    • Candidate markers for stratification and classification in rheumatoid arthritis 

      Bader, Lucius; Gullaksen, Stein-Erik; Blaser, Nello; Brun, Morten; Bringeland, Gerd Haga; Sulen, Andre; Gjesdal, Clara Gram; Vedeler, Christian A.; Gavasso, Sonia (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-07-05)
      Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune, inflammatory disease, characterized by synovitis in small- and medium-sized joints and, if not treated early and efficiently, joint damage, and destruction. RA is a ...

    • Does sarcopenia predict change in mobility after hip fracture? A multicenter observational study with one-year follow-up 

      Steihaug, Ole Martin; Ranhoff, Anette Hylen; Gjesdal, Clara Gram; Bogen, Bård Erik; Lien, Gunhild; Kristoffersen, Målfrid Holen; Hufthammer, Karl Ove (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-03-05)
      Background: Patients with hip fracture frequently have sarcopenia and are at great risk of loss of mobility. We have investigated if sarcopenia predicts change in mobility after hip fracture. Methods: This is a prospective, ...

    • Interferon (IFN)-γ-mediated inflammation and the kynurenine pathway in relation to bone mineral density: the Hordaland Health Study 

      Apalset, Ellen M.; Gjesdal, Clara Gram; Ueland, Per Magne; Midttun, Øyvind; Ulvik, Arve; Eide, Geir Egil; Meyer, Klaus; Tell, Grethe Seppola (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-04-24)
      The risk of osteoporosis increases in inflammatory disorders. In cell-mediated immune activation, interferon (IFN)-γ stimulates macrophage release of neopterin and increases the activity of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase ...

    • Interferon gamma (IFN-γ)-mediated inflammation and the kynurenine pathway in relation to risk of hip fractures: The Hordaland Health Study 

      Apalset, Ellen M.; Gjesdal, Clara Gram; Ueland, Per Magne; Øyen, Jannike; Meyer, Klaus; Midttun, Øivind; Eide, Geir Egil; Tell, Grethe Seppola (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-05-10)
      Summary The cytokine interferon gamma (IFN-γ) stimulates neopterin release and tryptophan degradation into kynurenines through the kynurenine pathway. High levels of neopterin were associated with increased hip fracture ...

    • Low Serum Levels of 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Predict Hip Fracture in the Elderly: A NOREPOS Study 

      Holvik, Kristin; Ahmed, Luai Awad; Forsmo, Siri; Gjesdal, Clara Gram; Grimnes, Guri; Samuelsen, Sven Ove; Schei, Berit; Blomhoff, Rune; Tell, Grethe S; Meyer, Haakon E (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-08)
      Background: Despite considerable interest, the relationship between circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D and the risk of hip fracture is not fully established. Objective: The objective of the study was to study the association ...

    • Osteoporosis as a Risk Factor for Distal Radial Fractures. A Case-Control Study 

      Øyen, Jannike; Brudvik, Christina; Gjesdal, Clara Gram; Tell, Grethe Seppola; Lie, Stein Atle; Hove, Leiv M. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011)
      Background: Distal radial fractures occur earlier in life than hip and spinal fractures and may be the first sign of osteoporosis. The aims of this case-control study were to compare the prevalence of osteopenia and ...

    • Sarcopenia in patients with hip fracture: A multicenter cross-sectional study 

      Steihaug, Ole Martin; Gjesdal, Clara Gram; Bogen, Bård Erik; Kristoffersen, Målfrid Holen; Lien, Gunhild; Ranhoff, Anette Hylen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-09-13)
      Background: Sarcopenia is prevalent in older persons and is a risk factor for falls, fractures, and mortality. The aim of this study was to determine a) the feasibility of determining sarcopenia in patients with acute hip ...

    • Smoking and body fat mass in relation to bone mineral density and hip fracture: The Hordaland Health Study 

      Øyen, Jannike; Gjesdal, Clara Gram; Nygård, Ottar; Lie, Stein Atle; Meyer, Haakon; Apalset, Ellen M.; Ueland, Per Magne; Pedersen, Eva Kristine Ringdal; Midttun, Øivind; Vollset, Stein Emil; Tell, Grethe Seppola (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-03-25)
      Lower bone mineral density (BMD) in smokers may be attributable to lower body weight or fat mass, rather than to a direct effect of smoking. We analyzed the effects of smoking exposure, assessed by plasma cotinine, and ...

    • Survival and death causes of patients with giant cell arteritis in Western Norway 1972-2012: a retrospective cohort study 

      Brekke, Lene Kristin; Fevang, Bjørg-Tilde Svanes; Diamantopoulos, Andreas P; Assmus, Jörg; Esperø, Elisabet Langseth; Gjesdal, Clara Gram (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-06-25)
      Background: Our objective was to determine the survival and causes of death in a large and well-characterized cohort of patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA). Methods: This is a hospital-based, retrospective, observational ...

    • Urban–Rural Differences in Hip Fracture Mortality: A Nationwide NOREPOS Study 

      Solbakken, Siri Marie; Magnus, Jeanette H.; Meyer, Haakon E; Dahl, Cecilie; Stigum, Hein; Søgaard, Anne-Johanne; Holvik, Kristin; Tell, Grethe S.; Emaus, Nina; Forsmo, Siri; Gjesdal, Clara Gram; Schei, Berit; Vestergaard, Peter; Omsland, Tone Kristin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09-09)
      Higher hip fracture incidence in urban than in rural areas has been demonstrated, but urban–rural differences in posthip fracture mortality have been less investigated, and the results are disparate. Hence, the aims of the ...
