Importance Current guidelines for treating small- to medium-sized vestibular schwannoma recommend either upfront radiosurgery or waiting treat until tumor growth has been detected radiographically. Objective To determine whether provides superior volume reduction a wait-and-scan approach schwannoma. Design, Setting, and Participants Randomized clinical trial of 100 patients with newly diagnosed (<6 months) unilateral maximal diameter less than 2 cm in the cerebellopontine angle as...
Objective To pilot test the proposed DiaPROM trial components and address uncertainties associated with conducting a full-scale randomised controlled (RCT) to evaluate whether such is feasible. Design Two-arm RCT. Participants Adults aged ≥18–39 years, minimum 1 year type diabetes duration, attending outpatient follow-up.

Background Patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and poor glycaemic control are at high risk of developing microvascular macrovascular complications. The aim this study was to determine if a quality improvement collaborative (QIC) initiated by the Norwegian Diabetes Register for adults (NDR-A) could reduce proportion patients T1DM (defined as glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c)≥75 mmol/mol) mean HbA1c participating clinics compared 14 clinics. Method Multicentre controlled before after...
We investigated whether adding gastropexy to sleeve gastrectomy (SG) reduced gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in patients operated for severe obesity, assessed mainly by use of anti-reflux medication (ARM) and second operations due GERD worsening. In a prospective non-randomized study, undergoing SG at two Norwegian hospitals were included from 2011 2015 followed 7 years. was defined regular ARM, epigastric pain heartburn measured the Rome II questionnaire. Gastropexy done suturing...
Abstract Background/Objectives Gastopexy (G) has been introduced as a surgical technique to reduce gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy (SG). We aimed determine whether adding G SG improves use of acid reducing medication (ARM), second operations for GERD, epigastric pain or heartburn after surgery. Subjects/Methods Patients at two Norwegian hospitals were included consecutively from 2011 2015. Data was collected prospectively up 7 years GERD...
Background: The NDR-A is a national diabetes quality register. Norwegian health authorities specify that registers must include data from Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) in addition to biomedical data. retrieves electronic patient records (EPR). This raises the possibility of utilizing PROMs clinical consultations. main PROM included Problem Areas Diabetes scale (PAID). Aim: To test feasibility using delivery mode collect and examine how patients care providers experience EPR’s...
