Biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy - a large, comprehensive, population-based study with long follow-up.

Objective: We evaluated long-term risk for biochemical recurrence and subsequent prognosis in a population-based cohort.

Material And Methods: We used register-based data to evaluate 6 675 consecutive patients having radical prostatectomy in Västra Götaland county in Sweden during 1995-2014. Patients were followed until death or end of study, 31 December 2014.

Changes in Characteristics of Men with Lethal Prostate Cancer During the Past 25 Years: Description of Population-based Deaths.

Background: Attempts to reduce prostate cancer (PC) mortality require an understanding of temporal changes in the characteristics of men with lethal PC.

Objective: To describe the diagnostic characteristics of and time trends for a nationwide population-based cohort of Swedish men who died from PC between 1992 and 2016.

Design Setting And Participants: Men with PC as the underlying cause of death from 1992 to 2016 according to the Swedish Cause of Death Register were included in the study.

Degree of Preservation of Neurovascular Bundles in Radical Prostatectomy and Recurrence of Prostate Cancer.

Background: Reports on possible benefits for continence with nerve-sparing (NS) radical prostatectomy have expanded the indications beyond preservation of erectile function. It is unclear whether NS surgery affects oncological outcomes.

Objective: To determine whether the degree of NS during radical prostatectomy influences oncological outcomes.

Preparedness for side effects and bother in symptomatic men after radical prostatectomy in a prospective, non-randomized trial, LAPPRO.

Background: Many clinicians believe that preparedness before surgery for possible post-surgery side effects reduces the level of bother experienced from urinary incontinence and decreased sexual health after surgery. There are no published studies evaluating this belief. Therefore, we aimed to study the level of preparedness before radical prostatectomy and the level of bother experienced from urinary incontinence and decreased sexual health after surgery.

Degree of preservation of the neurovascular bundles during radical prostatectomy and urinary continence 1 year after surgery.

Background: Many elderly or impotent men with prostate cancer may not receive a bundle-preserving radical prostatectomy as a result of uncertainty regarding the effect on urinary incontinence.

Objective: We searched for predictors of urinary incontinence 1 yr after surgery among surgical steps during radical prostatectomy.

Design, Setting, And Participants: More than 100 surgeons in 14 centers prospectively collected data on surgical steps during an open or robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.

Social capital and administrative contextual determinants of lack of access to a regular doctor: a multilevel analysis in southern Sweden.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of contextual (social capital and administrative/neo-materialist) and individual factors on lack of access to a regular doctor.

Methods: The 2000 public health survey in Scania is a cross-sectional study. A total of 13,715 persons answered a postal questionnaire, which is 59% of the random sample.

Social capital, the miniaturization of community and assessment of patient satisfaction in primary healthcare: a population-based study.

Aims: A study was undertaken to assess the impact of social participation, trust and the miniaturization of community, i.e. high social participation/low trust, on two measures of patient dissatisfaction in primary healthcare.

Ethnic differences in self-reported lack of access to a regular doctor: a population-based study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate ethnic differences in self-reported lack of access to a regular doctor in Malmö, Sweden.

Design: The public health survey in Malmö 1994 was a cross sectional population study. Data were collected from 5600 people aged 20-80 years using a postal questionnaire.
