A qualitative description of telemedicine for acute stroke care in Norway: technology is not the issue

Validity of self-reported myocardial infarction and stroke in regions with Sami and Norwegian populations: the SAMINOR 1 Survey and the CVDNOR project
Conclusions The sensitivity and PPV of SMI were high and moderate, respectively; for SRS, both of these measures were moderate. Our results show that SMI from the SAMINOR 1 Survey may be used in aetiological/analytical studies in this population due to a high IHD-specific PPV. The SAMINOR 1 questionnaire may also be used to estimate the prevalence of acute myocardial infarction and acute stroke.

Effects of introducing a fee for “bed blockers” on adverse events among patients hospitalized for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart failure, hip fracture and stroke
Conclusion: Overall, there is no strong evidence to suggest that the Norwegian healthcare Coordination Reform is functioning in a manner that exacerbates risk for readmissions or death among the patients considered in this study. Even so, patients with heart failure appear somewhat vulnerable.   Published on 2018-10-23 00:00:00

Implementation of a telemedicine, stroke evaluation service; a qualitative study
CONCLUSIONS: The service was perceived as valuable to the local community, providing a sense of healthcare security and equitability. Management's involvement, flexibility, and coordination appears to be a key factor for successful implementation and long-term sustainability of the service.PMID:35964091 | DOI:10.1186/s12913-022-08428-x

Vascular risk factors and staging of atherosclerosis in patients and controls: The Norwegian Stroke in the Young Study
CONCLUSION: Vascular risk factors are highly prevalent in young- and middle-aged patients and controls, and are predictors of established atherosclerosis at study inclusion. Focus on main modifiable vascular RFs in primary prevention, and early and aggressive secondary treatment of patients are necessary to reduce further progression of atherosclerosis.PMID:36082261 | PMC:PMC9446327 | DOI:10.1177/23969873221098582
