Background. In 1998, Denmark introduced the flex job scheme to ensure employment of people with a permanent reduced work capacity. This study investigated the association between select diagnoses and the risk of disability pension among persons eligible for the scheme.Methods. Using the national DREAM database we identified all persons eligible for the flex job scheme from 2001 to 2008. This information piece was linked to the hospital discharge registry. Selected participants were followed for 5 years.Results. From the 72,629 persons identified, our study included 329 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, 10,120 patients with spine disorders, 2179 patients with ischemic heart disease, and 1765 patients with functional disorders. A reduced risk of disability pension was found in the group with rheumatoid arthritis (hazard ratio = 0.69 (0.53–0.90)) compared to the group with spine disorders. No differences were found when comparing ischemic heart disease and functional disorders. Employment during the first 3 months of the flex job scheme increased the degree of employment for all groups.Conclusion. Differences in the risk of disability pension were identified only in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. This study demonstrates the importance of obtaining employment immediately after allocation to the flex job scheme, regardless of diagnosis.

The purpose of our study is to assess the impact of cardiac arrhythmias, heart rhythm variability in patients with ischemic heart disease, obstructive sleep apnea and primary snoring. 65 patients at an age of 40–68 years with ischemic heart disease, obstructive sleep apnea and primary snoring were researched.Obstructive sleep apnea and primary snoring lead to an increase in the sympathetic and parasympathetic activity of the autonomic nervous system on the sinus node in patients with ischemic heart disease, obstructive sleep apnea and primary snoring.

Background Symptoms of fatigue and depression are prevalent across stages of ischemic heart disease (IHD). We examined (i) the effect of both the IHD stage and type-D personality on fatigue and depressive symptoms at 12-month follow-up, and (ii) whether the effect of type-D personality on these symptoms is moderated by IHD stage. Methods Two different samples of patients were included to represent IHD stage: 401 percutaneous coronary intervention patients (early-stage IHD) and 105 ischemic chronic heart failure patients (end-stage IHD) completed the DS14 Type-D Scale at baseline. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the impact of IHD stage and type-D personality on fatigue and depression at follow-up. Results Disease stage was neither associated with symptoms of fatigue ( P = 0.99) nor depression ( P = 0.29) at 12 months. In contrast, type-D personality was shown to predict both symptoms of fatigue [odds ratio (OR) = 2.96; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.92–4.58, P < 0.001] and depression (OR = 4.91; 95% CI: 3.16–7.65, P < 0.001) at follow-up; the effect of type-D personality on these symptoms was not moderated by disease stage. In multivariable analysis, type-D remained a significant predictor of symptoms of fatigue (OR = 3.14; 95% CI: 1.98–4.99, P < 0.001) and depression (OR = 5.90; 95% CI: 3.60–9.67, P < 0.001), also after controlling for symptom levels at baseline. Conclusion Type-D personality but not disease stage predicted symptoms of fatigue and depression at 12-month follow-up.

1 million 824 thousand people died in the Russian Federation in 2017, including 457 thousand from ischemic heart disease (IHD). IHD caused more than a quarter of deaths in Russia. Goal. The article analyzes the impact of implementation of clinical guidelines in cardiology in medical practice in the United States and the Russian Federation on the dynamics of mortality from ischemic heart disease and its outcomes in different age groups. Results. The results showed that the implementation of clinical guidelines (CG) increased the rate of mortality reduction from coronary heart diseases in Russia and the United States, which may indicate a positive impact CG on the quality of medical care. Conclusions. A higher level of mortality from coronary heart disease in Russia compared to the United States may be due to less commitment of doctors to the principles of therapy and diagnosis of various forms of coronary heart disease, set out in clinical guidelines.
