The impact of frailty on survival in elderly intensive care patients with COVID-19: the COVIP study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background The COVID-19 pandemic has led highly developed healthcare systems to the brink of collapse due to the large numbers of patients being admitted into hospitals. One of the potential prognostic indicators in ... -
Reliability of the Clinical Frailty Scale in very elderly ICU patients: a prospective European study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Purpose Frailty is a valuable predictor for outcome in elderly ICU patients, and has been suggested to be used in various decision-making processes prior to and during an ICU admission. There are many instruments developed ... -
A prospective three-year follow-up study on the clinical significance of anti-neuronal antibodies in acute psychiatric disorders
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The clinical significance of anti-neuronal antibodies for psychiatric disorders is controversial. We investigated if a positive anti-neuronal antibody status at admission to acute psychiatric inpatient care was associated ... -
Effect of 5 years of exercise training on the cardiovascular risk profile of older adults: the Generation 100 randomized trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Aims The aim of this study was to compare the effects of 5 years of supervised exercise training (ExComb), and the differential effects of subgroups of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous ... -
Variability of echocardiographic measures of left ventricular diastolic function. The HUNT study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Objective: Investigate variability related to image acquisition and reading process for echocardiographic measures of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function, and its influence on classification of LV diastolic dysfunction ... -
Plasmid-associated antimicrobial resistance and virulence genes in Escherichia coli in a high arctic reindeer subspecies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Objectives In extreme environments, such as the Arctic region, the anthropogenic influence is low and the presence of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria is unexpected. In this study, we screened wild reindeer (Rangifer ... -
