The ROSA 4 Salten study
Sub-project of the ROSA 4 study investigating the prevalence of diagnose type 2 diabetes in the Salten municipalities, the interaction between primary and specialist care of these patients in Salten and the association between socioeconomic factors and vascular complications.
News from 2022:
- Of people with type 2 diabetes in Salten 16% were treated in specialist care. They had higher HbA1c and more vascular complications. The use of a structured diabetes form (Noklus diabetes) and diabetes nurses seem to support type 2 diabetes follow-up in primary care.
- Kristina B. Slåtsve defended her PhD titled “Prevalence, vascular complications, and level of health care treatment in individuals with type 2 and type 1 diabetes mellitus” at the University of Tromsø 04.10.22 with Tore Julsrud Berg as the main supervisor https://uit.no/tavla/artikkel/788716/disputas_cand_med_kristina_barbara_slatsve
