Background: Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is a serious complication of longstanding diabetes and associated with an increased morbidity reduced quality life in patients diabetes. The present study evaluated the prevalence CAN diagnosed by heart rate variability (HRV) using newly developed device large, unselected, hospital-based population Methods: examined 323 consisting 206 type 1 (T1DM) 117 2 (T2DM) patients. new handheld prototype Vagus™ was used to screen for CAN. Three different...
Background: The objective was to identify the presence of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) in a cohort individuals with diabetes outpatient clinics from 4 different parts Denmark and explore difference between type 1 2 relation CAN. Methods: DAN-Study is Danish multicenter study focusing on diabetic neuropathy. Over period 12 months, 382 271 were tested for Patients randomly recruited during normal visits at hospitals. CAN quantified by performing 3 reflex tests (response standing,...
To reduce colorectal cancer (CRC) mortality through population-based screening programmes using faecal tests, it is important that individuals continue to participate in the repeated rounds of screening. We aimed identify lifestyle predictors for discontinuation immunochemical test (FIT) after first round, as well neoplasia detected second-round FIT In this longitudinal study, we invited 6959 aged 50–74 years from south-east Norway a round and complete self-reported questionnaire on...
Objective: The objective of this study was to elucidate whether the degree autonomic modulation is associated with microvascular complications in patients type 1 diabetes. Methods: A total 290 individuals diabetes were randomly recruited during normal visits outpatient clinics at 4 Danish hospitals. modulations quantified by measuring heart rate variability (HRV) passive spectral analysis and active tests (valsalva ratio [VT], response standing [RT], deep breathing [E:I]). To describe...
Repeated rounds of faecal immunochemical testing (FIT) for occult blood is a common method screening colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the time interval between FIT not thoroughly investigated. In CRC trial in South-Eastern Norway, individuals were invited biennial 2012 and 2019. The positivity threshold was >15 mcg haemoglobin/g faeces (mcg/g). Due to organizational challenges, randomly varied 1.5 3.5 years, forming natural experiment. We investigated detection rate advanced neoplasia (AN:...
Colonoscopy-related adverse events increase the burden of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. This cross-sectional study evaluates during and after colonoscopy in a large, randomised CRC screening trial Norway comparing sigmoidoscopy to immunochemical testing for faecal blood.
Background Women are at high risk for painful colonoscopy. Pain, but also sedation, barriers to colorectal cancer (CRC) screening participation. In a randomised controlled trial, we compared on-demand with pre-colonoscopy opioid administration control pain in women CRC age.Methods Women, aged 55–79 years, attending colonoscopy two Norwegian endoscopy units were 1:1:1 (1) fentanyl on-demand, (2) prior colonoscopy, or (3) alfentanil on-demand. The primary endpoint was procedural reported by...
