Short Term Survival after Admission for Heart Failure in Sweden: Applying Multilevel Analyses of Discriminatory Accuracy to Evaluate Institutional Performance.

Hospital performance is frequently evaluated by analyzing differences between hospital averages in some quality indicators. The results are often expressed as quality charts of hospital variance (e.g., league tables, funnel plots). However, those analyses seldom consider patients heterogeneity around averages, which is of fundamental relevance for a correct evaluation. Therefore, we apply an innov

Cancer risk in amyloidosis patients in Sweden with novel findings on non-Hodgkin lymphoma and skin cancer

Background: Systemic amyloidosis (SSA) is a common form of amyloidosis but it remains often unnoticed because of the slow progression in old patients. The cause for SSA is the accumulation of wild-type transthyretin amyloids in critical tissues. We provide here data showing that SSA may be associated with old-age non-Hodgkin lymphoma.Systemic amyloidoses include immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amy

The impact of urban design decisions on net zero energy solar buildings in Sweden

Planning for future energy-efficient and energy-producing buildings requires specific knowledge during the design process. Many design decisions taken by urban planners –form, density, roof type and orientation – have a significant effect on the conditions of such buildings, although urban planners might not always be aware of the effect of their design. This study examines the effects of importan
