Ett särskilt aktuellt register dessa dagar är Svenska Intensivvårdsregistret, SIR, som dagligen rapporterar om antalet inlagda patienter med covid-19 på svenska intensivvårdsavdelningar. Representanter från SIR har arbetat intensivt tillsammans med Vetenskapsrådet för att dokumentera registrets innehåll i RUT och på så sätt göra det mer tillgängligt för forskning. Läs mer här.

Temporally and spatially highly resolved information on population characteristics, including demographic profile (e.g. age and sex), ethnicity and socio-economic status (e.g. income, occupation, education), are essential for observational health studies at the small-area level. Time-relevant population data are critical as denominators for health statistics, analytics and epidemiology, to calcula

This paper studies the effects of improvements in infant health produced by the introduction of sulphapyridine in the late-1930s as treatment against pneumonia on outcomes in adulthood. Based on longitudinal individual data for the whole population of Sweden 1968–2012 and archival data on the availability of sulphapyridine and applying a difference-in-differences approach, it finds that mitigation

Effective stewardship of data is a critical precursor to making data FAIR. The goal of this paper is to bring an overview of current state of the art of data management and data stewardship planning solutions (DMP). We begin by arguing why data management is an important vehicle supporting adoption and implementation of the FAIR principles, we describe the background, context and historical develo

Food patterns were extracted using principal component analysis in 1726 individuals (aged 18–71 y, 55% women, mean BMI = 25.5 kg/m2) without diabetes from the population-based Malmö Offspring Study. The gut (fecal) microbiota was analyzed by sequencing the 16S ribosomal RNA gene (V1–V3 region). Prediabetes classification was based on fasting glucose ≥6.0 mmol/L and/or glycated hemoglobin ≥42 mmol/

In this era of ‘big data’, there is growing recognition of the value of environmental, health, social and demographic data for research. Open government data initiatives are growing in number and in terms of content. Remote sensing data are finding widespread use in environmental research, including in low- and middle-income settings. While our ability to study environment and health associations

There is a growing recognition of significant, unmet palliative care needs in nursing facilities, yet limitations in the workforce limit access to palliative care services. Attention to palliation is particularly important when there are efforts to reduce hospitalizations to help ensure there are no unintended harms associated with treating residents in place.

Early onset preeclampsia (EOP) and late onset preeclampsia (LOP) have been differentiated with a cut‐point of ≤34 weeks. This classical definition has never been examined with respect to maternal characteristics by different gestational age cut‐points. We examined maternal characteristics in a population‐based cohort of 1736 preeclamptic deliveries at different gestational age cut‐points from 30 t

The incidence of cirrhosis for individuals in Sweden has previously been reported as stable/low among European countries. However, Swedish population-based studies are scarce and none of them included data from the most recent decade (2010–2019). We aimed to describe the incidence and aetiology of cirrhosis in the Halland region from 2011 to 2018, and to describe the severity and prevalence of liv

Cancer registry system has been playing important roles in research and policy making in cancer control. In general, information on cause of death is not available in cancer registry data. To make inference on survival of cancer patients in the absence of cause of death information, the relative survival ratio is widely used in the population‐based cancer research utilizing external life tables fo

Baseline lung function was assessed in 20,700 men and 7325 women from 1974 to 1992. Mean age was 43.4 (±6.6) and 47.5 (±7.9) for men and women respectively. Sex-specific quartiles of FEV1 and FVC (L) were created (Q4: highest, reference) and the cohort was also divided by the FEV1/FVC ratio (≥ or < 0.70). Cox proportional hazards regression was used to determine the risk of incident CKD events (in
