The aim was to study the association between asthma and mortality in Sweden and Norway and to what extent educational level modifies this association.Participants and Methods: Within the Nordic EpiLung Study, > 56,000 individuals aged 30– 69 years participated in population-based surveys on asthma and associated risk factors in Sweden and Norway during 2005– 2007. Data on educational level and 10-year all-cause mortality were linked by national authorities. The fraction of mortality risk attributable to asthma was calculated, and Cox regression was used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) for mortality related to asthma, stratified by educational level.Results: In total, 5.5% of all deaths was attributed to asthma. When adjusted for potential confounders, the HR for mortality related to asthma was 1.71 (95% CI 1.52– 1.93). Those with primary level of education had higher hazard of all-cause death related to asthma than those with tertiary level (HR 1.80, 95% CI 1.48– 2.18, vs HR 1.39, 95% CI 0.99– 1.95).Conclusion: Asthma was associated with an overall 71% increased all-cause mortality and 5.5% of deaths can be attributed to asthma. Educational levels modified the risk of mortality associated with asthma, with the highest risk among those with primary education.Keywords: epidemiology, cohort, prognosis

Abstract

Abstract Introduction In epidemiological studies, the age at asthma onset is often defined by patients’ self-reported age at diagnosis. The reliability of this report might be questioned. Our objective was to evaluate the agreement between self-reported and registered age at asthma diagnosis and assess features contributing to the agreement. Methods As part of the FinEsS respiratory survey in 2016, randomly selected population samples of 13,435 from Helsinki and 8000 from Western Finland were studied. Self-reported age at asthma diagnosis was compared to age at asthma diagnosis registered in the Finnish register on special reimbursement for asthma medication. The reimbursement right is based on lung function criteria according to GINA and Finnish guidelines. If the difference was less than 5 years, self-reported diagnosis was considered reliable. Features associated with the difference between self-reported and registered age at asthma diagnosis were evaluated. Results Altogether 197 subjects from Helsinki and 144 from Western Finland were included. Of these, 61.9% and 77.8%, respectively, reported age at diagnosis reliably. Median difference between self-reported and registered age at diagnoses was − 2.0 years (IQR − 9.0 to 0) in Helsinki and − 1.0 (IQR − 4.3 to 0) in Western Finland indicating earlier self-reported age at diagnosis. More reliable self-report was associated with non-allergic subjects and subjects who reported having asthma diagnosis more recently. Conclusions Agreement between self-reported and registered age at asthma diagnosis was good especially with adult-onset asthma patients. Poor agreement in early-onset asthma could be related to delay in registration due to reimbursement criteria.

Abstract

Abstract Systematically assessing asthma during follow-up contacts is important to accomplish comprehensive treatment. No previous long-term studies exist on how comorbidities, lifestyle factors, and asthma management details are documented in scheduled asthma contacts in primary health care (PHC). We showed comorbidities and lifestyle factors were poorly documented in PHC in this real-life, 12-year, follow-up study. Documented information on rhinitis was found in 8.9% and BMI, overweight, or obesity in ≤1.5% of the 542 scheduled asthma contacts. Of the 145 patients with scheduled asthma contacts, 6.9% had undergone revision of their inhalation technique; 16.6% had documentation of their asthma action plan. Screening of respiratory symptoms was recorded in 79% but nasal symptoms in only 15.5% of contacts. Lifestyle guidance interventions were found in

Abstract

Introduction A better understanding of the earliest stages of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) could expedite the development or administration of treatments. Large population biobanks hold the promise to identify individuals at an elevated risk of AD and related dementias based on health registry information. Here, we establish the protocol for an observational clinical recall and biomarker study called TWINGEN with the aim to identify individuals at high risk of AD by assessing cognition, health and AD-related biomarkers. Suitable candidates were identified and invited to participate in the new study among THL Biobank donors according to TWINGEN study criteria.Methods and analysis A multi-centre study (n=800) to obtain blood-based biomarkers, telephone-administered and web-based memory and cognitive parameters, questionnaire information on lifestyle, health and psychological factors, and accelerometer data for measures of physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep. A subcohort is being asked to participate in an in-person neuropsychological assessment (n=200) and wear an Oura ring (n=50). All participants in the TWINGEN study have genome-wide genotyping data and up to 48 years of follow-up data from the population-based older Finnish Twin Cohort (FTC) study of the University of Helsinki. The data collected in TWINGEN will be returned to THL Biobank from where it can later be requested for other biobank studies such as FinnGen that supported TWINGEN.Ethics and dissemination This recall study consists of FTC/THL Biobank/FinnGen participants whose data were acquired in accordance with the Finnish Biobank Act. The recruitment protocols followed the biobank protocols approved by Finnish Medicines Agency. The TWINGEN study plan was approved by the Ethics Committee of Hospital District of Helsinki and Uusimaa (number 16831/2022). THL Biobank approved the research plan with the permission no: THLBB2022_83.

