      Background: The need for cost effectiveness analyses in randomized controlled trials that compare treatment options is increasing. The selection of the optimal utility measure is important, and a central question is whether the two most commonly used indexes - the EuroQuol 5D (EQ5D) and the Short Form 6D (SF6D) – can be used interchangeably. The aim of the present study was to compare change ...

      Mortaliteten blant norske traumepasienter i perioden 2015–18 var på linje med de beste resultatene fra andre land, men fortsatt fant vi regionale forskjeller og forskjeller mellom sykehusnivåer. Selv om resultatene er bra, kan vi bli bedre. Traumer er den viktigste dødsårsaken for personer under 44 år på verdensbasis, også i vår del av verden. Mortalitet er et internasjonalt anerkjent effektmål ...
