      <p><b> Background</b> Geographical differences in health outcomes are reported in many countries. Norway has led an active policy aiming for regional balance since the 1970s. Using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) 2019, we examined regional differences in development and current state of health across Norwegian counties. <p><b>Methods</b> Data for life expectancy, healthy ...

    • Garbage codes in the Norwegian Cause of Death Registry 1996-2019 

      Ellingsen, Christian Lycke; Alfsen, Glenny Cecilie; Ebbing, Marta; Pedersen, Anne Gro; Sulo, Gerhard; Vollset, Stein Emil; Braut, Geir Sverre (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-07)
      Background: Reliable statistics on the underlying cause of death are essential for monitoring the health in a population. When there is insufcient information to identify the true underlying cause of death, the death will be classifed using less informative codes, garbage codes. If many deaths are assigned a garbage code, the information value of the cause-of-death statistics is reduced. The aim ...
    • Global, regional, and national disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) for 359 diseases and injuries and healthy life expectancy (HALE) for 195 countries and territories, 1990–2017: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-08)
      <p><i>Background - </i>How long one lives, how many years of life are spent in good and poor health, and how the population's state of health and leading causes of disability change over time all have implications for policy, planning, and provision of services. We comparatively assessed the patterns and trends of healthy life expectancy (HALE), which quantifies the number of years of life expected ...

      <i>Background</i> - The Nordic countries have commonalities in gender equality, economy, welfare, and health care, but differ in culture and lifestyle, which might create country-wise health differences. This study compared life expectancy, disease burden, and risk factors in the Nordic region.<p> <p><i>Methods</i> - Life expectancy in years and age-standardised rates of overall, cause-specific, ...
