In the Great Northern War (1700–1721), a coalition led by Russia successfully contested the supremacy of Sweden in Northern, Central and Eastern Europe.

Primary biliary cholangitis mortality in Europe: a temporal and spatial view across the period 2002-2022.. Background Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a rare autoimmune disease of multifactorial origin with an uneven incidence across countries. This study sought to identify temporal trends in PBC mortality and describe possible spatial patterns across Europe. Methods Data on PBC mortality (ICD-10 K74.3) and European populations by age group in 20 countries were sourced from the World Health Organization for the period 2002-2022. We calculated age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMR) for the period 2012-2022, both for individual countries and overall. Trends were assessed using Joinpoint regr…

Mortality in children aged 0-14 years born to immigrant parents in Sweden: a total-population cohort study.. Background Children of immigrants in Europe have higher infant and early-adult mortality, compared with non-immigrants or their children. We aim to establish whether they have an increased risk of child mortality, focussing on the case of Sweden. Methods We use Cox proportional hazards regression models to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) using Swedish total-population administrative data from 1990 to 2019. We estimate all-cause mortality for children aged 0-14, overall and separately for ages 0, 1-4, and 5-14. We do this for Swedish-born children of immigrants with either one or two for…