Abstract

AbstractBackground Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a significant mode of death causing 15-20% of all deaths in high-income countries. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common cause of SCD in both sexes, and SCD is often the first manifestation of underlying CAD in women. This case-control study aimed to determine the factors associated with SCD due to CAD in women.Methods The study group consisted of women with CAD-related SCD (N = 888) derived from the Fingesture study conducted in Northern Finland from 1998 to 2017. All SCDs underwent medicolegal autopsy. The control group consisted of women with angiographically verified CAD without SCD occurring during the 5-year-follow-up (N = 610). To compare these groups, we used medical records, autopsy findings, echocardiograms, and electrocardiograms (ECGs).Results Subjects with SCD were older (73.2 ± 11.3 vs. 68.8 ± 8.0, p

Abstract

Abstract Alcohol is known to have an immediate effect on cardiac rhythm, and previous studies have found that a notable proportion of sudden cardiac deaths (SCD) occur after alcohol intake. The objective of the present study was to investigate the association between the timing of alcohol intake and SCD. Our study population is drawn from the Fingesture study, which includes 5869 consecutive SCD cases from Northern Finland who underwent medicolegal autopsy 1998–2017. Toxicological analysis was performed if there was any suspicion of toxic exposure, or if there was no obvious immediate cause of SCD at autopsy. We found that 1563 (27%) of all SCD victims had alcohol in blood or urine at autopsy (mean age (61 ± 10 years, 88% male). Eighty-six percent of alcohol-related SCD victims had higher urine alcohol concentration than blood alcohol concentration, referring to the late-stage inebriation. These results suggest that the majority of alcohol-related SCDs occur at the late stage of inebriation.

Abstract

Abstract Smoking among asthmatics is common and associates with poorer asthma control, more rapid lung function decline and higher health care costs in dose-dependent manner. No previous real-life studies exist, however, on how smoking status and pack-years are documented in scheduled asthma contacts in primary health care (PHC) during long-term follow-up, and how often patients are advised to quit smoking. In this real-life 12-year follow-up study, we showed that out of all scheduled PHC asthma contacts (n = 603) smoking was mentioned only in 17.2% and pack-years only in 6.5%. Smoking data was not recorded even once in 70.9% of never smokers, 64.7% of ex-smokers and 27.3% of current smokers. Smoking including pack-years were mentioned more often if nurse took part on the scheduled contact. For current smokers, smoking cessation was recommended only in 21.7% of their scheduled contacts. Current smokers used more antibiotics and had more unscheduled health care contacts during follow-up.

However, the relationship between suPAR and clinical asthma features is poorly understood.Objective: To examine associations of serum suPAR levels with clinical characteristics of asthma and to define the phenotype with high suPAR levels in patients with adult-onset asthma.Methods: Serum suPAR levels were measured with ELISA from patients with adult-onset asthma participating in the 12-year follow-up visit in the Seinäjoki Adult Asthma Study.Results: In total, 201 patients were divided into quartiles according to suPAR values. High suPAR patients had more severe asthma symptoms and poorer asthma control. They also had higher levels of interleukin 8 (IL-8), interleukin 6 (IL-6), matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9), and blood neutrophil counts than those with low suPAR levels. The use of high-dose inhaled and oral corticosteroids was more common in patients with elevated suPAR. Such patients also had visited healthcare more frequently during the follow-up period, had more comorbidities, and were physically less active than those with low suPAR levels. The above-mentioned results remained similar after excluding the patients with co-existing COPD; only association to hospitalizations was lost. In multivariable binary regression analyses, the highest suPAR quartile was associated with higher cumulative dispensed oral corticosteroid use, more severe symptoms, and uncontrolled asthma.Conclusion: High suPAR levels occur in uncontrolled adult-onset asthma patients characterized by neutrophilic inflammation, high corticosteroid use, frequent healthcare visits, and multimorbidity with unhealthy lifestyle. This biomarker could be useful in determining asthma phenotypes and target new asthma treatments.Keywords: asthma, adult-onset, neutrophil, phenotypes, suPAR, uncontrolled

