   Sammanfattning : BACKGROUND: For an older adult a hip fracture may be a traumatic and life-changing event and has shown to be associated with reduced health-related quality of life, disability and increased mortality. Previous rehabilitation studies have often excluded older adults with cognitive impairment and those living in residential care facilities, groups with an additional risk of poor outcome. LÄS MER

3. 2. Hospital length stay : register-based studies on breast cancer surgery

   Författare :Rikard Lindqvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Length of stay; breast cancer; breast surgery; social factors;

   Sammanfattning : The present investigation focused on three main questions: what factors can determine length of stay for primary surgery for breast cancer? Can these factors be attributed to the decreasing trend in mean length of stay for primary breast-cancer surgery? And can there be any adverse effect of declining length of stay, such as prolonged sick leave, following breast-cancer surgery? For the four studies of the thesis, routinely collected data was used. In study I the Swedish Hospital Discharge Register was used to describe the trend in mean length of stay of women surgically treated for breast cancer and to investigate the effect of the increasing use of breast-conserving surgery on the decreasing trend in mean length of stay.

   Sammanfattning : Background: In high-income countries, hospital length of stay after a normal birth has gradually decreased correspondingly to length of stay in care of other patients. A short stay provides a greater opportunity for autonomy and an increased sense of participation, but it may involve great challenges satisfying parental guidance as well as on the possibility of preventing, discovering, and treating neonatal medical conditions.

   Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;
