Revisiting the radiographic assessment of osteoporosis-Osteopenia in children 0-2 years of age. A systematic review
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-02)<i>Background</i> - Imaging for osteoporosis has two major aims, first, to identify the presence of low bone mass (osteopenia), and second, to quantify bone mass using semiquantitative (conventional radiography) or quantitative (densitometry) methods. In young children, densitometry is hampered by the lack of reference values, and high-quality radiographs still play a role although the evaluation ... -

Qualitative Evaluations of mHealth Interventions: Current Gaps and Future Directions
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)Psycho-social factors are often addressed in behavioral health studies. While the purpose of many mHealth interventions is to facilitate behavior change, the focus is more prominently on the functionality and usability of the technology and less on the psycho-social factors that contribute to behavior change. Here we aim to identify the extent to which mHealth interventions for patient self- management ... -
