  • Risk factors affecting treatment outcomes for pulmonary tuberculosis in Finland 2007–2014

    Open AccessVirve Korhonen, Outi Lyytikäinen et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    With a high proportion of older population among tuberculosis cases, death is a common treatment outcome in Finland. Comorbidity is an important factor to be incorporated when interpreting and comparing outcome rates. There was a considerable inconsistency in outcome allocation in the monitoring system, which implies that there is need to review the guidelines and provide further training for outcome assessment

  • Alarming development of dual snus and cigarette usage among young Finnish males

    Open AccessMaria Danielsson, Anelma Lammi et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2019

    This study provides better understanding of the complex tobacco habits of young adult males. The simultaneous usage of multiple tobacco products as well as the high tendency to transition from one tobacco product to another should be taken into consideration when planning cessation interventions in health care settings and tobacco control policies at societal levels

  • Analysis of results from the Joint External Evaluation

    Open AccessVin Gupta, John D Kraemer et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2018

    BACKGROUND: The Joint External Evaluation (JEE) is part of the World Health Organization's (WHO) new process to help countries assess their ability to prevent, detect and respond to public health threats such as infectious disease outbreaks, as specified by the International Health Regulations (IHR). How countries are faring on these evaluations is not well known and neither is there any previous assessment of the performance characteristics of t…

  • Public health response to large influx of asylum seekers

    Open AccessPaula Tiittala, Karolina Tuomisto et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    Up to one third of asylum seekers were not reached by screening and screenings were delayed from target timeframes. Children, as a vulnerable population, were screened earlier than adults. To ensure higher screening coverage, infectious disease risks should be reassessed and screening completed at contacts to healthcare during the post-asylum phase of integration. The large influx of asylum seekers to Finland in 2015-2016 tested the country's pub…

  • Treatment outcome of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis in Finland

    Open AccessTuula Vasankari, Pekka Holmström et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2010

    The proportion of favourable outcome was far below the goal set by the WHO. Age and comorbidities, playing an important role in treatment success, are not available in routine outcome data. Therefore, comparisons between countries should be made in cohort analyses incorporating data on comorbidities

  • Risk factors for poor tuberculosis treatment outcome in Finland

    Open AccessTuula Vasankari, Pekka Holmström et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2007

    We observed a significant association with unfavourable outcome for the specialty responsible for treatment being other than pulmonary, but not for the volume of cases, which has implications for system arrangements. Poor outcomes associated with immunosuppression and advanced age, with frequent comorbidity, stress a low threshold of suspicion, availability of rapid diagnostics, and early empiric treatment as probable approaches in attempting to …