Abstract

Aim: Efficient mitigation of the biodiversity crisis requires targeted conservation actions in locations with high species richness, the presence of endangered species and unique species communities. However, prioritising sites remains challenging because of sparse knowledge on biodiversity, limiting the possibility of communicating efficiently with local decision makers. We examine easy‐to‐replicate, yet robust, methods to identify areas with high conservation values on large spatial scales using data filtering and complementary biodiversity indicators based on species records from a biodiversity information facility. Location: Finland, Europe. Methods: We illustrate the protocol by focusing on Lepidoptera in Finnish municipal districts. We mobilised over 3 million species records on 878 native Lepidoptera (2001–2020) from the Finnish Biodiversity Information Facility. We estimated the richness of overall and endangered species using species accumulation curves, as well as the uniqueness of species communities, using measures of local contribution to beta diversity (LCBD). After testing for multiple thresholds and their effect on indicator accuracy, 97 districts with >5000 records were included in the analyses. Results: Estimated overall species richness was highest on the southern coast and significantly decreased in the North, following a known pattern with Lepidoptera in Finland. Species richness was not the highest in the districts with the greatest number of records and the ranking differed from the raw data, demonstrating the importance of correcting for sampling intensity. The estimated number of endangered species correlated with overall species richness, except in northernmost districts, where the proportion of endangered species was exceptionally high. High LCBD replacement (i.e. unique species communities) was concentrated in the Southwest (hemi‐boreal) and North (northern boreal) of the country. Main Conclusions: We provided an example and interpretations of how scalable biodiversity indicators based on accumulation curves and LCBD analyses, and careful data filtering (thresholds) can be used to identify sites with conservation priorities from multi‐sourced species records.

Abstract

Abstract Background Poor treatment compliance is a common problem in the treatment of asthma. To our knowledge, no previous long-term follow-up studies exist on how scheduled asthma follow-up contacts occur in primary health care (PHC) versus secondary care and how these contacts relate to adherence to medication and in participation to further scheduled asthma contacts. The aim of this study was to evaluate occurrence of scheduled asthma contacts and treatment compliance in PHC versus secondary care, and to identify the factors associated with non-participation to scheduled contacts. Methods Patients with new adult-onset asthma (n = 203) were followed for 12 years in a real-life asthma cohort of the Seinäjoki Adult Asthma Study (SAAS). The first contacts were mainly carried out in secondary care and therefore the actual follow-up time including PHC visits was 10 years. Results A majority (71%) of the patients had ≥ 2 scheduled asthma contacts during 10-year follow-up and most of them (79%) mainly in PHC. Patients with follow-up contacts mainly in PHC had better adherence to inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) medication during the whole 12-year period compared to patients in secondary care. In the study population, 29% of the patients had only 0–1 scheduled asthma contacts during the follow-up. Heavy alcohol consumption predicted poor participation in scheduled contacts. Conclusions Patients with mainly PHC scheduled asthma contacts were more adherent to ICS medication than patients in the secondary care. Based on our results it is necessary to pay more attention to actualization of asthma follow-up visits and systematic assessment of asthma patients including evaluation of alcohol consumption. Trial registration Seinäjoki Adult Asthma Study is retrospectively registered at www.ClinicalTrials.gov with identifier number NCT02733016. Registered 11 April 2016.

Abstract

ABSTRACTAdherence to inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) has been described as poor. In adherence studies, if the actual prescribed dosing is not available, generic defined daily doses (DDD) are applied instead when assessing adherence. We evaluated asthma patients’ adherence in a large prospective follow-up survey. We also analysed whether World Health Organization (WHO) and Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) reference doses give different results. The current study was cross-sectional and included respondents attending to HeSSup follow-up questionnaire in 2012. Altogether 1,141 of 12,854 adult participants answered positively to the question about having asthma. According to the Finnish Social Insurance Institutions’ medication register, 686 of them had purchased ICS medication during 2011. DDDs for ICS by WHO as well as medium doses from GINA report were used as reference doses to evaluate adherence. To estimate adherence to ICS, the proportion of days covered (PDC) over one year was calculated for every patient. If the lower limit of GINA medium ICS dose was used as a reference, 65% of the patients were adherent (PDC ≥ 80%). Use of WHO’s DDD as reference halved the proportion of adherent patients. Adherence was higher among those using a combination inhaler of corticosteroid and long-acting β2-agonist compared to those using steroid only inhalers. Use of WHO’s daily defined doses as reference values may lead to underestimation of adherence to inhaled corticosteroids. Thus, attention should be paid when choosing the reference doses for the evaluation of adherence to inhaled corticosteroids in asthma.

