1. 16. Long-term follow-up of patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis

   Författare :Caroline Heijl; Njurmedicin; []
   Nyckelord :Anca-associated vasculitis;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis is based on long-term follow-up results from two cohorts of patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis; one cohort with 535 patients originally included in 4 European randomized clinical trials (papers I and II) and one Swedish population-based cohort including 195 patients (papers III and IV). Two areas are covered in the two cohorts, respectively; the assessment of mortality, prognostic factors and causes of death in the two cohorts (paper I and III) and the assessment of malignancy risk compared with a matched general population (papers II and IV).

3. 17. Sagittal synostosis - surgical outcomes and long-term follow up

   Författare :Sara Fischer; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; sagittal synostosis; craniofacial surgery; spring-assisted surgery; intracranial volume; cephalic index;

   Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to evaluate and compare surgical outcomes in patients with sagittal synostosis operated with the most commonly used surgical methods in Sweden: craniotomy combined with springs, pi-plasty, or H-craniectomy. Paper I is a systematic review that identified the evidence showing that spring-assisted surgery is as efficient as more extensive cranioplasties to be of very low quality, thereby emphasizing the need for more rigorous studies.

4. 18. Quality of Life and Supportive Care after Oesophageal Cancer Surgery. Long-term experiences and evaluation of a telephone based nurse-led supportive care programme

   Författare :Marlene Malmström; Lund Kirurgi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Experiences; Information; Intervention; Long-term follow-up; Oesophageal cancer; Oesophagectomy; Oesophago-gastectomy; Support; Supportive care; Telephone follow-up; Quality of life.;

   Sammanfattning : After oesophageal cancer surgery it is known that patients have a reduced QOL and that they suffer an unmet need of support. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate patients’ experiences of QOL and supportive care as well as to evaluate a telephone based nurse-led supportive care programme to patients after oesophageal cancer surgery.

5. 19. Brain tumors in children - National population-based studies on classification, diagnostics and long-term follow-up

   Författare :Elizabeth Schepke; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pediatric CNS tumors; population-based; DNA methylation; profiling; CNS-PNET; re-evaluation; incidence rate; long-term outcome; classification; Pediatric CNS tumors; Population-based; DNA methylation; Profiling; CNS-PNET; Re-evaluation; Incidence rate; Long-term outcome; Classification;

   Sammanfattning : Although the prognosis for pediatric tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) has improved over time it is urgent to reduce mortality and improve long-term quality of life for survivors. With this aim, the first step is to identify the correct diagnosis in order to choose the right therapy and avoid unnecessary treatment. LÄS MER

7. 20. Survival and treatment related toxicity in classical Hodgkin lymphoma

   Författare :Ingemar Lagerlöf; Daniel Molin; Graham Collins; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hodgkin lymphoma; combined modality; late effects; treatment toxicity; radiotherapy; chemotherapy; long-term; follow-up; relative survival; years of life lost; excess mortality; excess morbidity; Oncology; Onkologi;

   Sammanfattning : Treating early-stage classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) by adding radiotherapy to chemotherapy gives better disease control compared to chemotherapy only. With a low median age at diagnosis, the risk from cHL needs to be weighed against the risk of treatment toxicity. LÄS MER
