Multicenter interlaboratory study of routine systems for the susceptibility testing of temocillin using a challenge panel of multidrug-resistant strains.
TMO-resistant isolates. Excluding Proteae species (P. mirabilis and M. morganii), the essential agreement rates were excellent (91.5-100%) for all MIC-based methods. The highest category agreement was achieved by ...
Urine concentrations of Arsenic and its species in adolescents from Wallonia (Belgium).
these teenagers and 9 and 10 μg/L for teenagers not having consumed fish and rice respectively. These results are in good agreement with other European and American populations and confirm that health ...
Intra- and interlaboratory reproducibility of the RIATOL qPCR HPV genotyping assay.
criteria include the lower bound of 95% confidence interval of the intra- and interlaboratory agreement regarding the detection of hrHPV DNA exceeding 87% with kappa ≥0.50. The RIATOL-qPCR assay demonstrated ...
Integrating human papillomavirus testing as a point-of care service using GeneXpert platforms: Findings and lessons from a Kenyan pilot study (2019-2020).
screen test positivity, triage compliance, triage positivity and treatment compliance. Test agreement between local GeneXpert and central comparator high-risk HPV (hrHPV) testing for a random set of ...
Application of the Nagoya Protocol to veterinary pathogens: concerns for the control of foot-and-mouth disease.
Sci, Volume 10 (2023) Abstract: The Nagoya Protocol is an international agreement adopted in 2010 (and entered into force in 2014) which governs access to genetic resources and the fair and equitable ...
COVID-19 mortality, excess mortality, deaths per million and infection fatality ratio, Belgium, 9 March 2020 to 28 June 2020
COVID-19-related mortality and excess mortality. In light of this close agreement, it is useful to consider the DPM and IFR, which are both age, sex, and nursing home population-dependent. Comparison of COVID-19 ...
Validation of the Flemish-Dutch diabetic foot ulcer scale short form (DFS-SF) questionnaire for diabetic foot ulcers
assessed through the test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC)), internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha) and measurement error (agreement). Spearman’s correlations and known-group ...
Validation of the Flemish-Dutch Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) questionnaire for diabetic foot ulcers
(Cronbach’s alpha) and measurement error (agreement). Spearman’s correlations and known-group comparisons were conducted to examine construct validity. Correlation with EQ-5D-5L was used to test criterion ...
Using random-forest multiple imputation to address bias of self-reported anthropometric measures, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia in the Belgian health interview survey
self-reported instead of objective data lead to an underestimation of the prevalence of obesity, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. This study aimed to assess the agreement between self-reported and measured ...
Papilloplex HR-HPV test has non-inferior clinical performance for detection of human papillomavirus infection: assessment using the VALGENT framework.
(pni=0.0167)). The assay also showed excellent or good agreement for overall hrHPV and nearly all individual HPV types as compared with GP5 +/6+ EIA /Luminex. CONCLUSION: The Papilloplex HR- HPV applied on ...
