- Introduction The aims of the study were to evaluate the impact of intra- and postoperative complications on satisfaction one year after hysterectomy for benign conditions, to determine risk factors for low patient satisfaction and to analyze whether complications were associated with the length of hospital stay. Material and Methods A retrospective study of 27938 women from the Swedish National Register for Gynecological Surgery undergoing hysterectomy for benign conditions between January 2004 and June 2016. Data were obtained from prospectively collected pre-, peri- and postoperative forms. Statistical analyses were performed using multivariable logistic regression models. Crude and adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals are presented. Results More than 90% were satisfied with the hysterectomy. Dissatisfaction was associated with complications. Pelvic pain as indication, preoperatively having less expectations to get rid of symptoms or being alleviated from surgery, and current smoking were also risk factors for low patient satisfaction. Vaginal and abdominal subtotal hysterectomies were associated with high satisfaction. Occurrence of complications intra- and postoperatively before discharge was associated with increased length of hospital stay, as well as occurrence and severity of complications reported after discharge from hospital. Conclusions Complications were strongly associated with lower patient satisfaction. Preoperative expectations of surgery, indication, mode of surgery and life-style factors had impact on the satisfaction. Patient-centered information to ensure realistic expectations and prevention of complications seem to be essential to gain optimal patient satisfaction with surgery.

Targeted Removal of Axillary Lymph Nodes After Carbon Marking in Patients with Breast Cancer Treated with Primary Chemotherapy
- 2021

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In breast cancer patients who have received primary chemotherapy and then no longer have any suspicious lymph nodes clinically and/or on imaging, marking of initially suspicious axillary lymph nodes with targeted removal has recently been discussed and practised both in Germany and internationally as an alternative to complete axillary lymph node dissection. Tattooing of the suspicious lymph nodes with a highly purified carbon suspension is currently being investigated in clinical studies. Compared with other techniques, the advantages of this method are the high rate of intraoperative lymph node detection, avoidance of an immediately preoperative localisation procedure and the low costs. The practical aspects of lymph node tattooing and the current data regarding this method will be described.

Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Knowledge concerning the impact of preoperative planning, patient information and patient factors on the outcome of benign hysterectomy is incomplete. This systematic review summarizes the current knowledge on the effect of preoperative planning and of preoperative patient factors on the outcome of benign hysterectomy. The PubMed/PubMed Central/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, TRIP Medical Database, Prospero and the Cochrane Library databases were searched. Inclusion criteria were prospective trials, hysterectomy for benign disease, systematic preoperative assessment, and article in English. Eighteen articles were included and categorized according to their main aims: use of a preoperative checklist, preoperative decision-making, preoperative information, and the effect on the outcome of surgery of factors that concerns patients preoperatively. Focused and well directed preoperative assessment and thoroughness in the preoperative decision-making was associated with positive postoperative outcomes. The use of a checklist reduced the overall rate of hysterectomy and increased the use of minimally invasive surgery. Women were often inadequately informed before hysterectomy about the possible side effects after surgery. Preoperative anxiety and preoperative pain were associated with postoperative pain and lower quality of life. The indication for surgery had an impact on the reported quality of life postoperatively. The extent of preoperative planning seemed to affect the outcome of surgery. Preoperative patient factors influenced the postoperative recovery. Prehabilitation measures need further development and should be integrated in the preoperative planning. Prospective studies are warranted to evaluate and improve the preoperative planning in a systematic setting before performing hysterectomy for benign disease.

Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Objective: To evaluate if induction of labour at 41 weeks improves perinatal and maternal outcomes in women with low risk pregnancies compared with expectant management and induction at 42 weeks.Methods: A multicenter, randomised controlled superiority trial.Women with low risk singleton pregnanies (n = 2760) were randomised to either induction or expectant management group. The primary outcome was a composite perinatal outcome including one or more of stillbirth, neonatal mortality, Apgar score < 7 at five minutes, pH < 7.00 or metabolic acidosis (pH < 7.05 and base deficit >12 mmol/L) in the umbilical artery, hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy, intracranial haemorrhage, convulsions, meconium aspiration syndrome, mechanical ventilation within 72 hours, obstetric brachial plexus injury. Primary analysis was by intention to treat.Results: The study was stopped early owing to a significantly higher rate of perinatal mortality in the expectant management group (no deaths compared to six deaths, p = 0.03). The primary outcome did not differ: 2.4 % (33/1381) in the induction group and 2.2 % (31/1379) in the expectant management group (RR 1.06, 95 %CI 0.65 to 1.73; p = 0.90). The proportion of caesarean delivery, instrumental vaginal delivery, or any major maternal morbidity did not differ between the groups.Conclusions: There was no significant difference in the primary composite outcome when comparing induction at 41 weeks with expectant management and induction at 42. However, a reduction of the secondary outcome perinatal mortality was observed without increasing adverse maternal outcomes. To offer induction at 41 weeks could be one of few interventions that reduces the rate of stillbirths.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Objective Excisional treatment for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) is associated with preterm delivery (PTD). It has been shown that even untreated CIN is associated with PTD. We aimed to explore the magnitude of the associations of CIN with PTD and adverse obstetrical outcome. Methods Retrospective register-based study comprising all women with singleton deliveries in Sweden 1999-2016. Data were retrieved from the Medical Birth Registry and the Swedish National Cervical Screening Registry. Women with normal cytology all life (n = 340,290) were compared to a) women with sign of HPV-infection close to pregnancy (abnormal cytology (n = 11,936) or positive HPV-test (n = 2,587)), b) women treated for CIN before delivery (n = 25,123) and c) women with CIN/carcinoma diagnosed after delivery (n = 34,251) by logistic regression adjusted for socioeconomic and health-related confounders. Results PTD was increased in all groups compared to women with normal cytology all life (4.7 %), with greatest risk for the treated group (9,0 %, OR 1.80 (1.71-1.89)), but also for women with HPV-infection close to pregnancy (5,9 %, OR 1.19 (1.10-1.29)) and CIN/carcinoma after delivery (6,1 %, OR 1.10 (1.04-1.16)). Paired analysis in 5,547 women with deliveries both before and after treatment showed increased risk of PTD after treatment (OR 1.27 (1.07-1.50)). The treated group had increased risk also for preterm prelabour rupture of the membranes (pPROM, OR 2.25 (2.08-2.44)) and chorioamnionitis (2.44 (2.05-2.90)). HPV-infection close to pregnancy was associated with pPROM (OR 1.22 (1.06-1.40)). Conclusions Women with HPV infection close to pregnancy have a small increased risk for PTD and pPROM while excisional treatment increases risks further.
