INTRODUCTION: Capacity constraints in Danish hearing healthcare may lead to diagnostic delays and repetitive pre-treatment audiological exams for hearing-impaired patients. This study investigated the effectiveness of remote ear-nose-throat (ENT) specialist assessments (RESA) for complicated hearing loss, comparing the accuracy of private ENT specialists and medical audiologists. METHODS: RESA screening accuracy was determined for four ENT specialists, individually and as subspecialised groups...

INTRODUCTION: Pre-graduate research is popular among medical students. Concerns about time constraints and lack of mentorship have been raised in international studies. The extent to which these issues affect Danish medical students remains unclear. We therefore aimed to assess the conditions and outcomes of pre-graduate research among medical students from the University of Copenhagen. METHODS: A descriptive, cross-sectional, questionnaire-based survey on experiences from pre-graduate research was distributed to medical students and recently graduated medical doctors from the University of Copenhagen who had engaged in full-time pre-graduate research...

INTRODUCTION: Complications and recurrence within benign salivary gland surgery are not systematically registered in Denmark. Patient-reported outcome measures are increasingly included in clinical and health policy decision-making, and therefore it is crucial that this type of data is valid. A patient-reported questionnaire regarding outcome after benign parotid gland surgery has been developed and implemented in a national German database. We aimed to translate the Parotidectomy Outcome Inventory 8 (POI-8) into Danish and validate it...

INTRODUCTION: Cellulitis is a common infection, especially among the elderly, and compression therapy is often recommended to reduce acute oedema and pain. A previous study showed that compression therapy led to a lower incidence of recurrent cellulitis in lower extremities in patients with chronic oedema. The aim of this study was to describe clinical characteristics of patients with cellulitis. METHODS: This was a retrospective descriptive study reviewing medical records and medicine registrations in patients ≥ 18 years with cellulitis...

Knee dislocations are complex and devastating injuries that are potentially limb threatening. A high level of suspicion is required to diagnose and treat these injuries properly and timely because some of the knee dislocations spontaneously reduce, and the seriousness of the injury might not be appreciated early. Early diagnosis of concomitant vascular injuries is imperative to avoid limb loss because the risk of amputation is high when diagnosis and timely intervention are delayed. It is recommended that serial ankle-brachial index (ABI) be performed in all patients with suspected knee dislocation...

INTRODUCTION: This retrospective cohort study aimed to examine whether implementing mandatory referral changed the composition of patients visiting the Accident and Emergency (A and E) Department in relation to severity, demographics and activity at injury. METHODS: Patients visiting the A and E Department at Odense University Hospital, Denmark, in 2008-2019, were divided into three time periods: before (four years before any changes in the operation of the A and E), transition period (the four years during which mandatory referral and the centralised emergency medical service were implemented) and after (the four years after these changes had been implemented)...

INTRODUCTION: Continuous peripheral nerve blocks (cPNBs) have shown favourable post-operative pain control results but may be associated with a risk for long-term neurological complications. This study sought to examine factors associated with persistent post-operative pain and potential neuropathy after orthopaedic lower-limb surgery with the use of post-operative cPNB. METHODS: Patients who underwent lower limb orthopaedic procedures with cPNBs between November 2021 to May 2022 were included...

INTRODUCTION: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is a minimally invasive procedure. Despite being less invasive than thoracotomy, post-operative pain remains a significant clinical problem. The aim of this study was to investigate if perioperative intravenous (IV) dexamethasone improves pain management in VATS. METHODS: Thirty-seven patients undergoing VATS with confirmed or suspected lung cancer were enrolled. The first 20 patients received standard care (Group 1) and the following 17 patients received standard care with addition of IV dexamethasone 8 mg (Group 2)...

INTRODUCTION: Tendinopathy and tendon tears of the gluteus medius and/or minimus (GMM) insertion at the greater trochanter are increasingly recognised internationally as a cause of recalcitrant lateral hip pain (LHP). The purpose of this study was to report the first Danish results of open surgical repair of GMM tears in female patients. METHODS: In this retrospective observational study, we included 67 women (68 hips) with a mean (95% confidence interval (CI)) age of 59 (56-61) years who underwent open GMM repair between September 2018 and June 2022...

INTRODUCTION: Pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions (DDIs) are challenging aspects of direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) therapy in patients with cancer. We evaluated the prevalence of potential DOAC/antineoplastic agent DDIs and the one-year cumulative incidence of switching from low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) to a DOAC in patients with cancer. METHODS: Patients with cancer and an indication of LMWH were included from Herlev and Gentofte Hospital, Denmark, in the 2014-2019 period...

INTRODUCTION: Optimal care for patients with simultaneous chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and asthma is often complicated due to interaction between these conditions. This study depicts the lack of attention to asthma within the otorhinolaryngological field, and the relationship between CRS and asthma, including the risk of revision surgery in such patients. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) because of CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and without nasal polyps in a five-year period...

INTRODUCTION: Chronic pain is a common complication after surgery and trauma. The incidence of chronic pain may potentially be reduced by effective management of severe acute pain, in hospital and during the subacute post-operative phase at home. METHODS: This was a cohort study from an outpatient follow-up service for patients with pain at discharge after orthopaedic surgery and trauma in a level 1 university hospital setting. The patients' charts were reviewed...

Neuropeptides represent the most diverse family of neurotransmitters counting numerous members and even more G protein-coupled receptors, all of which are potential targets for drug development. Here, we focus on galanin and its three receptors by describing their possible involvement in pain and regeneration. Although animal experiments indicate that galanin, together with other molecules, may act as an endogenous system protecting against pain and improving nerve growth, these results have so far not been translated into patient treatments...

INTRODUCTION: Renal transplant patients are prone to developing urinary tract infections (UTIs). However, the potential effect of a UTI on renal graft loss remains unclear. METHODS: We systematically surveyed the literature for a potential association between UTI and graft loss. Articles were identified in online databases using a specific search string, followed by post selection for meta-analysis following four inclusion criteria: 1) a clear definition of UTI and recurrent UTI, 2) n > 200, 3) patient age > 16 years and 4) inclusion of data on graft loss...

INTRODUCTION: We aimed to investigate "pain without loosening" as an indication for knee arthroplasty revisions and to screen for other indications potentially hidden in this category to improve future registration and enhance data quality in the Danish Knee Arthroplasty Register. METHODS: We included 104 patients undergoing revision knee arthroplasty for the indication "pain without loosening" from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2018 at five Danish centres. Medical records, radiographs and computed tomographies were reviewed...

INTRODUCTION: Portal pressure predicts the occurrence of decompensations in cirrhosis. Portal pressure is primarily measured via hepatic vein catheterisation (HVC), to which a transjugular liver biopsy (TJLB) may be added. Indications for HVC are mainly therapy control and prognosis. TJLB is performed when a percutaneous liver biopsy is contraindicated or for other diagnostic reasons. Both procedures have reported low complication rates. The aim of this study was to identify indications and 30-day postprocedural complications...
