Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Use of objectively measured physical activity in older adults to assess relationship between PA and risk of all‐causes mortality is scarce and associations based on accelerometry and questionnaire with the risk of mortality are evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
The association between length of stay in the emergency department and short-term mortality
Torgny Wessman,Johan Ärnlöv,Axel C. Carlsson,Ulf Ekelund,Per Wändell,Olle Melander,Toralph Ruge +6 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that increased ED-LOS could be associated with slightly increased short term mortality in patients with lower clinical urgency and dismissed from the ED but that this does not include patients admitted to in-hospital care.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiorespiratory fitness, exercise capacity and physical activity in children: are we measuring the right thing?
TL;DR: Large prospective cohort studies have consistently shown that physical inactivity and low levels of cardiorespiratory fitness are strong and independent predictors of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in men and women.
Journal ArticleDOI
The objective CORE score allows early rule out in acute chest pain patients
TL;DR: A simple objective decision rule (CORE) identified one-third of all patients as having a very low 30-day risk of MACE, and these patients may potentially be discharged without additional investigations for acute coronary syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relating process evaluation measures to complex intervention outcomes: findings from the PACE-UP primary care pedometer-based walking trial.
Cheryl Furness,Emma Howard,Elizabeth S Limb,Derek G Cook,Sally Kerry,Charlotte Wahlich,Christina R. Victor,Ulf Ekelund,Steve Iliffe,Michael Ussher,Peter H. Whincup,Julia Fox-Rushby,Judith Ibison,Stephen DeWilde,Tess Harris +14 more
TL;DR: The PACE-UP trial demonstrated the MRC framework to be a useful tool for process evaluation of intervention implementation and associations between process evaluation measures and PA outcomes suggest they were important in enabling the trial changes observed.
