Implementing a Standardized Care Pathway Integrating Oncology, Palliative Care and Community Care in a Rural Region of Mid-Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Introduction To improve quality across levels of care, we developed a standardized care pathway (SCP) integrating palliative and oncology services for hospitalized and home-dwelling palliative cancer patients in a rural ... -
Implementing a transdiagnostic group-based occupational rehabilitation program for work disabled individuals with chronic pain, chronic fatigue and common mental disorders: Feasibility of the program, patterns of work participation and the effect of adding telephone follow-up
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2019:364, Doctoral thesis, 2019) -
Implementing the European Renal Best Practice Guidelines suggests that prediction equations work well to differentiate risk of end-stage renal disease vs. death in older patients with low estimated glomerular filtration rate
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Recent European guidelines suggest using the kidney failure risk equation (KFRE) and mortality risk equation for kidney disease (MREK) to guide decisions on whether elderly patients with chronic kidney disease should be ... -
Implications of Peak Oxygen Consumption and Visceral Adipose Tissue on the Metabolic Syndrome: A matter of intensity, duration and frequency?: A Randomized Controlled Trial
(Master thesis, 2014)The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a socioeconomic concern on a worldwide scale. Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) accumulation is a fundamental component of the MetS, and the prevalence of abdominally obese individuals steadily ... -
The importance of concomitant mitral regurgitation for estimates of mitral valve area by pressure half time in patients with chronic rheumatic heart disease
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Aims Aim was to study how concomitant mitral regurgitation (MR) assessed by qualitative and quantitative methods influence mitral valve area (MVA) calculations by the pressure half time method (MVAPHT) compared to ... -
Importance of length and external diameter in left ventricular geometry. Normal values from the HUNT Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Background: We aimed to study left ventricular (LV) geometry assessed by length (LVWL), external diameter (LVEDD) and relative wall thickness (RWT) in relation to age, body size and gender in healthy individuals. Methods: ... -
Improper monitoring and deviations from physiologic treatment goals in patients with brain injury in the early phases of emergency care.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and intracerebral- and subarachnoid hemorrhage (ICH/SAH) are conditions associated with high mortality and morbidity. The aim of this study was to ... -
Improper monitoring and deviations from physiologic treatment goals in unconscious patients with brain injury in the early phases of emergency care
(Master thesis, 2016)Introduction: Traumatic brain injury (TBI), out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and intracerebral- and subarachnoid haemorrhage (ICH/SAH) are acute conditions that may impair brain circulation and oxygenation. Physiological ... -
