      Background Information on cause of death may help appraise the degree to which the high excess mortality after hip fracture refects pre-existing comorbidities or the injury itself. We aimed to describe causes of death and causespecifc excess mortality through the frst year after hip fracture.<p> <p>Methods For studying the distribution of causes of death by time after hip fracture, we calculated ...
    • Forearm fractures–are we counting them all? An attempt to identify and include the missing fractures treated in primary care 

      Dahl, Cecilie; Ohm, Eyvind; Solbakken, Siri Marie; Anwar, Nudrat; Holvik, Kristin; Madsen, Christian; Frihagen, Frede; Bjørnerem, Åshild Marit; Nissen, Frida Igland; Solberg, Lene Bergendal; Omsland, Tone Kristin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023-07-07)
      Objective: Norway has a high incidence of forearm fractures, however, the incidence rates based on secondary care registers can be underestimated, as some fractures are treated exclusively in primary care. We estimated the proportion of forearm fracture diagnoses registered exclusively in primary care and assessed the agreement between diagnosis for forearm fractures in primary and secondary care. ...
    • Urban–Rural Differences in Hip Fracture Mortality: A Nationwide NOREPOS Study 

      Solbakken, Siri Marie; Magnus, Jeanette H.; Meyer, Haakon E; Dahl, Cecilie; Stigum, Hein; Søgaard, Anne-Johanne; Holvik, Kristin; Tell, Grethe S.; Emaus, Nina; Forsmo, Siri; Gjesdal, Clara Gram; Schei, Berit; Vestergaard, Peter; Omsland, Tone Kristin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-09)
      Higher hip fracture incidence in urban than in rural areas has been demonstrated, but urban–rural differences in posthip fracture mortality have been less investigated, and the results are disparate. Hence, the aims of the present register‐based cohort study were to examine possible urban–rural differences in short‐ and long‐term mortality in Norwegian hip fracture patients and their potential ...
