This paper sets out to investigate what effects healthcare privatisation has on healthcare staffing levels and other healthcare metrics in regional Swedish healthcare. Using econometric techniques and relying on public data of public healthcare spending on private actors as a proportion of total regional healthcare spending, this paper finds that privatisation in general has no significant effects
The elderly population is increasing and with advanced age comes a higher risk for contracting diseases and excessive medicine use. Polypharmacy can lead to drug-related problems and an increased need of health care. More needs to be done to help overcome these problems. In order for new models to be successful and possible to implement in health care they have to be accepted by caregivers. The ai
BACKGROUND: Non-fatal outcomes of disease and injury increasingly detract from the ability of the world's population to live in full health, a trend largely attributable to an epidemiological transition in many countries from causes affecting children, to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) more common in adults. For the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2015 (GBD 2015), we
BACKGROUND: Improving survival and extending the longevity of life for all populations requires timely, robust evidence on local mortality levels and trends. The Global Burden of Disease 2015 Study (GBD 2015) provides a comprehensive assessment of all-cause and cause-specific mortality for 249 causes in 195 countries and territories from 1980 to 2015. These results informed an in-depth investigati
BACKGROUND:: There is a lack of knowledge about how the provision and availability of specialized palliative care relates to the quality of dying in hospital and community-based settings. AIM:: We aimed to explore the quality of care during last week of life in relation to different levels of palliative care development. DESIGN:: We investigated access to palliative care in Southern Sweden, where
BACKGROUND: Global development goals increasingly rely on country-specific estimates for benchmarking a nation's progress. To meet this need, the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2016 estimated global, regional, national, and, for selected locations, subnational cause-specific mortality beginning in the year 1980. Here we report an update to that study, making use
Background: Careful assessment of the reasons for discontinuation of active surveillance (AS) is required for men with prostate cancer (PCa). Objective: Using Movember's Global Action Plan Prostate Cancer Active Surveillance initiative (GAP3) database, we report on reasons for AS discontinuation. Design, setting, and participants: We compared data from 10 296 men on AS from 21 centres across 12 co
Background: Throughout the world many people have both obesity and chronic pain, comorbidities that decrease Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL). It is uncertain whether patients with comorbid obesity can maintain improved HRQoL after Interdisciplinary Multimodal Pain Rehabilitation (IMMPR). Methods: Data from 2016, 2017, and 2018 were obtained from a national pain database for Swedish speciali
Assessing the causal effects of individual dietary macronutrients and cardiometabolic disease is challenging owing to the complexity to distinguish direct effects from those mediated or confounded by other factors. To estimate these effects, intake of protein, carbohydrate, sugar, fat, and its subtypes were obtained using food frequency data derived from a Swedish population-based cohort (n~60,000
We created an AI support for diagnosis in dyspneic adults at time of triage in the emergency department.Complete data from an entire regional health care system was analyzed, to find AI-derived, unknown, important diagnostic predictors. Most important were prior diagnoses of heart failure or COPD, daily smoking, atrial fibrillation/flutter, life difficulties and maternal care.Sensitivity for AHF,
Det har visat sig att fysisk aktivitet minskar risken för en rad olika sjukdomar. Studien syftade till att undersöka fysisk aktivitet i olika kontexter och på olika nivåer för att bidra med ny kunskap om eventuella hälsofördelar med fysisk aktivitet. Då det är betydelsefullt för organisationens effektivitet och produktivitet att de anställda mår bra är det också viktigt att organisationen arbetar Physical activity has been shown to reduce the risk of several illnesses. The study aimed to investigate physical activity in different contexts and on different levels to contribute with new knowledge about possible health benefits linked to physical activity. Since the health of the employees is crucial for the organization’s efficiency and productivity it is important that organizations promote
Svenska elitidrottares mentala träningsvanor undersöktes genom en webbaserad enkätundersökning som besvarades av 47 aktiva idrottare (28 män, 19 kvinnor, ålder 16-37, M=25) inom fotboll, friidrott, handboll, ishockey och tennis. Studien visade att svenska elitidrottare i genomsnitt ägnar 41 minuter i veckan åt olika mentala träningsformer, dock med stor individuell spridning. Mängden mental träninThis paper aimed to study to what extent Swedish elite athletes engage themselves in psychological skills training (PST). The study was conducted through a web-based survey with 47 respondents (28 men, 19 women, age 16-37, M=25) from five sports; handball, ice hockey, soccer, tennis and track and field. The results showed that the athletes spend on average 41 minutes a week on different types of m
Background: Every year, many infants are infected with the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) or other agents and need hospitalisation due to bronchiolitis. The disease causes much suffering and high costs. Thus, it is important that the treatment methods are both effective and cost-efficient. The use of different physiotherapy treatment methods is debated, and not all methods are evaluated scienti
Carbon-14 (14C) is an important contributor to the collective effective dose to the public due to releases from nuclear power plants (NPPs). In Sweden, only airborne emissions of 14C from NPPs are currently routinely monitored, and the existing data on waterborne 14C discharges are limited. A recent study of 14C in brown algae (Fucus spp.) in Swedish coastal waters showed higher F14C values collec
Introduction: This multicenter, prospective observational study aimed to evaluate the performance of the StatStrip® Lactate 2 (Nova Biomedical, Waltham, US) point-of-care device for fetal blood lactate measurement and to determine the corresponding lactate value equivalent to the established intervention cutoff used with the outgoing StatStrip® Lactate device. Material and Methods: The study was c
Action-detected two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (A-2DES) provides valuable insights into ultrafast dynamics within functional materials and devices by measuring incoherent signals like photocurrent. This work details the implementation and optimization of a pulse-shaper-based A-2DES setup, focusing on methodological strategies crucial for acquiring high-fidelity data. We present a comprehe
