Assessment of mental health trajectories before and after myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation or stroke: analysis of a cohort study in Tromso, Norway (Tromso Study, 1994-2016)
Conclusion The study indicates that mental health problems among individuals with myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation and stroke may have started to develop several years before the cardiovascular event and suggests that successful CVD rehabilitation may need to consider previous life factors. Future research is recommended to examine whether health promotion measures in a general population also create mental health resilience after a CVD event.

Multimodal individualised intervention to prevent functional decline after stroke: protocol of a randomised controlled trial on long-term follow-up after stroke (LAST-long)
Introduction Multimodal interventions have emerged as new approaches to provide more targeted intervention to reduce functional decline after stroke. Still, the evidence is contradictory. The main objective of the Life After Stroke (LAST)-long trial is to investigate if monthly meetings with a stroke coordinator who offers a multimodal approach to long-term follow-up can prevent functional decline after stroke. Methods and analysis LAST-long is a pragmatic single-blinded, parallel-group randomised controlled trial recruiting participants living in six different municipalities, admitted to four hospitals in Norway. The pat...

Paramedic Norwegian Acute Stroke Prehospital Project (ParaNASPP) study protocol: a stepped wedge randomised trial of stroke screening using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale in the ambulance
Less than 50% of stroke patients in Norway reach hospital within 4 h of symptom onset. Early prehospital identification of stroke and triage to the right level of care may result in more patients receiving acu...

A qualitative description of telemedicine for acute stroke care in Norway: technology is not the issue
Conclusions: Prerequisites for successful integration of telestroke in clinical practice include realization of the collaboration potential in the technology with consistent procedures for training and triage, availability of the equipment, and providing advice beyond questions concerning thrombolysis.

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.

Hjerneslag i Norge 2015 –16 – behandling og resultater.
Hjerneslag i Norge 2015–16 – behandling og resultater. Tidsskr Nor Laegeforen. 2020 Feb 04;140(2): Authors: Varmdal T, Indredavik B, Phan A, Fjærtoft H Abstract BACKGROUND: Treatment of stroke in Norway is decentralised; patients with stroke are treated at 50 different hospitals. We have surveyed the treatment of stroke in these hospitals and collated this with data from the Norwegian Stroke Registry. We wished to investigate whether there was any variation in treatment interventions and treatment outcomes between university hospitals and local hospitals. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A questionnaire...

Veldig tidlig mobilisering ved akutt hjerneslag.
Abstract BACKGROUND: Since the first stroke units were established in the 1990s, early mobilisation has formed a key part of the acute treatment. In the context of an updating of national clinical guidelines for stroke, the Norwegian Directorate of Health commissioned the Institute of Public Health to prepare a systematic review of the efficacy and safety of very early mobilisation (within 24 hours) after stroke, compared with current practice, which is early mobilisation (within 48 hours). MATERIAL AND METHOD: We have written a systematic review based on a previous review from the Cochrane Collaboration publ...

Utredning av pasienter med akutt svimmelhet ved en nevrologisk avdeling.
Abstract BACKGROUND: Acute dizziness may have a number of causes, including cerebrovascular stroke which can present as isolated acute vestibular syndrome. It is recommended that acute episodic dizziness be assessed using positioning tests, and acute persistent dizziness with a focus on the HINTS (Head Impulse, Nystagmus, Test of Skew) battery of tests, which can distinguish cerebrovascular stroke from vestibular neuritis. We wished to identify the prevalence, diagnostic spectrum and approach to acute dizziness in a neurological department. MATERIAL AND METHOD: We undertook a retrospective review of the medic...

Does a history of cardiovascular disease or cancer affect mortality after SARS-CoV-2 infection?
Abstract BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease and cancer have been described as possible risk factors for COVID-19 mortality. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a history of cardiovascular disease or cancer affects the risk of dying after a COVID-19 diagnosis in Norway. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Data were compiled from the Norwegian Surveillance System for Communicable Diseases, the Norwegian Cardiovascular Disease Registry and the Cancer Registry of Norway. Univariable and multivariable regression models were used to calculate both relative and absolute risk. RESULTS: In the first half of 20...
