Country of birth, socioeconomic factors and risk factor control in patients with type 2 diabetes: A Swedish study from 25 primary health care centers.

BACKGROUND: Few large-scale studies have examined the association between sociodemographic factors and the probability of reaching the recommended levels of HbA1c and blood lipids in patients with type 2 diabetes. The aim was to investigate whether sociodemographic characteristics of type 2 diabetes patients affected the odds that they would reach recommended levels of blood lipids and HbA1c. METH

Age-time risk patterns of solid cancers in 60 901 non-Hodgkin lymphoma survivors from Finland, Norway and Sweden

Survival after non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) has increased thanks to improved treatment but NHL survivors have an increased risk of second neoplasms. The assessment of cancer risk patterns after NHL may help to quantify the late side-effects of therapy. Poisson regression was used to estimate relative risks (RRs) and absolute incidence rates for nine solid tumours based on a nationwide cohort of 60 9

Perinatal and Familial Risk Factors for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in a Swedish National Cohort

BACKGROUNDPerinatal factors including high birth weight have been found to be associated with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in case-control studies. However, to the best of our knowledge, these findings have seldom been examined in large population-based cohort studies, and the specific contributions of gestational age and fetal growth remain unknown. METHODSThe authors conducted a national c

Thrombus Aspiration in ST-Elevation myocardial infarction in Scandinavia (TASTE trial). A multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled clinical registry trial based on the Swedish angiography and angioplasty registry (SCAAR) platform. Study design and rationale

Background In ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), distal embolization of thrombus material often precludes restoration of normal coronary artery flow. Small-scaled studies have demonstrated that intracoronary thrombus aspiration improves flow and myocardial perfusion, but only one larger randomized single-center study has suggested a survival benefit. Thrombus aspiration is widely used in

Ideas and Norms in Swedish Peace Policy

Challenging conventional wisdom that powerful states do as they will and small states do as they must, this article advances an analysis of small states and the role they can play as agents of change in the area of peace and security. Insights from constructivist research on foreign policy contribute to explain why some small states adopt norm entrepreneurship as a diplomatic strategy and how such

Patterns of survival in lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma/waldenstrom macroglobulinemia: A population-based study of 1,555 patients diagnosed in Sweden from 1980 to 2005

Clinical management of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL)/Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (WM) has changed considerably over recent years, reflected in the use of new therapeutic agents (purine analogs, monoclonal antibodies, thalidomide- and bortezomib-based therapies). No population-based studies and few randomized trials have been performed to assess survival in newly diagnosed LPL/WM. We performed
