Length of sick leave – Why not ask the sick-listed? Sick-listed individuals predict their length of sick leave more accurately than professionals
This study demonstrates that the accuracy of a prognosis based on medical documentation in sickness absence forms, is lower than that of one based on direct communication with the sick-listed themselves
Do general practitioner hospitals reduce the utilisation of general hospital beds? Evidence from Finnmark county in north Norway
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To assess whether populations with access to general practitioner hospitals (GP hospitals) utilise general hospitals less than populations without such access. DESIGN: Observational study comparing the total rates of admissions and of occupied bed days in general hospitals between populations with and without access to GP hospitals. Comparisons were also made separately for diagnoses commonly encountered in GP hospitals. SETTING:…

Aetiology of peptic ulcer
STUDY OBJECTIVE--To analyse simultaneously the effect of several risk factors for peptic ulcer. DESIGN--Cohort study where all patients with new or incident peptic ulcers in a well defined population were registered for a seven year period. The follow up started with a comprehensive health survey including a questionnaire on diet, lifestyle, psychological and social conditions, and health. Relative risks, both sex specific and separate, for gastr…
Determinants and dimensions involved in self-evaluation of health
The Tromsø study
The aim of this study was to examine factors influencing decisions involved in i) patient-intiated visits to general practitioners and ii) provider-initiated use of referral services. The analyses were performed with regression models on a set of data from a comprehensive population study of 7369 men aged 20-61 and 6832 women aged 20-56. Marked gender differences appeared in both patient-initiated and physician-initiated health care use. Various …

Serum lipids and glucose concentrations in subjects using antihypertensive drugs
As a side project to a study of coronary risk factors 4878 men and women aged 20-53 were interviewed about present and previous use of antihypertensive drugs. Serum lipid and glucose concentrations were compared in 124 present users, 73 previous users, and 124 controls matched for age, sex, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Users of betablockers, thiazides, and other antihypertensive drugs had higher total cholesterol, triglycerides, and…
Distribution of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol according to age, sex, and ethnic origin
As a part of a survey for cardiovascular risk factors high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was determined in 15 942 men and women aged 20-53. Women had on average 0.24 mmol/l higher HDL-C concentration than men. The difference was of the same magnitude at all ages. For both sexes HDL-C increased with age. The increase was partly influenced by other variables affecting the HDL-C concentration. After adjusting for the effect of height, weig…
