External causes are leading causes of death in women of reproductive age
BACKGROUND: There is a known association between pre-eclampsia (PE) and other hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), and increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Reproductive history is associated with maternal mortality. We studied the causes of death in women of reproductive age and how a history of HDP affects mortality. METHODS: We collected and analysed the perinatal data of national registers in a study of 555 345 women born in …
Rural–Urban differences in Use of Rhythm Control Therapies in Patients with Incident Atrial Fibrillation
Background: Rural-urban disparities have been reported in the access, utilization, and quality of healthcare. We aimed to assess whether use of antiarrhythmic therapies (AATs) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) differs between those with rural and urban residence. Methods: The registry-based FinACAF cohort covers all patients with AF from all levels of care in Finland. Patients were divided into rural and urban categories and into urbaniza…
Income and outcomes of patients with incident atrial fibrillation
BACKGROUND: Socioeconomic disparities can be associated with adverse outcomes in patients with cardiovascular diseases. The impact of personal income on the outcomes of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) is unclear. METHODS: Nationwide observational registry-based study on patients with incident AF in Finland during 2007-2018. RESULTS: 203 154 patients (mean age 73.0±13.5; females 49.0%) were diagnosed with incident AF during the study period…
Population-level indicators associated with hormonal contraception use
Sociodemographic differences in relation to HC use exist across Finnish municipalities. Municipal indicators of social structure, health and welfare, and investment in and use of healthcare services are related to HC use
Analysis of weekend effect on mortality by medical specialty in Helsinki University Hospital over a 14-year period
Trends and predictors in all-cause and cause-specific mortality in diabetic and reference populations during 21 years of follow-up
Background Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) have a markedly higher overall mortality from coronary heart disease (CHD), as well as many other causes of death like cancer. Since diabetes is a multisystem disease, this fact together with the increased lifespan among individuals with diabetes may also lead to the emergence of other diabetes-related complications and ultimately to diversification of the causes of death. Methods The study populati…
Daylight saving time transitions and hospital treatments due to accidents or manic episodes
One-hour transitions do not increase the incidence of manic episodes or accidents which require hospital treatment
Completed Suicide After a Suicide Attempt
OBJECTIVE: Attempted suicide is the strongest known predictor of completed suicide. However, suicide risk declines over time after an attempt, and it is unclear how long the risk persists. Risk estimates are almost exclusively based on studies of less than 10 years of follow-up. METHOD: The authors followed a cohort of 100 consecutive self-poisoned patients in Helsinki in 1963, for whom forensically classified causes of death during the following…
Incidence of cataract operations in Finnish male smokers unaffected by alpha tocopherol or beta carotene supplements
OBJECTIVE: To examine the effect of alpha tocopherol and beta carotene supplementation on the incidence of age related cataract extraction. SETTING: The Alpha-tocopherol Beta-carotene (ATBC) Study was a randomised, double blind, placebo controlled, 2 x 2 factorial trial conducted in south western Finland. The cataract surgery study population of 28,934 male smokers 50-69 years of age at the start. INTERVENTION: Random assignment to one of four re…
