Diabetes distress and depression in type 2 diabetes. A cross-sectional study in 18,000 individuals in the Central Denmark region.

Aims: Type 2 diabetes is linked to psychological distress and a doubled risk of depression. This study aims to characterize individuals with type 2 diabetes experiencing diabetes distress and/or depression in relation to lifestyle and metabolic outcomes.

Methods: A population-based survey in 2020 targeted individuals with type 2 diabetes (aged 18-75 years) in the Central Denmark Region.

The impact of surgery and oncological treatment on risk of type 2 diabetes onset in patients with colorectal cancer: nationwide cohort study in Denmark.

Background: Comorbidity with type 2 diabetes (T2D) results in worsening of cancer-specific and overall prognosis in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. The treatment of CRC per se may be diabetogenic. We assessed the impact of different types of surgical cancer resections and oncological treatment on risk of T2D development in CRC patients.

The impact of diabetes on cancer detection during the prevalence round of a national screening program for colorectal cancer.

Aims: Diabetes is associated with a higher risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) and inferior survival after CRC. Screening may enable the early detection of CRC. We aimed to assess the impact of diabetes on cancer detection and disease stage during the prevalence round of a national CRC screening program.

Dementia and the risk of short-term readmission and mortality after a pneumonia admission.

Background: At time of discharge after a pneumonia admission, care planning for older persons with dementia is essential. However, care planning is limited by lack of knowledge on the short-term prognosis.

Aim: To investigate 30-day mortality and readmission after hospital discharge for pneumonia in persons with versus without dementia, and to investigate how these associations vary with age, time since discharge, and medication use.
