I.; Breen, Gerome; Zaroff, Jonathan G. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Rupture of an intracranial aneurysm leads to subarachnoid hemorrhage, a severe type of stroke. To discover new risk loci and the genetic architecture of intracranial aneurysms, we performed a cross-ancestry, genome-wide ...
    • A national intercalated medical student research program–student perceptions, satisfaction, and factors associated with pursuing a PhD 

      Sandvei, Marie Søfteland; Jacobsen, Geir Wenberg; Stien, Marianne Heldal; Ræder, Helge; Munthe, Ludvig Andre; Skogen, Vegard (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Background To counteract a decreasing number of physician-scientists, a national intercalated Medical Student Research Programme (MSRP) was launched in Norway in 2002. We aimed to assess whether the students’ favourable ...
    • Obesity does not protect from subarachnoid haemorrhage: Pooled analysis of 3 large prospective Nordic cohorts 

      Rautalin, Ilari; Kaprio, Jaakko; Ingebrigtsen, Tor; Jousilahti, Pekka; Løchen, Maja-Lisa; Romundstad, Pål Richard; Salomaa, Veikko; Vik, Anne; Wilsgaard, Tom; Mathiesen, Ellisiv B.; Sandvei, Marie Søfteland; Korja, Miikka (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)

    • Prognostic Value of Post First-Line Chemotherapy Glasgow Prognostic Score in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer 

      Stokke, Kristin; Sandvei, Marie Søfteland; Grønberg, Bjørn Henning; Jordhøy, Marit Slaaen; Killingberg, Kristin Toftaker; Halvorsen, Tarje Onsøien (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Background: The Glasgow prognostic score (GPS) is an established inflammatory prognostic index in cancer patients. Most studies have only measured GPS at baseline (B-GPS). Effective cancer therapy may reduce inflammation, ...
    • Return to work after surgical clipping versus endovascular treatment for ruptured intracranial aneurysms - A nationwide registry-based study 

      Majewska, Paulina Luiza; Sandvei, Marie Søfteland; Gulati, Sasha; Müller, Tomm Brostrup; Hara, Karen Walseth; Romundstad, Pål Richard; Solheim, Ole (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
