Published 11 June 2020 Despite selective participation at follow-up, there is little evidence of selection bias, insofar as estimated associations were generally similar across participants, dropouts and the whole cohort. Read more at https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32466718/.

Published 28 June 2020 There has been an abundance of research discussing the health implications of generalised trust and happiness over the past two decades. Both attitudes have been touted as independent predictors of morbidity and mortality, with strikingly similar trajectories and biological pathways being hypothesised. To date, however, neither trust nor happiness have been considered simult

Published 28 June 2020 There has been a lack of estimates for the incidence/prevalence and treatment patterns of MPNs in many regions of the world, including countries from South Asia, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Turkey, leading to a difficulty in estimating the true disease burden. Hence, there is a need to establish databases like registries, which would provide information on the “real‐world
Published 29 June 2020 Prospective observational studies have shown previously that study participants have lower morbidity and mortality than non-participants. The aim of the current study was to determine whether participants in a prospective cohort study on melanoma have a different incidence and mortality of melanoma compared with non-participants and the background population. Information was
Published 29 June 2020 We have previously reported on the prosthetic survival of total ankle replacements (TAR) in Sweden performed between 1993 and 2010. Few other reports have been published on 5- and 10-year survival rates. Furthermore, there is a lack of long-term outcome data on modern prosthetic designs. Therefore, we compared early and current prosthetic designs after a mean 7-year follow-u
Published 30 June 2020 Registry‐based cohort study. The adjusted effect of surgical exposure for mortality was examined using Cox regression. Secondary analysis with conditional logistic regression in a case‐control subpopulation matched for age, gender, and Simplified Acute Physiology Score III (SAPS3) was also conducted.

Published 1 July 2020 The implementation of screening programmes in Sweden during the mid‐1990s increased the number of small node‐negative breast cancers. In this era before staging by sentinel node biopsy, routine axillary dissection for staging of early breast cancer was questioned owing to the increased morbidity and lack of perceived benefit. The long‐term risk of axillary recurrence when axi
Published 1 July 2020 As information and communication technology has become pervasive in our society, we are increasingly dependent on both digital data and repositories that provide access to and enable the use of such resources. Repositories must earn the trust of the communities they intend to serve and demonstrate that they are reliable and capable of appropriately managing the data they hold

Published 2 July 2020 The increasing trends in cesarean delivery are globally acknowledged. However, in many low-resource countries, socioeconomic disparities have created a pattern of underuse and overuse among lower and higher socioeconomic groups. The impact of rising cesarean delivery rates on neonatal survival is also unclear. New publication in Global Health Action
Published 2 July 2020 Although it has been established that low socioeconomic status is linked to increased risk of death after stroke, the mechanisms behind this link are still unclear. In this study we aim to shed light on the relationship between income level and survival after stroke by investigating the extent to which differences in stroke severity account for differences in survival.

Published 3 July 2020 While acute dizziness often is associated with vestibular deficits or of central nervous system (CNS) origin, the etiology of longstanding complaints of dizziness often cannot sufficiently be explained by such pathology alone. When vestibular deficits remain, the CNS is often able to compensate for the reduced or asymmetric vestibular activity with other sensory input, such a
Published 3 July 2020 Across today’s developed world, there is a clear mortality gradient by socioeconomic status for all ages. It is often taken for granted that this gradient was as strong—or even stronger—in the past when social transfers were rudimentary and health care systems were less developed. Some studies based on cross-sectional data have supported this view, but others based on longitu

We conducted a large population-based study to examine gestational age at birth in relation to hypertension risks from childhood into adulthood. New publication in European Heart Journal

Published 5 July 2020 The number of children who were born after their parents were diagnosed with central nervous system (CNS) tumor is increasing, but it remains largely unknown regarding the academic performance of these children. We aimed to investigate whether children of survivors with childhood or adolescent CNS tumor were associated with poor academic performance. Children of survivors of
Published 6 July 2020 We seek to identify factors that facilitate or inhibit transmission of drug abuse (DA) from high-risk parents to their children. In 44,250 offspring of these parents, ascertained from a Swedish national sample for having a mother and/or father with DA, we explored, using Cox models, how the prevalence of DA was predicted by potentially malleable risk factors in these high-ris
