- BACKGROUND: Celiac disease (CD) affects around 1% of the population worldwide. Data on work disability in celiac patients remain scarce. We estimated work loss in celiac patients including its temporal relationship to diagnosis.METHODS: Through biopsy reports from Sweden's 28 pathology departments, we identified 16,005 working-aged patients with prevalent CD (villus atrophy) as of January 1, 2015, and 4,936 incident patients diagnosed with CD in 2008-2015. Each patient was matched to up to 5 general-population comparators. Using nationwide social insurance registers, we retrieved prospectively-recorded data on compensation for sick leave and disability leave to assess work loss in patients and comparators.RESULTS: In 2015, patients with prevalent CD had a mean of 42.5 lost work days as compared with 28.6 in comparators (mean difference: 14.7, 95%CI: 13.2-16.2), corresponding to a relative increase of 49%. More than half of the work loss (60.1%) in celiac patients was derived from a small subgroup (7%) while 75.4% had no work loss. Among incident patients, the annual mean difference between patients and comparators was 8.0 (5.4-10.6) lost work days 5 years before CD diagnosis, which grew to 13.7 (9.1-18.3) days 5 years after diagnosis. No difference in work loss was observed between patients with or without mucosal healing at follow-up.CONCLUSIONS: Celiac patients lost more work days than comparators before their diagnosis, and this loss increased after diagnosis. Identifying patients with an increased risk of work loss may serve as a target to mitigate work disability, and thereby reduce work loss, in CD.

- IMPORTANCE: Bariatric surgery is a life-changing treatment for patients with severe obesity, but little is known about its association with interpersonal relationships.OBJECTIVES: To investigate if relationship status is altered after bariatric surgery.DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Changes in relationship status after bariatric surgery were examined in 2 cohorts: (1) the prospective Swedish Obese Subjects (SOS) study, which recruited patients undergoing bariatric surgery from September 1, 1987, to January 31, 2001, and compared their care with usual nonsurgical care in matched obese control participants; and (2) participants from the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry (SOReg), a prospective, electronically captured register that recruited patients from January 2007 through December 2012 and selected comparator participants from the general population matched on age, sex, and place of residence. Data was collected in surgical departments and primary health care centers in Sweden. The current analysis includes data collected up until July 2015 (SOS) and December 2012 (SOReg). Data analysis was completed from June 2016 to December 2017.MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: In the SOS study, information on relationship status was obtained from questionnaires. In the SOReg and general population cohort, information on marriage and divorce was obtained from the Swedish Total Population Registry.RESULTS: The SOS study included 1958 patients who had bariatric surgery (of whom 1389 [70.9%] were female) and 1912 matched obese controls (of whom 1354 [70.8%] were female) and had a median (range) follow-up of 10 (0.5-20) years. The SOReg cohort included 29 234 patients who had gastric bypass surgery (of whom 22 131 [75.6%] were female) and 283 748 comparators from the general population (of whom 214 342 [75.5%] were female), and had a median (range) follow-up of 2.9 (0.003-7.0) years. In the SOS study, the surgical patients received gastric banding (n = 368; 18.8%), vertical banded gastroplasty (n = 1331; 68.0%), or gastric bypass (n = 259; 13.2%); controls received usual obesity care. In SOReg, all 29 234 surgical participants received gastric bypass surgery. In the SOS study, bariatric surgery was associated with increased incidence of divorce/separation compared with controls for those in a relationship (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] = 1.28; 95% CI, 1.03-1.60; P =.03) and increased incidence of marriage or new relationship (aHR = 2.03; 95% CI, 1.52-2.71; P <.001) in those who were unmarried or single at baseline. In the SOReg and general population cohort, gastric bypass was associated with increased incidence of divorce compared with married control participants (aHR = 1.41; 95% CI, 1.33-1.49; P <.001) and increased incidence of marriage in those who were unmarried at baseline (aHR = 1.35; 95% CI, 1.28-1.42; P <.001). Within the surgery groups, changes in relationship status were more common in those with larger weight loss.CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In addition to its association with obesity comorbidities, bariatric surgery-induced weight loss is also associated with changes in relationship status.

- BACKGROUND: Several studies have addressed short-term admission rates after bariatric surgery. However, studies on long-term admission rates are few and population based studies are even scarcer.OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess short- and long-term admission rates for gastrointestinal surgery after gastric bypass in Sweden compared with admission rates in the general population.SETTING: Swedish healthcare system.METHODS: The surgery cohort consisted of adults with body mass index≥35 identified in the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry (n = 28,331; mean age 41 years; 76% women; Roux-en-Y gastric bypass performed 2007-2012). For each individual, up to 10 comparators from the general population were matched on birth year, sex, and place of residence (n = 274,513). The primary outcome was inpatient admissions due to gastrointestinal surgery retrieved from the National Patient Register through December 31, 2014. Conditional hazard ratios (HR) were estimated using Cox regression.RESULTS: All-cause admission rates were 6.5%, 21.4%, and 65.9% during 30 days, 1 year, and 6 years after surgery, respectively. The corresponding rates for gastrointestinal surgery were 1.8%, 6.8%, and 24.4%. Compared with that of the general population, there was an increased risk of all-cause hospital admission at 1 year (HR 2.6 [2.5-2.6]) and 6 years (HR 2.7 [2.6-2.7]). The risk of hospital admission for any gastrointestinal surgical procedure was greatly increased throughout the study period (HR 8.6 [8.4-8.9]). Female sex, psychiatric disease, and low education were risk factors.CONCLUSION: We found a significant risk of admission to hospital over>6 years after gastric bypass surgery.