Abstract

IntroductionThe risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD) increases with ageing.MethodsWe evaluated causes and characteristics of unexpected SCD in SCD victims aged ≥ 80 years in a consecutive series of 5,869 SCD victims in Northern Finland. All the victims underwent medico-legal autopsy as medico-legal autopsy is mandatory in cases of unexpected sudden death in Finland. All the non-cardiac deaths such as pulmonary embolism and cerebral hemorrhage were excluded from the study, as were unnatural deaths such as intoxications.ResultsAmong SCD victims ≥ 80 years, 91.0% of SCDs were due to ischemic heart disease (IHD) determined in autopsy and 9.0% due to non-ischemic heart disease (NIHD), whereas among those < 80 years, only 72.6% of SCDs were due to IHD and 27.4% due to NIHD (P < .001). Severe fibrosis in myocardium was more common whereas heart weight and liver weight, body mass index and abdominal fat thickness, were lower among SCD victims aged ≥ 80 years than among victims aged < 80 years. In those with IHD as etiology of SCD, at least 75% stenosis in one or more major coronary vessels was more common in SCD victims aged ≥ 80 years than among victims aged < 80 years (P = .001). SCD victims 80 years or older were less likely to die during physical activity than those under 80 years old (5.6% vs. 15.9%, P < .001). Dying in sauna was more common among those ≥ 80 years than among those < 80 years (5.5% vs. 2.6%, P < .001).ConclusionIn victims of unexpected SCD aged ≥ 80 years, the autopsy-based etiology of SCD was more commonly IHD than in those aged < 80 years. In SCD victims aged ≥ 80 years, severe fibrosis in myocardium, representing arrhythmic substrate, was more common than in the younger ones.

Abstract

Objectives To recontact biobank participants and collect cognitive, behavioural and lifestyle information via a secure online platform.Design Biobank-based recontacting pilot study.Setting Three Finnish biobanks (Helsinki, Auria, Tampere) recruiting participants from February 2021 to July 2021.Participants All eligible invitees were enrolled in FinnGen by their biobanks (Helsinki, Auria, Tampere), had available genetic data and were >18 years old. Individuals with severe neuropsychiatric disease or cognitive or physical disabilities were excluded. Lastly, 5995 participants were selected based on their polygenic score for cognitive abilities and invited to the study. Among invitees, 1115 had successfully participated and completed the study questionnaire(s).Outcome measures The primary outcome was the participation rate among study invitees. Secondary outcomes included questionnaire completion rate, quality of data collected and comparison of participation rate boosting strategies.Results The overall participation rate was 18.6% among all invitees and 23.1% among individuals aged 18–69. A second reminder letter yielded an additional 9.7% participation rate in those who did not respond to the first invitation. Recontacting participants via an online healthcare portal yielded lower participation than recontacting via physical letter. The completion rate of the questionnaire and cognitive tests was high (92% and 85%, respectively), and measurements were overall reliable among participants. For example, the correlation (r) between self-reported body mass index and that collected by the biobanks was 0.92.Conclusion In summary, this pilot suggests that recontacting FinnGen participants with the goal to collect a wide range of cognitive, behavioural and lifestyle information without additional engagement results in a low participation rate, but with reliable data. We suggest that such information be collected at enrolment, if possible, rather than via post hoc recontacting.

Abstract

Background and Aim: The relationship between socioeconomic status (SES), asthma and mortality is complex and multifaceted, and it is not established if educational level modifies the association between asthma and mortality. The aim was to study the association between asthma and mortality in Sweden and Norway and to what extent educational level modifies this association. Participants and Methods: Within the Nordic EpiLung Study, >56,000 individuals aged 30–69 years participated in population-based surveys on asthma and associated risk factors in Sweden and Norway during 2005–2007. Data on educational level and 10-year all-cause mortality were linked by national authorities. The fraction of mortality risk attributable to asthma was calculated, and Cox regression was used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) for mortality related to asthma, stratified by educational level. Results: In total, 5.5% of all deaths was attributed to asthma. When adjusted for potential confounders, the HR for mortality related to asthma was 1.71 (95% CI 1.52–1.93). Those with primary level of education had higher hazard of all-cause death related to asthma than those with tertiary level (HR 1.80, 95% CI 1.48–2.18, vs HR 1.39, 95% CI 0.99–1.95). Conclusion: Asthma was associated with an overall 71% increased all-cause mortality and 5.5% of deaths can be attributed to asthma. Educational levels modified the risk of mortality associated with asthma, with the highest risk among those with primary education.

