Incidence of fractures causing hospitalisation in prostate cancer patients: Results from the population-based PCBaSe Sweden

Background: Prostate cancer patients have an increased risk of fractures as a consequence of skeletal metastases and osteoporosis induced by endocrine treatment. Data on incidence of fractures and risks in subgroups of men with prostate cancer are sparse. Our aim with this study is to report the risk of fractures among men with prostate cancer in a nationwide population-based study. Patients and m

Impact of Recent Screening on Predicting the Outcome of Prostate Cancer Biopsy in Men With Elevated Prostate-Specific Antigen Data From the European Randomized Study of Prostate Cancer Screening in Gothenburg, Sweden

BACKGROUND: Risk models to predict prostate cancer on biopsy, whether they include only prostate-specific antigen (PSA) or other markers, are intended for use in all men of screening age. However, the association between PSA and cancer probably depends on a man's recent screening history. METHODS: The authors examined the effect of prior screening on the ability to predict the risk of prostate can

Horizontal and vertical target efficiency - a comparison between users and non-users of public long-term care in Sweden

The extent to which a system of services is in tune with the needs of the population can be expressed in terms of target efficiency, which includes horizontal target efficiency - the extent to which those deemed to need a service receive it - and vertical target efficiency - the corresponding extent to which those who receive a service actually need it. Vertical efficiency can be measured by looki
