Long-term follow-up of IgA nephropathy: clinicopathological features and predictors of outcomes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background: The establishment of the Oxford classification and newly developed prediction models have improved the prognostic information for immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN). Considering new treatment options, optimizing ... -
Long-term follow-up of self-reported mental health and health-related quality of life in adults born extremely preterm
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background Survival of extremely preterm (EP) birth is increasing, but long-term consequences are still largely unknown as their high survival rates are recent achievements. Aims To examine self-reported mental health, and ... -
Long-term impact of gastropexy on use of acid-reducing medication, second operations for gastroesophageal reflux and subjective reflux symptoms after sleeve gastrectomy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)We investigated whether adding gastropexy to sleeve gastrectomy (SG) reduced gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in patients operated for severe obesity, assessed mainly by use of anti-reflux medication (ARM) and second ... -
