About 1.5% of patients undergoing total hip (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA) still develop postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE), indicating that the current thromboprophylaxis strategy is not optimal. To evaluate the feasibility of therapeutic dosages of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) as thromboprophylaxis for high VTE risk patients, we determined the risks of major bleeding and VTE in patients who underwent THA/TKA and were treated with DOACs in therapeutic dosages for atrial fibrillation (AF).

- * The research included over 56,000 primary total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) performed from 2010 to 2018, analyzing the identification and reporting of PJI cases through sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values.
- * Findings indicated that DKR had a sensitivity of only 58% for PJI revisions, with the cumulative incidence of PJI at 0.8% for DKR, 0.9% for HAIBA, and 1
Background: Appendectomy may affect the clinical course of Crohn's disease (CD), but rigorous evidence is sparse and contradicting. The aim of this study was to examine the association between appendectomy and the clinical course of CD.
Methods: All patients diagnosed with CD in Denmark in the period from 1977 to 2017 were identified from the Danish National Patient Registry.
Objective: The aim was to examine the association between hospital-diagnosed overweight/obesity and incident CVD according to the time period of the overweight/obesity diagnosis.
Design: This is a cohort study.
Methods: From Danish national health registries, we identified all residents with a first-time hospital-based overweight/obesity diagnosis code, 1977-2018 (n = 195,221), and an age and sex-matched general population comparison cohort (n = 1,952,210).
Background: The risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) following total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is 1.0% to 1.5%, despite uniform thromboprophylaxis.

Methods: Inflammatory bowel disease patients diagnosed in Denmark in the period 1977 to 2017 were identified from the Danish National Patient Registry. Inflammatory bowel disease patients who underwent appendectomy were matched with up to 10 IBD patients without appendectomy and followed until aCRN, death, or emigration.
Most research on safety of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medications during pregnancy concerns central nervous system stimulants, while little is known about the safety of atomoxetine, a primary treatment alternative. We assessed the prevalence of major congenital malformations overall, and cardiac malformations and limb malformations specifically, after first-trimester exposure. In this cohort study, we included all approximately 2.

This impairs decision-making regarding bone health interventions.
Aim: We aimed to establish the age-specific fracture rates in children with CP with and without epilepsy in Denmark.
