Devising and demonstrating an extreme weather Risk Indicator for use in transportation systems
Transportation Research Record, 2013Co-Authors: Pekka Leviäkangas, Riitta Molarius, Ville Könönen, Zulkarnain Zulkarnain, Anna Maija HietajãrviAbstract:This paper describes a novel Risk Indicator for extreme weather Risks for use in transportation systems. The Risk Indicator is applied to the European transportation system indicating and ranking the Risks for the 27 member states of the European Union (EU-27). The paper starts with definitions of hazards, vulnerability, and Risk, based on relevant literature, and then operationalizes the Risk, hazard, and vulnerability with the help of EU-27 data. Finally, the paper discusses the extreme weather Risk Indicator (EWRI) and evaluates its applicability and limitations. The Risk Indicator is a relative Indicator: it should be viewed and treated as a ranking system. The devised Indicator is able to assist decision makers at national and state as well as international and federal levels in the prioritization of extreme weather Risks within their jurisdiction. The overall approach of EWRI is based on mainstream Risk and vulnerability assessment research, following for the most part the existing conceptual models. The novelty of EWRI lies in its application area (transportation) and wide use of both empirical and statistical data. EWRI was used to assess the hazards, vulnerabilities, and Risks of extreme weather for the EU-27, but nothing hinders its application, either in this form or a modified form, in other contexts.

old age as Risk Indicator for poor end of life care quality a population based study of cancer deaths from the swedish register of palliative care
European Journal of Cancer, 2015Co-Authors: Magnus Lindskog, Bjorn Tavelin, Staffan LundstromAbstract:Abstract Background If patient age affects the quality of end-of-life care in cancer is unknown. Using data from a population-based register of palliative care in Sweden, we addressed this question. Methods This nation-wide study focused on the last week of life of adults dying from cancer in 2011–2012, based on data reported to a national quality register for end-of-life care ( N =26,976). We specifically investigated if age-dependent differences were present with respect to thirteen Indicators of palliative care quality. Patients were categorised in one out of five pre-defined age groups. Odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs), adjusted for type of end-of-life care unit, were calculated using logistic regression, with the oldest group as reference. Findings Age-dependent differences in implementation rate were detected for ten out of thirteen end-of-life care quality Indicators, most of which were progressively less well met with each increment in age group. Compared to elderly cancer patients, young patients were more often informed about imminent death, (OR, 3.9; 95% CI 2.5–5.9, p p p =0.044), were more likely to be assessed by palliative care consultation services (OR, 4.3; 95% CI 3.3–5.7, p p =0.016), anxiety (OR, 3.8; 95% CI 2.0–7.1, p p p =0.001) and to be offered bereavement support (OR, 4.6; 95% CI 2.7–7.8, p Interpretation Old age is a Risk Indicator for poor end-of-life care quality among cancer patients in Sweden. Funding The executive committee of the National Quality Registries in Sweden.
