    • Longitudinal brain age prediction and cognitive function after stroke 

      Aamodt, Eva Birgitte; Alnæs, Dag; de Lange, Ann-Marie Glasø; Aam, Stina; Schellhorn, Till; Saltvedt, Ingvild Tina; Beyer, Mona Kristiansen; Westlye, Lars Tjelta (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Advanced age is associated with post-stroke cognitive decline. Machine learning based on brain scans can be used to estimate brain age of patients, and the corresponding difference from chronological age, the brain age gap ...
    • Longitudinal trajectories of functional recovery after hip fracture 

      Dakhil, Shams; Saltvedt, Ingvild Tina; Saltyte Benth, Jurate; Thingstad, Anne Pernille Mæhle; Watne, Leiv; Wyller, Torgeir Bruun; Helbostad, Jorunn Hege Lægdheim; Frihagen, Frede; Johnsen, Lars Gunnar; Taraldsen, Kristin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Background There is limited evidence regarding predictors of functional trajectories after hip fracture. We aimed to identify groups with different trajectories of functional recovery the first year after hip fracture, ...
    • Multimodal individualised intervention to prevent functional decline after stroke: protocol of a randomised controlled trial on long-term follow-up after stroke (LAST-long)
