Background: Drug therapy in primary care is a challenge for general practitioners (GPs) and the prescribing decision is influenced by several factors. GPs obtain drug information in different ways, from evidence-based sources, their own or others? experiences, or interactions with opinion makers, patients or colleagues. The need for objective drug information sources instead of drug industry-provi
Background: Hitherto, risk prediction models for preoperative ultrasound-based diagnosis of ovarian tumors were dichotomous (benign versus malignant). We develop and validate polytomous models (models that predict more than two events) to diagnose ovarian tumors as benign, borderline, primary invasive or metastatic invasive. The main focus is on how different types of models perform and compare. M
Popular Abstract in Swedish Graviditetsdiabetes (GDM) definieras som nedsatt glukostolerans av varierande svårighets¬grad som upptäcks under graviditet och som oftast försvinner efter förlossning. GDM innebär ökad risk för såväl moder som barn. Kvinnor med GDM föder ofta stora barn och har ökad risk för komplikationer i samband med förlossningen. GDM-prevalensen varierar avsevärt mellan olika popuGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a heterogeneous disorder that is defined as carbohydrate intolerance with onset or first recognition during pregnancy. Impaired beta-cell function and insulin resistance are the hallmarks of GDM. The overall aim of this thesis was to study the genetic and immunological risk factors that increase susceptibility to GDM. First, we investigated whether autoimmuni
BACKGROUND: Interactive behavior change technology (eg, computer programs, Internet websites, and mobile phones) may facilitate the implementation of lifestyle behavior interventions in routine primary health care. Effective, fully automated solutions not involving primary health care staff may offer low-cost support for behavior change. OBJECTIVES: We explored the effectiveness of an electronic
Objective. The aim of this study was to investigate how distance to hospital and socioeconomic status (SES) influence the use of secondary health care (SHC) when taking comorbidity into account. Design and setting. A register-based study in Ostergotland County. Subjects. The adult population of Ostergotland County. Main outcome measures. Odds of SHC use in the population and rates of SHC use by pa
Objective. To compare participants and non-participants early in the process of an audit on treatment of respiratory tract infections (RTIs) and to analyse any effect of the actual self-registration on the prescription of antibiotics in both groups. Design. All 80 general practitioners (GPs) at 14 health centres were invited to audit their use of antibiotics and 45 agreed to participate. There wer
Objective. To examine infectious symptoms on a daily basis in families with small children and how often these infections cause people to stay at home or seek healthcare. Design. A population-based prospective study. Setting. Child health clinics in seven municipalities in Sweden. Subjects and main outcome measures. All family members of 835 families who came with an 18-month-old child to a child
Objective: Primary care is the base in many health care systems, and to identify the most registered diagnoses in primary care is a way to identify the overall health care use and needs in society. We estimated the rates of the 30 most common diagnoses in primary health care and their male to female ratio. Research design and methods: This was a study including inhabitants 18 years and older out o
OBJECTIVES: Telehealth, the provision of healthcare through digital communication, has been proposed as a potential solution to meet the increasing demand for healthcare, particularly in the setting of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sweden has an established national telehealth service for triage and referral by phone (1177) since 2013 which has the potential to meet this increasing demand. However, littl
Medical, neurological, and substance use disorders constitute a major disease burden worldwide, but especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where more than 80% of affected persons are unable to receive evidence-supported treatments despite these being widely available in theory. This persistent mental health treatment gap in LMICs is traceable to the very nature of such nations: low
Objective The aim of this study was to explore why patients with hard-to-heal ulcers are treated without an aetiological diagnosis, using a grounded theory approach. Design The study employed a qualitative semistructured interview design to gain in-depth insights. Data were collected in 2024, and an explanatory model was formed in accordance with grounded theory analysis. Setting Interviews were c
Background: Rehabilitation after Knee Replacement (KR) surgery often entails an extensive rehabilitation in primary care but evidence-based high-quality guidelines are lacking. There is also a knowledge gap regarding current rehabilitation modalities applied in primary care in Sweden. This study aimed to (I) describe rehabilitation in primary care after KR and (II) explore phys-iotherapists’ perce
Background: People with intellectual disabilities experience significant health inequities. Digital interventions for health promotion are rarely designed from their specific needs. This study aimed to uncover core qualities of digital interventions for health promotion by exploring factors influencing health behaviours amongst people with intellectual disabilities. Methods: This study was conduct
Background: The potential of generative artificial intelligence (genAI) tools, such as ChatGPT, is being increasingly explored in healthcare settings. However, the same tools also introduce significant cybersecurity risks that could compromise patient safety, data integrity, and institutional trust. This study aimed to examine real-world security breaches involving genAI and extrapolate their pote
