Monitoring outcome measures for cardiometabolic disease during rehabilitation and follow-up in people with spinal cord injury.

Study Design: Controlled pragmatic intervention with follow-up.

Objectives: To describe cardiometabolic risk outcomes after a pragmatic intervention implemented into standard spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation.

Setting: Inpatient SCI rehabilitation in East-Denmark.

An observational study on body mass index during rehabilitation and follow-up in people with spinal cord injury in Denmark.

Study Design: Observational study OBJECTIVE: To describe body mass index (BMI) during rehabilitation in people with a newly sustained spinal cord injury (SCI).

Setting: Inpatient SCI rehabilitation in Denmark.

Participants: Inpatients, >18 years, having sustained a SCI within the last 12 months at admission to primary rehabilitation, inclusive of various SCI etiology, neurological level, completeness of the lesion or mobility status.

Motivation, Barriers, and Suggestions for Intradialytic Exercise-A Qualitative Study among Patients and Nurses.

: Intradialytic exercise is an effective intervention to reduce morbidity and mortality and increase quality of life among patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing dialysis. However, implementing and sustaining it in clinical practice has proved challenging. To identify how to best design an effective and sustainable intervention in clinical practice, we aimed to explore hemodialysis patients' and nurses' attitudes towards intradialytic exercise, including their motivation, anticipated barriers, and suggestions for the design of a proposed exercise program.

Exploring the contextual transition from spinal cord injury rehabilitation to the home environment: a qualitative study.

Study Design: Explorative qualitative study based on an interpretative phenomenological approach.

Objectives: This study explored the possibility of transferring knowledge and skills from a spinal cord injury (SCI) unit to the home environment; the individual and structural factors that potentially influenced this transfer; and its compatibility with a meaningful everyday life.

Setting: Hospital-based rehabilitation unit and community in Denmark.

The test-retest reliability of individualized VOpeak test modalities in people with spinal cord injury undergoing rehabilitation.

Study Design: Test-retest study.

Objective: To describe the test-retest reliability of an individualized approach for peak oxygen uptake (VOpeak) testing in a clinical context, accommodating inpatients with heterogeneous levels of physical functioning.

Setting: Inpatient rehabilitation.

Health promotion and cardiovascular risk reduction in people with spinal cord injury: physical activity, healthy diet and maintenance after discharge- protocol for a prospective national cohort study and a preintervention- postintervention study.

Introduction: Spinal cord injury (SCI) predisposes those who suffer from it to physical inactivity and weight gain; consequently, death due to cardiovascular diseases is more frequent among people with SCI than in the general population. The literature documents a consensus about an interdisciplinary multimodal approach for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular risk factors including overweight and obesity in people with SCI, focusing on diet, physical activity (PA) and behavioural interventions. This study will investigate implementation of recommendations from a recent clinical practice guideline for identification and management of cardiometabolic risk after SCI through multimodal patient education in a subacute clinical setting.

Current trends in patient and public involvement in cancer research: A systematic review.

Background: Patient and public involvement (PPI) in health research is on the rise worldwide. Within cancer research, PPI ensures that the rapid development of medical and technological opportunities for diagnostics, treatment and care corresponds with the needs and priorities of people affected by cancer. An overview of the experiences, outcomes and quality of recent PPI in cancer research would provide valuable information for future research.
