A new acoustic coupling fluid with ability to reduce ultrasound imaging artefacts in brain tumour surgery - a phase I study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background Anovel acoustic coupling fluid (ACF), with the potential to reduce surgically induced image artefacts during intraoperative ultrasound imaging in brain tumour surgery, has been evaluated with respect to image ... -
Accuracy and Complication Rates of External Ventricular Drain Placement With Twist Drill and Bolt System Versus Standard Trephine and Tunnelation: A Retrospective Population-Based Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background: An external ventricular drain (EVD) is typically indicated in the presence of hydrocephalus and increased intracranial pressure (ICP). Procedural challenges have prompted the development of different methods ... -
Brain infarctions after glioma surgery: prevalence, radiological characteristics and risk factors
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background: Prevalence, radiological characteristics, and risk factors for peritumoral infarctions after glioma surgery are not much studied. In this study, we assessed shape, volume, and prevalence of peritumoral infarctions ... -
The histological representativeness of glioblastoma tissue samples
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background Glioblastomas (GBMs) are known for having a vastly heterogenous histopathology. Several studies have shown that GBMs can be histologically undergraded due to sampling errors of small tissue samples. We sought ... -
The impact of authors’ medical specialty on publication patterns and published results of adjuvant radiotherapy for WHO grade 2 meningiomas—a systematic review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background The role of adjuvant radiotherapy after gross total resection (GTR) of WHO grade 2 meningioma remains unclear, and conflicting results have been published. We hypothesized that authors’ medical specialties could ... -
Incidence and Case Fatality of Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Admitted to Hospital Between 2008 and 2014 in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background To provide age- and sex-specific incidence and case fatality rates for non-traumatic aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) in Norway. We also studied time trends in incidence and case fatality, as well as ... -
Neurosurgical treatment and outcome patterns of meningioma in Sweden: a nationwide registry-based study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background Surgery is the main treatment modality for intracranial meningiomas, but data on short-term surgical outcome are limited. The aim of this Swedish nationwide registry-based study was to benchmark the 30-day ... -
Primary versus recurrent surgery for glioblastoma-a prospective cohort study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background: There is currently limited evidence for surgery in recurrent glioblastoma (GBM). Our aim was to compare primary and recurrent surgeries, regarding changes in perioperative, generic health-related quality of ... -
Revision and complication rates in adult shunt surgery: a single-institution study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background: CSF diversion with shunt placement is frequently associated with need for later revisions as well as surgical complications. We sought to review revision and complication rates following ventriculoperitoneal, ... -
Smoking habits and detection rate of unruptured intracranial aneurysms and incidence rate of subarachnoid haemorrhage in Norway between 2008 and 2015
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the detection rate of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) and incidence of aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) in relation to the rapidly changing smoking rates ... -
Surgery for Extraforaminal Lumbar Disc Herniation: A Single Center Comparative Observational Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background Surgery on extraforaminal lumbar disc herniation (ELDH) is a commonly performed procedure. Operating on this type of herniation is known to come with more difficulties than on the frequently seen paramedian ... -
Surgery for herniated lumbar disc in private vs public hospitals: A pragmatic comparative effectiveness study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background There is limited evidence on the comparative performance of private and public healthcare. Our aim was to compare outcomes following surgery for lumbar disc herniation (LDH) in private versus public hospitals. ... -
Survival of glioblastoma in relation to tumor location: a statistical tumor atlas of a population-based cohort
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Purpose Previous studies on the effect of tumor location on overall survival in glioblastoma have found conflicting results. Based on statistical maps, we sought to explore the effect of tumor location on overall survival ...
