- - The study explored the relationship between having children and their socioeconomic status with access to coronary treatments (CAG, CABG, or PCI) in older adults diagnosed with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) or unstable angina.
- - Among the 13,046 participants, those with children were found to have significantly higher odds (21% for CAG and 20% for CABG/PCI) of receiving necessary examinations and treatments within critical timeframes.
- - Interestingly, older adults with lower-educated children experienced a decrease in the odds (13%) of receiving CAG, suggesting that socioeconomic factors play a role in healthcare access and outcomes.
The mechanisms behind the association between adult offspring's socioeconomic position and their parents' mortality are not well understood. This study investigates lifestyle-related diseases as a potential mediating pathway between adult offspring's education and parental mortality. This nationwide register-based cohort study consists of 963,742 older adults aged 65 years between 2000 and 2018.

We investigated changes in sedative drug prescription patterns in Danish adults who initiated treatment between 2002 and 2016.
Methods: All adults with a first-time purchase of a sedative drug registered in the Danish National Prescription Register from 2002 through 2016 were followed for five years between 2002 and 2021 for subsequent prescriptions of sedative drugs, death, or emigration.
Background: Evidence-based use of antidepressant medications is of major clinical importance. We aimed to uncover precription patterns in a large cohort of patients with unipolar depression.
Material And Methods: Using Danish nationwide registers, we identified individuals with a first-time hospital diagnosis of unipolar depression between January 1st, 2001, and December 31st, 2016.
