Evaluation of data quality in the Swedish National Penile Cancer Register.

Objective: The National Penile Cancer Register (NPECR) in Sweden was initiated in year 2000 and currently contains more than 3,900 men diagnosed with penile cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate data quality in the NPECR in terms of completeness, timeliness, comparability, and validity.

Material And Methods: Completeness was assessed by cross-linkage to the Swedish Cancer Register.

AI Concepts for System of Systems Dynamic Interoperability.

Interoperability is a central problem in digitization and System of Systems (SoS) engineering, which concerns the capacity of systems to exchange information and cooperate. The task to dynamically establish interoperability between heterogeneous cyber-physical systems (CPSs) at run-time is a challenging problem. Different aspects of the interoperability problem have been studied in fields such as SoS, neural translation, and agent-based systems, but there are no unifying solutions beyond domain-specific standardization efforts.

Uptake of doublet therapy for de novo metastatic castration sensitive prostate cancer: a population-based drug utilisation study in Sweden.

Background: Randomised controlled trials have demonstrated prolonged survival with new upfront treatments in addition to standard androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in men with de novo metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer. We describe patient characteristics, time trends and regional differences in uptake of these new treatment strategies in clinical practice.

Material And Methods: This descriptive study consisted of men registered in the National Prostate Cancer Register of Sweden from 1 January 2018 to 31 March 2022 with de novo metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer defined by the presence of metastases on imaging at the time of diagnosis.

Deep Ontology Alignment Using a Natural Language Processing Approach for Automatic M2M Translation in IIoT.

The technical capabilities of modern Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 are vast and growing exponentially daily.

Penile cancer: long-term infectious and thromboembolic complications following lymph node dissection - a population-based study (Sweden).

Purpose: To assess the long-term risks of infectious and thromboembolic events following inguinal (ILND) and pelvic (PLND) lymph node dissection in men with penile cancer.

Material And Methods: A total of 364 men subjected to ILND with or without PLND for penile cancer between 2000 and 2012 were identified in the Swedish National Penile Cancer Register. Each patient was matched based on age and county of residence with six penile cancer-free men.
