How is prehabilitation and perioperative geriatric care feasible in older persons living with frailty and osteoarthritis
Background: Increasing age of persons undergoing elective surgery and progress in surgery methods have led to a higher number of planned orthopedic surgeries for older persons living with frailty. Frail older persons face a higher risk of post-surgery complications due to their reduced physiological capacity. Identifying frailty using ‘Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment’ holds the potential for an individualized prehabilitation approach. Studies …
Differentiated hospital care for patients with multimorbidity
Background: Multimorbidity poses a significant challenge for healthcare systems. There is an urgent need for targeted interventions for individuals with high complexity to better coordinate care across hospital specialists and to support general practice. However, there is limited evidence on how best to organise this care. We propose a differentiated care approach through our Clinic for Multimorbidity to provide specialised care at the required …
Exploring Experiences of a Co-Designed Prehabilitation and Perioperative Care Intervention for Frail Older Adults Undergoing Elective Orthopaedic Surgery
Background: Frail older adults undergoing elective orthopaedic surgery are at heightened risk of postoperative complications and delayed recovery. To address these risks, we co-designed a prehabilitation and perioperative care intervention tailored specifically to the needs of frail older patients, with input from both patients and healthcare professionals. This study aimed to explore the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention, focusin…
Advancing constipation care through technologies - the development of a digital patient education programme
Background: Chronic constipation affects 15% of adults, impacting quality of life and burdening healthcare systems with frequent and costly visits. Despite effective treatments, constipation management is often neglected. We need innovative digital solutions that reduce suffering and improve healthcare cost-effectiveness by enabling better self-management of constipation. Approach: We developed the Constipation Care Guide (CCG), an app-based digi…
Pre-departure PCR testing of travellers for Sars-CoV-2 was an effective tool in limiting transmission in Greenland during the early phases of the Covid-19 pandemic
Implementing pre-departure PCR testing for SARS-CoV-2 among travellers can be effective in the early stages of outbreaks, particularly in geographical regions like Greenland where community transmission had not yet occurred. Our findings suggest that pre-departure screening of travellers contributed to delaying community transmission in Greenland compared to most other countries, thereby reducing the COVID-19 disease burden
The Effect of Coordinating the Outpatient Treatment across Medical Specialities for Patients With Multimorbidity
Can an intervention of coordinating outpatient appointments to same-day visits combined with a multidisciplinary conference influence the utilisation of healthcare services and the patient-assessed integration of healthcare services and treatment burden among patients with multimorbidity
Multimorbidity and determinants for initiating outpatient trajectories
A high number of chronic conditions, male gender, high age, low educational level and unemployment were determinants for initiation of an outpatient trajectory. The rate was modified by the existing number of outpatient trajectories. The results may help identify those with multimorbidity at greatest risk of having a new hospital outpatient trajectory initiated
Clinic for Multimorbidity
The CM offers innovative care by bridging and exceeding conventional boundaries of disciplines, professions, organizations, and primary and specialized care. The patients represented a very complex group, requiring many examinations and involvement of several specialists
Improving Health Care for Patients with Multimorbidity
It seems feasible to set up an intervention for patients attending several hospital outpatient clinics. Future interventions should focus on selecting patients in greatest need for alignment of appointments
In the Meantime
Based on ethnographic fieldwork among Danes undergoing CT scans as part of follow-up testing for potential lung cancer, we explore how access to technologies generates diagnostic uncertainty and trends of continuous testing. Our research is set in the context of a welfare state that has cultivated forms of government whose public health branches focus on early diagnosis and cancer control. Many studies on biotechnologies emphasise subject-making …
Am I fine
Woven into the fabric of human existence is the possibility of death and suffering from disease. This essential vulnerability calls forth processes of meaning making, of grappling with uncertainty and morality. In this article we explore the uncertainty and ambiguity that exists in the space between bodily sensations and symptoms of illness. Bodily sensations have the potential to become symptoms of disease or to be absorbed into ordinariness, pr…

Development and validation of the ExPRESS instrument for primary health care providers’ evaluation of external supervision
BACKGROUND: External supervision of primary health care facilities to monitor and improve services is common in low-income countries. Currently there are no tools to measure the quality of support in external supervision in these countries. AIM: To develop a provider-reported instrument to assess the support delivered through external supervision in Rwanda and other countries. METHODS: "External supervision: Provider Evaluation of Supervisor Supp…
The contribution of a negative colorectal screening test result to symptom appraisal and help‐seeking behaviour among patients subsequently diagnosed with an interval colorectal cancer
BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programmes using a guaiac faecal occult blood test (gFOBt) reduce CRC mortality. Interval cancers are diagnosed between screening rounds: reassurance from a negative gFOBt has the potential to influence the pathway to diagnosis of an interval colorectal cancer. METHODS: Twenty-six semi-structured face-to-face interviews were carried out in Scotland and England, with individuals diagnosed with an inter…

