'It was hell on earth': perspectives of people living with celiac disease on diagnostic delay.

Background: Celiac disease (CD) is underdiagnosed and associated with diagnostic delays. This has long-term consequences for the health and well-being of people living with the condition. Little is known about the qualitative configurations of the assessment processes of people living with CD.

Combining the Antenatal Risk Questionnaire and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale in Early Pregnancy in Danish Antenatal Care-A Qualitative Descriptive Study.

Pregnant women with a history of mental disorders, neglect, or low social support are at increased risk of mental health problems. It is crucial to identify psychosocial risk factors in early pregnancy to reduce the risk of short- and long-term health consequences for mother and child. The Antenatal Risk Questionnaire has been found acceptable as a psychosocial screening tool among pregnant women in Australia, but it has not been tested in a Scandinavian context.

Reaching the Frail Elderly for the Diagnosis and Management of Atrial Fibrillation-REAFEL.

Background: Frail elderly patients are exposed to suffering strokes if they do not receive timely anticoagulation to prevent stroke associated to atrial fibrillation (AF). Evaluation in the cardiological ambulatory can be cumbersome as it often requires repeated visits.

Aim: To develop and implement CardioShare, a shared-care model where primary care leads patient management, using a compact Holter monitor device with asynchronous remote support from cardiologists.

Reaching Frail Elderly Patients to Optimize Diagnosis and Management of Atrial Fibrillation (REAFEL): A Feasibility Study of a Cross-Sectoral Shared-Care Model.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) management in primary care often requires a referral to cardiology clinics, which can be strenuous for frail patients. We developed "" (CS), a new cross-sector collaboration model, to ease this process. General practitioners (GPs) can use a compact Holter monitor (C3 from Cortrium) to receive remote advice from the cardiologist.

Intersectoral Ward Rounds on Patients Admitted to Temporary Twenty-Four-Hour Accommodations in Denmark: Case Study.

Introduction: Temporary twenty-four-hour accommodations (TTAs) are municipal beds for elderly patients discharged from the hospital with acute treatment, care and/or rehabilitation needs that cannot be met in their own homes. TTAs are staffed by nurses and nursing assistants who are not authorized to prescribe or modify medications. At North Zealand Hospital one third of the many readmissions from a TTA within eight days after discharge have been assessed as preventable.

Protocol for a cluster-randomized non-inferiority trial of the effect of direct access to publicly subsidized physiotherapy for adults with musculoskeletal pain.

Background: In the Danish healthcare system, direct access to physiotherapy is an option, but public subsidy for treatment requires referral from a general practitioner. To relieve general practice of unnecessary consultations and provide patients with easier access to relevant treatment, direct access to publicly subsidized physiotherapy has been suggested.

Methods: Direct access to subsidized physiotherapy will be evaluated in a controlled design and has a duration of one year.

Living With Prophylactic ICD Therapy and the Risk of Sudden Cardiac Death: How Patients Negotiate Solutions and Problems.

Prophylactic implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy treats potentially lethal cardiac arrhythmias in patients who have not previously experienced such but are at considerable risk due to underlying heart disease. Most patients are unaware of their risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) until the ICD is introduced to them. Thus, the problem of risk of death and the solution of ICD therapy are presented simultaneously.
