• Bidirectional association between arterial and venous thrombosis 

      Lind, Caroline (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2017-06-22)
      Venous thromboembolism (VTE), a collective term for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), has been considered a separate disease from arterial cardiovascular diseases (CVD, i.e. myocardial infarction (MI) and ischemic stroke). However, recent studies have proposed an association between VTE and arterial CVD. The aim of the thesis was to investigate this association in a general ...

      Background - Postoperative endophthalmitis is a rare but dreaded complication of intraocular surgery and often results in severe visual impairment or blindness. The present study describes the clinical course, treatment and visual outcome of an outbreak of Burkholderia contaminans endophthalmitis following cataract surgery.<p> <p>Methods - Among 290 patients who underwent uneventful phacoemulsification ...

      Background: Recent studies have demonstrated an association between venous thromboembolism (VTE) and arterial thrombotic diseases. <p> Objectives: We aimed to study the association between incident myocardial infarction (MI) and VTE in a prospective population-based cohort. <p> Methods: Study participants (n=29 506) were recruited from three surveys of the Tromsø Study (conducted in 1994-95, 2001-02 ...
    • Impact of incident venous thromboembolism on risk of arterial thrombotic diseases 

      Lind, Caroline; Flinterman, Linda E.; Enga, Kristin; Severinsen, Marianne T; Kristensen, Søren R; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas; Mathiesen, Ellisiv B.; Njølstad, Inger; Cannegieter, Suzanne C.; Overvad, Kim; Hansen, John-Bjarne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-11-22)
      BACKGROUND: Growing evidence supports an association between venous thromboembolism (VTE) and arterial thrombotic diseases (ie, myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke). We aimed to study the association between VTE and future arterial events and to determine the population attributable risk of arterial events by VTE in a large prospective cohort recruited from the general population. METHODS AND ...
    • Impact of incident venous thromboembolism on risk of arterial thrombotic diseases 

      Lind, Caroline (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2015-10-26)
      Background: Growing evidence support an association between venous thromboembolism (VTE) and arterial thrombotic diseases (i.e. myocardial infarction (MI) and ischemic stroke). We aimed to study the association between VTE and future arterial events, and to determine the population attributable risk (PAR%) of arterial events by VTE in a large prospective cohort recruited from the general ...
