    Abstract: Background: Although having a long tradition in cardiovascular epidemiologic research, nationwide data on cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence and morbidity has not been available in Norway. Objectives: The main objectives of The Cardiovascular Disease in Norway (CVDNOR) project are 1) to study trends in CVD incidence, prevalence, survival and mortality and 2) providing CVD endpoints for national and regional health surveys and clinical studies. Methods: CVDNOR includes information from all hospital stays with a CVD, including congenital heart defects, or diabetes mellitus (DM) primary or secondary diagnosis code during 1994-2009. Information was retrieved from the electronic Patient Administrative Systems (PAS) from all Norwegian somatic hospitals. Data include age, gender, municipality of residence, hospitalization and discharge dates, main and secondary diagnoses and CVD-related procedure codes. All deaths due to CVD or DM are also included, as well as sociodemographic information and linkage to Cohort Norway (CONOR). In sub-projects we have also linked CVDNOR to the Medical Birth Registry of Norway and to the Cancer Registry. Results: During 1994-2009, 1.3 million patients (4.3 mill hospitalizations) had a CVD diagnosis or procedure code, or DM. Of these, 470895 (35.8%) died during 1994-2010. In addition, 68523 men and women died from CVD without being hospitalized for CVD or DM during the same period. Among 173243 CONOR participants, 9075 (5%) died after participating in the health survey and through 2010. A total of 44118 (25.5%) CONOR participants had a CVD and 7575 (4.4%) had a DM related hospitalization after participating in CONOR, through 2009. In CVDNOR, 53039 (4%) had congenital heart defect codes. Conclusions: CVDNOR will be a valuable source of information supporting future epidemiologic research, with important implications for prevention and treatment strategies.

    Abstract: Foreldre redder mer enn 100 spedbarn hvert år i Norge fordi de lar dem sove på ryggen. Medisinsk fødselsregister har vært sentral i å vise at krybbedød økte allerede på slutten av 1970-tallet, at økningen skyldtes den populære sovestillingen mageleie, at ryggleie hindrer krybbedød, og at vi fortsatt må overvåke hyppigheten av krybbedød og forekomsten av risikofaktorene i spedbarnspopulasjonen. Epidemiologiske studier danner det viktigste bevisgrunnlaget for årsaken til krybbedød

    Abstract:  SAMMENDRAGTotal homocystein (tHcy) er etablert som risikofaktor for hjerte- og karsykdom. Vi har studert determinanterav plasma tHcy i et utvalg av den voksne norske befolkning basert på undersøkelse utført av Statenshelseundersøkelser i samarbeid med Universitetet i Bergen i 1992-1993. Data ble innhentet ved kliniskundersøkelse, utfylling av tre spørreskjema og ved blodtester. I alt 18 043 personer i alderen 40-67 år møttetil undersøkelse og fikk målt plasma tHcy. Plasma folat, plasma kobalamin og 677C →T mutasjonen i genetfor metylentetrahydrofolatreduktase (MTHFR) er bestemt i et underutvalg på 329 personer og på personermed svært høye tHcy verdier ( ≥ 40 μmol/L). Resultatene fra Homocysteinundersøkelsen i Hordaland harvist at kjønn, alder, folatinntak, røykevaner og kaffeforbruk er de sterkeste determinanter for plasma tHcynivå, mens kobalamininntak, fysisk aktivitet, blodtrykk og kolesterolnivå er mindre sterke determinanter.Bruk av multivitaminer eller B-vitaminer er forbundet med spesielt lave tHcy nivåer. Personer med tHcy ≥40 μmol/L er karakterisert ved høy forekomst (73%) av homozygositet for 677C →T mutasjonen i MTHFRgenet og lavt folatnivå. Vi konkluderer derfor med at livsstil og etablerte risikofaktorer for hjerte- ogkarsykdom er vesentlige for nivået av plasma tHcy i den generelle voksne norske befolkning.Nygård O, Refsum H, Ueland PM, Tverdal A, Vollset SE. Homocysteine and lifestyle. The HordalandHomocysteine Study. Nor J Epidemiol 1997; 7 (2): 221-224.ENGLISH SUMMARYTotal homocysteine (tHcy) concentration is an established cardiovascular risk factor. We have studieddeterminants of plasma tHcy among 18 043 subjects aged 40-67 years from Hordaland county in WesternNorway who participated in a health screening programme in 1992-1993. Gender, age, folate intake,smoking habits and coffee consumption are the strongest determinants of plasma tHcy level, whereascobalamin intake, physical activity, blood pressure and total cholesterol level are weaker determinants. Useof multivitamins or B-vitamin supplements are associated with particularly low tHcy levels. In patients withseverely elevated tHcy ( ≥ 40 μmol/L, n=67), the combination of homozygosity for the 677C→T mutation inthe methylenetetrahydrofolate gene and low plasma folate levels is a dominant finding whereas a minorproportion has overt cobalamin deficiency. We conclude that lifestyle and established cardiovascular riskfactors are important determinants of the plasma tHcy level in an adult Norwegian population.

    Abstract: While Norway has many outstanding health registries that are used as a foundation for surveillance, quality control and epidemiologic research, it was recognized that a knowledge gap existed regarding the prevalence, incidence, and quality of health care delivery for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) which remains the primary cause of death in the country. Given broad agreement for the need for a registry by patient organizations, research environments and health authorities, the Norwegian Parliament decided to establish the Norwegian Cardiovascular Disease Registry (NCVDR) in March 2010 and then adopted new regulations in December 2011 which established the NCVDR. The registry consists of a core registry housed and maintained by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH) that is supplemented with information from the medical quality registries housed and maintained by the hospital trusts. Given the burden of CVD among patients with diabetes and the unique challenges of medical care for CVD patients with diabetes, the registries also provides a new opportunity to advance diabetes research in Norway.
