Physical activity for children and adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: a protocol of a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder among children and adolescents. The disorder negatively influences their academic performance and social relations, and their quality of life (QoL) is lower than that of peers without ADHD. The majority of children and adolescents with ADHD are treated with medication that potentially has an insufficient effect or frequently occurring adverse events.

The association between nonpharmacological interventions and quality of life in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: A systematic review.

Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a common psychiatric disorder with a worldwide prevalence of about five percent among children and adolescents. This disorder affects most aspects of their lives e.g.

Prevalence of Prolonged Length of Stay in an Emergency Department in Urban Denmark: A Retrospective Health Records Repository Review.

Introduction: Prolonged length of stay in emergency departments is associated with increased hospitalization, hospital-acquired pressure ulcers, medication errors, and mortality. In acute admissions in Denmark in 2018, 67% of patients experienced waiting time from arrival to examination. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of prolonged length of stay (≥6 hours) and identify risk factors related to input, throughput, and output components.

Risk Factors for Developing Postlumbar Puncture Headache: A Case-Control Study.

Background: Postlumbar puncture headache (PLPH) is a common adverse event after lumbar puncture. The specific cause for headache remains uncertain but is assumed to be cerebrospinal fluid leakage. The headache affects the patient, family, and workplace as well as society in general.

Data on patient-reported outcomes and the risk of readmission following a cardiac diagnosis.

The data presented in this paper describe a supplementary figure and supplementary tables to the research article; Patient-reported outcomes predict high readmission rates among patients with cardiac diagnoses - Findings from the DenHeart study [1]. The data reports on findings from the DenHeart study, investigating the association between patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and the risk of readmission after a cardiac diagnosis. Data from a national survey with register-based follow-up of a cohort of 34,564 patients were analysed.

Patient-reported outcomes predict high readmission rates among patients with cardiac diagnoses. Findings from the DenHeart study.

Background: High rates of readmission after myocardial infarction and cardiac surgery have been reported, indicating a heavy burden for both patients and society. Patient-reported outcomes are predictors of adverse outcomes such as morbidity and mortality and may also be useful in preventive risk assessment as predictors of readmission.

Aim: To describe (i) the prevalence of cardiac readmissions one year after hospital discharge among cardiac patients, (ii) patient-reported outcomes at hospital discharge as predictors of readmission.

Patient-reported outcomes at hospital discharge among patients with arrhythmia: Results from the national DenHeart survey.

Background: Patient-reported outcomes are important predictors of mortality, cardiovascular events and hospitalisation in patients with cardiac diseases, but differences in patient-reported outcomes between groups of patients with arrhythmia have not yet been investigated.

Aims: To describe and compare patient-reported outcomes at discharge among patients with different types of cardiac arrhythmia and to examine the associations between demographic characteristics, inhospital factors and patient-reported outcomes.

Methods: Data were derived from the national DenHeart study including patient-reported outcomes from the following questionnaires: the hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS), HeartQoL, short form 12 (SF-12), current health status (EQ-5D), brief illness perception questionnaire (B-IPQ) and the Edmonton symptom assessment scale (ESAS).

Sociodemographic, Clinical and Patient-Reported Outcomes and Readmission After Heart Valve Surgery.

Background: Readmissions after heart valve surgery represent a significant burden for both the patient and the healthcare system. The study aim was to identify independent predictors of readmission within 180 days after surgery in a population of patients undergoing heart valve surgery.

Methods: Demographic and clinical information was obtained from national registers.

Patient-reported outcomes are independent predictors of one-year mortality and cardiac events across cardiac diagnoses: Findings from the national DenHeart survey.

Aims: Patient-reported quality of life and anxiety/depression scores provide important prognostic information independently of traditional clinical data. The aims of this study were to describe: (a) mortality and cardiac events one year after hospital discharge across cardiac diagnoses; (b) patient-reported outcomes at hospital discharge as a predictor of mortality and cardiac events.

Design: A cross-sectional survey with register follow-up.

Efficacy of Prewarming With a Self-Warming Blanket for the Prevention of Unintended Perioperative Hypothermia in Patients Undergoing Hip or Knee Arthroplasty.

Purpose: Unintended perioperative hypothermia (UPH) is a common and serious complication for patients undergoing anesthesia. The purpose of this study was to identify the incidence of UPH and evaluate the efficacy of a self-warming blanket on the drop in core temperature and risk of UPH in patients undergoing hip or knee arthroplasty.

Design: A case-control study was used.

Patient-reported outcomes after aortic and mitral valve surgery - results from the DenHeart Study.

Background: Clinical course, co-morbidity and age often differs between patients undergoing aortic and mitral valve surgery and this might affect patient-reported outcomes.

Aims: The purpose of this study was to describe differences in patient-reported physical and mental health and health-related quality of life after aortic valve or mitral valve surgery, and to identify demographic and clinical characteristics associated with worse patient-reported physical and mental health, and health-related quality of life.

Methods: Patient-reported outcomes were measured at discharge as a part of a national, cross-sectional study (DenHeart).

How family interactions about lifestyle changes affect adolescents' possibilities for maintaining weight loss after a weight-loss intervention: a longitudinal qualitative interview study.

Aim: This study aims to examine how family interactions related to lifestyle changes influence adolescents' potential for maintaining weight loss after participating in a weight-loss treatment programme.

Background: Obesity among adolescents is a large and complex health problem worldwide. Family support is crucial if adolescents are to benefit from weight-loss intervention.

Limited availability of childhood overweight and obesity treatment programmes in Danish paediatric departments.

Introduction: The prevalence of children and adolescents with overweight and obesity has tripled over the past 30 years. One in five children in Denmark is overweight, a condition which is accompanied by serious medical and psychosocial complications. So far, an overview of the Danish treatment of childhood overweight and obesity has been lacking.

Multivariate analysis of the relation between diet and warfarin dose.

Purpose: The vitamin K antagonist (VKA) warfarin is effective for the prevention of thromboembolisms. Maintenance doses differ greatly among patients and are known to be primarily determined by genetic polymorphisms. The relative impact of dietary vitamin K intake is still a matter of debate.

Plenty of pills: polypharmacy prevails in patients of a Danish anticoagulant clinic.

Purpose: Vitamin K antagonist (VKA) treatment can successfully prevent thromboembolic complications, but the modality has a narrow therapeutic window and numerous interactions with other pharmaceuticals. The aim of the study reported here was to describe the use of co-medications and the prevalence of polypharmacy among patients treated with VKA.

Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 250 consecutive patients (65% male, median age 68 years, most common indication for VKA treatment: atrial fibrillation) in the maintenance phase of VKA treatment were interviewed about their use of prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs and alternative medicines during the last 7 days.

Parental care in childhood and obesity in adulthood: a study among twins.

The purpose of the study was to examine if parental antipathy and neglect during childhood were associated with obesity in adulthood. From the Danish Twin Registry (DTR) 146 adult same-sexed twin pairs discordant for BMI were identified. Criteria for being discordant were that one of the twins should have a BMI between 20 and 25 kg/m(2) (normal weight) and the co-twin a BMI ≥30 kg/m² (obesity).
