      Vold, Monica Linea; Aasebø, Ulf; Melbye, Hasse (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)

    • Low oxygen saturation and mortality in an adult cohort; the Tromsø Study 

      Vold, Monica Linea; Aasebø, Ulf; Wilsgaard, Tom; Melbye, Hasse (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-12)
      Background: Oxygen saturation has been shown in risk score models to predict mortality in emergency medicine. The aim of this study was to determine whether low oxygen saturation measured by a single-point measurement by pulse oximetry (SpO2) is associated with increased mortality in the general adult population. <p>Methods: Pulse oximetry was performed in 5,152 participants in a cross-sectional ...

    • A new diagnosis of asthma or COPD is linked to smoking cessation - The Tromsø study 

      Danielsen, Signe Elise; Løchen, Maja-Lisa; Medbø, Astri; Vold, Monica Linea; Melbye, Hasse (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-06-30)
      Background: Patients with COPD have had a lower tendency to quit smoking compared to patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). We wanted to investigate if this is still true in a Norwegian population. Methods: Our data came from the fifth and sixth Tromsø surveys, which took place in 2001–2002 and 2007–2008. The predictors of smoking cessation were evaluated in a cohort of 4,497 participants who ...

    • Pulse oximetry in an adult population: Predictors of low oxygen saturation and associations with mortality; The Tromsø Study 

      Vold, Monica Linea (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2015-03-19)
      Pulsoksymetri er en enkel undersøkelsesmetode for å beregne metningen av oksygen (O2) i arterielt blod (SpO2). Lave verdier kan være indikasjon på hjerte- og/eller lungesykdom. Ingen befolkningsundersøkelser har tidligere sett på oksygenmetning i en voksen befolkning. Avhandlingen er basert på de to befolkningsundersøkelsene, Tromsø 5 (2001/2002) og Tromsø 6 (2007/2008). I disse ble det gjort ...
