Good news from the Danish "Epidemi-udvalg" (the political committee handling epidemics): On 30 August there will be an hearing about long COVID and adverse reactions after COVID-19-vaccination. The hearing is open to the public and can be followed online. ft.dk/samling/20222/…

Denne kommentar stiller et vigtigt spørgsmål: "Det videnskabelige eksperiment giver os håb om et bedre samfund, men alt fra lægfolk til politikere er dybt allergiske over for dem. Hvordan får vi samfundet til at knuselske en knastør forskningsmetode?" berlingske.dk/kommentatorer/…

This is indeed a great postdoc opportunity for anyone with skills and keen interest in epidemiological modelling for improved pandemic preparedness. Lund University Please share!

Interesting, but perhaps not so surprising, that the creatinine-based EKFC and Lund-Malmö Revised (LMR) GFR equations both perform markedly better than CKD-EPI in a large external validation cohort from Stockholm 2011-2021 with iohexol as reference method.

Our recent paper by Adam Mitchell in BMJPublicHealth shows how #COVID19 vaccine uptake in Skåne, southern Sweden was strongly associated with socioeconomic factors both at the individual- and area-level. Initially and in the boosters. bmjpublichealth.bmj.com/content/2/1/e0…
