There are about 11304 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Denmark. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
The objective of this study is to confirm the safety and efficacy of the new Sentus OTW QP LV lead and Iperia ICD family. The study focuses on the safety and efficacy of the QP device system.
Chronic liver disease/fibrosis can be the result of various causes, and the result is that the liver tissue becomes stiff. ShearWave™ elastography, available on the Aixplorer® ultrasound system, is a method that can be used to measure the stiffness of organs in the body, for example the liver. This study will evaluate how this technology performs as a non-invasive test to stage liver fibrosis in patients with chronic liver disease.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the immune response in patients with necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTI). The investigation will focus on inflammatory and vasoactive biomarkers as prognostic markers of severity and mortality at admission to Rigshospitalet and the following 3 days
Acute deterioration among hospitalised patient can result in serious adverse events like cardiac arrest, unexpected death or unanticipated intensive care unit (ICU) admission. Most events are preceeded by deteriorating vital signs, and potentially avoidable. To detect and treat hospitalised at-risk patients early an early warning score (EWS) was introduced at the investigator site. EWS measures of a number of physiological parameters that are aggregated to a common score, that directs monitoring frequency, clinical interventions and competency of the provider. Patients with low scores (0 - 1) are monitored every 12th hour and seldom experience serious adverse events. The optimal monitoring frequency for this group is unknown, and presently based on a compromise between patient safety and work load issues. The aim of the present study is to explore if an 8 hourly monitoring interval (intervention) is correlated with a better outcome than 12 hour intervals (control), based on the number of patients that deteriorate to a higher EWS 24 hours after hospital admission in each group.
The purpose of this present study is to determine which surgery technic provides the best clinical outcome after medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction comparing suture anchors and screw fixation in medial femoral condyle.
The aim of the intervention is to examine the effect of a combination of the two bacterial strains BB-12 and LGG, provided for 6 month, on the prevalence of infections and allergic manifestations in small children, and how a combination of BB-12 and LGG affects the immune system, gastrointestinal tract and the microbiota. Children are enrolled during 2 winter seasons.
The purpose of this study is to improve secondary prevention of ischemic stroke patients by 1. Estimating prevalence and the prognostic significance of frequent premature atrial complexes in ischemic stroke patients in relation to death, recurrent stroke and atrial fibrillation. 2. Characterize ischemic stroke patients by 1. Echocardiographic characteristics 2. Biochemical markers 3. Plaque composition in the carotid arteries - in order to improve risk stratification.
The purpose of this study is to investigate, if the haemostasis is impaired in cardiac arrest patients during therapeutic hypothermia compared with normothermia.
Revision surgery after total hip or knee arthroplasty is an ongoing issue due to an increasing number of primary surgeries. Patients seek physicians due to pain. The cause is divided between loosening, infection or chronic pain. Some are operated on the suspicion of a chronic infection. However, postoperative microbiological testing does not always correlate with the suspicion and the operation may have been superfluous. The objective is to employ a highly advanced diagnostic algorithm based on state of the art diagnostic techniques in order to improve the basis of preoperative diagnosis. Through this approach treatment can be given according to the causal problem.
The main objective is to investigate the effects of perioperative nutrition on postoperative ileus and anastomotic leakage in patients undergoing colorectal surgery. Perioperative enteral nutrition is compared to the standard of care (fasting perioperatively).
