The landscape of drug resistance in Plasmodium falciparum malaria in the Democratic Republic of Congo: a mapping systematic review
information related to 6385 Plasmodium falciparum clinical isolates (collected from 2000 to 2020). We noted the PfCRT K76T mutation encoding for chloroquine-resistance in median 32.1% [interquartile interval ...
Interim analysis of COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness against hospitalisation and death using electronic health records in six European countries
initially (<12 weeks after administration) and waned rapidly thereafter (<50% 12–24 weeks after administration with large confidence intervals). In February–March 2023, the rVE of a third booster 12–24 ...
The overweight epidemic increasingly hits children of lower educated parents in Belgium
Since the BMI (kg/m²) in children is instable, age/sex-specific cutoff points are used to estimate the weighted prevalence (95% confidence interval) of self-reported overweight (including obesity), by SES ...
Association between SARS-CoV-2 variants and post COVID-19 condition: findings from a longitudinal cohort study in the Belgian adult population
during the Omicron-dominant period (OR = 1.61, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.33-1.96 and OR = 1.73, 95% CI = 1.54-1.93, respectively). Participants infected during the Alpha and Delta-dominant ...
Comparing frailty prevalence between countries: validation of the Global Burden of Disease study Frailty Index (GBD-FI) in the survey of health, ageing and retirement in Europe
irrespective of approach; the AUC ranged from 0.86 (95% confidence interval: 0.85-0.87) measuring frailty using the CFS to 0.94 (0.93-0.94) with the FI-70. The GBD- FI had similar accuracy for 2-year mortality ...
