The aim of this study was to describe how diabetes complications influence the health-related quality life individuals with using individual EQ-5D dimensions and index. We mailed a questionnaire 1,000 type 1 2 in Norway. had questions about socio-demographic characteristics, use health care, finally descriptive system. Logistic regressions were used explore determinants responses dimensions, robust linear regression In multivariate analyses strongest reduced MOBILITY neuropathy ischemic...
The long-term pulmonary outcomes of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are unknown. We aimed to describe self-reported dyspnoea, quality life, function and chest computed tomography (CT) findings 3 months following hospital admission for COVID-19. hypothesised be inferior patients admitted intensive care units (ICUs), compared with non-ICU patients. Discharged COVID-19 from six Norwegian hospitals were enrolled consecutively in a prospective cohort study. current report describes the first...
This study assessed symptoms and their determinants 1.5–6 months after symptom onset in non-hospitalised subjects with confirmed COVID-19 until 1 June 2020, a geographically defined area. We invited 938 subjects; 451 (48%) responded. They reported less than during COVID-19; median (IQR) 0 (0–2) versus 8 (6–11), respectively (p<0.001); 53% of women 67% men were free, while 16% dyspnoea, 12% loss/disturbance smell, 10% taste. In multivariable analysis, having persistent was associated the...
Background This study aimed to describe cardiopulmonary function during exercise 3 months after hospital discharge for COVID-19 and compare groups according dyspnoea intensive care unit (ICU) stay. Methods Participants with discharged from five large Norwegian hospitals were consecutively invited a multicentre, prospective cohort study. In total, 156 participants (mean age 56.2 years, 60 females) examined test (CPET) compared reference population. Dyspnoea was assessed using the modified...
This study assessed the prevalence and determinants of fatigue in a population-based cohort non-hospitalized subjects 1.5–6 months after COVID-19. It was mixed postal/web survey all patients ≥18 years with positive PCR for SARS-CoV-2 until 1 June 2020 geographically defined area. In total, 938 received questionnaire including Chalder scale (CFQ-11) energy/fatigue RAND-36 questionnaire. We estimated z scores comparison general population norms. Determinants were analyzed using multivariable...
Despite side effects associated with the use of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), withdrawal AEDs remains controversial, even after prolonged seizure freedom. The main objective this study was to assess AED on cognitive functions, relapse, health-related quality life (HRQOL), and EEG results. Additionally, potential predictors for freedom from seizures were studied.Patients, seizure-free more than 2 years monotherapy, recruited a controlled, prospective, randomized, double-blinded lasting 12...
The interpretation of the SF-36 in Norwegian populations largely uses normative data from 1996. This study presents for general population 2002-2003 which has been used comparative purposes but not assessed measurement properties.As part Level Living Survey 2002-2003, a postal survey was conducted comprising 9,164 members aged 16 years and over representative Norway who received version 1.2. against widely applied criteria including completeness assumptions relating to construction scoring...
Cutpoints (CPs) for mild, moderate and severe pain are established used primarily in cancer pain. In this study, we wanted to determine the optimal CPs moderate, joint replacement surgery candidates with osteoarthritis (OA) of hip or knee, validate different CPs.Patients (n = 353) completed Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), WOMAC Arthritis Index, SF-36 health status measure. Optimal categorizing average three severity levels were derived using multivariate analysis variance, CP sets as independent...
This study compared the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) information derived from chart review and administrative systems to assess completeness agreement between scores, evaluate capacity predict 30-day 1-year mortality in intensive care unit (ICU) patients, compare predictive with that of Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) II model.Using data 959 patients admitted a general ICU Norwegian university hospital 2007 2009, we CCI score systems. Agreement was assessed using % agreement,...
Background: Early identification of patients with a prolonged stay due to acute exacerbation chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may reduce risk adverse event and treatment costs. This study aimed identify predictors after COPD based on variables admission; the also looked establish prediction model for length (LOS). Methods: We extracted demographic clinical data from medical records 599 discharged an between March 2006 December 2008 at Oslo University Hospital, Aker. used logistic...
This population-based study assessed the prevalence and determinants of symptom-defined post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in a cohort hospitalized non-hospitalized patients about 1.5–6 months after their COVID-19 onset. The data were acquired from two mixed postal/web surveys June–September 2020 all aged ≥18 years with positive polymerase chain reaction for severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) until 1 June 2020, comprising both subjects. catchment areas included...
To provide the first Norwegian EQ-5D-5L and EQ VAS population norms for adult general population.Postal survey of a random sample 12,790 Norwegians identified through National Registry Tax Administration. Norms, weighted characteristics, are shown five dimensions, EQ-5D index, scores seven age categories, females, males, education level.There were 3200 (25.9%) respondents to 12,263 correctly addressed questionnaires. The VAS, background questions completed by 3120 (24.6%) respondents. mean...
Background The extent of cardiac dysfunction post‐COVID‐19 varies, and there is a lack data on arrhythmic burden. Methods Results This was combined multicenter prospective cohort study cross‐sectional case‐control study. Cardiac function assessed by echocardiography in patients with COVID‐19 3 to 4 months after hospital discharge compared matched controls. 24‐hour ECGs were recorded COVID‐19. A total 204 consented participate (mean age, 58.5 years; 44% women), controls included 58.4 women)....
Lung function has been associated with mortality after adjusting for other risk factors; however, few studies have adjusted physical fitness and reported separate analyses according to smoking status. In 1972–1975, spirometry, clinical physiological parameters were recorded in 1,623 apparently healthy males aged 40–59 yrs. After 26 yrs of follow-up, the current authors investigated association between baseline lung mortality, smoking, potential factors. By 2000, 615 individuals (38%) had...
Summary: Purpose : To study the impact of epilepsy in a representative sample people with and compare normal reference population. Methods We collected clinical demographic data information on health status by using Short Form 36 (SF‐36) questionnaire two populations: (a) 397 patients confirmed attending county hospital during 7‐year period, (b) 1,663 from random entire national Results The respondents had well‐regulated disease showed characteristics community sample: 70% no seizures last...
Pain is a cardinal symptom of osteoarthritis (OA) the hip and important for deciding when to operate. This study assessed internal consistency reliability, validity responsiveness Brief Inventory (BPI) among patients with OA undergoing total replacement (THR). We prospectively included 250 356 who were accepted waiting list primary THR surgery. All participants responded BPI, WOMAC SF-36 at baseline 1 year after Internal reliability (Cronbach's α) was >0.80 five eight scales The pattern...
