  Background and aims Proper prescription and high adherence to intensive lipid lowering drugs (LLD) in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) is crucial and strongly recommended. The aim of this study is to investigate long-term treatment patterns and adherence to LLD following hospitalization for a CHD event. Methods Patients admitted to two Norwegian hospitals with a CHD event from 2011-2014 (N=1094) attended clinical examination and completed a questionnaire, median 16 months later. Clinical data were linked to pharmacy dispensing data from 2010-2020. The proportions using high-intensity statin therapy (atorvastatin 40/80 mg or rosuvastatin 20/40 mg) and non-statin LLD after the CHD event were assessed. Adherence was evaluated by proportion of days covered (PDC) and gaps in treatment. Results Median age at hospitalization was 63 (IQR 12) years, 21% were female. Altogether, 1054 patients (96%) were discharged with a statin prescription, while treatment was dispensed in 85% within the following 90 days. During median 8 (SD 2.5) years follow-up, the proportion using high-intensity statin therapy ranged 62-68%, whereas the use of ezetimibe increased from 4-26 %. PDC <0.8 was found in 22% of statin users and 26% of ezetimibe users. The proportions with a treatment gap exceeding 180 days were 22% for statins and 28% for ezetimibe. Smoking at hospitalization and negative affectivity were significantly associated with reduced statin adherence, regardless of adherence measure. Conclusions In this long-term follow-up of patients with CHD, less than 70% used high-intensity statin therapy with only small changes over time, and only 25% used additional treatment with ezetimibe. We identified factors associated with reduced statin adherence that may be target for interventions.

  Background and aims Statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS) is a prevalent cause of statin discontinuation. It is challenging and time-consuming for clinicians to assess whether symptoms are caused by the statin or not, and diagnostic biomarkers are requested. Atorvastatin metabolites have been associated with SAMS. We aimed to compare atorvastatin pharmacokinetics between coronary heart disease (CHD) patients with and without clinically statin intolerance and statin-dependent histopathological alterations in muscle tissue. Secondarily we aimed to assess genetic variants relevant for the observed pharmacokinetic variables. Methods Twenty-eight patients with CHD and subjective SAMS were included in the exploratory MUSE biomarker study in 2020. Participants received atorvastatin 40 mg/day for seven weeks followed by no statins for eight weeks. Muscle biopsies and blood were collected at the end of each period. Four patients were categorized as clinically intolerant to ≥3 statins prior to study start whereas four patients had signs of muscle cell damage during treatment. Results We found significantly lower levels of atorvastatin acids, and higher lactone/acid ratios in the statin intolerant, both in muscle and plasma. With optimal cut-off, the combination of 2-OH-atorvastatin acid and the 2-OH-atorvastatin lactone/acid ratio provided sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values of 100 %. Patients with variants in UGT1A1 and UGT1A3 had higher lactone metabolite levels than those with wild type, both in muscle and plasma. Conclusion Atorvastatin metabolites appear promising as biomarkers for the identification of clinical statin intolerance in patients with self-perceive

Show summary

  Aims Objective methods to determine statin adherence are requested to improve lipid management. We have recently established a method to detect reduced adherence to atorvastatin therapy with cut‐off values based on the sum of atorvastatin and its major metabolites in blood. We aimed to validate this method in patients with and without cardiovascular disease, and optimize previous cut-off values. Methods and results The pharmacokinetic study included 60 participants treated with atorvastatin 20 mg (N=20), 40 mg (N=20), and 80 mg (N=20). Atorvastatin was then stopped and blood samples collected from day zero to day four. Quantification of the parent drug and its metabolites in blood plasma was performed with a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry assay. The cut-off values for reduced adherence were validated and optimized by calculating diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. Our candidate cut-off value of dose-normalized six-component sum of atorvastatin plus metabolites <0.10 nM/mg provided a sensitivity of 97% and a specificity of 93% for detecting ≥2 omitted doses. An optimized cut-off <0.062 nM/mg provided a sensitivity of 90% and a specificity of 100%. An alternative simplified two-component metabolite sum with cut-off value <0.05 nM/mg provided a sensitivity of 98% and a specificity of 76%. An optimized cut-off <0.02 nM/mg provided a sensitivity of 97% and a specificity of 98%. Conclusion This validation study confirms that our direct method discriminates reduced adherence from adherence to atorvastatin therapy with high diagnostic accuracy. The method may improve lipid management in clinical practice and serve as a useful tool in future studies.

