Cardiovascular outcomes after curative prostate cancer treatment: A population-based cohort study.

Objective: To investigate differences in cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality after radical prostatectomy or definitive radiotherapy with or without androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).

Materials And Methods: We used population-based data from the Cancer Registry of Norway, the Norwegian Patient Registry and the Norwegian Cause of Death Registry including 19 289 men ≤80 years diagnosed with non-metastatic prostate cancer during 2010-2019. Patients were treated with radical prostatectomy or definitive radiotherapy.

Treatment and 30-Day Mortality after Myocardial Infarction in Prostate Cancer Patients: A Population-Based Study from Norway.

Introduction: There is limited knowledge about the use of invasive treatment and mortality after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in prostate cancer (PCa) patients. We therefore wanted to compare rates of invasive treatment and 30-day mortality between AMIs in patients with PCa and AMIs in the general Norwegian male population.

Methods: Norwegian population-based registry data from 2013 to 2019 were used in this cohort study to identify AMIs in patients with a preceding PCa diagnosis.

Age and Emotional Distress during COVID-19: Findings from Two Waves of the Norwegian Citizen Panel.

Unlabelled: Older adults face the highest risk of COVID-19 morbidity and mortality. We investigated a one-year change in emotions and factors associated with emotional distress immediately after the onset of the pandemic, with emphasis on older age.

Methods: The online Norwegian Citizen Panel includes participants drawn randomly from the Norwegian Population Registry.

Reform influences location of death: Interrupted time-series analysis on older adults and persons with dementia.

Background: Norway instituted a Coordination Reform in 2012 aimed at maximizing time at home by providing in-home care through community services. Dying in a hospital can be highly stressful for patients and families. Persons with dementia are particularly vulnerable to negative outcomes in hospital.

General practitioners' provision of end-of-life care and associations with dying at home: a registry-based longitudinal study.

Background: General practitioners (GPs) may play an important role in providing end-of-life care to community-dwelling people.

Objective: To investigate patients' contacts with GPs, GPs' interdisciplinary collaboration, out-of-hours services and hospitalizations in the last 13 weeks of life and associations with dying at home. Second, investigate whether GP contacts were associated with fewer out-of-hours contacts or days hospitalized.

Associations between home deaths and end-of-life nursing care trajectories for community-dwelling people: a population-based registry study.

Background: Few studies have estimated planned home deaths compared to actual place of death in a general population or the longitudinal course of home nursing services and associations with place of death. We aimed to investigate trajectories of nursing services, potentially planned home deaths regardless of place of death; and associations of place of death with potentially planned home deaths and nursing service trajectories, by analyzing data from the last 90 days of life.

Methods: A retrospective longitudinal study with data from the Norwegian Cause of Death Registry and National registry for statistics on municipal healthcare services included all community-dwelling people who died in Norway 2012-2013 (n = 53,396).

Comparing unplanned and potentially planned home deaths: a population-based cross-sectional study.

Background: There is little research on number of planned home deaths. We need information about factors associated with home deaths, but also differences between planned and unplanned home deaths to improve end-of-life-care at home and make home deaths a feasible alternative. Our aim was to investigate factors associated with home deaths, estimate number of potentially planned home deaths, and differences in individual characteristics between people with and without a potentially planned home death.
