Mortality After Late Breast Cancer Recurrence in Denmark.

Purpose: Late breast cancer (BC) recurrence (ie, ≥ 10 years after primary diagnosis) may have a more favorable prognosis than earlier recurrence. We investigated the risk of BC death after late recurrence, identified prognostic factors, and compared survival after early and late recurrence.

Methods: Using the Danish Breast Cancer Group and other nationwide databases, we identified women with early or late BC recurrence during 2004-2018, who were alive 6 months after recurrence.

The Incidence of Breast Cancer Recurrence 10-32 Years After Primary Diagnosis.

Background: Extended, more effective breast cancer treatments have increased the prevalence of long-term survivors. We investigated the risk of late breast cancer recurrence (BCR), 10 years or more after primary diagnosis, and associations between patient and tumor characteristics at primary diagnosis and late BCR up to 32 years after primary breast cancer diagnosis.

Methods: Using the Danish Breast Cancer Group clinical database, we identified all women with an incident early breast cancer diagnosed during 1987-2004.

Validation of an Algorithm to Ascertain Late Breast Cancer Recurrence Using Danish Medical Registries.

Purpose: About 70% of women with breast cancer survive at least 10 years after diagnosis. We constructed an algorithm to ascertain late breast cancer recurrence-which we define as breast cancer that recurs 10 years or more after primary diagnosis (excluding contralateral breast cancers)-using Danish nationwide medical registries. We used clinical information recorded in medical records as a reference standard.

Surgical repair of long-gap esophageal atresia: A retrospective study comparing the management of long-gap esophageal atresia in the Nordic countries.

Background: Several surgical procedures have been described in the reconstruction of long-gap esophageal atresia (LGEA). We reviewed the surgical methods used in children with LGEA in the Nordic countries over a 15-year period and the postoperative complications within the first postoperative year.

Methods: Retrospective multicenter medical record review of all children born with Gross type A or B esophageal atresia between 01/01/2000 and 12/31/2014 reconstructed within their first year of life.

Long-term pulmonary function in esophageal atresia-A case-control study.

Background: Esophageal atresia (EA) is a congenital anomaly associated with substantial pulmonary morbidity throughout childhood.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate pulmonary complications among 59 five to 15-year-old children and adolescents with surgically corrected congenital EA.

Methods: Participants underwent a structured interview, spirometry, body plethysmography, mannitol challenge test, skin prick test, as well as measurements of the diffusion capacity, airway resistance, fraction of exhaled NO, and specific immunoglobulin E in serum.

Esophageal atresia: gastroesophageal functional follow-up in 5-15 year old children.

Purpose: Esophageal atresia (EA) is one of the most frequent congenital alimentary tract anomalies with a considerable morbidity throughout childhood. This study evaluates the gastroesophageal problems in 5-15 year old children with EA and aims to identify factors predisposing to esophagitis in EA.

Material And Methods: Fifty-nine patients primarily operated at Odense University Hospital, Denmark, during 1993-2005 were included in this follow-up study.

Oesophageal atresia: prevalence, prenatal diagnosis and associated anomalies in 23 European regions.

Objective: To describe prevalence, prenatal diagnosis and epidemiological data on oesophageal atresia from 23 well-defined European regions and compare the prevalence between these regions.

Design: Population-based study using data from a large European database for surveillance of congenital anomalies (EUROCAT) for two decades (1987-2006).

Settings: Twenty-three participating registries based on multiple sources of information including information about live births, fetal deaths with gestational age ≥20 weeks and terminations of pregnancy.

Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis: a comparative study of incidence and other epidemiological characteristics in seven European regions.

Objective: The objective of this study was to present epidemiologic data on infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) from seven well-defined European regions, and to compare incidence and changes in incidence over time between these regions.

Methods: This was a population-based study using data from registries of congenital malformations (EUROCAT) for a period of more than two decades (1980-2002).

Results: A total of 2534 infants were diagnosed with IHPS during the study period, giving an overall incidence of IHPS of 2.
