LUPOP is running a matchmaking initiative, connecting clinically active researchers with non-clinicians who are willing to help out with research during the corona-pandemic. Today, the team of researchers who are willing to help can provide expertise in these areasAgeingBioinformaticsBiology (molecular, computational)BiomarkersCardiometabolic risksData management (data mining, data compilation, da

Loss to follow-up in dementia studies is common and related to cognition, which worsens over time. We aimed to describe dropout and missing cognitive data in the Swedish dementia registry, SveDem; identify factors associated with dropout; and estimate propensity scores and use them to adjust for dropout. New publication in Alzheimers Dement

Male hypogonadism is associated with higher risk of co-morbidity and premature mortality. It is, therefore, of utmost importance to identify young men who are at the highest risk of testosterone deficiency and who may benefit from preventive measures. In this context, infertile men constitute a high-risk group. The extent of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) among infertile men, defined as me
C-reactive protein (CRP) is not included in the major intensive care unit (ICU) prognostic tools such as the Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS). We assessed CRP on ICU admission as a SAPS-3 independent risk marker for short-term mortality and length of stay (LOS) in ICU patients with sepsis. New publication in Journal of Critical Care
The cognitive components of subjective well-being can be measured with the Satisfaction with life scale (SWLS) and the Harmony in life scale (HILS), which both comprise five items each. The aim of this article is to abbreviate these scales and examine their psychometric properties and validity. Three datasets including test-retest data are used (N = 787; N = 860; N = 343). New publication in Journ
The West Sweden Asthma Study (WSAS) is a population-representative longitudinal study established to: generate data on prevalence trends, incidence and remission of asthma, allergy and respiratory conditions, elucidate on the risk and prognostic factors associated with these diseases, characterise clinically relevant phenotypes of these diseases and catalyse relevant mechanistic, genomic, genetic
Treatment options for peritoneal metastases (PM) from colorectal cancer (CRC) have increased, their efficiency should be monitored. For this purpose, register-based data on PM can be used, if valid. Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the completeness and positive predictive value (PPV) of synchronous peritoneal metastases (S-PM) registered among CRC patients in the Danish National Patient Register (DNP
Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) and its risk factors may differ between various populations. Few studies have compared the risk profiles associated with cfPWV in different ethnic populations. The study population included 4321 subjects from Shanghai, China (n = 1272, age 75.0 ± 6.5 years, female 57.3%) and Malmö, Sweden (n = 3049, age 72.5 ± 5.5 years, female 60.4%). cfPWV was measured
The Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy (SACT) database is a population-based resource of SACT activity reported routinely by National Health Service (NHS) trusts in England. Data are collected on the SACT treatments of adult and paediatric patients, delivered in secondary and tertiary settings with the intention of improving survival, delaying further cancer progression or development and improving dise

There are limited data regarding efficacy of abatacept treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) outside clinical trials. Quality registers have been useful for observational studies on tumor necrosis factor inhibition in clinical practice. The aim of this study was to investigate clinical efficacy and tolerability of abatacept in RA, using a national register. New publication in BMC Arthritis Resea
The National Cancer Registration and Analysis Service (NCRAS), part of Public Health England (PHE), is the population-based cancer registry for England. It collects, quality assures and analyses data on all people living in England who are diagnosed with malignant and pre-malignant neoplasms, with national coverage since 1971. It produces the national cancer registration dataset for England. The p

A circumferential resection margin (CRM) of 1·0 mm or less after rectal cancer surgery is thought to increase the risk of local recurrence (LR). This retrospective population‐based study examined how CRM distance affects the LR risk. New publication in BJS Society
The National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) was conceived in 1997 during a multidisciplinary conference focused on risk communication with attenders representing the fields of psychology, health behaviour and education, public health, clinical medicine and health journalism. The key recommendation born of this conference encouraged NCI to develop a commu

Epidemiologists are often confronted with datasets to analyse which contain measurement error due to, for instance, mistaken data entries, inaccurate recordings and measurement instrument or procedural errors. If the effect of measurement error is misjudged, the data analyses are hampered and the validity of the study’s inferences may be affected. In this paper, we describe five myths that contrib
