Problem: The aim of this study was to evaluate the change in LUTS in patients treated with RALP and to assess factors that may predict an improvement of LUTS.
Materials And Method: In our institutional prospective research registry, 1935 patients operated in the period between 2009 and 2021 with complete baseline- and 12-month EPIC-26 questionnaire were eligible for the study. Also SF-12 data estimating general quality of life (QoL) were analyzed.
Introduction: Chronic pain (CP) patients often display lower heart rate variability (HRV) and baroreceptor sensitivity (BRS), which are associated with increased evoked pain intensity and decreased pain tolerance.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to test whether the association between low levels of HRV and BRS and increased evoked pain responsiveness in individuals with CP is mediated by psychological distress and whether this mediation is sex dependent.
Methods: The sample consisted of 877 participants in Wave 6 of the Tromsø population study who reported clinically meaningful CP.
Background And Purpose: The purpose of this study was to test the reliability and validity of the conceptual model of critical care nursing using the Nursing Activities Score (NAS) for intensive care unit (ICU) patients.
Methods: An observational study conducted in 2011 using the NAS scores of 219 patients in Norway. The inter-rater reliability (IRR) was tested by parallel classifications.
Background: To observe changes in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and its associated risk factors in a rural Bangladeshi population over a 10-year period.
Methods: Three cross-sectional studies were undertaken in a rural community (aged ≥20 years) in 1999, 2004, and 2009. Structured questionnaires including sociodemographic parameters, anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, and blood glucose values were recorded.
