    • Peer reviewing: a private affair between the individual researcher and the publishing houses, or a responsibility of the university? 

      Longva, Leif; Reierth, Eirik; Moksness, Lars; Smedsrød, Bård (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Peer reviewing is mandatory for scientific journals as quality control of submitted manuscripts, for universities to rank applicants for scientific positions, and for funding agencies to rank grant applications. In spite of this deep dependency of peer reviewing throughout the entire academic realm, universities exhibit a peculiar lack of interest in this activity. The aim of this article is to show ...

    • ST waveform analysis vs. cardiotocography alone for intrapartum fetal monitoring: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized trials 

      Blix, Ellen; Brurberg, Kjetil Gundro; Reierth, Eirik; Reinar, Liv Merete; Øian, Pål (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      Key message: ST waveform analysis is purposed to be better for labor surveillance than conventional CTG. We quantified the efficacy of these two methods, assessing quality of the scientific evidence with the GRADE tool, and determined that evidence is insufficient to justify the use of ST waveform analysis as intrapartum monitoring.

    • Templates for reporting pre-hospital major incident medical management : systematic literature review 

      Fattah, Sabina; Rehn, Marius; Reierth, Eirik; Wisborg, Torben (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      Introduction In 2010, a total of 385 natural disasters killed more than 297 000 people worldwide and affected over 217 million others. More standardised reporting of major incident management have been advocated in the previous years. Prevention, mitigation, preparedness and major incident response may be improved through collection and analysis of high-quality standardised data on medical management ...

      Jeppesen, Elisabeth; Iversen, Valdemar Vea; Hansen, Ingrid Schrøder; Reierth, Eirik; Wisborg, Torben (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-12)
      <i>Background</i> - Trauma is a major cause of mortality and reduced quality of life. Most trauma-related research originates from trauma centres, and there are limited available data regarding the treatment of trauma patients throughout the Nordic countries. These countries differ from economically similar countries due to their cold climate, mix of rural and urban areas, and the long distances ...
