1. Epidemiology of venous thromboembolism with focus on risk markers
Sammanfattning : Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a vascular disease with an incidence of approximately 140 cases per 100,000 person-years in adults. The incidence of VTE has increased over the last decades, and more than 20% of affected individuals die in the first year after diagnosis. LÄS MER
2. Drug-related morbidity and mortality : Pharmacoepidemiological aspects
Sammanfattning : Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) constitute a significant health problem with consequences for the patient as well as for society. Suspected ADRs have been reported to occur in about 2-14% of hospitalised patients. In about 5% of deceased hospitalised patients suspected ADRs may have caused or contributed to the fatal outcome.

3. Thrombosis in Children
Sammanfattning : Aims: The general objective was to further elucidate thromboembolic disease in children and thereby help improve the care of these patients. More specific aims were as follows: to determine what children are affected by thrombosis; to discern any gender or age differences related to thrombosis; to identify prothrombotic risk factors; to ascertain whether autoantibodies against coagulation proteins constitute a risk factor for childhood thrombosis; to study girls receiving estrogen treatment with regard to induced hemostatic changes and efficacy of the therapy; to investigate long-term effects on the hemostatic system in children subjected to heart surgery.

4. The use of fibrinogen in cardiac surgery patients-clinical and experimental studies
Sammanfattning : BACKGROUND Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass impairs hemostasis due to hemodilution and consumption of platelets and coagulation factors, such as fibrinogen. The aim of this thesis was to study the role of fibrinogen in bleeding complications in cardiac surgery patients. LÄS MER
5. Venous thromboembolism: Risk factors, comorbidities, and treatment-associated risk of bleedings
Sammanfattning : Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is the third most common cardiovascular disease, consisting mainly of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). Since VTE often is a preventable disease, knowledge of risk factors is critical. Following a VTE, many patients are subjected to extended anticoagulant treatment. LÄS MER