- Background: The long-term effects of bariatric surgery on the mental health of adolescents with severe obesity remain uncertain. We aimed to describe the prevalence of psychiatric health-care visits and filled prescription psychiatric drugs among adolescents with severe obesity undergoing bariatric surgery in the 5 years preceding surgery and throughout the first 10 years after surgery, and to draw comparisons with matched adolescents in the general population. Methods: Adolescents with severe obesity and who underwent bariatric surgery were identified through the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry. We included adolescents who had bariatric surgery between 2007 and 2017 and were younger than 21 years at time of surgery. Each adolescent patient was matched with ten adolescents from the general population by age, sex, and county of residence. Specialist psychiatric care and filled psychiatric prescriptions were retrieved from nationwide data registers. Findings: 1554 adolescents (<21 years) with severe obesity underwent bariatric surgery between 2007 and 2017, 1169 (75%) of whom were female. At time of surgery, the mean age was 19.0 years [SD 1.0], and the mean BMI was 43.7 kg/m(2) (SD 5.5). 15 540 adolescents from the general population were matched with adolescents in the surgery group. 5 years before the matched index date, 95 (6.2%) of 1535 surgery patients and 370 (2.5%) of 14 643 matched adolescents had a psychiatric health-care visit (prevalence difference 3.7%; 95% CI 2.4-4.9), whereas 127 (9.8%) of 1295 surgery patients and 445 (3.6%) of 12 211 matched adolescents filled a psychiatric drug prescription (prevalence difference 6.2%; 95% CI 4.5-7.8). The year before the matched index date, 208 (13.4%) of 1551 surgery patients and 844 (5.5%) of 15 308 matched adolescents had a psychiatric health-care visit (prevalence difference 7.9%; 95% CI 6.2-9.6), whereas 319 (20.6%) of 1551 surgery patients and 1306 (8.5%) of 15 308 matched adolescents filled a psychiatric drug prescription (prevalence difference 12.0%; 10.0-14.1). The prevalence difference in psychiatric health-care visits peaked 9 years after the matched index date (12.0%; 95% CI 9.0-14.9), when 119 (17.6%) of 675 surgery patients and 377 (5.7%) of 6669 matched adolescents had a psychiatric health-care visit. The prevalence difference in filled psychiatric drug prescription was highest 10 years after the matched index date (20.4%; 15.9-24.9), when 171 (36.5%) of 469 surgery patients and 739 (16.0%) of 4607 matched adolescents filled a psychiatric drug prescription. The year before the matched index date, 19 (1.2%) of 1551 surgery patients and 155 (1.0%) of 15304 matched adolescents had a health-care visit associated with a substance use disorder diagnosis (mean difference 0.2%, 95% CI -0.4 to 0.8). 10 years after the matched index date, the prevalence difference had increased to 4.3% (95% CI 2.3-6.4), when 24 (5.1%) of 467 surgery patients and 37 (0.8%) of 4582 matched adolescents had a health-care visit associated with a substance use disorder diagnosis. Interpretation: Psychiatric diagnoses and psychiatric drug prescriptions were more common among adolescents with severe obesity who would later undergo bariatric surgery than among matched adolescents from the general population. Both groups showed an increase in prevalence in psychiatric diagnoses and psychiatric drug prescriptions leading up to the time of surgery, but the rate of increase in the prevalence was higher among adolescents with severe obesity than among matched adolescents. With the exception of health-care visits for substance use disorders, these prevalence trajectories continued in the 10 years of follow-up. Realistic expectations regarding mental health outcomes should be set preoperatively. Funding: Swedish Research Council, Swedish Research Council for Health, Working Life and Welfare.

