The Swedish Registry for cholecystectomy and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) (GallRiks) is a validated register with high coverage. The registry started on May 1, 2005 and serves as a base for audit on gallstone disease treatment and also provides a database for clinical research. The aim of this study is to present an overview of the clinical consequences and implementations in patient care that GallRiks research may have contributed to during a 10-year period.

Design: Observational, population-based registry study.
Setting: Data from the nationwide Swedish Registry of Gallstone Surgery and ERCP (GallRiks).
Aims: This study examines different correlates to health-related quality (HRQoL) of life after discharge in patients with stroke.
Background: HRQoL is an important aspect of life after suffering a stroke. Previous research has revealed several variables associated with poststroke quality of life, including age, gender, depression, fatigue, length of hospital stay, functional status and amount of social participation.
Aims: To describe relatives' perceived participation in discharge planning for patients with stroke and identify correlates to perceived participation.
Background: Stroke affects both patients and their relatives and previous research shows that relatives were often dissatisfied with their perceived involvement in discharge planning and the information they get.
Design: Prospective cross-sectional study.
Aims And Objectives: To describe stroke patients' perceptions of their participation in the discharge planning process and identify correlates of perceived participation.
Background: Patients have the right to participate in discharge planning, but earlier research has shown that they are often dissatisfied with the information they receive and their involvement in goal-setting during discharge planning.
Design: Cross-sectional study.
Objective: To study developments in routine gallstone surgery in a defined population over a 20-year period with regard to incidence of operations, implementation of new methods, postoperative complications, and postoperative duration of hospital stay.
Design: Retrospective study of medical records.
Setting: County hospital, Sweden.
