  2. 1. Resampling Evaluation of Signal Detection and Classification : With Special Reference to Breast Cancer, Computer-Aided Detection and the Free-Response Approach

    Author : Anna Bornefalk Hermansson; Rolf Larsson; Ulf Olsson; Dankmar Böhning; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Statistics; breast cancer; trend modelling; FROC; confidence intervals; threshold independence; bootstrap; kernel density estimation; mammography; computer-aided detection; Statistik;

    Abstract : The first part of this thesis is concerned with trend modelling of breast cancer mortality rates. By using an age-period-cohort model, the relative contributions of period and cohort effects are evaluated once the unquestionable existence of the age effect is controlled for. READ MORE

  6. 4. The applicability of patient-reported outcomes in primary care : monitoring of patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

    Author : Mika Nokela; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Asthma; COPD; Primary care; Health related quality of life;

    Abstract : Aims of the thesis: The general objective of this project was to identify and to some extent remove obstacles in the incorporation of disease-specific quality of life and/or health-status assessments in the management of asthma and COPD patients in primary care. The measurement properties, the design and the administrative complexity of the instruments at hand have been scrutinized with the intent to make it possible for primary care to integrate a patient perspective in the treatment and monitoring of asthma and COPD.
