Background: It has been suggested that neuroborreliosis in children can manifest as psychiatric neurodevelopmental disorders or cause long-term neurodevelopmental sequelae. However, previous studies were limited by size and design.
Methods: We performed a nationwide, population-based, matched cohort study in Denmark between 1995 and 2021.
Objective: To investigate the use of non-barrier contraceptives among women with HIV (WWH) compared to women from the general population (WGP) in Denmark.
Design: Nationwide population-based matched cohort study.
Methods: We included WWH aged 16-50, treated at an HIV specialized clinic, and included in The Danish HIV Cohort Study between 1995-2021 and an age-matched comparison cohort of WGP.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined the relationship between bipolar disorders and the risk of HIV infection, as well as the risk of bipolar disorders in people with HIV (PWH) and their siblings.
- It used data from a large Danish population-based study, analyzing information from over 5,000 PWH and more than 53,000 matched individuals from the general population.
- Results showed that bipolar disorder increases the risk of HIV infection significantly, especially among injection drug users, and that PWH have a notably higher risk of developing bipolar disorder, particularly in the first two years after diagnosis.
Article Synopsis
- This research looked at people with HIV in Denmark who started treatment for HIV and how likely they were to get tuberculosis (TB) after six months.
- Out of nearly 7,000 people, 84 got TB, especially those who were not born in Denmark or who had used injectable drugs.
- The study found that people with controlled HIV (low virus levels) and who weren't exposed to certain risks had a TB risk similar to everyone else, while those with higher risks needed more attention for TB.
Background: Few studies have investigated the risk of psychiatric neurodevelopmental disorders (PNDD) after childhood meningitis.
Methods: Nationwide population-based cohort study (Denmark, 1995-2021) of children with positive cerebrospinal fluid for bacteria or enterovirus, stratified on age as young infants (0 to <90 days, = 637) or older children (≥90 days to <17 years, = 1,218). We constructed a comparison cohort from the general population ( = 18,550), and cohorts of siblings of participants.
