Objective Weight reduction improves several obesity-related health conditions. We aimed to compare the effect of bariatric surgery and comprehensive lifestyle intervention on type 2 diabetes cardiovascular risk factors. Design One-year controlled clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT00273104). Methods Morbidly obese subjects (19–66 years, mean ( s.d. ) body mass index 45.1 kg/m (5.6), 103 women) were treated with either Roux-en-Y gastric bypass n =80) or intensive at a...
Abstract Introduction Exsanguination due to trauma-induced coagulopathy is a continuing challenge in emergency trauma care. Fibrinogen crucial factor for haemostatic competence, and may be the that reaches critically low levels first. Early fibrinogen substitution advocated by number of authors. Little evidence exists regarding indications supplementation acute phase. This study aims estimate prevalence hypofibrinogenaemia multi-center population, explore how initial concentration relates...
The prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism is high among morbidly obese subjects. Further, low serum levels 25-hydroxyvitamin (25 [OH]D) magnesium have been associated with increased risk the metabolic syndrome (MS), recently, a possible link between PTH MS has reported. Although it well known that synthesis secretion regulated by calcium, phosphate, 25(OH)D, less about clustered affiliation these parameters MS. We aimed to explore whether abnormal PTH,...
The aim of this study was to obtain normal reference ranges and intra-observer reproducibility for left (L) right (R) atrial (A) volume indexes (VI, corrected body surface area) ejection fractions (EF) with real-time three-dimensional echocardiography. One hundred sixty-six participants, 79 males 87 females, aged 29–79 years considered free from clinical subclinical cardiovascular disease, were included. Normal are defined as 95% values dimensions coefficients variations (CVs) repeated...
We aimed to assess the long-term effects of post-transplant glycaemia on survival after renal transplantation. Study participants were 1,410 consecutive transplant recipients without known diabetes who underwent an OGTT 10 weeks and observed for a median 6.7 years (range 0.3–13.8 years). The HRs adjusted age, sex, traditional risk factors transplant-related estimated. Each 1 mmol/l increase in fasting plasma glucose (fPG) or 2 h (2hPG) was associated with 11% (95% CI −1%, 24%) 5% (1%, 9%)...
Alcohol use is increasing among women in Africa, and comparable information about women's current alcohol needed to inform national international health policies relevant the entire population. This study aimed provide a comparative description of across 20 African countries.Data were collected as part WHO World Health Survey using standardized questionnaires. In total, 40,739 adult included present study. measures lifetime abstinence, (≥ 1 drink previous week), heavy drinking (15+ drinks...
Responses from the H1N1 swine flu pandemic and recent COVID-19 coronavirus provide an opportunity for insight into role of health authorities' ways communicating risk information to public. We aimed synthesise existing evidence regarding different modes communication used by authorities in with public during a pandemic.
Current management principles of hemorrhagic shock after trauma emphasize earlier transfusion therapy to prevent dilution clotting factors and correct coagulopathy. London's Air Ambulance (LAA) was the first UK civilian prehospital service routinely offer red blood cell (RBC) (phRTx). We investigated effect phRTx on mortality.Retrospective database study comparing mortality before implementation with in exsanguinating patients. Univariate logistic regression performed for unadjusted...
Missing data is a recurrent issue in many fields of medical research, particularly questionnaires. The aim this article to describe and compare six conceptually different multiple imputation methods, alongside the commonly used complete case analysis, explore whether choice methodology for handling missing might impact clinical conclusions drawn from regression model when are categorical.In addition we tested following methods: using expectation-maximization with bootstrapping,...
To examine the effects of a computer-assisted, interactive tailored patient assessment (ITPA) tool in oncology practice on: documented care, symptom distress, and patients' need for management support during treatment rehabilitation.For this repeated measures clinical trial at university hospital Norway, 145 patients starting leukemia or lymphoma were randomly assigned to either an intervention (n=75) control group (n=70). Both groups used ITPA assessments prior inpatient outpatient visits...
Obesity is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Arterial stiffness assessed by carotid femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) an independent predictor morbidity and mortality. We aimed to investigate how various measures body composition affect arterial stiffness. This analysis cross-sectional baseline data from a controlled clinical trial addressing changes in after either surgery or lifestyle intervention population morbidly obese patients. High-fidelity applanation...
The effects of various weight loss strategies on pancreatic beta cell function remain unclear. We aimed to compare the effect intensive lifestyle intervention (ILI) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB) function.One year controlled clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT00273104).One hundred nineteen morbidly obese participants without known diabetes from MOBIL study (mean (s.d.) age 43.6 (10.8) years, body mass index (BMI) 45.5 (5.6) kg/m², 84 women) were allocated RYGB (n =...
Purpose To study the relation between presence of axillary lymph node (LN) involvement and age in breast cancer. Patients Methods The cancer database University Hospitals Leuven contains complete data on 2,227 patients with early consecutively treated 2000 2005. A multivariate piecewise logistic regression model was used to analyze LN at diagnosis. similar analysis then performed a large, independent, population-based from Eindhoven Cancer Registry investigate whether effects could be...
Obesity is associated with vitamin D deficiency (25-hydroxyvitamin (25(OH)D) <50 nmol/l). We aimed to examine the effect of gender on status in severe obesity. Cross-sectional study 2026 morbidly obese patients examined consecutively at a tertiary care centre between November 2005 and June 2010. Serum 25(OH)D concentration use supplements were registered all patients. Total intake (μg/day) was assessed subgroup 154 using validated food frequency questionnaire. The male (n=690) female...
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common yet underdiagnosed condition. The aim of our study to test whether prediabetes and type 2 diabetes are associated with obstructive in extremely obese (BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2) subjects. One hundred thirty seven consecutive patients (99 females) from controlled clinical trial [MOBIL-study (Morbid Obesity treatment, Bariatric surgery versus Intensive Lifestyle intervention Study) (ClinicalTrials.gov number NCT00273104)] underwent somnography Embletta® 2-hour...
The association of early-onset posttransplantation hyperglycemia with long-term renal allograft survival is unknown.Seventy-one (SD 9) days after transplantation, 1410 first-time kidney transplant recipients without diabetes underwent an oral glucose tolerance test and were observed until primary outcome (graft loss) or December 31, 2008 (median [range], 6.0 years [0.3-13.8 years]). We used multivariable Cox regression analysis adjusted for age, gender, body mass index, creatinine level,...
