Antibiotic-loaded bone cement in prevention of periprosthetic joint infections in primary total knee arthroplasty: A register-based multicentre randomised controlled non-inferiority trial (ALBA trial)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-28)<i>Introduction</i> - The current evidence on the efficacy of antibiotic-loaded bone cement (ALBC) in reducing the risk of periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) after primary joint reconstruction is insufficient. In several European countries, the use of ALBC is routine practice unlike in the USA where ALBC use is not approved in low-risk patients. Therefore, we designed a double-blinded pragmatic ... -
Cementing techniques for total knee arthroplasty in Norwegian hospitals; a questionnaire-based study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-18)Background - Cementing technique in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) may influence implant survival. There is limited knowledge about the results with clinically used techniques. The aim of this study was to investigate cementing techniques for TKA in Norwegian hospitals, to compare widely used techniques to recommendations from the literature, and to investigate variation within hospitals.<p> <p>Methods ... -
The Delta III and Delta Xtend reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Risk of revision and failure mechanisms: a report on 3,650 cases from the Norwegian Arthroplasty Register 1994-2021
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-15)Background - The Delta reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is commonly used worldwide and is the most frequently used RSA in Norway. The aim of this registry-based study was to report 10- and 20-year implant survival, risk of revision, and reasons for revision in 2 consecutive time periods for Delta III (1994-2010) and Delta Xtend (2007-2021) prostheses.<p> <p>Methods - We included 3650 primary ... -
Effect of a Fracture Liaison Service on the Rate of Subsequent Fracture Among Patients With a Fragility Fracture in the Norwegian Capture the Fracture Initiative (NoFRACT)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-07)<p><i>Importance</i>: Fragility fracture is a major health issue because of the accompanying morbidity, mortality, and financial cost. Despite the high cost to society and personal cost to affected individuals, secondary fracture prevention is suboptimal in Norway, mainly because most patients with osteoporotic fractures do not receive treatment with antiosteoporotic drugs after fracture ... -
Epidemiology of forearm fractures in women and men in Norway 2008–2019
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-12)Summary - The purpose of this paper is to describe rates of forearm fractures in adults in Norway 2008–2019. Incidence rate of distal forearm fractures declined over time in both sexes. Forearm fracture constitute a significant health burden and prevention strategies are needed.<p> <p>Purpose - To assess age- and sex-specific incidence rates, and time trends for forearm fractures in Norway, and ... -
Geographical variation in orthopedic procedures in Norway: Cross-sectional population-based study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-14)Background: Standardized surgery rates for common orthopedic procedures vary across geographical areas in Norway. We explored whether area-level factors related to demand and supply in publicly funded healthcare are associated with geographical variation in surgery rates for six common orthopedic procedures.<p> <p>Methods: The present study is a cross-sectional population-based study of hospital ... -
High prevalence of vertebral fractures and low trabecular bone score in patients with fragility fractures: A cross-sectional sub-study of NoFRACT
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-08)<p><i>Purpose - </i>Norway has among the highest incidence rates of fractures in the world. Vertebral fracture assessment (VFA) and trabecular bone score (TBS) provide information about fracture risk, but their importance have not been studied in Norwegian patients with fragility fractures. The objectives of this study were to examine the clinical characteristics of a cohort of women and men with ... -
Hip fracture treatment in Norway deviation from evidence-based treatment guidelines: data from the Norwegian Hip Fracture Register, 2014 to 2018
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-14)<i>Aims</i> - The aim of this study was to describe variation in hip fracture treatment in Norway expressed as adherence to international and national evidence-based treatment guidelines, to study factors influencing deviation from guidelines, and to analyze consequences of non-adherence.<p> <p><i>Methods</i> - International and national guidelines were identified and treatment recommendations ... -
Impact of total hip replacements on the incidence of hip fractures in Norway during 1999-2019. A NOREPOS study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-25)The knowledge about why hip fracture rates in Norway have declined is sparse. Concurrent with decreasing hip fracture rates, the rates of total hip replacements (THRs) have increased. We wanted to investigate if hip fracture rates continued to decline, and whether the increase in THRs had any influence on this decline, assuming that living with a hip prosthesis precludes fracture of the operated ... -
Modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors in hip fracture mortality in Norway, 2014 to 2018 - a linked multiregistry study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-01)<p><i>Aims</i> This study aimed to identify risk factors (patient, healthcare system, and socioeconomic) for mortality after hip fractures and estimate their relative importance. Further, we aimed to elucidate mortality and survival patterns following fractures and the duration of excess mortality. <p><i>Methods</i> Data on 37,394 hip fractures in the Norwegian Hip Fracture Register from January ... -
Patient-reported outcome measures in hip fracture patients data on 35,206 patients from the Norwegian Hip Fracture Register, 2014 to 2018
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-01)Aims - The aims of this study were to assess quality of life after hip fractures, to characterize respondents to patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), and to describe the recovery trajectory of hip fracture patients.<p> <p>Methods - Data on 35,206 hip fractures (2014 to 2018; 67.2% female) in the Norwegian Hip Fracture Register were linked to data from the Norwegian Patient Registry and ... -
Post-Fracture Risk Assessment: Target The Centrally Sited Fractures First! A Sub-Study of NoFRACT
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-16)The location of osteoporotic fragility fractures adds crucial information to post‐fracture risk estimation. Triaging patients according to fracture site for secondary fracture prevention can therefore be of interest to prioritize patients considering the high imminent fracture risk. The objectives of this cross‐sectional study were therefore to explore potential differences between central (vertebral, ... -
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 ... -