  Purpose: Explore teachers’, school nurses’, cancer coordinators` and other local stakeholders’ experiences providing education and support for young childhood cancer survivors in the years after treatment. Methods: We conducted four focus groups and three individual telephone interviews with 15 teachers, nine nurses and three other stakeholders, using inductive thematic analysis inspired by Braun & Clark. Nvivo v12 was used for data-management. Results: Three main themes were developed; “Perceived parent attitudes and facilitation”, “The missing link –lack of communication and collaboration”, and “Enabling mastery, inclusion and thriving”. Parents were perceived to be the sole managers of providing cancer information and school-related follow-up needs. Teachers and other stakeholders experienced the nonexistence of information from specialist healthcare services and poor communication within the municipality. Teachers went to great lengths to meet survivors’ pedagogical needs and facilitate peer interactions. Teachers voiced a need for more cancer and late effect knowledge, not being dependent solely on parents` for information. Conclusions: Teachers and other stakeholders have essential roles in the continuing school experience for survivors. A more regulated teamwork between the stakeholders in the municipalities and the specialist healthcare system could ensure tailored late effect information at school. Implementing formal support could enable a co-creation of a personalized follow up that could relieve the burden on survivors, parents and teachers.

  Social stimuli seem to be processed more easily and efficiently than non-social stimuli. The current study tested whether social feedback stimuli improve reward learning in a probabilistic reward task (PRT), in which one response option is usually rewarded more often than the other via presentation of non-social reward stimuli. In a pre-registered online study with 305 participants, 75 participants were presented with a non-social feedback stimulus (a star) and information about gains, which is typically used in published PRT studies. Three other groups (with 73–82 participants each) were presented with one of three social feedback stimuli: verbal praise, an attractive happy face, or a “thumbs up”-picture. The data were analysed based on classical signal detection theory, drift diffusion modelling, and Bayesian analyses of null effects. All PRT variants yielded the expected behavioural preference for the more frequently rewarded response. There was no processing advantage of social over non-social feedback stimuli. Bayesian analyses further supported the observation that social feedback stimuli neither increased nor decreased behavioural preferences in the PRT. The current findings suggest that the PRT is a robust experimental paradigm independent of the applied feedback stimuli. They also suggest that the occurrence of a processing advantage for social feedback stimuli is dependent on the experimental task and design.

  The ‘Oslo Chronic Fatigue Consortium’ consists of researchers and clinicians who question the current narrative that chronic fatigue syndromes, including post-covid conditions, are incurable diseases. Instead, we propose an alternative view, based on research, which offers more hope to patients. Whilst we regard the symptoms of these conditions as real, we propose that they are more likely to reflect the brain's response to a range of biological, psychological, and social factors, rather than a specific disease process. Possible causes include persistent activation of the neurobiological stress response, accompanied by associated changes in immunological, hormonal, cognitive and behavioural domains. We further propose that the symptoms are more likely to persist if they are perceived as threatening, and all activities that are perceived to worsen them are avoided. We also question the idea that the best way to cope with the illness is by prolonged rest, social isolation, and sensory deprivation.Instead, we propose that recovery is often possible if patients are helped to adopt a less threatening understanding of their symptoms and are supported in a gradual return to normal activities. Finally, we call for a much more open and constructive dialogue about these conditions. This dialogue should include a wider range of views, including those of patients who have recovered from them.

