Many signals of menstrual disturbances as possible side effects vaccination against COVID-19 have been reported. Our objective was to compare the risk before and after among women aged 18-30 years in Oslo, Norway. We used electronic questionnaires collect reports from 3972 years, participating population-based Norwegian Young Adult Cohort. examined occurrence (heavier bleeding than usual, prolonged bleeding, shorter interval between menstruations, longer spot bleedings, stronger pain during...

BackgroundOlder age is associated with poorer outcomes to COVID-19 infection. The Norwegian Institute of Public Health established a longitudinal cohort adults aged 65–80 years study the effects pandemic. Here we describe characteristics in general, and specifically immune responses at baseline after primary booster vaccination subset blood samples, epidemiological factors affecting these responses.Methods4551 participants were recruited, humoral (n=299) cellular (n=90) measured before two...

Background Elevated white blood cell (WBC) count is associated with risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in cancer patients initiating chemotherapy. It not known whether the VTE by WBC causal or merely a consequence malignant disease. To address this question, we studied association between count, measured prior to development, and subjects who did develop during follow-up prospective population-based study. Methods Baseline characteristics, including neutrophil counts, were 24304 initially...

The association between coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination and vaginal bleeding among nonmenstruating women is not well studied. Norwegian Institute of Public Health followed several cohorts throughout the pandemic early performed a systematic data collection self-reported unexpected in women. Among 7725 postmenopausal women, 7148 perimenopausal 7052 premenopausal 3.3, 14.1, 13.1% experienced during period 8 to 9 months, respectively. In risk (i.e., bleeding) 4 weeks after...

We investigated pre-cancer alone together high leukocyte was subjects who did and develop during follow-up a population-based cohort study.

Although venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a known common complication in cancer patients, there limited knowledge on patient-related and cancer-specific risk factors the general population. The Scandinavian Thrombosis Cancer (STAC) Cohort was established by merging individual data from three large cohorts (The Tromsø Study, second Nord-Trøndelag Health Danish Diet, Study). Here, we present profile of STAC cohort provide age-specific incidence rates VTE cancer.The includes 144,952 subjects...

Background: Many signals of menstrual disturbances as possible side effects vaccination against COVID-19 have been reported. Our objective was to estimate the association between and occurrence such among women aged 18-30 years in Norway.Methods: We used electronic questionnaires collect reports from 3972 years, participating population-based Norwegian Young Adult Cohort. estimated relative risk according using a self-controlled case-series design. examined before after both first second...
