    • Västra Götalandsregionen har drygt 1,5 miljoner invåna re. Patienter med diagnosen schizofreni (N = 4 593) under juli 2005 till och med decem ber 2009 har studerats. Läkemedelskostnaden var lägre för äldre neuroleptika än för nyare »atypiska« anti psykotika. Sjukhuskostna derna var lika för båda grup perna, medan öppenvårds­ kostnaderna var högre vid behandling med nya medel än med äldre. Totalkostnaden per patient varierade från 243 000 (äldre läkemedel) till 360 000 kro nor (nyare antipsykotika). Samsjukligheten tenderade att vara lägre för aripiprazol, men var lika för äldre och and ra nyare preparat. Sjukskrivningstiderna var lika oberoende av preparat. Dödligheten var 2,4 gånger högre hos schizofrenipatien ter än i totalbefolkningen, men den var inte signifikant lägre vid läkemedelsbehand ling än utan. Dock var den signifikant lägre vid behand ling med nyare antipsykotika än med äldre läkemedel.

  • Hyperparathyroidism in men - morbidity and mortality during 21 years' follow-up
  • 2020
  • Ingår i: Scandinavian Journal of Clinical & Laboratory Investigation. - : Informa UK Limited. - 0036-5513 .- 1502-7686. ; 80:1, s. 6-13
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Hyperparathyroidism (HPT), including normocalcaemic, vitamin D sufficient (Serum (S)-25(OH)D >= 50 nmol/L) hyperparathyroidism (nHPT), has increasingly been diagnosed in the last few decades due to the more common use of the serum parathyroid hormone (S-PTH) assay. We investigated if men with HPT had higher morbidity and mortality than men without HPT during 21 years' follow-up. A random population sample of 750 men, all 50 years of age, was examined in 1993. Endpoints were retrieved 21 years later at 71 years of age. Albumin-corrected serum (S) calcium, S-25-hydroxyvitamin D and S-PTH were assessed along with data on cardiovascular risk factors and medication. Outcome data on fractures, stroke, myocardial infarction, cancer and death were retrieved in 2014; 21 years after primary assessment. The prevalence of HPT at 50 years of age was 9.3%; nHPT 2.8%, primary HPT 0.4%, secondary HPT 0.4%, and HPT with vitamin D insufficiency 6%. Fracture rate, myocardial infarction, stroke, cancer and death occurred similarly in men with or without HPT, as well as in men with nHPT as compared with men without calcium/PTH aberrations during 21 years' follow-up. S-PTH was evenly distributed in the univariable analyses for each outcome. Cox regression analyses showed no increase in serious morbidity or in mortality in men with HPT, irrespective of cause, compared with men with normal S-PTH over a 21-year period. None had HPT at a S-25(OH)D level of 100 nmol/L.

  • Obesity and trends in cardiovascular risk factors over 40 years in Swedish men aged 50.
  • 2009
  • Ingår i: Journal of internal medicine. - : Wiley. - 1365-2796 .- 0954-6820. ; 266:3, s. 268-76

    • OBJECTIVE: To study trends over 40 years in cardiovascular risk factors in normal weight, overweight and obese men, all aged 50 when examined. Design. Cross-sectional studies of five successive cohorts of men aged 50. SETTING: City of Göteborg, Sweden. SUBJECTS: Random population samples of altogether 3251 urban Swedish men born in 1913, 1923, 1933, 1943 and 1953. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Anthropometry, cardiovascular risk factors, rates of nonsmoking, normotension and serum cholesterol <5 mmol L(-1) over four decades. RESULTS: Over 40 years, there was a net increase in body mass index (BMI) from 24.8 (SD = 3.2) to 26.4 (3.7) kg m(-2) (P < 0.0001), with an increase in the prevalence of obesity (BMI >or= 30 kg m(-2)) from 6.0% in 1963 to 13.8% in 2003. Favourable trends with respect to smoking, blood pressure and serum cholesterol were observed similarly amongst normal weight, overweight and obese men. In 1963, 24% of obese men were normotensive compared to 45% in 2003, and 6% had serum cholesterol <5 mmol L(-1) compared to 34% in 2003. Compared with obese men in 1963, men who were obese in 2003 had an odds ratio (OR) of 3.39 being a nonsmoker [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.56 to 7.36], 2.67 of being normotensive (1.23 to 5.83) and having serum cholesterol <5 mmol L(-1) of 8.30 (2.37 to 29.0). However, optimal risk factor status - no smoking, normotension and total serum cholesterol <5 mmol L(-1)- was still present in less than one in six men in 2003, similar across BMI categories. CONCLUSIONS: Obese Swedish men who are now in their fifties have much lower levels of other risk factors compared with obese men 40 years ago. This could contribute to explain why coronary heart disease death rates still are falling despite increasing rates of obesity.