Abstract

Abstract The contribution of genetic variants to non-ischemic sudden cardiac death (SCD) due to acquired myocardial diseases is unclear. We studied whether SCD victims with hypertension/obesity related hypertrophic myocardial disease harbor potentially disease associated gene variants. The Fingesture study has collected data from 5869 autopsy-verified SCD victims in Northern Finland. Among SCD victims, 740 (13%) had hypertension and/or obesity as the most likely explanation for myocardial disease with hypertrophy and fibrosis. We performed next generation sequencing using a panel of 174 cardiac genes for 151 such victims with the best quality of DNA. We used 48 patients with hypertension and hypertrophic heart as controls. Likely pathogenic variants were identified in 15 SCD victims (10%) and variants of uncertain significance (VUS) were observed in additional 43 SCD victims (28%). In controls, likely pathogenic variants were present in two subjects (4%; p = 0.21) and VUSs in 12 subjects (25%; p = 0.64). Among SCD victims, presence of potentially disease-related variants was associated with lower mean BMI and heart weight. Potentially disease related gene variants are common in non-ischemic SCD but further studies are required to determine specific contribution of rare genetic variants to the extent of acquired myocardial diseases leading to SCD.

Abstract

AbstractIntroduction Non-ischaemic heart disease (NIHD) is the underlying pathology in∼20% of all sudden cardiac deaths (SCDs). Heavy drinking is known to be associated with SCD due to ischaemic heart disease, but studies on association of recent alcohol consumption and SCD in patients with NIHD are scarce. We evaluated the blood alcohol levels of autopsy verified non-ischaemic SCD victims.Methods Study population was derived from the Finnish Genetic Study of Arrhythmic Events (Fingesture) (n = 5869, mean age 65 ± 12, 79% males). All deaths occurred in Northern Finland during 1998–2017. All victims underwent a medico-legal autopsy. Subjects of SCD due to ischaemic heart disease were excluded.Results A total of 1301 (mean age 57 ± 12, 78% males) victims of SCD due to NIHD were included in the study. The blood ethanol level was elevated in 543 (42%) subjects, out of which the blood alcohol level was ≥0.10%in 339 (62%) subjects and ≥0.15%in 252 (46%) subjects. Male SCD victims had alcohol in blood more frequently compared to females (45% versus 31%, p

Abstract

Objective: Cardiac hypertrophy with varying degrees of myocardial fibrosis is commonly associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) related sudden cardiac death (SCD), especially in young victims among whom patterns of coronary artery lesions do not entirely appear to explain the cause of SCD. Our aim was to study the genetic background of hypertrophy, with or without fibrosis, among ischemic SCD victims with single vessel CAD.Methods: The study population was derived from the Fingesture study, consisting of all autopsy-verified SCDs in Northern Finland between the years 1998 and 2017 (n = 5,869). We carried out targeted next-generation sequencing using a panel of 174 genes associated with myocardial structure and ion channel function in 95 ischemic-SCD victims (mean age 63.6 ± 10.3 years; 88.4% males) with single-vessel CAD in the absence of previously diagnosed CAD and cardiac hypertrophy with or without myocardial fibrosis at autopsy.Results: A total of 42 rare variants were detected in 43 subjects (45.3% of the study subjects). Five variants in eight subjects (8.4%) were classified as pathogenic or likely pathogenic. We observed 37 variants of uncertain significance in 39 subjects (40.6%). Variants were detected in myocardial structure protein coding genes, associated with arrhythmogenic right ventricular, dilated, hypertrophic and left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathies. Also, variants were detected in ryanodine receptor 2 (RYR2), a gene associated with both cardiomyopathies and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardias.Conclusions: Rare variants associated with cardiomyopathies, in the absence of anatomic evidence of the specific inherited cardiomyopathies, were common findings among CAD-related SCD victims with single vessel disease and myocardial hypertrophy found at autopsies, suggesting that these variants may modulate the risk for fatal arrhythmias and SCD in ischemic disease.

Abstract

•Population-scale genomics (N = 937 939) allowed assembly of a large FVL/PTGM double-heterozygous cohort while mitigating ascertainment bias.•FVL/PTGM DH appeared to be more common than FVL homozygosity and conferred a similar risk of venous thrombosis.
