(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Bowel cancer is one of the leading cancer-types in both sexes worldwide. Despite that most new cases and deaths occur in people aged 70 years or older, few clinical trials have investigated the best way to administer ... -
Quality of life of women living with metastatic breast cancer and receiving palliative care: A systematic review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The quality of life (QoL) of women living with metastatic breast cancer and receiving palliative care needs more attention. We reviewed published studies (1992–2019) examining QoL of women receiving palliative care. The ... -
Quality of life, functional status and cost-effectiveness of treatment after femoral shaft fractures in Malawi. A comparison of skeletal traction and intramedullary nailing in a low resource setting.
(Doctoral thesis, 2021-03-26)Introduction: The incidence of femoral shaft fractures in Low- and Middle-Income Countries(LMICs) ranges from 15.7 to 45.5 per 100,000 people per year. A recent study in Malawi, a low-income country (LIC), estimated the ... -
Quality of municipal drinking water and the risk of osteoporotic fractures in Norway

(Doctoral thesis, 2020-02-06)Background Primary care is considered as a vehicle for accelerating progress towards universal health coverage and for building efficient, effective, and integrated healthcare systems. Measuring patients’ experience and ... -
Quality of warfarin therapy and quality of life are improved by self-management for two years
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: Studies from several countries show that self-management of vitamin K antagonist (e.g., warfarin) therapy reduce the risk of complications compared with conventional management. Objectives: The aim of this study ... -
Quantification of the concentration gradient of biomarkers between ovarian carcinoma interstitial fluid and blood
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-12)Background: Tumor interstitial fluid (TIF) rather than plasma should be used in cancer biomarker discovery because of the anticipated higher concentration of locally produced proteins in the tumor microenvironment. ... -
