- Purpose To evaluate urinary continence (UC) recovery and oncological outcomes in different risk-groups after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RALP) and open retropubic radical prostatectomy (RRP). Patients and methods We analysed 2650 men with prostate cancer from seven open (n = 805) and seven robotic (n = 1845) Swedish centres between 2008 and 2011 in a prospective non-randomised trial, LAPPRO. UC recovery was defined as change of pads less than once in 24 h. Information was collected through validated questionnaires. Rate of positive surgical margins (PSM) and biochemical recurrence (BCR), defined as prostate-specific antigen (PSA) > 0.25 mg/ml, were recorded. We stratified patients into two risk groups (low-intermediate and high risk) based on the D'Amico risk classification system. Result Among men with high-risk prostate cancer, we found significantly higher rates of UC recovery up to 24 months after RRP compared to RALP (66.1% vs 60.5%) RR 0.85 (CI 95% 0.73-0.99) while PSM was more frequent after RRP compared to RALP (46.8% vs 23.5%) RR 1.56 (CI 95% 1.10-2.21). In the same group no significant difference was seen in BCR. Overall, however, BCR was significantly more common after RRP compared to RALP at 24 months (9.8% vs 6.6%) RR 1.43 (Cl 95% 1.08-1.89). The limitations of this study are its non-randomized design and the relatively short time of follow-up. Conclusions Our study indicates that men with high-risk tumour operated with open surgery had better urinary continence recovery but with a higher risk of PSM than after robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery. No significant difference was seen in biochemical recurrence.

- BACKGROUND: In young men, high body mass index (BMI) has been linked to liver disease later in life, but it is unclear if this also applies to women.AIM: To study the association between BMI early in life and development of liver disease later in life in women.METHODS: We obtained data on early pregnancy BMI from 1 139 458 Swedish women between 1992 and 2015. National registers were used to ascertain incident severe liver disease, defined as cirrhosis, decompensated liver disease (hepatocellular carcinoma, oesophageal varices, hepatorenal syndrome or hepatic encephalopathy) or liver failure. A Cox regression model was used to investigate associations of BMI with incident severe liver disease adjusting for maternal age, calendar year, country of birth, smoking, civil status and education.RESULTS: (95% CI 1.02-1.05). A diagnosis of diabetes was associated with an increased risk of severe liver disease independent of baseline BMI.CONCLUSION: A high BMI early in life in women is associated with a dose-dependent, increased risk for future severe liver disease.

- BACKGROUND: The clinical course of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) varies from asymptomatic nonprogressive to aggressive disease, with up to one in four patients manifesting ESRD within 20 years of diagnosis. Although some studies have suggested that mortality appears to be increased in IgAN, such studies lacked matched controls and did not report absolute risk.METHODS: We conducted a population-based cohort study in Sweden, involving patients with biopsy-verified IgAN diagnosed in 1974-2011; main outcome measures were death and ESRD. Using data from three national registers, we linked 3622 patients with IgAN with 18,041 matched controls; we also conducted a sibling analysis using 2773 patients with IgAN with 6210 siblings and a spousal analysis that included 2234 pairs.RESULTS: During a median follow-up of 13.6 years, 577 (1.1%) patients with IgAN died (10.67 per 1000 person-years) compared with 2066 deaths (0.7%) in the reference population during a median follow-up of 14.1 years (7.45 per 1000 person-years). This corresponded to a 1.53-fold increased risk and an absolute excess mortality of 3.23 per 1000 person-years (equaling one extra death per 310 person-years) and a 6-year reduction in median life expectancy. Similar increases in risk were seen in comparisons with siblings and spouses. IgAN was associated with one extra case of ESRD per 54 person-years. Mortality preceding ESRD was not significantly increased compared with controls, spouses, or siblings. Overall mortality did not differ significantly between patients with IgAN-associated ESRD and patients with ESRD from other causes.CONCLUSIONS: Patients with IgAN have an increased mortality compared with matched controls, with one extra death per 310 person-years and a 6-year reduction in life expectancy.

