Next of kin participation in the care of older persons in nursing homes : A pre-post non-randomised educational evaluation, using within-group and individual person-level comparisons

BACKGROUND: Next of kin participation in care is a cornerstone of palliative care and is thus important in nursing homes, and outcomes following interventions need to be evaluated using robust methods.OBJECTIVE: To use within-group and within-individual analytical approaches to evaluate the participation of next of kin in care following an intervention and to compare the outcome between the interv

Acoustic propagation in variable sound speed profiles

An important topic in the area of airborne sound propagation is the prediction of sound propagation above an impedance ground with an atmospheric profile whose sound speed varies with height. Even if this problem is simple in concept, it leads to complications for general velocity profiles. This work illustrates the existence of a large class of realistic atmospheric profiles for which analytical

Uniform radiation conditions for a sound propagation model

In this work, a new set of uniform radiation boundary conditions for a half-space model are derived and applied to a fundamental problem in outdoor sound propagation. This original approach derived here relies upon a high-order family of local radiation boundary conditions related to plane wave reflection coefficients. Validity of the approximation is carried out by examining sound propagation abo

Disease-specific hospitalizations among 5-year survivors of Wilms tumor : A Nordic population-based cohort study

Background: With modern therapy, over 90% of Wilms tumor patients can expect to become long-term survivors, and focus on morbidity and late effects become increasingly important. We provide a novel evaluation and insight to subsequent hospitalizations in 5-year survivors of Wilms tumor. Methods: As part of the Adult Life after Childhood Cancer in Scandinavia (ALiCCS) study, we identified 5-year su

Adaptation of the charlson comorbidity index for register-based research in sweden

Purpose: Comorbidity indices are often used to measure comorbidities in register-based research. We aimed to adapt the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) to a Swedish setting. Methods: Four versions of the CCI were compared and evaluated by disease-specific experts. Results: We created a cohesive coding system for CCI to 1) harmonize the content between different international classification of dise
