Simple Talectomy is a Beneficial Surgical Procedure for Talipes Equinovarus and Other Severe Neuromuscular Foot Deformities.

Noninvasive techniques are gold standard to redress Severe Neuromuscular Foot Deformity (SNFD). However, simple talectomy may be considered to obtain a stable, plantigrade, pain-free foot. We present a 10-year follow-up accessing radiological correction rates, functional outcomes, complications, and patient satisfaction.

Time trends in body mass index distribution in the general population in Denmark from 1987 to 2021.

Introduction: The epidemic increase in obesity is well documented and of intensive public health interest. Attention has almost entirely focused on a dichotomous measure of obesity such as how the prevalence of BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 has changed over time. Less consideration has been given to how the general distribution of BMI has evolved.

Impact of the association between education and obesity on diabetes-free life expectancy.

Background: The purpose of the study was to quantify the association between body weight and health by estimating the expected lifetime with and without diabetes (diabetes-free life expectancy) at age 30 and 65. In addition, the diabetes-free life expectancy was stratified by educational level.

Methods: Life tables by sex, level of education and obese/not obese were constructed using nationwide register data and self-reported data on body weight and height and diabetes from the Danish National Health Survey in 2021.

Variations in the agreement of self-reported cancer: A Danish nationwide study.

Previous studies show that the agreement between self-reported and registry-documented diseases varies across diseases. Few studies have addressed these challenges across site-specific cancer diagnoses. The present study aimed to examine the sensitivity and negative predictive value (NPV) of self-reported cancer in a Danish nationwide survey among adults aged ≥16 years, using registry data as the criterion standard.

Trends in social inequality in mortality in Denmark 1995-2019: the contribution of smoking- and alcohol-related deaths.

Background: During the past decades, social inequality in mortality has increased in several countries, including Denmark. Modifiable risk factors, such as smoking and harmful alcohol consumption, have been suggested to moderate the association between socioeconomic position and health-related outcomes. The present study aims to investigate the contribution of smoking- and alcohol-related deaths to the trends in educational inequality in mortality in Denmark 1995-2019 among individuals aged 30-74 years.

Catalog of EQ-5D-3L Health-Related Quality-of-Life Scores for 199 Chronic Conditions and Health Risks in Denmark.

Unlabelled: . Assessments of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) are essential in estimating quality-adjusted life-years. It is sometimes not feasible to collect primary HRQoL data, and reliable secondary sources are necessary.

Quality of life in patients with hemorrhoidal disease.

Background: Operation for hemorrhoidal disease is one of the most common operations performed globally. However, we know little about the impact of the disease on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), or the importance of the observed clinical and anatomical changes.

Method: This was a single-center cross-sectional and cohort study.

Changes in adult obesity prevalence in Denmark, 1987-2021: age-period-cohort analysis of nationally representative data.

Background: During the last decades, the prevalence of obesity [body mass index (BMI): weight/height2), ≥30.00 kg/m2] among adults has increased considerably. We examined whether this increase in a high-income, welfare state, like Denmark was driven by age, period or cohort effects, which would inform preventive strategies aiming at reducing the prevalence.

The Association between Perceived Annoyances in the Indoor Home Environment and Respiratory Infections: A Danish Cohort Study with up to 19 Years of Follow-Up.

The increasing prevalence of reported annoyances in the indoor environment threatens public health. This study aimed to investigate the association between perceived annoyances from the home environment and respiratory infections among individuals with and without asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A total of 16,688 individuals from the Danish Health and Morbidity Survey initiated in 2000 were grouped according to their patterns of perceived annoyances.

Agreement between self-reported diseases from health surveys and national health registry data: a Danish nationwide study.

Background: Agreement may be low when comparing self-reported diseases in health surveys with registry data. The aim of the present study was to examine the agreement between seven self-reported diseases among a representative sample of Danish adults aged ≥16 years and data from medical records. Moreover, possible associations with sociodemographic variables were examined.

Patterns of Perceived Indoor Environment in Danish Homes.

The indoor environment is composed of several exposures existing simultaneously. Therefore, it might be useful to combine exposures into common combined measures when used to assess the association with health. The aim of our study was to identify patterns of the perceived indoor environment.

The impact of non-response weighting in health surveys for estimates on primary health care utilization.

Background: Low response rates in health surveys may affect the representativeness and generalizability of results if non-response is systematically related to the indicator of interest. To account for such potential bias, weighting procedures are widely used with an overall aim to obtain less biased estimates. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of applying calibrated weights on prevalence estimates of primary health care utilization among respondents compared to the entire sample of a representative Danish survey of adults aged ≥16 years.

Post-treatments of polydopamine coatings influence cellular response.

Polydopamine (PDA) is the final oxidation product of dopamine or other catecholamines. Since the first reports of PDA coatings starting around 2007, these coatings have been widely studied as a versatile and inexpensive one-step coating option for biomaterial functionalization. The coating attach to a wide range of materials and can subsequently be modified with biomolecules or nanoparticles.

Trends in dentate status and preventive dental visits of the adult population in Denmark over 30 years (1987-2017).

This study analyzed the trend in self-reported dentate status over 30 years (1987-2017) among Danish adults, the self-reported frequencies of preventive dental visits undertaken annually during the period 1987-2013, and the self-reported use of the 2016 recall scheme for preventive dental check-ups. The impact of social determinants (education, employment, civil status, and ethnic background) on these dental outcome variables in 2017 was explored. Questionnaire data were obtained from the Danish Health and Morbidity Surveys conducted from 1987-2017, and they were analyzed by tri-variate frequency distributions and multivariate analyses.
