Randi Marie Mohus
About
My PhD is in sepsis epidemiology. In my project, we investigate risk factors for severe infections and sepsis. We use information from the population-based HUNT-study together with clinical and microbiological data from the hospitals. In my PhD thesis I investigated how iron status and sex is related to future risk of bloodstream infections, sepsis and COVID-19 using different epidemiological studies. Currently I work in projects investigating the effects of lifestyle factors, BMI, psyciatric disorders, thyroid status and kidney disease related to risk of severe infections and sepsis. The goal with my research is to identify persons at risk, and in the future prevent sepsis.
I also work as a senior consultant in anaeshesiology at St. Olavs university hospital.

Iron status and the risk of sepsis and severe COVID-19: a two sample Mendelian randomization study
We assessed the effect of genetically-predicted iron biomarkers on risk of sepsis and COVID-19. Our results suggest a causal effect higher iron status and risk of sepsis and indications of an increased risk of being hospitalized with COVID-19.
Explaining sex differences in bloodstream infections using mediation analyses in the population-based HUNT study in Norway
We examined the effect of sex on risk of BSI, BSI mortality, and BSI caused by the most common infecting bacteria. Men have higher risk of BSI and BSI mortality than women. 1/3 of this effect was mediated by potential modifiable risk factors for BSI.
Association of iron status with the risk of bloodstream infections: results from the prospective population based HUNT study in Norway
Iron is essential for immune function and microbial growth, altered iron status could influence the risk of infections. We found indices of severe iron deficiency being associated with increased risk of a future BSI
