Validating Biobehavioral Technologies for Use in Clinical Psychiatry
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-11)The last decade has witnessed the development of sophisticated biobehavioral and genetic, ambulatory, and other measures that promise unprecedented insight into psychiatric disorders. As yet, clinical sciences have struggled with implementing these objective measures and they have yet to move beyond “proof of concept.” In part, this struggle reflects a traditional, and conceptually flawed, application ... -

Validation of diagnostic utility of fasting plasma glucose and HbA1c in stable renal transplant recipients one year after transplantation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-01-10)<b>Background</b><br> The use of HbA1c ≥6.5% for diagnosis of diabetes has been challenged for post-transplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM) also known as new onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) due to a low sensitivity early after renal transplantation. PTDM diagnosed with an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is highly predictable for long-term patient mortality. HbA1c was introduced for ... -
Validation of eGFR for Detecting Associations Between Serum Protein Biomarkers and Subsequent GFR Decline
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08)Significance Statement - eGFR from creatinine, cystatin C, or both has been primarily used in search of biomarkers for GFR decline. Whether the relationships between biomarkers and eGFR decline are similar to associations with measured GFR (mGFR) decline has not been investigated. This study revealed that some biomarkers showed statistically significant different associations with eGFR decline ... -
Validation of forearm fracture diagnoses in administrative patient registers
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-24)Summary The validity of forearm fracture diagnoses recorded in fve Norwegian hospitals was investigated using image reports and medical records as gold standard. A relatively high completeness and correctness of the diagnoses was found. Algorithms used to defne forearm fractures in administrative data should depend on study purpose.<p> <p>Purpose In Norway, forearm fractures are routinely recorded ... -

Information about age, extracranial spread, number of brain ... -
Validation of the graded prognostic assessment for lung cancer with brain metastases using molecular markers(lung-molGPA)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-06-26)Background:<br>Many patients with brain metastases from non-small cell lung cancer have limited survival, while others survive for several years, depending on patterns of spread, EGFR and ALK alterations, among others. The purpose of this study was to validate a new prognostic model (Lung-molGPA) originally derived from a North American database.<br>Patients and methods:<br>This retrospective study ... -
Validation of the multiple sclerosis diagnosis in the Norwegian Patient Registry
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-04)<i>Background</i> - Health registries may yield important data for epidemiological studies. However, in order to be a valuable source for information, the registered data have to be correct.<p><p> <i>Objectives</i> - The aim of the study was to validate data from the Norwegian Patient Registry (NPR) regarding multiple sclerosis (MS).<p><p> <i>Materials and Methods</i> - We obtained data ... -
The value of dynamic infrared thermography in pedicled thoracodorsal artery perforator flap surgery
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-15)<p><i>Background:</i> Dynamic infrared thermography (DIRT) is a noninvasive imaging technique that can provide indirect and real-time information on skin perfusion by measuring skin temperature. Although used in flap surgery, there are no reports on its value in procedures using a pedicled thoracodorsal artery perforator (TDAP) flap. The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of DIRT in ... -
Variation in antibiotic consumption in very preterm infants-a 10 year population-based study

Vasopressin impairs brain, heart and kidney perfusion: an experimental study in pigs after transient myocardial ischemia
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008-02-21)Introduction: Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is increasingly used to restore mean arterial pressure (MAP) in low-pressure shock states unresponsive to conventional inotropes. This is potentially deleterious since AVP is also known to reduce cardiac output by increasing vascular resistance. The effects of AVP on blood flow to vital organs and cardiac performance in a circulation altered by cardiac ... -
