Lipid Changes 10-15 Years After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: A Prospective Observational Study.

Background: Several studies have documented a beneficial short-term effect on lipid profile after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), but there is limited data on long-term changes.

Objectives: To describe long-term (> 10 years) changes in lipid profile after RYGB and to explore the relationship of lipid changes to changes in weight and baseline and demographic parameters.

Methods: The BAROBS study is a prospective observational study post RYGB conducted at three different hospitals.

Exploring Healthcare Paradoxes in Hospital Haemodialysis-A Qualitative Study.

Introduction: The complex logics of healthcare systems inherit paradoxes that can lead to interpersonal conflicts impacting both patients and professionals. In this study, we aimed to identify and explore tensions and conflicts arising from paradoxes within hospital haemodialysis.

Methods: We conducted a secondary supplementary analysis to previously collected qualitative data, including individual interviews with 11 patients and 10 nephrologists and focus groups involving a total of 13 haemodialysis nurses.

Normality and compassionate care: experiences from advanced cancer patients in their last time at home.

Background: Many cancer patients prefer to receive palliative treatment at home, as it allows them to be in a familiar and comfortable environment. Integrating Advance Care Planning (ACP) into routine practice in primary healthcare helps patients and their relatives prepare for end-of-life (EoL) care in accordance with patients' preferences. This includes the option to spend their final days at home if desired.

The Prevalence of Bradycardia 12 Years After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass for Severe Obesity.

Purpose: The aim was to describe the frequency of bradycardia 12 years after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), relations to weight loss, patient characteristics, and the clinical impact.

Materials And Methods: The BAROPS study is a prospective observational study of patients who had follow-up > 10 years after RYGB. Patients with heart rate (HR) ≤ 50 bpm were compared to patients with HR > 50 bpm.

Cancer patients have a reduced likelihood of dying in hospital with advance care planning in primary health care and a summarizing palliative plan: a prospective controlled non-randomized intervention trial.

Background: Advance care planning (ACP) allows patients to define their goals and preferences. Spending more time at home and less time in the hospital, along with avoiding death in the hospital, are often considered desirable outcomes of palliative care (PC). In 2015, 36% of cancer patients died in the hospital and 13% died at home in Norway.
