Validation of intracranial hemorrhage in the Norwegian Patient  Registry
ConclusionCoding of ICH discharge diagnoses in the NPR is of high quality, showing that data from this registry can safely be used for medical research. Administrative and clinical health registries are established to monitor and manage healthcare services. Data from these registries can be used in epidemiological studies as they are easily obtained, include high number of patients, and provide both high external validity and statistical power. However, in order to be useful in research, health registries need to have accurate diagnoses and sufficient coverage in the population they serve. We validated coding of intracran...

The Predictive Capacity of the Buffalo Concussion Treadmill Test After Sport-Related Concussion in Adolescents
Conclusion This study found that the ΔHR (HRt minus resting HR) correlated with duration of clinical recovery in participants who were prescribed relative rest or a placebo-stretching program but not for participants prescribed sub-threshold aerobic exercise. A ΔHR of ≤50 bpm on the BCTT was 73% sensitive and 78% specific for predicting delayed recovery in concussed adolescents prescribed the current standard of care (i.e., cognitive and physical rest). This has implications for planning team and school activities in adolescents who sustain SRC. Ethics Statement This study was carried out in acco...
