      Borgen, Tove Tveitan; Bjørnerem, Åshild; Solberg, Lene Bergendal; Andreasen, Camilla; Figved, Wender; Hübschle, Lars Michael; Stenbro, May-Britt; Basso, Trude; Dahl, cecilie; Stutzer, Jens-Meinhard; Frihagen, Frede; Eriksen, Erik Fink; Nordsletten, Lars; Hansen, Ann Kristin; Apalset, Ellen Margrete; Gjertsen, Jan Erik; Lund, Ida (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Summary: Determinants of trabecular bone score (TBS) and vertebral fractures assessed semiquantitatively (SQ1–SQ3) were studied in 496 women with fragility fractures. TBS was associated with age, parental hip fracture, ...
    • Impact of Total Hip Replacements on the Incidence of Hip Fractures in Norway During 1999–2019. A Norwegian Epidemiologic Osteoporosis Studies (NOREPOS) Study 

      Kjeldgaard, Helena Kames; Meyer, Haakon Eduard; O’Flaherty, Martin; Apalset, Ellen Margrete; Dahl, Cecilie; Emaus, Nina; Fenstad, Anne Marie; Furnes, Ove Nord; Gjertsen, Jan-Erik; Hoff, Mari; Schei, Berit; Søgaard, Anne-Johanne; Tell, Grethe Seppola; Holvik, Kristin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The knowledge about why hip fracture rates in Norway have declined is sparse. Concurrent with decreasing hip fracture rates, the rates of total hip replacements (THRs) have increased. We wanted to investigate if hip fracture ...
    • Individual Variation in Adaptive Immune Responses and Risk of Hip Fracture-A NOREPOS Population-Based Cohort Study 

      Dahl, Jesper; Holvik, Kristin; Heldal, Einar; Grimnes, Guri; Hoff, Mari; Finnes, Trine; Apalset, Ellen Margrete; Meyer, Haakon E (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Immune‐mediated bone loss significantly impacts fracture risk in patients with autoimmune disease, but to what extent individual variations in immune responses affect fracture risk on a population level is unknown. To ...
    • Initiation of anti-osteoporotic drugs in high-risk female patients starting glucocorticoid treatment: a population study in Norway 

      Apalset, Ellen Margrete; Lunde, Astrid; Hoff, Mari; Ehrenstein, Vera; Tell, Grethe S. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Summary: Glucocorticoid use is a risk factor for osteoporosis and fractures. We studied whether women initiating glucocorticoid treatment also started anti-osteoporotic treatment, according to clinical guidelines. Women ...
    • No association between osteoporosis and AO classification of distal radius fractures: an observational study of 289 patients 

      Hjelle, Anja Myhre; Gjertsen, Jan-Erik; Apalset, Ellen Margrete; Nilsen, Roy Miodini; Lober, Anja; Tell, Grethe S.; Pawel, Mielnik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-12)
      Background: It is mechanically plausible that osteoporosis leads to more severe peripheral fractures, but studies investigating associations between BMD and radiographically verified complexity of distal radius fractures ...
    • Post-Fracture Risk Assessment: Target The Centrally Sited Fractures First! A Sub-Study of NoFRACT 

      Borgen, Tove Tveitan; Bjørnerem, Åshild; Solberg, Lene Bergendal; Andreasen, Camilla; Brunborg, Cathrine; Stenbro, May-Britt; Hübschle, Lars Michael; Froholdt, Anne; Figved, Wender; Apalset, Ellen Margrete; Gjertsen, Jan-Erik; Basso, Trude; Lund, Ida; Hansen, Ann Kristin; Stutzer, Jens-Meinhard; Omsland, Tone Kristin; Nordsletten, Lars; Frihagen, Frede Jon; Eriksen, Erik Fink (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      The location of osteoporotic fragility fractures adds crucial information to post‐fracture risk estimation. Triaging patients according to fracture site for secondary fracture prevention can therefore be of interest to ...
    • Target Values and Daytime Variation of Bone Turnover Markers in Monitoring Osteoporosis Treatment After Fractures 

      Borgen, Tove Tveitan; Solberg, Lene Bergendal; Lauritzen, Trine; Apalset, Ellen Margrete; Bjørnerem, Åshild Marit; Eriksen, Erik Fink (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The serum bone turnover markers (BTM) procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP) and C-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTX) are recommended for monitoring adherence and response of antiresorptive ...
    • Validation of forearm fracture diagnoses in administrative patient registers 

      Omsland, Tone Kristin; Solberg, Lene Bergendal; Bjørnerem, Åshild Marit; Borgen, Tove Tveitan; Andreasen, Camilla; Wisløff, Torbjørn; Hagen, Gunhild; Basso, Trude; Gjertsen, Jan-Erik; Apalset, Ellen Margrete; Figved, Wender; Stutzer, Jens-Meinhard; Nissen, Frida Igland; Hansen, Ann Kristin; Joakimsen, Ragnar Martin; Figari, Elisa; Peel, Geoffrey; Rashid, Ali A.; Khoshkhabari, Jashar; Eriksen, Erik Fink; Nordsletten, Lars; Frihagen, Frede; Dahl, Cecilie (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Summary: The validity of forearm fracture diagnoses recorded in five Norwegian hospitals was investigated using image reports and medical records as gold standard. A relatively high completeness and correctness of the ...
