   Abstract : Introduction: The general aim of this thesis is to contribute to the use of health economic evidence for informed health care decisions in low-resource settings, using antenatal care (ANC) policy in Rwanda as a case study. Despite impressive and sustained progress over the last 15 years, Rwanda’s maternal mortality ratio is still among the highest in the world. READ MORE

   Author : Mimmi Åström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Introduction: Around the world, life expectancy is increasing but not all years are lived in full health. Hence it is important to look beyond survival rates and also measure healthrelated quality of life. READ MORE

5. 13. Making use of patient-reported outcome measures in health care : the case of EQ-5D in the Swedish national quality registries

   Author : Olivia Ernstsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Introduction: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) have been widely used in clinical trials and research, for example to monitor the health of specific populations or to evaluate treatment effects. In the Swedish national quality registries (NQRs), structured individual-level data for specific patient populations are collected in routine health care settings. READ MORE

6. 14. Health-related quality of life of different patient groups in Swedish national quality registers : longitudinal studies of EQ-5D data and application of different value sets

   Author : Fitsum Sebsibe Teni; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: EQ-5D data on patients’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL) are collected in roughly 40% of about 100 National Quality Registers (NQRs) in Sweden. The aim of the thesis was to increase knowledge on the use of the EQ-5D-3L in assessing HRQoL of patients in different NQRs and to compare different value sets used to describe HRQoL. READ MORE

7. 15. Dislocation of hip arthroplasty in patients with femoral neck fractures

   Author : Anders Enocson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Femoral neck fractures; Hip arthroplasty; Surgical treatment; Hip dislocations; Cognitive disorders; Quality of life; EQ-5D;

   Abstract : Treatment of displaced fractures of the femoral neck with a hemiarthroplasty (HA) or a total hip arthroplasty (THA) today constitutes standard procedures with a good and predictable outcome with regard to the need for revision surgery, hip function and the health-related quality of life (HRQoL). However, dislocation of the prosthesis remains a substantial clinical problem in this patient group and the dislocation rate is considerably higher than what can be expected following a THA in patients with osteoarthritis.
