He has contributed extensively to understanding opioid use patterns, palliative sedation protocols, and end-of-life care practices. His work frequently involves systematic reviews, observational studies using national health registries, and qualitative analyses of healthcare provider perspectives.
Key research themes include optimizing palliative care delivery, addressing ethical dilemmas in terminal care, and evaluating the safety and efficacy of pain management strategies. He collaborates with multidisciplinary teams across Norway, publishing in journals like Supportive Care in Cancer and BMJ Supportive & Palliative Care. His studies often address real-world challenges in clinical practice, such as managing respiratory depression during sedation and analyzing opioid prescribing trends in vulnerable populations.
Recent publications emphasize the need for updated clinical guidelines in palliative sedation and explore disparities between patient preferences for home death and actual outcomes. His work bridges translational research and clinical policy, aiming to improve patient outcomes through evidence-based practices.
