Article Synopsis
- The study explored the relationship between hormonal contraceptive (HC) use and the development of asthma in women aged 10 to 40.
- Researchers found that starting HC treatment was linked to a higher risk of developing asthma, with a hazard ratio of 1.78, meaning HC users were nearly 80% more likely to develop asthma compared to nonusers.
- The increased risk was particularly significant in women under 18, and different generations of contraceptives (second and third) were associated with higher asthma incidence.
Objective: To study the association between behavioural factors and incidence rates of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Design: Case-control web-based questionnaire study.
Setting: Questionnaire data were collected in the Capital Region of Denmark in December 2020 when limited restrictions were in place, while the number of daily SARS-CoV-2 cases increased rapidly.
Research Question: Does menopausal hormone therapy (HT) with exogenous oestrogens and progestogens change the use of inhaled anti-asthma medications in women with asthma?
Methods: In a population-based matched cohort study using the Danish registries, we included women with asthma aged 45-65 years from 1 June 1995 to 30 June 2018. We investigated whether HT with oestrogen and/or progestogens was associated with changes in use of inhaled anti-asthma therapies in the 12 months following initiation. We used exposure density matching to match exposed subjects with unexposed subjects on age, household income and level of education.
Symptom presentation of SARS-CoV-2-positive and negative patients: a nested case-control study among patients calling the emergency medical service and medical helpline.
BMJ Open
May 2021
Objective: Currently effective symptom-based screening of patients suspected of COVID-19 is limited. We aimed to investigate age-related differences in symptom presentations of patients tested positive and negative for SARS-CoV-2.
Design: SETTING: Calls to the medical helpline (1-8-1-3) and emergency number (1-1-2) in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Background: Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is prescribed to millions of women worldwide. Previous studies have suggested that HRT has both protective and harmful effects in asthma.
Research Question: Is HRT in menopause associated with new development of asthma?
Study Design And Methods: We undertook a nested case-control study based on the Danish registers from June 1, 1995, through December 31, 2018.
Introduction: Patients with obstructive lung diseases are possibly at risk of developing severe outcomes of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the risk of severe outcomes of COVID-19 among patients with asthma and COPD.
Methods: We performed a nationwide cohort study of patients with COVID-19 from 1 February to 10 July 2020.
