Endocrine-related factors and risk of venous thromboembolism
Lerstad, Gunhild (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2017-05-31)Even though many environmental and inherited predisposing factors have been associated with venous thromboembolism (VTE), still 30–50% of the events have no obvious provoking factors. There is limited knowledge concerning the association between endocrine-related factors and VTE risk. Therefore we aimed to investigate the relation between hyperglycemia, thyroid function, vitamin D, calcium, ... -
Hyperglycemia, Assessed by HbA1c, and Future Risk of Venous Thromboembolism - The Tromsø Study
Lerstad, Gunhild; Brodin, Ellen Elisabeth; Enga, Kristin; Jorde, Rolf; Schirmer, Henrik; Njølstad, Inger; Svartberg, Johan; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas; Hansen, John-Bjarne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-03-05)Background: Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), a marker of average plasma glucose during the last 8-12 weeks, is associated with future risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality. Objectives: To examine the association between hyperglycemia, assessed by HbA1c, and future risk of VTE in a population based cohort. Methods: HbA1c was measured in 16 156 unique subjects (25-87 years) ... -

Thyroid function, as assessed by TSH, and future risk of venous thromboembolism: The Tromsø study
Lerstad, Gunhild; Enga, Kristin Fjeldstad; Jorde, Rolf; Brodin, Ellen Elisabeth; Svartberg, Johan; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas; Hansen, John-Bjarne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-04-21)Objective: The relationship between thyroid function and the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) has not been addressed in population-based cohorts. We investigated the association between TSH levels and the risk of VTE in a general adult population. Design: Population-based cohort study. Methods: TSH was measured in 11 962 subjects aged 25–89 years who participated in Tromsø 4–6 starting in ...
