Maternal use of hormonal contraception and risk of childhood autism spectrum disorders: A Parental Exposures and Child Health (PECH) cohort study.

A recent hypothesis suggests that maternal hormonal contraception use has contributed to the increasing incidence of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). We used a nationwide population-based cohort (the PECH cohort) including 1,056,149 Danish children born in the period January 1, 1998, to December 31, 2014, to assess associations between maternal hormonal contraception use and childhood ASD (end of follow-up: December 31, 2017). Maternal hormonal contraception use was grouped as "recent use" (≤ 3 months before pregnancy start or during pregnancy), "previous use" (>3 months before pregnancy start) and "never use", except for few products.

Effectiveness of the multi-component intervention 'Focus' on reducing smoking among students in the vocational education setting: a cluster randomized controlled trial.

Background: Social inequality in smoking remains an important public health issue. Upper secondary schools offering vocational education and training (VET) comprise more students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds and have higher smoking prevalence than general high schools. This study examined the effects of a school-based multi-component intervention on students' smoking.

Days between sessions predict attrition in text-based internet intervention of Binge Eating Disorder.

Background: The number of days between treatment sessions is often overlooked as a predictor of attrition in psychotherapy. In text-based Internet interventions, days between sessions may be a simple yet powerful predictor of attrition.

Objective: We hypothesized that a larger number of days between sessions increased the likelihood of attrition among participants with Binge Eating Disorder (BED) in a 12-session Internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) program.

An analysis of patient motivation for seeking online treatment for binge eating disorder-A mixed methods study combining systematic text condensation with sentiment analysis.

Objective: Online treatment for binge eating disorder (BED) is an easily available option for treatment compared to most standard treatment procedures. However, little is known about how motivation types characterize this population and how these impact treatment adherence and effect in an online setting. Therefore, we aimed to investigate a sample of written motivation statements from BED patients, to learn more about how treatment and online treatment in particular, presents in this population.

Early development of treatment motivation predicts adherence and symptom reduction in an internet-based guided self-help program for binge eating disorder.

Objective: Lack of motivation is widely acknowledged as a significant factor in treatment discontinuity and poor treatment outcomes in eating disorders. Treatment adherence is lower in internet-based treatment. The current study aimed to assess the relationship between treatment motivation and treatment outcomes in an internet-based therapist-guided intervention for Binge Eating Disorder (BED).

The development of a health-promoting employment intervention with physical activity for young people Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET): NEXT STEP-on the path to education and job.

Background: In the EU, approx. 16.5% of the 20-34-year-olds are Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET).

Behind the athletic body: a clinical interview study of identification of eating disorder symptoms and diagnoses in elite athletes.

Eating disorders are more prevalent in athletes than in the general population and may have severe consequences for sports performance and health. Identifying symptoms can be difficult in athletes because restrictive eating and slim body images are often idealised in a sports setting. The Eating Disorders Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q) and the SCOFF (Sick, Control, One stone, Fat and Food) questionnaire (SCOFF) are widely used generic instruments to identify symptoms of eating disorders.

Effect of Sleep Disturbance Symptoms on Treatment Outcome in Blended Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression (E-COMPARED Study): Secondary Analysis.

Background: Sleep disturbance symptoms are common in major depressive disorder (MDD) and have been found to hamper the treatment effect of conventional face-to-face psychological treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy. To increase the dissemination of evidence-based treatment, blended cognitive behavioral therapy (bCBT) consisting of web-based and face-to-face treatment is on the rise for patients with MDD. To date, no study has examined whether sleep disturbance symptoms have an impact on bCBT treatment outcomes and whether it affects bCBT and treatment-as-usual (TAU) equally.

Association of patient-reported psychosocial healthcare and risk of readmissions and mortality in patients with ischemic heart disease: A population-based cohort study.

Objective: Psychosocial risk factors are common in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) and linked to poor prognosis. Psychosocial healthcare is recommended in international guidelines and has demonstrated positive effects, primarily on psychosocial symptoms. We examined the association between patient-reported psychosocial healthcare and hospital readmissions and mortality in patients with IHD.

Patient and therapist experiences of using a smartphone application monitoring anxiety symptoms.

Purpose: A smartphone application (app) from the company Monsenso was developed to monitor anxiety symptoms in the treatment of anxiety disorders as an alternative to paper registrations. The aim of the study was to explore patient and therapist experiences of using the app in conjunction with standard treatment for anxiety disorder in a developmental and implementation phase.

Method: The study design was qualitative.

Perception of pharmacological prevention and subsequent non-adherence to medication in patients with ischaemic heart disease: a population-based cohort study.