  • Aspirin increases mortality in diabetic patients without cardiovascular disease: a Swedish record linkage study.
  • 2009
  • Ingår i: Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety. - : Wiley. - 1099-1557 .- 1053-8569. ; 18:12, s. 1143-9

    • PURPOSE: Aspirin is effective in secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. The results are less convincing when aspirin is used for primary prevention even in high-risk patients (i.e., patients with diabetes). We therefore analyzed the effect of aspirin on mortality and serious bleeding in diabetic patients with and without cardiovascular disease. METHODS: We performed a record linkage study of the patient registry of the Västra Götaland region in south-western Sweden, the Swedish mortality register and the Swedish register of dispensed drugs. All diabetic patients (n = 58 465) from 1 July 2005 to 30 June 2006 were followed up with respect to bleeding until 31 October 2006, and mortality until 31 December 2006. RESULTS: When 19 confounding factors (diseases and interventions) were assessed, aspirin significantly increased mortality in diabetic patients without cardiovascular disease from 17% (95% confidence interval; 95%CI, 1-36) at age 50 years to 29% (16-43) at age 85 years. In contrast aspirin tended to decrease mortality among elderly diabetic patients with cardiovascular disease. Theoretical calculations indicated that aspirin caused 107 excess deaths among diabetic patients without cardiovascular disease and prevented 164 deaths among diabetic patients with cardiovascular disease. Aspirin also increased the risk of serious bleeding by 46% (95%CI, 22-75) in diabetic patients without cardiovascular disease but decreased the risk among those with cardiovascular disease. CONCLUSION: Aspirin use in diabetes patients without cardiovascular disease remains controversial and current guidelines should be revised until results from ongoing large randomized controlled trials become available.

  • Factors associated with reaching 90 years of age : a study of men born in 1913 in Gothenburg, Sweden
  • 2011

    • Objectives. Increasing numbers of people reach old age. We wanted to identify variables of importance for reaching 90 years old and determine how the predictive ability of these variables might change over time. Setting and subjects. All men in the city of Gothenburg born in 1913 on dates divisible by 3, which is on the 3rd, 6th, 9th etc., were included in the study. Thus, 973 men were invited, and 855 were examined in 1963 at age 50. Further examinations were made at age 54, 60 and 67. Anthropometric data, lifestyle and parental factors, blood pressure, lung function, X-ray of heart and lungs and maximum work performance were recorded. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was used to analyse the predictive capacity of a variable. Results. A total of 111 men (13%) reached 90 years of age, men who reached 90 years were more likely at age 50 to be nonsmokers, consume less coffee, have higher socio-economic status and have low serum cholesterol levels than those who did not reach this age; however, at age 50 or 62, parents' survival was of no prognostic importance. Variables of greatest importance at higher ages were low blood pressure and measures related to good cardiorespiratory function. In multivariable analysis, including all examinations, being a nonsmoker, consuming small amounts of coffee, having high housing costs at age 50, good maximum working capacity and low serum cholesterol were related to a better chance of survival to age 90. Conclusions. Low levels of cardiovascular risk factors, high socio-economic status and good functional capacity, irrespective of parents' survival, characterize men destined to reach the age of 90.

  • Saving lives, money and resources: drug and CABG/PCI use after myocardial infarction in a Swedish record-linkage study
  • 2010
  • Ingår i: European Journal of Health Economics. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1618-7598 .- 1618-7601 .- 1439-6637. ; 11:2, s. 177-184

    • Drug costs are increasing despite the introduction of cheaper generic drugs. The aim of the present study was to analyse the entire costs of hospital care, out-patient care, and the cost of drugs for 16 months following a myocardial infarction (MI) to see to what extent drug costs contribute to the overall costs of care. Diagnoses and costs for care as well as mortality data obtained from the Vastra Gotaland Region, Sweden, and drug costs from the Swedish Board of Health and Welfare, were merged in a computer file. Patients registered from 1 July 2005 to 30 June 2006 were followed from 28 days after an MI, with follow-up until 31 October 2006. Of 4,725 patients, 711 died before the start of the study and 721 during follow-up. Higher age [hazard ratio (HR, 95%CI) = 1.06 (1.05-1.07)], previous MI [HR = 1.31 (1.13-1.53)] and diabetes mellitus [HR = 1.34 (1.13-1.58)] were associated with increased mortality, which decreased with coronary interventions: CABG/PCI [HR = 0.19 (0.14-0.27)]. In a multivariable analysis, mortality was lower for patients taking simvastatin [HR = 0.62 (0.50-0.76)] and clopidogrel [HR = 0.58 (0.46-0.74)]. Costs for out-patient care accounted for 25% and drugs for 5% of total costs. If patients not treated with simvastatin or clopidogrel had received these drugs, an additional 154-306 lives might have been saved. Drug costs would be higher, but total costs lower. Thus, even expensive drugs may reduce overall costs.
