A nationwide study of patients operated for cervical degenerative disorders in public and private hospitals
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-27)During the last decades, there has been an increase in the rate of surgery for degenerative disorders of the cervical spine and in the use of supplementary private health insurance. Still, there is limited knowledge about the diferences in characteristics of patients operated in public and private hospitals. Therefore, we aimed at comparing sociodemographic-, clinical- and patient management data ... -

Non-respondents do not bias outcome assessment after cervical spine surgery: a multicenter observational study from the Norwegian registry for spine surgery (NORspine)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-21)Background - The Norwegian registry for spine surgery (NORspine) is a national clinical quality registry which has recorded more than 10,000 operations for degenerative conditions of the cervical spine since 2012. Registries are large observational cohorts, at risk for attrition bias. We therefore aimed to examine whether clinical outcomes differed between respondents and non-respondents to standardized ... -

Obesity does not protect from subarachnoid haemorrhage: Pooled analysis of 3 large prospective Nordic cohorts
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-10)Background and purpose: Several population-based cohort studies have related higher body mass index (BMI) to a decreased risk of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The main objective of our study was to investigate whether the previously reported inverse association can be explained by modifying effects of the most important risk factors of SAH—smoking and hypertension.<p> <p>Methods: We conducted ... -
An observational study of compliance with the Scandinavian guidelines for management of minimal, mild and moderate head injury.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)The Scandinavian guidelines for management of minimal, mild and moderate head injuries were developed to provide safe and cost effective assessment of head injured patients. In a previous study conducted one year after publication and implementation of the guidelines (2003), we showed low compliance, involving over-triage with computed tomography (CT) and hospital admissions. The aim of the present ... -
Outcome of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage in a population-based cohort: Retrospective registry study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-29)BACKGROUND: Studies of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage report an association between higher patient volumes and better outcomes. In regions with dispersed settlement, this must be balanced against the advantages with shorter prehospital transport times and timely access. The aim of this study is to report outcome for unselected aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage cases from a well-defined rural ... -
Outcome prediction in chronic unilateral lumbar radiculopathy: Prospective cohort study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-07)Background: Identification of prognostic factors for persistent pain and disability are important for better understanding of the clinical course of chronic unilateral lumbar radiculopathy and to assist clinical decision-making. There is a lack of scientific evidence concerning prognostic factors. The aim of this study was to identify clinically relevant predictors for outcome at 52 weeks. <p>Methods: ... -
Prevalence of unruptured intracranial aneurysms: impact of different definitions-the Tromsø Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-10)Background - Management of incidental unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) remains challenging and depends on their risk of rupture, estimated from the assumed prevalence of aneurysms and the incidence of aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage. Reported prevalence varies, and consistent criteria for definition of UIAs are lacking. We aimed to study the prevalence of UIAs in a general population ... -
A prognostic model for failure and worsening after lumbar microdiscectomy: a multicenter study from the Norwegian Registry for Spine Surgery
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-10)<i>Objective</i> - To develop a prognostic model for failure and worsening 1 year after surgery for lumbar disc herniation.<br><br> <i>Methods</i> - This multicenter cohort study included 11,081 patients operated with lumbar microdiscectomy, registered at the Norwegian Registry for Spine Surgery. Follow-up was 1 year. Uni- and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to assess potential ... -
Prospects of returning to work after lumbar spine surgery for patients considering disability pension: A nationwide study based on data from the Norwegian Registry for Spine Surgery
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-09)Objectives To assess the odds for not returning to work (non-RTW) 1 year after treatment among patients who had applied for or were planning to apply for disability pension (DP-applicant) prior to an operation for degenerative disorders of the lumbar spine.<p> <p>Methods This population-based cohort study from the Norwegian Registry for Spine surgery included 26 688 cases operated for ... -
Reducing unwarranted variation: can a ‘clinical dashboard’ be helpful for hospital executive boards and top-level leaders?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-23)Background/aim: In the past decades, there has been an increasing focus on defining, identifying and reducing unwarranted variation in clinical practice. There have been several attempts to monitor and reduce unwarranted variation, but the experience so far is that these initiatives have failed to reach their goals. In this article, we present the initial process of developing a safety, quality and ... -

Would loss to follow-up bias the outcome evaluation of patients operated for degenerative disorders of the lumbar spine?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)Loss to follow-up may bias the outcome assessments of clinical registries. In this study, we wanted to determine whether outcomes were different in responding and non-responding patients who were included in a clinical spine surgery registry, at two years of follow-up. In addition, we wanted to identify risk factors for failure to respond. 633 patients who were operated for degenerative disorders ...
