Popular Abstract in Swedish Djupa infektioner i brösthålan (mediastinit) efter hjärtkirurgi är en allvarlig komplikation som kan ha dödlig utgång. Komplikationen är relativt ovanlig (1-3 % av hjärtopererade patienter), men de som drabbas av denna allvarliga infektion har en hög dödlighet (cirka 10-30 %). Det finns för närvarande inte någon enskild standardterapi för denna komplikation utan iställeThe aim of this research was to clinically and experimentally evaluate the use of vacuum-assisted closure in poststernotomy mediastinitis after cardiac surgery. Vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) is a new wound-healing therapy based on the application of a local negative pressure to the wound. New techniques for treating poststernotomy mediastinitis are needed since conventional techniques have an unsa

Objective. To study degree of blood pressure (BP) control in primary healthcare (PHC) treated hypertensive patients in relation to sex, age, drug treatment, and concomitant diseases. Design. Random sample of patients with hypertension. Setting. Ten PHC centres in the Region of Skane, Sweden. Subjects. All the 30- to 95-year-old patients with hypertension who during the period 12 September to 24 Se

Introduction: While it is recognized that there are costs associated with postoperative patient follow-up, risk assessments of catastrophic health expenditures (CHEs) due to surgery in sub-Saharan Africa rarely include expenses after discharge. We describe patient-level costs for cesarean section (c-section) and follow-up care up to postoperative day (POD) 30 and evaluate the contribution of follo

Introduction: Strengthening Primary Health Care (PHC) is essential for building resilient and equitable health systems, but PHC faces barriers in implementation, resource allocation, and political prioritisation. This study aimed to develop a strategic roadmap to enhance PHC by identifying core values, priorities, and actionable strategies through expert consensus. Methods: A two-round Delphi stud

Personer med upprepat självskadebeteende är inte sällan föremål för psykiatrisk tvångsvård. Tvångsvården motiveras vanligen med att personen löper risk att allvarligt skada sig själv, och därför har ett oundgängligt behov av psykiatrisk heldygnsvård. Det finns emellertid inget tydligt vetenskapligt stöd för att sådan vård effektivt förhindrar självskadehandlingar i dessa fall. Medicinska studier p

The Covid-19 pandemic has revealed the importance of social protection systems, including income security, when health problems arise. The aims of this study are to compare the follow-up regimes for sick-listed employees across nine European countries, and to conduct a qualitative assessment of the differences with respect to burden and responsibility sharing between the social protection system,

Background Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an increasingly important treatment option for patients with severe aortic stenosis. Its best implementation is debated, as few centres with high volumes are associated with better outcomes, while centralization might lead to an inferior availability of treatment for patients living far away. The aim of this study was to investigate the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bostäder och service svarar för hela 36 procent av Sveriges totala energianvändning, av detta står bostäder och lokaler för ungefär 86 procent. Den svenska riksdagen har antaget EU: s klimat-och energipolitiska mål som skall nås till 2020, som kallas "20-20-20"-målen. EU:s 20-20-20-mål innebär att vi ska minska klimat¬påverkan med 20 procent, uppnå 20 procent förnybar eUsing energy at low-quality levels opens up new possibilities for low-energy houses. Low-quality energy can be heat at a temperature that is close to that of its surrounding, and can be used, for example, to pre-heat ventilation air or domestic hot water. Pre-heating the incoming outdoor air reduces the need to heat ventilation and reduces the need for high-quality energy such as electricity or he

Dementia is the most common cause of functional decline among elderly people and is associated with high costs of national healthcare in European countries. With increasing functional and cognitive decline, it is likely that many people suffering from dementia will receive institutional care in their lifetime. To delay entry to institutional care, many European countries invest in home and communi

Background: Improvement in the surgical system requires intersectoral coordination. To achieve this, the development of National Surgical, Obstetric, and Anaesthesia Plans (NSOAPS) has been recommended. One of the first steps of NSOAP development is situational analysis. On the ground situational analyses can be resource intensive and often duplicative. In 2016, the Ministry of Health of Tanzania

BACKGROUND: Medical engagement is a mutual concept of the active and positive contribution of doctors to maintaining and enhancing the performance of their health care organization, which itself recognizes this commitment in supporting and encouraging high quality care. A Medical Engagement Scale (MES) was developed by Applied Research Ltd (2008) on the basis of emerging evidence that medical enga

METHODS: Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data 2010-2014 from the Swedish national dementia registry (SveDem) and the Swedish national stroke registry (Riksstroke). Patients with dementia who suffered an acute ischemic stroke (AIS) (n = 1,356) were compared with matched non-dementia AIS patients (n = 6,755). Outcomes included length of stay in a stroke unit, total length of hospit

While accessible housing is known as important to promote healthy ageing, the societal issue of providing accessible housing for the ageing population bears the characteristics of a “wicked problem”. The aim of this study was to gain a better understanding of crucial variables for decision-making about the provision of accessible housing for the ageing population in Sweden. Materials used for a de

Background: This study aimed to explore associations between various elements of primary care, patient satisfaction, and loyalty. Methods: This cross-sectional study used a modified version of the Primary Care Assessment Tool (PCAT), which was adapted for Japan. We distributed the PCAT questionnaire to patients aged 20 years or older at five rural primary care centres in Japan. We confirmed the va

Background: Forensic psychiatric care treats mentally disordered offenders who suffer mainly from psychotic disorders, although comorbidities such as personality disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders, and substance abuse are common. A large proportion of these patients have committed violent crimes. Their care is involuntary, and their caregivers' mission is complex: not only to rehabilitate the

BackgroundA specific eHealth device, a surf tablet, was developed for bridging between advanced in-hospital care and children’s homes. Since little is known about determinators for parental eHealth usage, the study’s aim was to explore if parents’ usage of the device was associated with their eHealth literacy, or their satisfaction with their child’s healthcare or with the specific surf tablet.Met

Trots att ytan av formellt skyddade områden ökar så minskar den biologiska mångfalden i Sverige. För att naturvården i Sverige ska bli effektivare krävs det ökad kunskap om varför områdesskyddet inte räcker till för att bevara den biologiska mångfalden. En effektiv naturvård kräver kunskap om vilken effekt områdesskydd har på den biologiska mångfalden. Eftersom biologisk mångfald påverkas av ekolo

Aims: It is increasingly recognized that tools are required for assessing and benchmarking quality of care in order to improve it. The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) is developing a suite of quality indicators (QIs) to evaluate cardiovascular care and support the delivery of evidence-based care. This paper describes the methodology used for their development. Methods and results: We propose
