Age, risk, and life expectancy in Norwegian intensive care: a registry-based population modelling study.
Lindemark, Frode; Haaland, Øystein Ariansen; Kvåle, Reidar; Flaatten, Hans; Johansson, Kjell Arne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-05-26)Background: Knowledge about the expected life years gained from intensive care unit (ICU) admission could inform priority-setting decisions across groups of ICU patients and across medical specialties. The aim of this study ... -
A calibration study of SAPS II with Norwegian intensive care registry data
Haaland, Øystein Ariansen; Lindemark, Frode; Flaatten, Hans; Kvåle, Reidar; Johansson, Kjell Arne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-05-12)Background Mortality prediction is important in intensive care. The Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) II is a tool for predicting such mortality. However, the original SAPS II is poorly calibrated to current intensive ... -
Costs and expected gain in lifetime health from intensive care versus general ward care of 30,712 individual patients: A distribution-weighted cost-effectiveness analysis
Lindemark, Frode; Haaland, Øystein Ariansen; Kvåle, Reidar; Flaatten, Hans; Norheim, Ole Frithjof; Johansson, Kjell Arne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-08-21)Background: Clinicians, hospital managers, policy makers, and researchers are concerned about high costs, increased demand, and variation in priorities in the intensive care unit (ICU). The objectives of this modelling ... -
Early diagnosis of sepsis in emergency departments, time to treatment, and association with mortality: An observational study
Husabø, Gunnar; Nilsen, Roy Miodini; Flaatten, Hans; Solligård, Erik; Frich, Jan C; Bondevik, Gunnar Tschudi; Braut, Geir Sverre; Walshe, Kieran; Harthug, Stig; Hovlid, Einar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-01-22)Background: Early recognition of sepsis is critical for timely initiation of treatment. The first objective of this study was to assess the timeliness of diagnostic procedures for recognizing sepsis in emergency departments. ... -
Effects of external inspection on sepsis detection and treatment: a study protocol for a quasiexperimental study with a stepped-wedge design
Hovlid, Einar; Frich, Jan C; Walshe, Kieran; Nilsen, Roy Miodini; Flaatten, Hans; Braut, Geir Sverre; Helgeland, Jon; Teig, Inger Lise; Harthug, Stig (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Introduction: Inspections are widely used in health care as a means to improve the health services delivered to patients. Despite their widespread use, there is little evidence of their effect. The mechanisms for how ... -
Effects of external inspections on sepsis detection and treatment: a stepped-wedge study With cluster-level randomisation
Husabø, Gunnar; Nilsen, Roy Miodini; Solligård, Erik; Flaatten, Hans; Walshe, Kieran; Frich, Jan C; Bondevik, Gunnar Tschudi; Braut, Geir Sverre; Helgeland, Jon; Harthug, Stig; Hovlid, Einar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Objective To evaluate the effects of external inspections on (1) hospital emergency departments’ clinical processes for detecting and treating sepsis and (2) length of hospital stay and 30-day mortality. Design Incomplete ... -
Frailty and survival in elderly intensive care patients in Norway
Andersen, Finn Husøy; Haaland, Øystein Ariansen; Klepstad, Pål; Flaatten, Hans (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background Today, 10%-15% of Norwegian intensive care patients are ≥80 years. This proportion will increase significantly over the next 20 years, but it is unlikely that resources for intensive care increase correspondingly. ...
