Bowel dysfunction was assessed after low anterior resection with and without neoadjuvant therapy (NT) for rectal cancer using a novel symptom-based scoring system correlated quality of life.We identified all patients who underwent curative in Denmark between 2001 2007. A questionnaire on bowel function life, including the recently validated syndrome score (LARS score; range 0-42) administered to recurrence-free 2009. We used multivariate analysis examine association major LARS ≥ 30) number...
Objectives In recent years welfare in Denmark has increased which might be expected to reduce otitis media (OM) incidence. We examined the age-specific incidence of OM a nation-wide cohort children aged 0–7 born 1996–2003 (Danish National Birth Cohort, DNBC). Only selection was ability understand and speak Danish. Methods Information ventilation tubes (VT) collected through three maternal interviews at 6-month, 18-month 7-years age based on this cumulative calculated. As different numbers...
Epidemiological data on middle-ear pathology during pre-school age are lacking despite the striking frequency of symptoms in this group. To evaluate applicability impedance test younger groups and to make an epidemiological study distribution tympanogram types a normal group preschool children, attempt was made examine all 523 3-year-olds limited geographic area. 1005 ears 504 children (96.4% those invited) were fully investigated with tympanometry otoscopy Siegle's speculum within 4 weeks....
The operative findings in a homogeneous, preoperatively followed population of 46 3- to 4-year-old children with middle ear effusion treated by adenotomy and paracentesis were correlated the results pre- postoperative tympanometry. Factors prognostic value only immediate type tympanogram quantity effusion, not its viscosity. combination determinative factors divided material into four groups showing different course through 6-month follow-up.

The aim this study was examine potential selection bias induced non-response comparing responder non-responder populations baseline,...
In recent years, high frequencies of trimethoprim resistance in urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by E. coli are have been reported. Co-resistance to other antimicrobial drugs may play a role this increase. Therefore, we investigated whether previous use was associated with resistance. We conducted nested case-control study cultures from participants the Rotterdam Study sent general practitioners regional laboratory between 1 January 2000 and April 2016. Multivariable logistic...
