We compared 19,207 cases of SARS-CoV-2 variant B.1.1.7/S gene target failure (SGTF), 436 B.1.351 and 352 P.1 to non-variant reported by seven European countries. COVID-19 with these variants had significantly higher adjusted odds ratios for hospitalisation (B.1.1.7/SGTF: 1.7, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.0–2.9; B.1.351: 3.6, CI: 2.1–6.2; P.1: 2.6, 1.4–4.8) B.1.1.7/SGTF also intensive care admission 2.3, 1.4–3.5; 2.2, 1.7–2.8).
By 9 December 2021, 785 SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant cases have been identified in Denmark. Most were fully (76%) or booster-vaccinated (7.1%); 34 (4.3%) had a previous infection. The majority of with available information reported symptoms (509/666; 76%) and most infected Denmark (588/644; 91%). One five cannot be linked to cases, indicating widespread community transmission. Nine hospitalised, one required intensive care no deaths registered.
A highly virulent sub-lineage of the Streptococcus pyogenes M1 clone has been rapidly expanding throughout Denmark since late 2022 and now accounts for 30% new invasive group streptococcal infections. We aimed to investigate whether a shift in variant composition can account high incidence rates observed over winter 2022/23, or if these are better explained by impact COVID-19-related restrictions on population immunity carriage .
We report an epidemic of parvovirus B19 infections in Denmark during the first quarter 2024, with a peak incidence 3.5 times higher than most recent 2017. In total, 20.1% (130/648) laboratory-confirmed cases were pregnant. Severe adverse outcomes observed among 12.3% (16/130) pregnant people and included foetal anaemia, hydrops miscarriage. Parvovirus infection is not systematically monitored, but national laboratory-based surveillance system currently being established Denmark.

In August 2019, Denmark implemented a proactive childhood vaccination reminder system. This study aimed to assess the effect of introduction this system on coverage and uptake first four vaccinations, namely tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis, polio, haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib)-infection (DTaP-IPV/Hib) recommended at three, five twelve months as well mumps, measles, rubella (MMR1) 15 months. was retrospective register-based cohort based two birth cohorts: children born in...
Noma is an infectious but opportunistic disease that often results in severe facial disfigurements and mortality if untreated. As noma progresses quickly, early detection treatment are important to prevent its development.The objective of this study was investigate primary healthcare workers' knowledge management a rural part Zambia.A cross-sectional self-completed survey conducted among 35 workers from two district hospitals 15 health centres Serenje District, Zambia. Participants' practice...
Abstract Background Noma is a quickly progressing, neglected opportunistic infection. It starts in the mouth as an oral lesion but can relatively develop into extensive facial destruction and lead to death if not treated time. This study aims shed light on primary healthcare workers’ practice competences working with knowledge of noma. Methods A structured questionnaire using questions case scenarios was filled out by 76 workers Burkina Faso. Half nurses included this participated 2-day noma...
Objectives Fathers play an important role in household decision-making processes and child health development. Nevertheless, they are under-represented research, especially low-income settings. Little is known about what roles fathers the care-seeking or how interact with system when their sick. This study aimed to understand Ethiopian fathers’ responsibilities caring for children become ill. Design Qualitative using semistructured interviews fathers. Setting was conducted three rural...
Background With declining malaria prevalence and improved use of diagnostic tests, an increasing proportion children seen by community health workers (CHWs) have unclassified fever. Current management guidelines WHO advise that with non-severe fever (on day 1) should return to CHWs on 3 for reassessment. We compared the safety conditional follow-up reassessment only in cases where symptoms do not resolve universal 3. Methods findings undertook a 2-arm cluster-randomised controlled...
Different health-care management guidelines by the World Health Organization exist to help health workers in resource-limited settings treat patients. However, for children with unclassified fever and no danger signs, are less clear follow-up recommendations differ. Both a "universal follow-up" all children, irrespective of status, "conditional only whose persists recommended different guidelines. It is unclear how feasible acceptable these two among community caregivers sick child. This...
Background Underlying conditions are risk factors for severe COVID-19 outcomes but evidence is limited about how risks differ with age. Aim We sought to estimate age-specific associations between underlying and hospitalisation, death in-hospital among cases. Methods analysed case-based data submitted The European Surveillance System 2 June 13 December 2020 by nine countries. Eleven cases only one condition the number of multimorbid were used as exposures. Adjusted odds ratios (aOR) estimated...
<h3></h3> Deliberate self-harm has received considerable attention during the last years. Researchers consider it to be a coping strategy used manage emotional distress and release tension. University students often encounter these feelings. Studies also suggest that might more common than previously expected, one study indicating 14% of sample 500 university had engaged in at least once their lifetime. In addition self-harm, alcohol impaired driving is among students, maybe unsurprisingly,...
Abstract Purpose To describe the occurrence of SARS-CoV-2 infections, deaths and outbreaks among residents in Danish long-term care facilities (LTCFs) from February 2020 to 2021. Methods COVID-19 national register data a newly implemented automated surveillance system was used incidence rate (per 1000 residents’ years), number tests, infections LTCF residents. A case defined as resident with positive PCR test. An outbreak two or more cases one within 14-day period, considered closed if no...
A register-based retrospective observational study was conducted to describe SARS-CoV-2 cases and case-clusters in schoolchildren of Danish primary lower secondary schools identify which factors were associated with the occurrence schools. The period autumn school semester 2021. Clusters defined as three or more a school-class level within 14 days. Descriptive analysis carried out multivariable logistic regression performed determine case introductions (i.e., case) being linked cluster. More...
Abstract Background In the Stockholm region, a regional political assembly is responsible for health care services population of 2.3 million. November 2017, leadership decided on programme to project and healthcare developments in region until 2040 as basis longterm plan. This presentation aims describe methodology used, share some results raise questions further work. Through we also seek collaboration with European partners involved similar planning Methodology Six perspectives analysis...
Background: Underlying conditions have been found to be associated with severe COVID-19 outcomes, such as hospitalisation and death. This study aimed estimate age-specific adjusted relative absolute effects of individual underlying on hospitalisation, death in-hospital among cases.Methods: We analysed case-based data submitted The European Surveillance System (TESSy) between 2 June 13 December 2020 by nine countries. individually assessed the association 11 Two additional categorical...