- BACKGROUND: Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) incidence peaks in childbearing age. Data on pregnancy outcomes in women with IgAN are limited.METHODS: We performed a register-based cohort study in a nationwide cohort of women with biopsy-verified IgAN in Sweden, comparing 327 pregnancies in 208 women with biopsy-verified IgAN and 1060 pregnancies in a matched reference population of 622 women without IgAN, with secondary comparisons with sisters to IgAN women. Adverse pregnancy outcomes, identified by way of the Swedish Medical Birth Register, were compared through multivariable logistic regression and presented as adjusted odds ratios (aORs). Main outcome was preterm birth (< 37 weeks). Secondary outcomes were preeclampsia, small for gestational age (SGA), low 5-min Apgar score (< 7), fetal or infant loss, cesarean section, and gestational diabetes.RESULTS: We found that IgAN was associated with an increased risk of preterm birth (13.1% vs 5.6%; aOR = 2.69; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.52-4.77), preeclampsia (13.8% vs 4.2%; aOR = 4.29; 95%CI = 2.42-7.62), SGA birth (16.0% vs 11.1%; aOR = 1.84; 95%CI = 1.17-2.88), and cesarean section (23.9% vs 16.2%; aOR = 1.74, 95%CI = 1.14-2.65). Absolute risks were low for intrauterine (0.6%) or neonatal (0%) death and for low 5-min Apgar score (1.5%), and did not differ from the reference population. Sibling comparisons suggested increased risks of preterm birth, preeclampsia, and SGA in IgAN, but not of cesarean section.CONCLUSION: We conclude that although most women with IgAN will have a favorable pregnancy outcome, they are at higher risk of preterm birth, preeclampsia and SGA. Intensified supervision during pregnancy is warranted.

- Background & & Aims: Endoscopy is an integral part of the investigation and management of gastrointestinal disease. We aimed to examine outcomes of pregnancies for women who underwent endoscopy during their pregnancy.Methods: We performed a nationwide population-based cohort study, linking data from the Swedish Medical Birth Registry (for births from 1992 through 2011) with those from the Swedish Patient Registry. We identified 3052 pregnancies exposed to endoscopy (2025 upper endoscopies, 1109 lower endoscopies, 58 endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographies). Using Poisson regression, we calculated adjusted relative risks (ARRs) for adverse outcomes of pregnancy according to endoscopy status using 1,589,173 unexposed pregnancies as reference. To consider the effects of disease activity, we examined pregnancy outcomes (preterm birth, stillbirth, small for gestational age [SGA], or congenital malformations) in women who underwent endoscopy just before or after pregnancy. Secondary factors included induction of labor, low birth weight (<2500g), cesarean section, Apgar score below 7 at 5 minutes, and neonatal death within 28 days. To consider intra-familial factors, we compared pregnancies within the same mother.Results: Exposure to any endoscopy during pregnancy was associated with an increased risk of preterm birth (ARR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.36-1.75) or SGA (ARR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.07-1.57) but not of congenital malformation (ARR, 1.00; 95% CI, 0.83-1.20) or stillbirth (ARR, 1.45; 95% CI, 0.87-2.40). None of the 15 stillbirths to women with endoscopy occurred less than 2 weeks after endoscopy. ARRs were independent of trimester. Compared to women with endoscopy less than 1 year before or after pregnancy, endoscopy during pregnancy was associated with preterm birth (ARR, 1.16) but not with SGA (ARR, 1.19), stillbirth (ARR, 1.11), or congenital malformation (ARR, 0.90). Restricting the study population to women having an endoscopy during pregnancy or before/after, and only analyzing data from women without a diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, or liver disease, endoscopy during pregnancy was not linked to preterm birth (ARR, 1.03; 95% CI, 0.84-1.27). Comparing births within the same mother, for which only 1 birth had been exposed to endoscopy, we found no association between endoscopy and gestational age or birth weight.Conclusions: In a nationwide population-based cohort study, we found endoscopy during pregnancy to be associated with increased risk of preterm birth or SGA, but not of congenital malformation or stillbirth. However, these risks are small and likely due to intra-familial factors or disease activity.

- Liver biopsy is an important procedure in the investigation of liver disease. We examined pregnancy outcomes in women who underwent liver biopsy during pregnancy. In a nationwide population-based cohort study we linked data from the Swedish Medical Birth Registry (for births between 1992 and 2011) with those from the Swedish Patient Registry. We identified 23 pregnancies exposed to liver biopsy. We calculated relative risks (RRs) for adverse pregnancy outcomes according to liver biopsy status using 1,953,887 unexposed pregnancies with and without a record of liver disease as reference. Our main outcome measures were stillbirth and preterm birth. There were no stillbirths in pregnancies exposed to liver biopsies compared with 0.3% stillbirths in unexposed pregnancies. 3/23 (13%) exposed pregnancies were preterm (RR=2.6; 95%CI=0.9-7.5). Compared with women with a record of liver disease, preterm birth was not increased in those exposed to liver biopsy (RR=0.9; 95%CI=0.1-6.0). Except for an increased risk of small for gestational age birth in pregnancies exposed to liver biopsy (RR=5.2; 95%CI=1.8-14.8), other adverse pregnancy outcomes were independent of liver biopsy status when the analysis was restricted to women with a diagnosis of liver disease. Compared with unexposed sibling pregnancies, pregnancies with a liver biopsy were 7 days shorter, but birth weights did not differ between the siblings (-67g; p>0.05).Apart from a moderately increased risk of preterm birth and small for gestational age, there was no association between liver biopsy during pregnancy and adverse pregnancy outcome. Potential excess risks should be weighed against the advantages of having a liver biopsy that may influence clinical management of the patient indirectly influencing fetal health.