  The gut hormone ghrelin drives food motivation and increases food intake, but it is also involved in the anticipation of and response to rewards other than food. This pre-registered study investigated how naturally varying ghrelin concentrations affect the processing of touch as a social reward in humans. Sixty-seven volunteers received slow caressing touch (so-called CT-targeted touch) as a social reward and control touch on their shins during 3T functional imaging on two test days. On one occasion, participants were fasted, and on another, they received a meal. On each occasion, plasma ghrelin was measured at three time points. All touch was rated as more pleasant after the meal, but there was no association between ghrelin concentrations and pleasantness. CT-targeted touch was rated as the most pleasant and activated somatosensory and reward networks (whole brain). A region-of-interest in the right medial orbitofrontal cortex (mOFC) showed lower activation during all touches, the higher the ghrelin concentrations were. During CT-targeted touch, a larger satiety response (ghrelin decrease after the meal) was associated with higher mOFC activation, and this mOFC activation was associated with higher experienced pleasantness. Overall, higher ghrelin concentrations appear to be related to a lower reward value for touch. Ghrelin may reduce the value of social stimuli, such as touch, to promote food search and intake in a state of low energy. This suggests that the role of ghrelin goes beyond assigning value to food reward.

  OBJECTIVES: Physical activity (PA) may modify risks of late effects after cancer. We aimed to examine levels of PA and sedentary time (ST) in a large, international sample of adolescent childhood cancer survivors in relation to sociodemographic and cancer-related factors and compare levels of PA and ST to reference cohorts. METHODS: Survivors from any cancer diagnosis who had completed cancer treatment ≥1 year ago, aged 9 to 16 years, were eligible for the multicenter Physical Activity in Childhood Cancer Survivors study. PA and ST were measured by ActiGraph GT3X+ accelerometers. We performed linear regression analyses to assess factors associated with moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) and ST, and compared marginal means of total PA, MVPA, and ST in 432 survivors to sex- and age-stratified references (2-year intervals) using immediate t-tests for aggregated data. RESULTS: Among survivors, 34% fulfilled the World Health Organization’s PA recommendation of ≥60 min of daily MVPA on average and their ST was 8.7 hours per day. Being female, older, overweight, a survivor of central nervous system tumor, or having experienced relapse were associated with lower MVPA and/or higher ST. Generally, male survivors spent less time in MVPA compared with references, whereas female survivors had similar levels. Both male and female survivors had higher ST than references in nearly all age groups. CONCLUSIONS: The low PA and high ST in this large sample of adolescent childhood cancer survivors is worrisome. Combined, our results call for targeted interventions addressing both PA and ST in follow-up care after childhood cancer.

  Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is an important treatment target in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and is associated with poor outcomes. Therefore, it is of clinical importance to identify the key determinants of HRQoL among these patients. There is, however, limited knowledge of how a comprehensive set of psychosocial factors influence HRQoL. We aimed to determine the relative associations of clinical and psychosocial factors with mental and physical components of HRQoL in a sample of CHD outpatients. This cross-sectional study included 1042 patients 2-36 (mean 16) months after a CHD event recruited from two general Norwegian hospitals with a combined catchment area making up 7% of the Norwegian population, representative with regards to demographic and clinical factors. We collected data on HRQoL, demographics, comorbidities, coronary risk factors, and psychosocial factors. HRQoL was assessed using the Short Form 12 (SF12), which comprises a Mental Component Scale (MCS) and the Physical Component Scale (PCS). Crude and multi-adjusted linear regression analyses were used to investigate the association between covariates and MCS and PCS. Mean age was 61 (standard deviation [SD] 10) years, 20 % were females, 18% had type D personality, 20% significant depression symptoms, 14% significant symptoms of anxiety whereas 45% reported insomnia. The presence of type D personality (β:-.19), significant symptoms of depression (β:-.15), and the presence of insomnia (β:-.13) were negatively associated with MCS, but not PCS in multi-adjusted analyses. The presence of chronic kidney disease (β:-.11) was associated with reduced MCS, whereas the presence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (β:-.08) and low physical activity (β:-.14) were negatively associated with PCS. Younger age was associated with lower MCS, whereas older age was associated with lower PCS. We conclude that Type D personality, depressive symptoms, insomnia, and chronic kidney disease were the strongest determinants of the mental component of HRQoL. Assessing and managing these psychological factors among CHD outpatients may improve their mental HRQoL

