Objectives: To explore whether the minimally invasive oesophagectomy (MIE) or hybrid minimally invasive oesophagectomy (HMIE) are associated with better nutritional status and less weight loss 1 year after surgery, compared with open oesophagectomy (OE).
Design: Prospective cohort study.
Setting: All patients undergoing oesophagectomy for cancer in Sweden during 2013-2018.
Purpose: Esophagectomy for cancer is an extensive procedure often followed by severe complications. This study investigated whether patients with severe symptoms of reflux are more likely to have sleep disturbances and reduced health-related quality of life (HRQL) after esophagectomy.
Methods: This Swedish nationwide prospective cohort study encompassed all patients who had undergone esophagectomy for cancer between 2013 and 2018.
Background: Oesophageal cancer is frequently accompanied with malnutrition. We aimed to evaluate if early support from dietitians and patient's level of satisfaction with the support from dietitians are associated with better outcomes for weight loss and nutrition impact symptoms (NIS).
Methods: A nationwide and prospective cohort study on patients operated for oesophageal cancer in Sweden from 2013 onwards, included one year after surgery.
Background & Aims: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and intensity of symptoms of dumping syndrome (early and late) experienced by oesophageal cancer survivors one year after surgery and their association with health related quality of life (HRQL).
Methods: A prospective cohort study of patients who underwent surgery for oesophageal cancer in Sweden from January 2013 to April 2018, included at one year after surgery with follow-up at 1.5 years.
Background: Fish intake in infancy has been associated with reduced risk of allergic disease in early childhood, but it is unknown whether this effect remains as children grow older.
Objective: We studied the possible effect of fish consumption in infancy on prevalent and incident allergic disease up to the age of 12 y.
Design: A total of 3285 children from a prospective Swedish birth cohort (Children, Asthma, Milieu, Stockholm, Epidemiology) were included in the current analyses.
Background: Previous largely cross-sectional studies suggest that fruit and vegetable consumption reduces the risk of allergic disease in children, but results are conflicting.
Objective: To investigate the association between current fruit or vegetable intake and allergic disease in 8-year-old Swedish children, and to evaluate the potential effect of disease-related modification of consumption.
Methods: Cross-sectional data were obtained from a Swedish birth cohort study.
Background: Multivitamins are frequently consumed by children, but it is unclear whether this affects the risk of allergic disease.
Objective: We sought to study the association between multivitamin supplementation and allergic disease in 8-y-old children.
Design: Data were obtained from a Swedish birth cohort study.
Objective: Our aim was to investigate the role of measles vaccination and measles infection in the development of allergic disease and atopic sensitization.
Methods: A total of 14 893 children were included from the cross-sectional, multicenter Prevention of Allergy-Risk Factors for Sensitization in Children Related to Farming and Anthroposophic Lifestyle study, conducted in 5 European countries (Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland). The children were between 5 and 13 years of age and represented farm children, Steiner-school children, and 2 reference groups.
