AI Article Synopsis
- Delivery care in Sweden is highly safe, with low rates of maternal (5/100,000) and perinatal deaths (<2/100,000), and improvements in perinatal and obstetric injury rates have been noted.
- A national initiative launched in 2007 involved all delivery clinics to enhance safety for newborns, which included the development of protocols and training to improve teamwork and communication.
- The Swedish Pregnancy Register provides valuable data for clinics to evaluate and improve their services, but challenges remain in critical situations, highlighting the need for better support systems and focus on psychological safety.
Article Abstract
Delivery care in Sweden is very safe, the incidence of maternal death is 5/100 000 and perinatal death <2/100 000. The perinatal death rate among babies born at or after week 41+0 decreased from 0.17 to 0.09% (p<0.001) and obstetric anal sphincter injuries have decreased from 3.5% to 2.6%; however interventions such as induction of labour increase. A national project to improve safety for newborns at delivery was initiated in 2007, engaging all delivery clinics in Sweden. The cooperative work process resulted in implementation of protocols, safety tools (SBAR; NEWS2) and intensified simulation training. The Swedish Pregnancy Register offers available data on pregnancy and delivery, enabling delivery clinics to assess results and direct improvement efforts. Still, challenges concerning teamwork and communication in difficult situations such as vacuum extraction and fetal surveillance with CTG need attention. Individualized support to »second victims« and continuous focus on phycological safety have the potential to further improve delivery care.

Introduction: The Alzheimer's Association and the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging convened a multidisciplinary workgroup to update appropriate use criteria (AUC) for amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) and to develop AUC for tau PET.
Methods: The workgroup identified key research questions that guided a systematic literature review on clinical amyloid/tau PET. Building on this review, the workgroup developed 17 clinical scenarios in which amyloid or tau PET may be considered.

Introduction: Plasma-based biomarkers have shown promise for clinical implementation, but their accuracy in differentiating Alzheimer's disease (AD) from syndromes associated with frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) has yet to be fully investigated. This study assessed the potential of plasma biomarkers for differential diagnosis.
Methods: This cohort study included 374 participants (96 AD, 278 FTLD).

Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is a common complaint in the general population and is associated with cardiovascular disease and increased mortality. We aimed to investigate whether sleep duration is related to excessive daytime sleepiness in the general population, both in itself and in combination with other factors. We performed a cross-sectional analysis in the population-based Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS) cohort (n = 27,976; 14,436 females; aged 50-64 years) to assess how sleep-related factors along with anthropometric, lifestyle, socioeconomic factors as well as somatic disease and psychological distress, were related with EDS assessed by the Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS).
