  • Title: [Vascular surgery is steadily increasing in Sweden].
    Author: Bergqvist D, Troëng T.
    Journal: Lakartidningen; 1998 Jun 17; 95(25):2940-3. PubMed ID: 9674363.
    Abstract:
    Analysis of the development of arterial surgery between 1980 and 1995, on the basis of questionnaire response and data from the Swedish vascular registry (Swedvasc), showed the annual incidence of elective procedures to have increased from 2,284 to 7,425, and that of emergency procedures from 1,619 to 1,951, the overall annual incidence of operations being 1,068 per million of the population in 1995. There are manifest regional differences in the country as a whole, and the period studied was characterized by relative redistribution of operations from regional to county hospitals. Detailed scrutiny of carotid artery surgery again showed manifest regional differences to exist, but at few hospitals were more than 50 operations performed annually. There was good agreement between Swedvasc data and official operation statistics.
