Does DISE increase the success rate of surgery for obstructive sleep apnea in children? A systematic review of DISE directed treatment of children with OSAS.

Objective: A systematic review of the evidence on the success of Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy (DISE) directed surgery in children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) defined as cure rate.

Data Sources: The PRISMA guidelines were followed and three databases (PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library) were searched for studies on DISE directed surgery in children.

Endpoints: Pre- and post-surgical change in polysomnography (PSG); change in surgical target; side effects.

Comparison of clinical practice of tonsil surgery from quality register data from Sweden and Norway and one clinic in Denmark.

Objectives: To compare the application of indications, demographics, surgical and haemostatic techniques in tonsil surgery in three countries.

Design: Non-randomised, prospective, observational cohort.

Setting: All patients registered in the National Tonsil Surgery Quality Registers in Sweden, Norway and West Jutland, Denmark.

Feasibility of conducting type III home sleep apnoea test in children.

Objectives: To test the feasibility of conducting unattended paediatric type III HSAT and to identify issues for improvements to optimize signal quality.

Material And Methods: Parents were instructed in setting up the unattended HSAT and reported their experiences. Signal quality and causes of signal failure of recordings were assessed.

The first experiences of implementation of the Swedish tonsil register in Denmark.

Tonsil surgery is a daily procedure at Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) departments as well as ENT practices. Despite national tonsil guidelines in Denmark, no national survey has been introduced. To display the process of implementing a Danish version of the Swedish tonsil register including a presentation and validation of the first year's results.

The effect of renal denervation on arterial stiffness, central blood pressure and heart rate variability in treatment resistant essential hypertension: a substudy of a randomized sham-controlled double-blinded trial (the ReSET trial).

Objectives: To investigate, whether renal denervation (RDN) improves arterial stiffness, central blood pressure (C-BP) and heart rate variability (HRV) in patients with treatment resistant hypertension.

Methods: ReSET was a randomized, sham-controlled, double-blinded trial (NCT01459900). RDN was performed by a single experienced operator using the Medtronic unipolar Symplicity Flex catheter.

Hospital-based versus community-based shared care cardiac rehabilitation after acute coronary syndrome: protocol for a randomized clinical trial.

Introduction: Participation in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is poor although CR reduces morbidity and mortality. One way in which attendance may potentially be improved is by involving municipal health-care centres (MHCC) and the patient's general practitioner (GP) to a larger degree in a model of shared care cardiac rehabilitation (SC-CR). Our study tests the feasibility of SC-CR and compares the attendance and effects of SC-CR with the individually tailored hospital-based CR (H-CR) programme.