Objective: A patient-focused approach is advocated to embody risk of non-adherence to medication and subsequent adverse clinical outcomes following ischaemic heart disease (IHD). This study aimed to explore how patient perceived information on pharmacological prevention was associated with subsequent non-adherence to medication (measured by non-initiation, non-implementation and non-persistence) in patients with incident IHD.

Design: Cohort study.

Cardiac rehabilitation for patients with heart failure: association with readmission and mortality risk.

Aims: To examine the temporal trends and factors associated with national cardiac rehabilitation (CR) referral and compare the risk of hospital readmission and mortality in those referred for CR versus no referral.

Methods And Results: This cohort study includes all adult patients alive 120 days from incident heart failure (HF) identified by the Danish Heart Failure Registry (n = 33 257) between 2010 and 2018. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to assess the association between CR referral and patient factors and acute all-cause hospital readmission and mortality at 1 year following HF admission.

Non-Persistence with Medication as a Mediator for the Social Inequality in Risk of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in Patients with Incident Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Nationwide Cohort Study.

Aim: Low socioeconomic status is associated with higher risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) among patients with incident acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We examined whether non-persistence with antiplatelet and statin therapy mediated the income- and educational-related inequality in risk of MACE.

Methods: Using national registers, all Danish patients diagnosed with incident ACS from 2010 to 2017 were identified.

Effectiveness of patient education for patients with osteoporosis: a systematic review.

Unlabelled: In this systematic review, the effects of osteoporosis patient education were examined. All studies found an effect on physical function, but for the other themes, the results were inconclusive. The findings indicate a need for further research in this topic.

Reducing smoking in youth by a smoke-free school environment: A stratified cluster randomized controlled trial of Focus, a multicomponent program for alternative high schools.

Youth smoking remains a major challenge for public health. Socioeconomic position influences the initiation and maintenance of smoking, and alternative high school students are at particularly high risk. The school environment is an important setting to promote health, however there is a lack of evidence-based school intervention programs.

What are the prevalence and predictors of psychosocial healthcare among patients with heart disease? A nationwide population-based cohort study.

Objectives: Psychosocial healthcare is recommended, but little is known about how patients perceive the level of care and whether subgroups of patients experience less psychosocial healthcare than others. We examined the prevalence of patient-reported psychosocial healthcare and factors predicting patient-reported lack of psychosocial healthcare among patients with heart disease.

Design: A cohort study.

Mortality among persons experiencing musculoskeletal pain: a prospective study among Danish men and women.

Background: Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain affects many people worldwide and has a great impact on general health and quality of life. However, the relationship between MSK pain and mortality is not clear. This study aimed to investigate all-cause and cause-specific mortality in relation to self-reported MSK pain within the last 14 days, including spread of pain and pain intensity.

Effectiveness of internet-based guided self-help for binge-eating disorder and characteristics of completers versus noncompleters.

Objective: Binge-eating disorder (BED) is characterized by recurrent episodes of binge eating, accompanied by a lack of control and feelings of shame. Online intervention is a promising, accessible treatment approach for BED. In the current study, we compared completers with noncompleters in a 10-session guided internet-based treatment program (iBED) based on cognitive behavioral therapy.

Social Anxiety Can Be Triggered by 360-Degree Videos in Virtual Reality: A Pilot Study Exploring Fear of Shopping.

Social anxiety disorder (SAD) involves intense fear of being scrutinized, judged, or embarrassed in public. Virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) is an exposure tool for SAD. Previous studies have developed computer-generated avatars and virtual environments, but this method is time-consuming and expensive.

Influence of socioeconomic status on the referral process to cardiac rehabilitation following acute coronary syndrome: a cross-sectional study.

Objective: To evaluate the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and referral to cardiac rehabilitation (CR) after incident acute coronary syndrome (ACS) by dividing the referral process into three phases: (1) informed about CR, (2) willingness to participate in CR, (3) and assigned CR setting.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Setting: Department of Cardiology at a Danish University Hospital from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2014.

STUDY PROTOCOL: EXPOSURE IN VIRTUAL REALITY FOR SOCIAL ANXIETY DISORDER - a randomized controlled superiority trial comparing cognitive behavioral therapy with virtual reality based exposure to cognitive behavioral therapy with in vivo exposure.

Background: Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) is characterized by an intense fear of negative judgement by others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is recommended for treatment, but a substantial part of individuals with SAD either do not seek treatment or drop-out. CBT with Virtual Reality (VR)-based exposure has several advantages compared to traditional exposure methods, mainly due to increased control of situational elements.
