    • Bone Turnover and Metabolism in Patients with Early Multiple Sclerosis and Prevalent Bone Mass Deficit: A Population-Based Case-Control Study 

      Moen, Stine Marit; Celius, Elisabeth Gulowsen; Sandvik, Leiv; Brustad, Magritt; Nordsletten, Lars; Eriksen, Erik Fink; Holmøy, Trygve (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      Low bone mass is prevalent in ambulatory multiple sclerosis (MS) patients even shortly after clinical onset. The mechanism is not known, but could involve shared etiological risk factors between MS and low bone mass such as hypovitaminosis D operating before disease onset, or increased bone loss after disease onset. The aim of this study was to explore the mechanism of the low bone mass in early-stage ...

    • Change in pain, disability and influence of fear-avoidance in a work-focused intervention on neck and back pain: a randomized controlled trial 

      Marchand, Gunn Hege; Myhre, Kjersti; Leivseth, Gunnar; Sandvik, Leiv; Lau, Bjørn; Bautz-Holter, Erik; Røe, Cecilie (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-04-21)

The secondary aim was to study incidence of obstetric anal sphincter injuries in subgroups defined by risk factors for OASIS. Design Population-based ...

    • Low level of MAp44, an inhibitor of the lectin complement pathway, and long-term graft and patient survival; a cohort study of 382 kidney recipients 

      Smedbråten, Julia; Mjøen, Geir; Hartmann, Anders; Åsberg, Anders; Rollag, Halvor; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Sandvik, Leiv; Fagerland, Morten W.; Thiel, Steffen; Sagedal, Solbjørg (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-10-18)