Cancer-before-cancer
Approaching the presence of cancer in everyday life in terms of mythologies, the article examines what cancer is and how cancer-related potentialities are enacted and embodied in the context of contemporary regimes of anticipation. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in a suburban Danish middle-class community among people who were not immediately afflicted by cancer, we describe different and paradoxical cancer mythologies and show how they provide …
Understanding of a negative bowel screening result and potential impact on future symptom appraisal and help‐seeking behaviour
BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening using a faecal occult blood test (FOBt) has the potential to reduce cancer-related mortality. Symptom vigilance remains crucial as a proportion of cancers will be diagnosed between screening rounds. A negative FOBt has the potential to influence how participants respond to future symptoms of CRC. OBJECTIVE: To explore (i) understanding of a negative FOBt and (ii) the potential impact of a negative FOB…
Noisy Lives, Noisy Bodies
Social inequality in cancer survival is well known, and within public health promotion enhancing awareness of cancer symptoms is often promoted as a way to reduce social differences in stage of cancer at the time of diagnosis. In order to add to our knowledge of what may lie behind social inequalities in cancer survival encountered in many high-income countries, this article explores the situatedness of bodily sensations. Based on comparative eth…
The Good Citizen
This article explores how healthcare-seeking practices and the transformation of bodily sensations into symptoms are embedded in what we term a 'moral sensescape' of everyday life. Based on fieldwork in a suburban middle-class neighbourhood in Denmark, we discuss how a moral relation between the Danish welfare state and the middle-class population is embodied in a responsibility for individual health. Overall, we identify a striving to be a 'good…
"Resisting "Reason
Social differences in health and illness are well documented in Denmark. However, little is known about how health practices are manifested in the everyday lives of different social classes. We propose acts of resistance and formation of health subjectivities as helpful concepts to develop our understanding of how dominant health discourses are appropriated by different social classes and transformed into different practices promoting health and …
Serious Mental Illness and Risk for Hospitalizations and Rehospitalizations for Ambulatory Care-sensitive Conditions in Denmark
BACKGROUND: Hospitalizations for ambulatory care-sensitive conditions (ACSCs) and early rehospitalizations increase health care costs. OBJECTIVES: To determine if individuals with serious mental illnesses (SMIs) (eg, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder) are at increased risk for hospitalizations for ACSCs, and rehospitalization for the same or another ACSC, within 30 days. RESEARCH DESIGN: Population-based cohort study. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 5.9…
Class, Social Suffering, and Health Consumerism
In recent years an extensive social gradient in cancer outcome has attracted much attention, with late diagnosis proposed as one important reason for this. Whereas earlier research has investigated health care seeking among cancer patients, these social differences may be better understood by looking at health care seeking practices among people who are not diagnosed with cancer. Drawing on long-term ethnographic fieldwork among two different soc…
Awareness of risk factors for cancer
This study supports findings from other European studies that generally demonstrate modest public awareness of many established cancer risk factors. Efforts should be made to improve awareness of the cancer risk factors HPV-infection, low fruit and vegetable intake and alcohol intake, which showed particularly low awareness in both countries. Previous studies indicate that repeated, broad campaigns are successful, and suggest that a multimedia ap…
Self-reported symptoms and healthcare seeking in the general population -exploring “The Symptom Iceberg”
Prevalence of symptoms and GP contacts are common in this overview of 44 different self-reported symptoms. For almost 2/3 of the reported symptoms no gender differences were found concerning the proportion leading to GP contacts. An enhanced understanding of healthcare seeking decisions may assist healthcare professionals in identifying patients who are at risk of postponing contact to the GP and may help development of health campaigns targeting…

Global Health Care-seeking Discourses Facing Local Clinical Realities
Using cancer as an example and drawing on Pierre Bourdieu's concepts of field and on prolonged fieldwork in Danish general medical practice settings, we examine how discourses about what counts as legitimate help-seeking practices are negotiated in local clinical encounters. Overall, we identify competition between two discourses on help-seeking practices. This competition is present most when people seek help with unspecific, vague, or diffuse i…

Understanding the inverse care law
A higher propensity of GP burnout was found among GPs with a high share of deprived patients on their lists compared to GPs with a low share of deprived patients. This applied in particular to patients on social benefits. This indicates that beside lower supply of GPs in deprived areas, people in these areas may also be served by GPs who are in higher risk of burnout and not performing optimally
