      Objective - Patients with incurable cancer should receive general palliative care according to their needs, as provided through collaboration between hospital departments, municipalities, and general practices and as outlined in national guidelines. However, the implementation of general palliative care in Denmark has been inadequate. This study aimed to investigate the healthcare professionals' ...
    • Data as symptom: Doctors’ responses to patient-provided data in general practice 

      Haase, Christoffer Bjerre; Ajjawi, Rola; Bearman, Margaret; Brodersen, John; Risør, Torsten; Hoeyer, Klaus (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-25)
      People are increasingly able to generate their own health data through new technologies such as wearables and online symptom checkers. However, generating data is one thing, interpreting them another. General practitioners (GPs) are likely to be the first to help with interpretations. Policymakers in the European Union are investing heavily in infrastructures to provide GPs access to patient ...
    • Data driven or data informed? How general practitioners use data to evaluate their own and colleagues’ clinical work in clusters 

      Haase, Christoffer Bjerre; Bearman, Margaret; Brodersen, John; Risør, Torsten; Hoeyer, Klaus (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-29)
      In contemporary policy discourses, data are presented as key assets for improving health-care quality: policymakers want health care to become ‘data driven’. In this article, we focus on a particular example of this ambition, namely a new Danish national quality development program for general practitioners (GPs) where doctors are placed in so-called ‘clusters’. In these clusters, GPs are obliged ...
    • Klimaaftryk af overdiagnostik 

      Jønsson, Alexandra Brandt Ryborg; Brodersen, John (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-13)
      Det antages, at sundhedssektoren står for 4-5% af udledningen af drivhusgasser på verdensplan [1]. En del af klimaaftrykket kan mindskes politisk ved at gøre elektricitet og andre forsyninger mere bæredygtige. Ligeledes kan der med god og billig offentlig transport og høje benzin- og parkeringsafgifter mindskes, at ansatte, patienter og pårørende tager bilen. Organisatorisk kan vi f.eks. mindske ...
    • The long-term psychosocial consequences of screen-detected ductal carcinoma in situ and invasive breast cancer 

      Gram, Emma Grundtvig; Manso, Túlia Filipa Roberto; Heleno, Bruno; Siersma, Volkert; á Rogvi, Jessica; Brodersen, John (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-07)
      Objective - Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a risk factor for invasive breast cancer (IBC). The prognosis of DCIS is considerably better than for IBC, yet women do not distinguish between the threat. We aimed to compare the psychosocial consequences of screen-detected DCIS and IBC, and to examine this comparison over time.<p> <p>Methods - We surveyed a Danish mammography-screening cohort from ...
    • Lost in digitization – A systematic review about the diagnostic test accuracy of digital pathology solutions 

      Kusta, Olsi; Rift, Charlotte Vestrup; Risør, Torsten; Santoni-Rugiu, Eric; Brodersen, John (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-06)
      Introduction Digital pathology solutions are increasingly implemented for primary diagnostics in departments of pathology around the world. This has sparked a growing engagement on validation studies to evaluate the diagnostic performance of whole slide imaging (WSI) regarding safety, reliability, and accuracy. The aim of this review was to evaluate the performance of digital pathology for diagnostic ...

    • 'You should see a doctor', said the robot: Reflections on a digital diagnostic device in a pandemic age 

      Haase, Christoffer Bjerre; Bearman, Margaret; Brodersen, John; Hoeyer, Klaus; Risør, Torsten (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-18)
      Aims: In three days at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Copenhagen Emergency Medical Services developed a digital diagnostic device. The purpose was to assess and triage potential COVID-19 symptoms and to reduce the number of calls to public health-care helplines. The device was used almost 150,000 times in a few weeks and was described by politicians and administrators as a solution and ...
