      Jørgensen, Camilla Tøvik; Tavoly, Mazdak; Førsund, Elise; Pettersen, Heidi Hassel; Tjønnfjord, Eirik; Ghanima, Waleed; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-30)
      Background - Isolated distal deep vein thrombosis (IDDVT) is a common presentation of deep vein thrombosis. There are limited data on the long-term risk of recurrence after IDDVT.<p> <p>Objectives - We aimed to determine the short- and long-term incidence of venous thrombosis (VTE) recurrence after cessation of anticoagulation and the 3-month incidence of bleeding during anticoagulant treatment ...
    • Incidence of venous thromboembolism, recurrence, and bleeding after isolated superficial vein thrombosis: findings from the Venous Thrombosis Registry in Østfold Hospital 

      Jørgensen, Camilla Tøvik; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas; Førsund, Eli; Pettersen, Heidi Hassel; Tjønnfjord, Eirik; Ghanima, Waleed; Tavoly, Mazdak (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-31)
      Background - There are limited data on the long-term risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after high-risk isolated superficial vein thrombosis (iSVT) treated with anticoagulants.<p> <p>Objectives - To determine the short- and long-term risk of VTE and iSVT recurrence after cessation of anticoagulant treatment and to calculate 45-day cumulative bleeding incidence in patients with iSVT.<p> <p>Methods ...
    • Low D-dimer levels at diagnosis of venous thromboembolism are associated with reduced risk of recurrence: data from the TROLL registry 

      Rinde, Fridtjof Balteskard; Jørgensen, Camilla Tøvik; Pettersen, Heidi Hassel; Hansen, John Bjarne; Ghanima, Waleed; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-31)
      Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a frequent disease with a high risk of recurrence. It has been suggested that the D-dimer level at the time of VTE diagnosis can be used to identify patients at a low risk of recurrence. Objectives: We aimed to investigate the impact of D-dimer levels measured at the time of VTE diagnosis on the risk of recurrence in a large cohort of patients with a ...
    • The venous thrombosis registry in Østfold Hospital (TROLL registry) - design and cohort description 

      Jørgensen, Camilla Tøvik; Tavoly, Mazdak; Pettersen, Heidi Hassel; Førsund, Eli; Roaldsnes, Christina; Olsen, Magnus Kringstad; Tjønnfjord, Eirik; Gleditsch, Jostein; Galovic, Aleksandra Grdinic; Vikum, Synne Frønæs; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas; Ghanima, Waleed (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-04)
      Purpose: The incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) is expected to increase over the next decades, further increasing its substantial impact on patients and health care resources. Registries have the benefit of reporting real-world data without excluding clinically important subgroups. Our aim was to describe a Norwegian VTE registry and to provide descriptive data on the population and ...
