Hospitalization for hypoglycaemia in people with diabetes in Denmark, 1997-2017: Time trends in incidence and HbA and glucose-lowering drug use before and after hypoglycaemia.

Objective: To assess incidence trends of first hospitalization for hypoglycaemia in Denmark and to examine HbA levels and glucose-lowering drug use before and after hospitalization among individuals with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.

Research Design And Methods: We performed a population-based study linking diagnosis, prescription and laboratory data. Standardized incidence of first hospitalization for hypoglycaemia in Denmark was assessed for each calendar year 1997-2017.

Application of [18F]FLT-PET in pulmonary arterial hypertension: a clinical study in pulmonary arterial hypertension patients and unaffected bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2 mutation carriers.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by vascular cell proliferation leading to pulmonary vascular remodelling and ultimately right heart failure. Previous data indicated that 3'-deoxy-3'-[18F]-fluorothymidine (FLT) positron emission tomography (PET) scanning was increased in pulmonary arterial hypertension patients, hence providing a possible biomarker for pulmonary arterial hypertension as it reflects vascular cell hyperproliferation in the lung. This study sought to validate FLT-PET in an expanded cohort of pulmonary arterial hypertension patients in comparison to matched healthy controls and unaffected bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2 mutation carriers.

Validity of asthma diagnoses and patterns of anti-asthmatic drug use in a cohort of 2053 Danish children.

Background And Aims: When investigating and treating asthma in children, diagnosing must be precise and valid. There is a need for studies researching asthma in children showing how to use registry-based, epidemiological data. We examined the feasibility and validity of using anti-asthmatic drug prescription data to identify children with asthma and assessed medication patterns in children with and without confirmed asthma.
