Barriers to healthcare access and continuity of care among Ukrainian war refugees in Europe
Introduction: The Russian invasion of Ukraine displaced over 14 million people. By 2024, around 6 million Ukrainian refugees settled in Europe under the EU Temporary Protection Directive, providing permit of residence, work and health care. This influx strained European healthcare systems, particularly in addressing acute injuries. As the stay of refugees in EU countries prolongs, the management of chronic conditions becomes increasingly importan…
Machine learning-driven development of a disease risk score for Covid-19 hospitalization and mortality
Aims: To develop a disease risk score for COVID-19-related hospitalization and mortality in Sweden and externally validate it in Norway. Method: We employed linked data from the national health registries of Sweden and Norway to conduct our study. We focused on individuals in Sweden with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection through RT-PCR testing up to August 2022 as our study cohort. Within this group, we identified hospitalized cases as those who wer…
Unexplained Acute Chest Pain in Young Adults
BACKGROUND: Patients with unexplained chest pain are commonly revisiting an emergency department with various symptoms, but comprehensive long-term studies are lacking. METHODS: A total of 150 young adults (aged 18-40 years) with unexplained chest pain who presented at an emergency unit for 16 weeks in mid-1980s were included in a prospective cohort study. An age- and sex-matched control group was randomly selected from the same area. Data were r…
High prevalence of diagnosis of diabetes, depression, anxiety, hypertension, asthma and COPD in the total population of Stockholm, Sweden – a challenge for public health
The prevalence of common diseases in the population can be estimated by combining data gathered during consecutive years from primary care, specialist outpatient care and inpatient care. However, accuracy of disease prevalence is highly dependent on the quality of the data. The high prevalence of the six diagnoses analysed in this study calls for preventive action to minimize suffering and costs to society
