Lifestyle behavior among lymphoma survivors after high-dose therapy with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, assessed by patient-reported outcomes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Introduction: High-dose therapy with autologous stem cell transplantation (HD-ASCT) is associated with an increased risk of late effects. Our aim was to assess lifestyle behavior and factors associated with unhealthy ... -
Lifestyle modification for weight loss: Effects on cardiorespiratory capacity in patients with class II and class III obesity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background: The prevalence of obesity has increased worldwide. Obesity affectsthe lungs and airways, limits peak oxygen uptake, and hampers physical perfor-mance; however, objective data are scarce. Does lifestyle modification ... -
Limited effect of red blood cell transfusion on long-term mortality among anaemic cardiac surgery patients
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)OBJECTIVES Our goal was to investigate long-term mortality associated with red blood cell (RBC) transfusion among patients with anaemia undergoing cardiac surgery when adjusting for known risk factors. METHODS Adults with ... -
