The system aims to support researchers who receive or have received project funding from the Swedish Research Council (VR), or from other funders that demand the establishing of a DMP. A DMP is a document that provides a framework for how the research material is collected, handled, organized, stored and made available during the research process and how it should be preserved.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disabilities. Yet, most individuals with CP are adults. How individuals with CP fare in terms of health, quality of life (QoL), education, employment and income is largely unknown.

n recent years, there have been significant changes in the perception of valvular and vascular allograft transplants. Despite the constant evolution of the field of transplant and the involvement of multiple surgical specialties, there is not an official registry for administrative and clinical control. This study aims to design a registry of vascular and valvular allograft transplantation in Cata
In line with Lund University's switch to distance education, the weekly LUPOP/SND drop-in will be moved to Zoom. The LUPOP/SND drop-in at Tornblad each Monday at 9-12 will be cancelled as long as the policy of Lund University is that all education should be provided online and not on campus. Instead, representative(s) of LUPOP and/or SND will be available for Zoom meetings. To set up an appointmen

Record linkage is increasingly used in health research worldwide. Combining the patient information available in healthcare, administrative and clinical databases broadens the research perspectives, particularly for chronic diseases. Recent guidelines highlight the need for transparency on the used record linkage processes and the extracted data to be used by researchers. New publication in BMC Ne
Online gambling has increased in recent years, including online casino games and live sports betting which constitute rapid gambling activities with significant potential for gambling-related harm. There is a paucity of research examining whether specific gambling patterns are related to problem gambling and over-indebtedness, when controlling for psychological distress, gender, and other risk fac

Vetenskapsrådet och SUHF har tagit fram ett inriktningsförslag för en ny myndighet för svensk e-infrastruktur för forskning. Förslaget påverkar framtidens organisering av bland andra SNIC, SND och Sunet. Monica Lassi vid Lunds universitet är en av dem som varit med och tagit fram förslaget, och svarar gärna på frågor om den del av processen som hon var involverad i. Maila lupop@ed.lu.se för inform

Agricultural pesticides are extensively used for weed- and pest control, resulting in residues of these compounds in food. The general population is mainly exposed through dietary intake. Exposure to certain pesticides has been associated with adverse human health outcomes. Our aim was to assess urinary concentrations and temporal trends in the biomarkers of commonly used pesticides. Samples were

Mental health problems and hazardous alcohol consumption often co- exist. Hazardous drinking could have a negative impact on different aspects of health and also negatively influence the effect of mental health treatment. The aims of this study were to examine if alcohol consumption patterns changed after treatment for depression and if the changes differed by treatment arm and patient sex. New pu
The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a prediction model to identify older adults at risk for potentially avoidable hospitalizations (PAHs) using variables readily available in routinely collected health administrative data.

While a dose-response relationship between physical activity and risk of diabetes has been demonstrated, few studies have assessed the relative importance of different measures of physical activity on diabetes risk. The aim was to examine the association between different self-reported measures of physical activity and risk of type 2 diabetes in a prospective cohort study. New publication in BMC P
The Diabetes Incidence in Kronoberg (DIK) study of adult-onset diabetes used serological classification. Standard Mortality Rates (SMR) and Years of Life Lost (YLL) 15 years after adult-onset (18–100 years) of diabetes were compared to the population of Kronoberg.

The Swiss ICU-Registry from all 77 certified adult Swiss ICUs (2014 and 2015) was subjected to quality assessment (completeness/accuracy). For the analysis of accuracy, a list of logical rules and cross-checks was developed. Type and number of errors (true coding errors or implausible data) were calculated for each ICU, along with noticeable error rates (>mean + 3 SD in the variable’s summary meas

In this time of the COVID-19 pandemic, epidemiological research is more relevant than ever. At the same time, many scientist with a clinical background are needed in the health care system. At LUPOP, we are therefore initiating a "match making" service, connecting on one hand those who are risking missing on research deadlines due to working with corona patients and on the other non-clinicians who
