Incipient changes in ICU patients’ clinical conditions – signs, nurses’ assessment and the dialogue between nurses and physicians
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2017-06-09)Providing safe care for patients in intensive care units (ICUs) requires both awareness and perception of the signs indicating changes in a patient’s condition at an early stage. In addition, ensuring high-quality health care and patient safety in the ICU requires an effective exchange of patient information among health professionals. The overall aims of this study were to explore the phenomenon ... -
Including measures of chronic kidney disease to improve cardiovascular risk prediction by SCORE2 and SCORE2-OP
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-16)Aims - The 2021 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guideline on cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention categorizes moderate and severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) as high and very-high CVD risk status regardless of other factors like age and does not include estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albuminuria in its algorithms, systemic coronary risk estimation 2 (SCORE2) and systemic ... -
Incorporating kidney disease measures into cardiovascular risk prediction: Development and validation in 9 million adults from 72 datasets
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-04)Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) measures (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] and albuminuria) are frequently assessed in clinical practice and improve the prediction of incident cardiovascular disease (CVD), yet most major clinical guidelines do not have a standardized approach for incorporating these measures into CVD risk prediction. “CKD Patch” is a validated method to calibrate ... -

Increased expression of individual genes in whole blood is associated with late-stage lung cancer at and close to diagnosis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-25)Lung cancer (LC) mortality rates are still increasing globally. As survival is linked to stage, there is a need to identify markers for earlier LC diagnosis and individualized treatment. The whole blood transcriptome of LC patients represents a source of potential LC biomarkers. We compared expression of > 60,000 genes in whole blood specimens taken from LC cases at diagnosis (n = 128) and controls ... -
