  • Diagnosis and Mortality of Emergency
    Søvsø et al. BMC Health Services Research (2018) 18:548 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12913-018-3361-x RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Diagnosis and mortality of emergency department patients in the North Denmark region Morten Breinholt Søvsø1* , Sabina Bay Hermansen1, Emil Færk1, Tim Alex Lindskou1, Marc Ludwig2, Jørn Munkhof Møller3, Jelena Jonciauskiene4 and Erika Frischknecht Christensen1,5 Abstract Background: Emergency departments handle a large proportion of acute patients. In 2007, it was recommended centralizing the Danish healthcare system and establishing emergency departments as the main common entrance for emergency patients. Since this reorganization, few studies describing the emergency patient population in this new setting have been carried out and none describing diagnoses and mortality. Hence, we aimed to investigate diagnoses and 1- and 30-day mortality of patients in the emergency departments in the North Denmark Region during 2014–2016. Methods: Population-based historic cohort study in the North Denmark Region (580,000 inhabitants) of patients with contact to emergency departments during 2014–2016. The study included patients who were referred by general practitioners (daytime and out-of-hours), by emergency medical services or who were self-referred. Primary diagnoses (ICD-10) were retrieved from the regional Patient Administrative System. For non-specific diagnoses (ICD-10 chapter ‘Symptoms and signs’ and ‘Other factors’), we searched the same hospital stay for a specific diagnosis and used this, if one was given. We performed descriptive analysis reporting distribution and frequency of diagnoses. Moreover, 1- and 30-day mortality rate estimates were performed using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. Results: We included 290,590 patient contacts corresponding to 166 ED visits per 1000 inhabitants per year.

  • The Cimbri of Denmark, the Norse and Danish Vikings, and Y-DNA Haplogroup R-S28/U152 - (Hypothesis A)
    The Cimbri of Denmark, the Norse and Danish Vikings, and Y-DNA Haplogroup R-S28/U152 - (Hypothesis A) David K. Faux The goal of the present work is to assemble widely scattered facts to accurately record the story of one of Europe’s most enigmatic people of the early historic era – the Cimbri. To meet this goal, the present study will trace the antecedents and descendants of the Cimbri, who reside or resided in the northern part of the Jutland Peninsula, in what is today known as the County of Himmerland, Denmark. It is likely that the name Cimbri came to represent the peoples of the Cimbric Peninsula and nearby islands, now called Jutland, Fyn and so on. Very early (3rd Century BC) Greek sources also make note of the Teutones, a tribe closely associated with the Cimbri, however their specific place of residence is not precisely located. It is not until the 1st Century AD that Roman commentators describe other tribes residing within this geographical area. At some point before 500 AD, there is no further mention of the Cimbri or Teutones in any source, and the Cimbric Cheronese (Peninsula) is then called Jutland. As we shall see, problems in accomplishing this task are somewhat daunting. For example, there are inconsistencies in datasources, and highly conflicting viewpoints expressed by those interpreting the data. These difficulties can be addressed by a careful sifting of diverse material that has come to light largely due to the storehouse of primary source information accessed by the power of the Internet. Historical, archaeological and genetic data will be integrated to lift the veil that has to date obscured the story of the Cimbri, or Cimbrian, peoples.

Collaboration has paved the road to success in North Denmark. Over the years, we have successfully moved the region in the right direction through a number of important parameters. Together, we have generated development and growth that benefit the whole of North Denmark, based on a common understanding of the region’s challenges and opportunities. We want to continue this targeted work in a new Strategy for Regional Development (RUS) for the 2020-2023 period. This strategy differs significantly from our previous Regional Strategy for Growth and Development (REVUS), as business development will no longer be one of the Regional Council’s focuses, in accordance with national policy. Instead, there are plenty of other areas and potential to address, such as education, developing the skills of the future workforce, the green transition, climate change adaptation, the environment and international collaboration. We are also working with public transport and infrastructure, as well as initiatives for North Denmark’s rural areas, nature and culture.
