      Cognitive function can be affected by cancer and/or its treatment, and older patients are at a particular risk. In a prospective observational study including patients ≥65 years referred for radiotherapy (RT), we aimed to ...

    • Complement activation is associated with poor outcome after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest 

      Chaban, Viktoriia; Nakstad, Espen R.; Stær-Jensen, Henrik; Schjalm, Camilla; Seljeflot, Ingebjørg; Vaage, Ingvar Jarle; Lundqvist, Christofer; Saltyte Benth, Jurate; Sunde, Kjetil; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Andersen, Geir Øystein; Pischke, Soeren (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Background Cardiopulmonary resuscitation after cardiac arrest initiates a whole-body ischemia-reperfusion injury, which may activate the innate immune system, including the complement system. We hypothesized that complement ...

    • CT Derived Muscle Measures, Inflammation, and Frailty in a Cohort of Older Cancer Patients

      Background/Aim: Muscle loss, inflammation, and frailty are prevalent among older cancer patients. We aimed to evaluate whether inflammatory markers could identify muscle loss, and if muscle measures differed between frail ...

    • Edmonton Frail Scale predicts mortality in older patients with cancer undergoing radiotherapy-A prospective observational study 

      Røyset, Inga Marie; Eriksen, Guro Falk; Saltyte Benth, Jurate; Saltvedt, Ingvild Tina; Grønberg, Bjørn Henning; Rostoft, Siri; Kirkevold, Øyvind; Rolfson, Darryl; Jordhøy, Marit Slaaen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Background: Several screening tools are developed to identify frailty in the increasing number of older patients with cancer. Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS) performs well in geriatric settings but is less studied in oncology. ...

    • Exploration of 27 plasma immune markers: A cross-sectional comparison of 64 old psychiatric inpatients having unipolar major depression and 18 non-depressed old persons 

      Gaarden, Torfinn Lødøen; Engedal, Knut; Saltyte Benth, Jurate; Larsen, Marianne; Lorentzen, Bernhard; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Bjølseth, Tor Magne; Castellheim, Albert (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Background The prevalence of major depression (MD) according to population studies is the same for old (65 years and older) and younger adults. In contrast, an elevated proportion of old MD patients are hospitalized ...

    • Geriatric assessment is superior to oncologists’ clinical judgement in identifying frailty 

      Kirkhus, Lene; Saltyte Benth, Jurate; Kristjansson, Siri Rostoft; Grønberg, Bjørn Henning; Hjermstad, Marianne Jensen; Selbæk, Geir; Wyller, Torgeir Bruun; Harneshaug, Magnus; Jordhøy, Marit Slaaen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Background: Frailty is a syndrome associated with increased vulnerability and an important predictor of outcomes in older cancer patients. Systematic assessments to identify frailty are seldom applied, and oncologists’ ...

    • Geriatric assessment with management for older patients with cancer receiving radiotherapy. Protocol of a Norwegian cluster-randomised controlled pilot study 

      Røyset, Inga Marie; Saltvedt, Ingvild; Rostoft, Siri; Grønberg, Bjørn Henning; Kirkevold, Øyvind; Oldervoll, Line Merethe; Bye, Asta; Saltyte Benth, Jurate; Bergh, Sverre; Melby, Line; Halsteinli, Vidar; Døhl, Øystein; Røsstad, Tove Garåsen; Eriksen, Guro Falk; Sollid, May Ingvild Volungholen; Rolfson, Darryl; Jordhøy, Marit Slaaen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      About 50% of patients with cancer are expected to need radiotherapy (RT), and the majority of these are older. To improve outcomes for older patients with cancer, geriatric assessment (GA) with management (GAM) is highly ...

    • Inflammation markers in multiple sclerosis: CXCL16 reflects and may also predict disease activity 

      Holmøy, Trygve; Løken-Amsrud, Kristin Ingeleiv; Bakke, Jacob; Beiske, Antonie Giæver; Bjerve, Kristian S; Hovdal, Harald Olav; Lilleås, Finn; Midgard, Rune; Pedersen, Tom; Saltyte Benth, Jurate; Torkildsen, Øivind; Wergeland, Stig; Myhr, Kjell-Morten; Michelsen, Annika; Aukrust, Pål; Ueland, Thor (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)
