Bakgrunn: Implantasjon av hjertestarter (implantable cardioverter defibrillator, ICD) er etablert behandling hos pasienter med høy risiko for plutselig hjertedød. Studiens formål var å kartlegge pasientkarakteristika, indikasjoner, hyppigheten av ICD-støt, komplikasjoner, reoperasjoner samt endringer over tid i ICD-behandlingen ved St. Olavs hospital.
Materiale Og Metode: Alle pasienter som fikk implantert hjertestarter ved St. Olavs hospital i perioden 2006-15 ble inkludert. Pasientene ble identifisert i pacemakerregisteret. Data ble hentet fra pacemakerregisteret og elektronisk pasientjournal.
Resultater: Studien inkluderte 598 pasienter (82 % menn, medianalder 65 år). Tidligere hjertestans eller alvorlig arytmi forelå hos 401 (67 %) av dem som fikk implantert hjertestarter. Koronarsykdom (n = 383) var vanligste underliggende årsak. I oppfølgingstiden (median 3,6 år) fikk 203 (34 %) av pasientene ICD-støt, 154 (26 %) fikk berettigede og 65 (11 %) fikk uberettigede støt. Hos 139 (23 %) pasienter oppstod komplikasjoner. 101 (17 %) pasienter døde i oppfølgingsperioden.
Fortolkning: Studien gir et godt grunnlag for kvalitetssikring av implantasjonsvirksomheten ved St. Olavs hospital. Kjønns- og aldersfordeling, indikasjon og underliggende årsaker for implantasjon samt hyppighet av støt og komplikasjoner samsvarer godt med tidligere publiserte data.

We have studied the prevalence of mental disorders and symptoms, including substance use disorders, in patients with persistent opioid use in 2019.
Material And Method: Persons ≥ 18 years with persistent opioid use and persons ≥ 18 years with at least one registered mental disorder in the specialist healthcare service in 2019 were included.
