• The impact of socioeconomic status on the risk and prognosis of venous thromboembolism 

      Jørgensen, Helle (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2022-11-04)
      Venøs tromboembolisme (VTE), bestående av dyp venetrombose (DVT) og lungeemboli (PE), er en utbredt og multifaktoriell sykdom med langtidskomplikasjoner som negativt påvirker fysisk funksjon og livskvalitet. Sosioøkonomisk status (SES) er kjent for å påvirke både risiko og prognose for helsemessige og helserelaterte utfall. Selv om assosiasjoner mellom VTE og fysisk helse er godt dokumentert, finnes ...

      Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is associated with increased risk of disability pension. How socioeconomic status (SES) impacts the risk of disability pension after a VTE is unknown. The aim of this nationwide population based cohort study to investigate the interaction between SES and incident VTE on the risk of subsequent disability pension.<p> <p>Methods: Using Danish national medical ...

    • Norske kvinner og tyske soldater. En undersøkelse av kvinner fra Alta, Tromsø og Lenvik som var sammen med tyske soldater under andre verdenskrig 

      Jørgensen, Helle (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2006-06-14)
      Beregnet ut fra antall registrerte barn med norske mødre og tyske fedre antar man at ca. 40-50 000 norske kvinner hadde et forhold til tyske soldater. Samtiden ville ha det til at de var infantile, løsaktige kvinner med liten intelligens og lav sosial status, mens de i nyere tid har blir karakterisert som utkantkvinner som fikk livet snudd på hodet av invasjonen av over 300 000 tyske menn. Kvinnene ...
    • Risk of a permanent work-related disability pension after incident venous thromboembolism in Denmark: A population-based cohort study 

      Jørgensen, Helle; Horváth-Puhó, Erzsébet; Laugesen, Kristina; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas; Hansen, John-Bjarne; Sørensen, Henrik Toft (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-31)
      Background - Long-term complications of venous thromboembolism (VTE) hamper physical function and impair quality of life; still, it remains unclear whether VTE is associated with risk of permanent work-related disability. We aimed to assess the association between VTE and the risk of receiving a permanent work-related disability pension and to assess whether this association was explained by ...
    • Socioeconomic status and risk of incident venous thromboembolism 

      Jørgensen, Helle; Horváth-Puhó, Erzsébet; Laugesen, Kristina; Brækkan, Sigrid; Hansen, John-Bjarne; Sørensen, Henrik Toft (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-09)
      Background: Although venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, and socioeconomic status (SES) affects human health and health behavior, few studies have examined the association between SES and VTE. Objectives: We aimed to investigate the association between SES, assessed individually and in a composite score by levels of education, income, and employment status, and ...
    • Venous thromboembolism and risk of depression: a population-based cohort study