- Bariatric surgery is associated with remission of diabetes and prevention of diabetic complications in patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes. Long-term effects of bariatric surgery on microvascular complications in patients with prediabetes are unknown. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of bariatric surgery on incidence of microvascular complications in patients with obesity stratified by baseline glycaemic status.Patients were recruited to the Swedish Obese Subjects (SOS) study between Sept 1, 1987, and Jan 31, 2001. Inclusion criteria were age 37-60 years and BMI of 34 kg/m(2) or greater in men and 38 kg/m(2) or greater in women. Exclusion criteria were identical in surgery and control groups and designed to exclude patients not suitable for surgery. The surgery group (n=2010) underwent gastric bypass (265 [13%]), gastric banding (376 [19%]), or vertical-banded gastroplasty (1369 [68%]). Participants in the control group (n=2037) received usual care. Bodyweight was measured and questionnaires were completed at baseline and at 0·5 years, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, 6 years, 8 years, 10 years, 15 years, and 20 years. Biochemical variables were measured at baseline and at 2 years, 10 years, and 15 years. We categorised participants into subgroups on the basis of baseline glycaemic status (normal [fasting blood glucose concentration <5·0 mmol/L], prediabetes [5·0-6·0 mmol/L], screen-detected diabetes [≥6·1 mmol/L at baseline visit without previous diagnosis], and established diabetes [diagnosis of diabetes before study inclusion]). We obtained data about first incidence of microvascular disease from nationwide registers and about diabetes incidence at study visits at 2 years, 10 years, and 15 years. We did the main analysis by intention to treat, and subgroup analyses after stratification by baseline glycaemic status and by diabetes status at the 15 year follow-up. The SOS study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01479452.4032 of the 4047 participants in the SOS study were included in this analysis. We excluded four patients with suspected type 1 diabetes, and 11 patients with unknown glycaemic status at baseline. At baseline, 2838 patients had normal blood glucose, 591 had prediabetes, 246 had screen-detected diabetes, and 357 had established diabetes. Median follow-up was 19 years (IQR 16-21). We identified 374 incident cases of microvascular disease in the control group and 224 in the surgery group (hazard ratio [HR] 0·56, 95% CI 0·48-0·66; p<0·0001). Interaction between baseline glycaemic status and effect of treatment on incidence of microvascular disease was significant (p=0·0003). Unadjusted HRs were lowest in the subgroup with prediabetes (0·18, 95% CI 0·11-0·30), followed by subgroups with screen-detected diabetes (0·39, 0·24-0·65), established diabetes (0·54, 0·40-0·72), and normoglycaemia (0·63, 0·48-0·81). Surgery was associated with reduced incidence of microvascular events in people with prediabetes regardless of whether they developed diabetes during follow-up.Bariatric surgery was associated with reduced risk of microvascular complications in all subgroups, but the greatest relative risk reduction was observed in patients with prediabetes at baseline. Our results suggest that prediabetes should be treated aggressively to prevent future microvascular events, and effective non-surgical treatments need to be developed for this purpose.US National Institutes of Health, Swedish Research Council, Sahlgrenska University Hospital Regional Agreement on Medical Education and Research, and Swedish Diabetes Foundation.

- There is limited experience and methods for extractions of drug therapy data from electronic health records (EHR) in the hospital setting. We have therefore developed and evaluated completeness and consistency of an automatic versus a semi-automatic extraction procedure applied on prescribing and administration of the TNF inhibitor infliximab using a hospital EHR system in Karolinska University Hospital, Sweden. Using two different extraction methods (automatic and semi-automatic), all administered infusions of infliximab between 2007 and 2010 were extracted from a database linked to the EHR system. Extracted data included encrypted personal identity number (PIN), date of birth, sex, time of prescription/administration, healthcare units, prescribed/administered dose and time of admission/discharge. The primary diagnosis (ICD-10) for the treatment with infliximab was extracted by linking infliximab infusions to their corresponding treatment episode. A total of 13,590 infusions of infliximab were administered during the period of 2007 to 2010. Of those were 13,531 (99.6%) possible to link to a corresponding treatment episode, and a primary diagnosis was extracted for 13,530 infusions. Information on encrypted PIN, date of birth, time of prescription/administration, time of admission/discharge and healthcare unit was complete. Information about sex was missing in one patient only. Calculable information about dosage was extracted for 13,300 (98.3%) of all linked infusions. This methodological study showed the potential to extract drug therapy data in a hospital setting. The semi-automatic procedure produced an almost complete pattern of demographics, diagnoses and dosages for the treatment with infliximab.

Real-Time Monitoring of Healthcare Interventions in Routine Care : Effectiveness and Safety of Newly Introduced Medicines
- 2016
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Before market authorization of new medicines, their efficacy and safety are evaluated using randomized controlled trials. While there is no doubt about the scientific value of randomized trials, they are usually conducted in selected populations with questionable generalizability to routine care. In the digital data revolution era, with healthcare data growing at an unprecedented rate, drug monitoring in routine care is still highly under-utilized. Although many countries have access to data on prescription drugs at the individual level in ambulatory care, such data are often missing for hospitals. This is a growing problem considering the clear trend towards more new and expensive drugs administered in the hospital setting. The aim of this thesis was therefore to develop methods for extracting data on drug use from a hospital-based electronic health record system and further to build and evaluate models for real-time monitoring of effectiveness and safety of new drugs in routine care using data from electronic health records and regional and national health care registers.Using the developed techniques, we were able to demonstrate drug use and health service utilization for inflammatory bowel disease and to evaluate the comparative effectiveness and safety of antiarrhythmic drugs.With a rapidly evolving drug development, it is important to optimize the evaluation of effectiveness, safety and health economic value of new medicines in routine care. We believe that the models described in this thesis could contribute to fulfil this need.
