• Benchmarking of aggregated length of stay after open and laparoscopic surgery for cancers of the digestive system 

      Lassen, Kristoffer; Nymo, Linn Såve; Olsen, Frank; Søreide, Kjetil (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-04-23)
      <i>Background</i>: Length of hospital stay (LOS) may serve as a surrogate measure of healthcare quality and resource use, particularly when transfers of care and readmissions are accounted for. This study aimed to benchmark true hospital stay by measuring index, transfer and readmission stays across the range of digestive cancer surgery.<p> <p><i>Methods</i>: A cohort study of all patients ...
    • Centralizing a national pancreatoduodenectomy service: striking the right balance 

      Nymo, Linn Såve; Kleive, Dyre; Waardal, Kim; Bringeland, Erling Audun; Søreide, Jon Arne; Labori, Knut Jørgen; Mortensen, Kim Erlend; Søreide, Kjetil; Lassen, Kristoffer (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-07)
      <i>Background</i> - Centralization of pancreatic surgery is currently called for owing to superior outcomes in higher‐volume centres. Conversely, organizational and patient concerns speak for a moderation in centralization. Consensus on the optimal balance has not yet been reached. This observational study presents a volume–outcome analysis of a complete national cohort in a health system with ...
    • Effect of Perioperative Dexamethasone and Different NSAIDs on Anastomotic Leak Risk: A Propensity Score Analysis 

      Rushfeldt, Christian; Agledahl, Uwe; Sveinbjørnsson, Baldur; Søreide, Kjetil; Wilsgaard, Tom (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-11)
      Background Perioperative use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is associated with risk of anastomotic leak (AL). However, concomitant use of other drugs could infer a bias in risk assessment. Thus, we aimed to interrogate the risk of AL associated with NSAIDs and steroids used perioperatively. Methods This study includes a consecutive series of patients having surgery involving ...
    • Global, regional, and national disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) for 315 diseases and injuries and healthy life expectancy (HALE), 1990-2015: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015 

      Kassebaum, Nicholas J.; Arora, Megha; Barber, Ryan M.; Bjertness, Espen; Hailu, Alemayehu; Knudsen, Ann Kristin; Norheim, Ole Frithjof; Skogen, Jens Christoffer; Savic, Miloje; Skirbekk, Vegard; Steiner, Timothy J.; Stovner, Lars Jacob; Søreide, Kjetil; Vollset, Stein Emil; Weiderpass, Elisabete (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-10-06)
      Background:<br> Healthy life expectancy (HALE) and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) provide summary measures of health across geographies and time that can inform assessments of epidemiological patterns and health system performance, help to prioritise investments in research and development, and monitor progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We aimed to provide updated ...
    • Global, regional, and national incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability for 310 diseases and injuries, 1990-2015: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015

      Background:<br>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 aff ecting children, to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) more common in adults. For the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2015 (GBD 2015), ...
    • Global, regional, and national life expectancy, all-cause mortality, and cause-specific mortality for 249 causes of death, 1980-2015: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015 

      Wang, Haidong; Naghavi, Mohsen; Allen, Christine; Vollset, Stein Emil; Knudsen, Ann Kristin; Hailu, Alemayehu; Norheim, Ole Frithjof; Bjertness, Espen; Htet, Aung Soe; Søreide, Kjetil; Weiderpass, Elisabete; White, Richard; Krog, Norun Hjertager (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-10-08)
      Background:<br> 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 ...

      Background and objective: Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a rare malignancy in the Nordic countries and no common Nordic treatment guidelines exist. This study aimed to characterize the current diagnostic and treatment strategies in the Nordic countries and disclose differences in these strategies. Methods: This was a survey study with a cross-sectional questionnaire of all 19 university hospitals ...
    • Simultaneous Resection of Primary Colorectal Cancer and Synchronous Liver Metastases: Contemporary Practice, Evidence and Knowledge Gaps 

      Kleive, Dyre; Aas, Eline; Bringeland, Erling Audun; Nesbakken, Arild; Nymo, Linn Såve; Schultz, Johannes Kurt; Søreide, Kjetil; Yaqub, Sheraz (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-23)
      The timing of surgical resection of synchronous liver metastases from colorectal cancer has been debated for decades. Several strategies have been proposed, but high-level evidence remains scarce. Simultaneous resection of the primary tumour and liver metastases has been described in numerous retrospective audits and meta-analyses. The potential benefits of simultaneous resections are the eradication ...
    • Variation in use of open and laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy and associated outcome metrics in a universal health care system 

      Søreide, Kjetil; Nymo, Linn Såve; Kleive, Dyre; Olsen, Frank; Lassen, Kristoffer (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-08-01)
      <i>Background</i> - Universal health care (UHC) should ensure equal access to and use of surgery, but few studies have explored variation in UHC systems. The objective was to describe practice of distal pancreatectomy in Norway covered exclusively by an UHC.<p><p> <i>Methods</i> - Data on all patients undergoing distal pancreatectomy from the Norwegian Patient Register over a 5-year period. ...
