AbstractObjectiveDesign and subjectsResultsConclusionChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common condition associated with age, multimorbidity and frequently involves the use of health care across levels. Understanding the factors associated with the initiation of long-term care is important when planning the future need for services. We describe healthcare use before and after the reception of any home care. We further studied the associations between healthcare use and first registered home care service and from first registered home care service to nursing home admission or death.Patients residing in Oslo or Trondheim at the time of first contact with a COPD primary diagnosis, 2009–2018. Patient data were linked across national and municipal registries, covering healthcare and sociodemographics. The sample consisted of 16,738 individuals.There was a marked increase in inpatient and outpatient hospital contacts in the years prior to and after the reception of any home care. Adjusted for comorbidities and sociodemographics, high numbers of GP consultations, and inpatient and outpatient hospital contacts for respiratory diagnoses were associated with a significantly higher likelihood of receiving home care the next year (hazard odds ratios > 1.3). Following the reception of home care, the type of home care service received (e.g. home nursing or short-term rehabilitation/treatment) was more important than outpatient services in predicting next-year nursing home admission or death.Including data on prior outpatient care when predicting future need for home care is beneficial. A high frequency (top 10%) of yearly GP, in- or outpatient hospital contacts can imply that the patient may be in need of home care in the near future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Muskel-skjelettsykdommer er et stort helseproblem og den hyppigste årsaken til sykefravær og arbeidsuførhet globalt og i Norge. Muskel-skjelettsykdommer er også den vanligste diagnosegruppa hos avtalefysioterapeuter i primærhelsetjenesten, der hovedoppgaven til fysioterapeuter er bedring av pasientens funksjon. Plager og smerter i muskulatur og ledd er komplekse, og psykiske helseplager opptrer ofte samtidig og kan forsterke kroppslige plager og redusere funksjon. Formålet med studien var å undersøke hvordan ulike biopsykososiale faktorer var assosiert med egenopplevd redusert arbeidsevne hos muskel-skjelettpasienter i primærhelsetjenesten. Videre skulle studien undersøke hvorvidt pasientenes arbeidsevne og psykiske helseplager endres i fysioterapibehandling og hvilken betydning psykiske helseplager kan ha for endringen i arbeidsevne. Logistisk regresjonsanalyse ble brukt til å vise at det var fem faktorer i gitt rekkefølge som var assosiert med redusert egenopplevd arbeidsevne i den endelige modellen: psykiske helseplager, redusert daglig funksjonsnivå, tungt fysisk arbeid, smerteintensitet og bevegelsesfrykt. Parede t-tester ble tatt i bruk for å undersøke endring i arbeidsevne og psykiske helseplager: Tre måneder etter første konsultasjon med fysioterapi viste resultatene bedring i egenopplevd arbeidsevne og reduksjon i psykiske helseplager hos deltakerne. Over 30% av deltakerne hadde psykiske helseplager ved oppstart av fysioterapi. Hvor mye arbeidsevnen hadde forbedret seg etter tre måneder var lite påvirket av deltakernes psykiske helseplager før behandling. Deltakere med psykiske helseplager ved oppstart skåret betydelig lavere på arbeidsevne ved begge tidspunkt. Avtalefysioterapeuter er viktige aktører i det tverrfaglige samarbeidet mellom helse og arbeid for å øke arbeidsdeltakelse og arbeidsevne hos pasienter med muskel-skjelettplager. Pasientenes sammensatte helseutfordringer utfordrer avtalefysioterapeutene til å utvide sitt kunnskapsfelt og sine behandlingsmetoder. Mange forhold påvirker arbeidsevnen. Fysioterapeutene må derfor bruke bred biopsykososial tilnærming i møte med pasientenes helseplager og funksjon og støtte pasienten i å identifisere hva som fremmer og hva som hemmer arbeidsdeltakelse. Musculoskeletal diseases represent a major health problem and are the most common cause of sickness absence and incapacity for work globally and in Norway. Patients with musculoskeletal disorders also constitute the most common diagnose in primary health care physiotherapy, where physiotherapists primarily work to improve the patient's function. Muscle and joint ailments and pains are complex and mental health problems often occur simultaneously and can aggravate physical ailments and reduce function. The aim of the present study was, firstly, to investigate the association between multiple biopsychosocial risk factors and reduced self-rated work ability in musculoskeletal patients in primary health care physiotherapy. Secondly, the study should investigate whether patients' ability to work and their mental health problems change in physiotherapy treatment and to which degree mental health problems may affect the change in ability to work. Logistic regression analysis was used to show that there were five factors in a given order that were associated with reduced self-rated work ability in the final model: mental health problems, reduced daily level of activity, heavy physical work, pain intensity and fear avoidance beliefs. Paired t-tests were employed to investigate changes in work ability and mental health problems: Three months after the first physiotherapy consultation, the results showed an improvement in self-rated work ability and a reduction in mental health problems among the participants. Over 30% of the participants had mental health problems at the first consultation. The change in the ability to work after three months was little affected by the participants' mental health problems before treatment began. Participants with mental health problems previous to treatment scored significantly lower on work ability at both times. Physiotherapists in primary health care play a crucial role in the interdisciplinary collaboration between health and work when it comes to increasing work participation and work ability in patients with musculoskeletal disorders. The patients' complex health problems challenge the physiotherapists to expand their field of knowledge and their treatment methods. Many conditions affect the ability to work. Physiotherapists must therefore use a broad biopsychosocial approach in meeting patients' health problems and function and support the patient in identifying what promotes and what inhibits work participation.

- Abstract
Objective: To investigate the associations between cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and the level of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and controls., Methods: In a cross-sectional comparative study, CRF was measured with a maximal treadmill test for estimation of peak oxygen uptake. Metabolic syndrome (MS), body composition, traditional CV risk factors, and inflammatory markers were assessed. Multivariable linear regression models were used to study the associations between CRF and CV risk factors. All models were adjusted for age, sex, and smoking, and for inflammation when C-reactive protein (CRP) level or erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were not already included as dependent variables., Results: A total of 126 patients (mean ± SD age 47.9 ± 10.8 years) and 111 controls (mean ± SD age 52.1 ± 11.1 years) were included. There were significant inverse associations between CRF and body mass index, waist circumference, triglycerides, CRP level, and ESR (P < 0.001-0.03) for patients and controls. Also, significant associations were found between CRF and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (β = 0.03, P < 0.001) and blood pressure (BP; β = -0.9 for systolic and β = -0.6 for diastolic; P < 0.01) in controls, but these associations were not found in patients (β = 0, P = 0.69 for HDL cholesterol; β = -0.04, P = 0.87 for systolic pressure; and β = -0.14, P = 0.34 for diastolic pressure) (additional adjustments for medication). Higher CRF was associated with a lower risk for MS in both patients (odds ratio [OR] 0.91, P = 0.03) and controls (OR 0.89, P = 0.01)., Conclusion: CRF was associated with favorable levels of CV risk factors and lower risk of MS in both AS patients and controls. However, established findings of an association between CRF and BP and HDL cholesterol in healthy adults were not confirmed in AS patients., (Copyright © 2013 by the American College of Rheumatology.)
