BACKGROUND: Proenkephalin A 119-159 (penKid) has been suggested as a marker of renal failure and poor outcome. We aimed to investigate the association of penKid on ICU admission with organ dysfunction and mortality in a mixed ICU population. In this retrospective, observational study, admission penKid levels from prospectively collected blood samples of consecutive patients admitted to four Swedis

Purpose: Very old critical ill patients are a rapid expanding group in the ICU. Indications for admission, triage criteria and level of care are frequently discussed for such patients. However, most relevant outcome studies in this group frequently find an increased mortality and a reduced quality of life in survivors. The main objective was to study the impact of frailty compared with other varia

Reducing socioeconomic health inequalities is a key goal of most health systems. When care providers are paid prospectively, e.g., by a fixed sum per patient, existing inequalities may be sustained by the incentives to undertreat relatively unhealthy patients. To counter these incentives, prospective payments are often risk-adjusted based on observable patient characteristics. Despite that risk ad

Little research exists on how home care nursing personnel have experienced the Covid-19 pandemic. This qualitative study explores the work environment related challenges nurses and managers in home care faced during the pandemic. We discuss these challenges in relation to the Demand-Control-Support Model and reflect on how the organizational dynamics associated with them can be understood using th

Reducing socioeconomic health inequalities is a key goal of most health systems. A challenge in this regard is that healthcare providers may have incentives to avoid or undertreat patients who are relatively costly to treat. Due to the socioeconomic gradient in health, individuals with low socioeconomic status (SES) are especially likely to be negatively affected by such attempts. To counter these

Vi studerar blod- och immunsystemet och dess sjukdomar. Ett särskilt fokusområde är hur medfödd genetisk variation påverkar hur blod- och immunceller, och hur sådan variation kan utnyttjas kliniskt. Vilka gener och genmutationer styr t ex risken för blodcancer? Kan vi utnyttja dem för att förebygga och behandla? Vilka styr vår blodgruppsuppsättning? Kan vi utnyttja dem för säkrare transfusion? EttWe study the blood and immune system and its diseases. A particular focus area is how congenital genetic variation affects blood and immune cells, and how such variation can be utilized clinically. Which genes and gene mutations control, for example, the risk of blood cancer? Can we use them to prevent and treat? Who controls our blood group set? Can we use them for safer transfusion?
