synthesis of binomial data that makes the most efficient use of all available data and does not require ad-hoc continuity correction or data imputation. We expect its use to yield higher-quality meta-analysis ...

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 ...

Evolution of patient characteristics and outcomes concerning diabetic foot ulcer care in Belgium between 2008 and 2020

characteristics were recorded at baseline together with treatment and outcome during a 6-month follow-up period. A neutral weighting was applied to all variables. Evolution over time was studied in a repeated ...

Bottom-up approach to build a ‘precision’ risk factor classification for diabetic foot ulcer healing. Proof-of-concept

classification systems, were prospectively validated, not all individual parameters were shown to have consistent associations with healing. In this study, we used a bottom-up approach relying on robust methods to ...