  In this exploratory study from a randomized double-blinded crossover trial including 70 patients with coronary heart disease and self-perceived muscular side effects of statins, we aimed to determine the relationship between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) reduction and atorvastatin metabolite plasma concentrations. All patients underwent a 7 weeks treatment period with atorvastatin 40 mg/day and a 7 weeks placebo period in random order. Nonlinear regression with a three-parameter equation explored the relationship between percentage LDL-C reduction (statin vs. placebo) and the pharmacokinetic variables. Mean LDL-C reduction was 49% (range 12% to 71%). The sum of 4-OH-atorvastatin acid and lactone correlated moderately with the LDL-C response (Spearman ρ 0.27, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.03 to 0.48). Accordingly, nonlinear regression showed R2 of 0.14 (95% CI: 0.03 to 0.37, R2 adjusted equaled 0.11). Even a perfect underlying correlation of 1.0 showed R2 = 0.32 by simulation, using historical intra-individual LDL-C variation (8.5%). The 90% inhibitory concentration was 2.1 nmol/L, and the 4-OH-metabolite sum exceeded this threshold in 34% of the patients. In conclusion, trough plasma concentrations of 4-OH-atorvastatin metabolites correlated moderately to the LDL-C reduction. A plateau LDL-C response was observed above a pharmacokinetic threshold, below which the response was highly variable. The usefulness of monitoring concentrations of atorvastatin metabolites to optimize the individual dosage have limitations, but its supportive potential may be pursued in relevant patient subsets to achieve adequate efficacy at the lowest possible dose. The results add knowledge to the overall understanding of the variable LDL-C response mediated by atorvastatin.

  Introduction An optimal method to assess adherence to statin therapy is needed. We developed a novel blood test to determine adherence to atorvastatin and simvastatin therapy. The relationship between statin adherence measured in blood and long-term adherence is yet to be defined. Purpose To compare statin adherence measured by single blood test with pharmacy registry data: i. the three months period prior to the blood test, and ii. from six months before until six months after the blood test. Methods In a cross-sectional study including 451 patients using either atorvastatin or simvastatin, a spot blood sample was collected median 18 months after a coronary heart disease event. Participants were unaware of the forthcoming statin analyses. Adherence (0 or 1 omitted dose) and reduced adherence, defined as ≥2 consecutively omitted doses of atorvastatin and simvastatin was determined by drug concentration measurements using liquid chromatography - tandem mass spectrometry. Study data was linked to the pharmacy registry. Indirect reduced adherence was defined as statin treatment gap exceeding 90 days. Results Thirty-nine (9%) out of 412 patients had reduced adherence to statins, determined by the novel blood test. Among patients classified as adherent by the blood test, only three (0.7%) had a treatment gap exceeding 90 days during the preceding three months. Correspondingly, of 39 patients with reduced adherence by the blood test, 11 (28%) had treatment gaps exceeding 90 days. The positive agreement between the methods was 96% and the negative agreement 42%. Among patients classified as adherent by the blood test, 21 (5%) had treatment gaps exceeding 90 days from six months before until six months after the blood test. Correspondingly, of 39 patients with reduced adherence by the blood test, 15 (39%) had at least one treatment gap exceeding 90 days. The positive agreement between measurements was 95% and the negative agreement 40%. Conclusions Among coronary patients classified as adherent by the statin blood test, registry data only identified three patients (0.7%) with a treatment gap exceeding 90 days in the three months prior to the blood test. The novel blood test emerges as a promising tool to identify patients adherent to statins, and thus may improve lipid management in clinical practice.

  Betablokkere har vært standard sekundærforebyggende behandling etter akutt hjerteinfarkt siden 1980-tallet. Siden den gang har diagnostikken og behandlingen av hjerteinfarkt forandret seg betydelig. Om betablokkere fortsatt er nyttig, skal BETAMI-studien gi svar på. Studien startet opp i oktober 2018 og er en av de største ikke-industrisponsede hjertestudiene som er gjennomført i Norge.
