Urodynamic and questionnaire findings in urinary incontinent women with and without diabetes. Data from a health study.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Our aim was to compare urodynamic findings in urinary incontinent (UI) women with and without diabetes.

Methods: In the extensive Lolland-Falster Health Study, women with lower urinary tract symptoms were offered urodynamic testing. After excluding 6 women with incomplete urodynamic testing and 88 women without UI, our analysis ended up including 417 women (31 with and 386 without diabetes).

Hypothyroidism and urinary incontinence: Prevalence and association in a Danish, female sample from the Lolland-Falster Health study.

Introduction: We aimed to estimate the prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) in women with hypothyroidism and subclinical hypothyroidism and to examine the association of hypothyroidism and UI.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was based on the population-based Lolland-Falster Health Study (LOFUS), Denmark. Data comprising a questionnaire, physical examination, and blood samples were collected between 2016 and 2020.

Validity and reliability of two Danish versions of the ICIQ-UI SF.

Introduction And Hypothesis: We aimed to assess the validity and reliability of two Danish versions of the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-UI SF) in a female population. We hypothesized that the questionnaires had good predictive validity, internal consistency, patient-physician agreement, construct validity, test-retest reliability, and sensitivity to change.

Methods: To test the predictive validity, we compared the ICIQ-UI SF to urodynamics (n = 153).

Retinal safety evaluation of two-photon laser scanning in rats.

Safe use of retinal imaging with two-photon excitation in human eyes is crucial, as the effects of ultrashort pulsed lasers on the retina are relatively unknown. At the time of the study, the laser safety standards were inadequate due to the lack of biological data. This article addresses the feasibility of two-photon retinal imaging with respect to laser safety.

Pelvic organ prolapse surgery after native tissue vault suspension at hysterectomy-A prospective cohort study.

Objective: The effect of prophylactic vaginal vault suspension during hysterectomy in prevention of subsequent development of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is unknown. We aimed to investigate incidences and risk of POP surgery in women who had undergone hysterectomy on benign indication with and without prophylactic suspension.

Study Design: We linked the national clinical Danish Hysterectomy and Hysteroscopy Database (DHHD) to administrative registries to assess data on all total hysterectomies (1 May 2012 to 31 December 2014), suspension methods, age, POP surgery, births, obstetric complications, prescriptions, socioeconomic- and vital status.

Haptic tuck for reverse optic capture of a single-piece acrylic toric or other single-piece acrylic intraocular lenses.

We describe a new technique for capsule fixation of 1-piece acrylic toric intraocular lens (IOL) or other 1-piece acrylic IOLs in the presence of a large posterior capsule tear resulting in an open capsule. To keep the thick haptics out of the sulcus, reverse optic capture is necessary, with the haptics below the capsule and the optic edges above the capsule. This is done by placing the IOL in the sulcus and if it is a toric IOL, with the toric marks on the optic aligned with the corneal marks.

Incidence of implantable Collamer lens-induced cataract.

Objective: Although the literature on the implantable Collamer lens (ICL) suggests an increasing rate of anterior subcapsular cataract (ASC) development with increasing age and decreasing anterior chamber depth (ACD), the exact correlation is not known. We performed a retrospective observation study of 1653 eyes and calculated the incidence of ICL removal with cataract extraction and intraocular lens placement (CE-IOL) as a result of ASC, in correlation to patient's age and ACD.

Design: Retrospective observation study.

No evidence of association between native tissue vault suspension and risk of pelvic pain or sexual dysfunction.

Objective: Hysterectomy is suspected of increasing risk of subsequent pelvic organ prolapse (POP). In attempt to prevent this, several suspension methods during hysterectomy on benign indication are used as a prophylactic procedure. However, possible complications to the use of prophylactic vaginal vault suspension to prevent POP are not fully investigated.

Systematic review of the limited evidence for different surgical techniques at benign hysterectomy: A clinical guideline initiated by the Danish Health Authority.

Hysterectomy for benign gynecological conditions is a common operation that has developed extensively through the last 20 years. Methods and surgical techniques vary throughout the regions in Denmark as well as internationally. Consequently, the Danish Health Authority initiated a national clinical guideline on the subject based on a systematic review of the literature.

Hysterectomy technique and risk of pelvic organ prolapse repair: a Danish nationwide cohort study.

Purpose: The purpose was to investigate, in a large cohort, how hysterectomy technique influences the incidence of subsequent pelvic organ prolapse (POP) repair among women hysterectomized for benign conditions.

Methods: From the Danish National Patient Registry, we collected data on all hysterectomies on benign indications, and all POP operations performed in Denmark from January 1, 1977 to June 10, 2016. We excluded patients with prior POP repair.

Reoperation for pelvic organ prolapse: a Danish cohort study with 15-20 years' follow-up.
