What determines who gets cardiac resynchronization therapy in Europe? A comparison between ESC-HF-LT registry, SwedeHF registry, and ESC-CRT Survey II
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Aims Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is effective in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and dyssynchrony but is underutilized. In a cohort study, we identified clinical, organizational, and ... -
What is the best preoperative imaging for endometrial cancer?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-04)Although endometrial cancer is surgicopathologically staged, preoperative imaging is recommended for diagnostic work-up to tailor surgery and adjuvant treatment. For preoperative staging, imaging by transvaginal ultrasound ... -
White Matter Hyperintensities and the Course of Depressive Symptoms in Elderly People with Mild Dementia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)Objectives: To explore the relationship between white matter hyperintensities (WMH) and the prevalence and course of depressive symptoms in mild Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Lewy body dementia. Design: This is a prospective ... -
WHO multicentre study for the development of growth standards from fetal life to childhood: the fetal component
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-05-02)Background: In 2006 WHO presented the infant and child growth charts suggested for universal application. However, major determinants for perinatal outcomes and postnatal growth are laid down during antenatal development. ... -
A whole blood based resuscitation strategy in civilian medical services: Experience from a Norwegian hospital in the period 2017–2020
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background: Civilian and military guidelines recommend early balanced transfusion to patients with life-threatening bleeding. Low titer group O whole blood was introduced as the primary blood product for resuscitation of ... -
Whole blood RNA sequencing identifies transcriptional differences between primary sclerosing cholangitis and ulcerative colitis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background & Aims: Genetic and microbiome studies across patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and ulcerative colitis (UC) have indicated that UC in PSC is a separate disease entity to primary UC, but expression ... -
Whole genome sequencing of clinical isolates of Giardia lamblia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-10-29)Clinical isolates from protozoan parasites such as Giardia lamblia are at present practically impossible to culture. By using simple cyst purification methods, we show that Giardia whole genome sequencing of clinical stool ... -
Whole-genome sequencing identifies new candidate genes for nonobstructive azoospermia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background: Genetic causes that lead to spermatogenetic failure in patients with nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) have not been yet completely established. Objective: To identify low-frequency NOA-associated single ... -
The WID-BC-index identifies women with primary poor prognostic breast cancer based on DNA methylation in cervical samples
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Genetic and non-genetic factors contribute to breast cancer development. An epigenome-based signature capturing these components in easily accessible samples could identify women at risk. Here, we analyse the DNA methylome ... -
Williams Syndrome neuroanatomical score associates with GTF2IRD1 in large-scale magnetic resonance imaging cohorts: A proof of concept for multivariate endophenotypes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-06-08)Despite great interest in using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for studying the effects of genes on brain structure in humans, current approaches have focused almost entirely on predefined regions of interest and had ... -
Within-person reproducibility of proteoforms related to inflammation and renal dysfunction
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Protein biomarkers and microheterogeneity have attracted increasing attention in epidemiological and clinical research. Knowledge of within-person reproducibility over time is paramount to determine whether a single ... -
Within-sibship genome-wide association analyses decrease bias in estimates of direct genetic effects
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Estimates from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of unrelated individuals capture effects of inherited variation (direct effects), demography (population stratification, assortative mating) and relatives (indirect ... -
