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 goal of this retrospective single-center chat review is to establish the efficacy and safety of a single dose of intravitreal faricimab (Vabysmo®) injection in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD), who were previously treated with aflibercept (Eylea®) and had persisting intraretinal or subretinal fluid despite frequent treatments.
In the realm of lung surgery, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) offers distinct advantages, including shorter hospital stays, reduced pain, improved quality of life, and increased postoperative mobility when compared to thoracotomy. Additionally, the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol in lung surgery, characterized by a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach, have streamlined postoperative recovery, resulting in early discharge and diminished postoperative complications. However, drawing from our extensive experience with fully implemented ERAS VATS for patients undergoing pulmonary lobectomy, we observed that approximately 45% of patients did not experience early discharge. Based on existing evidence, the length of stay (LOS) following wedge resection typically ranges from 3 to 6 days across various regions, including Europe, the United States, and China. However, there is a notable lack of procedure-specific data for ERAS VATS wedge resection to explore reasons of delaying discharge. This prompts us to undertake an investigation into individuals following pulmonary wedge resection under the same ERAS programs.
To advance the methodology for evaluating persons with heart disease and their maximal oxygen uptake, the primary aim of this study is to investigate the occurrence of a plateau in oxygen uptake. This plateau will be examined for the purpose of assessing VO2 max in persons enrolled in exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation. Furthermore, this study aims to investigate the age-related respiratory exchange ratio, and rating of perceived exertion, and describe their association with the presence of a plateau. Heart disease and characteristics for all participants are obtained. Participants underwent a maximal exercise test on an ergometer cycle with direct measurement of oxygen uptake to assess oxygen plateau attainment. This included measurement of the maximal oxygen uptake, respiratory exchange ratio, heart rate and the ratio of perceived exertion (BORG6-20).
The goal of this clinical, randomized trial is to compare the sleeping patterns and quality of life of children with chronic otitis media with effusion (OME) with or without tympanic tubes insertion. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does tympanic tube insertion have an effect on sleep quality in children with chronic OME? - Does tympanic tube insertion improve the quality of life for the children with chronic OME and their caregivers? Participants will have their movements during sleep and number of awakenings measured by an accelerometer placed on their wrist for 7 nights before and after tympanic tube insertion. Their caregivers will answer questionnaires regarding quality of life on behalf of the child. Researchers will compare with a control group of children who also is diagnosed with chronic OME. They will also have their sleep monitored for 7 nights and their caregivers will complete quality of life questionnaires, but the will not receive a tympanic tube. However the control group will be reassessed a month after baseline, and if they still qualify for tympanic tube insertion they will undergo the same routine as the intervention group.
This study examines subclinical lymphatic abnormalities in Tetralogy of Fallot patients, utilizing lymphatic magnetic resonance and near-infrared fluorescence imaging.
Childhood obesity is increasing worldwide and causes a major health concern. Only limited insight exists into the natural history of childhood obesity at children already classified as obese. It is necessary to identify possible windows of opportunities to initiate treatment and to prevent further weight gain later in life. This observational study follows the natural weight change in younger children with obesity without known intervention. The objective is to identify factors associated with achieving normal weight, having persistent obesity, or reaching higher levels of obesity, when following children age 5-10 years with obesity through childhood and puberty. Data from health check-ups at school and Danish registries will be used to answer the research question.
The aim of the feasibility study is twofold: 1) to test the feasibility of the study design, and 2) to test the preliminary efficacy and the acceptability of a new iCBT intervention when delivered with different levels of therapist support. The feasibility trial will provide important information on the initial participant responses, and on how to properly collect data in the subsequent RCT. The feasibility trial is conducted as a randomized study with 16 participants consisting of two conditions: 1) guided iCBT, and 2) on-demand iCBT, both to be completed over a 14-week period. Participants in the guided iCBT condition will receive the new iCBT intervention with planned feedback after each completed module. Participants in the on-demand iCBT condition will receive the intervention with on-demand feedback that is participant-initiated. In both conditions, the therapist may spend a max. of 15 minutes giving feedback per module. As there is no evidence on what amount of therapist support is sufficient for adolescents, the allowed time spent giving feedback will not differ between the two conditions in the feasibility trial. Thus, data on engagement will be collected to inform how the two treatment conditions differ. The trial includes data points at pre-treatment (T1) and post-treatment (T2) where the same measures will be administered as are planned in the RCT. Acceptability of the intervention will be investigated by conducting semi-structured interviews with the participants. The interview will include an evaluation of the intervention, client satisfaction and potential reasons for drop out. The results from the feasibility trial will be used to inform the subsequent RCT and to revise the intervention, procedures, and conditions if needed.
Nationwide cohort study on women undergoing epigastric hernia repair
The purpose of this study is to investigate the incidence and prevalence rates of multiply revised knee arthroplasty patients in Denmark from 1998-2021.
Even though medical treatment has improved within the last 10-15 years, patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA) still experience reduced quality of life, depression, anxiety, changes in family roles, work life, and social relationships. Particularly the newly diagnosed, require regular consultations and available support from health professionals, to be able to handle emotional, social, and physiological challenges. The hypothesis is that a self-management intervention can improve patients' ability to monitor their arthritis and respond to symptoms, reduce the risk of co-morbidities, and improve adherence. And also, that they can develop cognitive, behavioral, and emotional strategies to manage life with arthritis. There is a lack of disease-specific evidence, in integrated interventions with multiple components targeting patients with a newly diagnosed IA. In a previous study, the investigators developed a self-management intervention, and now wish to test it in a randomized feasibility study.
