Global estimates of incidence and mortality of cervical cancer in 2020: a baseline analysis of the WHO Global Cervical Cancer Elimination Initiative.
UN-defined world regions, and by four-tier levels of the Human Development Index (HDI). Time trends (1988-2017) in incidence were extracted from the Cancer Incidence in Five Continents (CI5) plus database. ...
SARS-CoV-2 infection prevention and control measures in Belgian schools between December 2020 and June 2021 and their association with seroprevalence: a cross-sectional analysis of a prospective cohort study
implementation of IPC measures was associated with an increase in anti- SARS-CoV-2 antibody prevalence among pupils from 8.6% (95% CI: 4.5 – 16.6) to 16.7% (95% CI: 10.2 – 27.4) and staff from 11.5% (95% CI: 8.1 ...
Post COVID-19 condition and health-related quality of life: a longitudinal cohort study in the Belgian adult population
a significant decline in HRQ oL during the SARS-CoV-2 infection in comparison to the situation before (β=-9.91, 95% CI =-10.13;-9.85), but no clinically important difference three months after the infection ...
The impact of ambient temperature and air pollution on SARS-CoV2 infection and post COVID-19 condition in Belgium (2021–2022)
non-linear models to obtain odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for non-optimal temperatures relative to the period median temperature (10.6 °C) on lags 0 to 5. For effect modification, daily ...
Daily allergy burden and heart rate characteristics in adults with allergic rhinitis based on a wearable telemonitoring system
participant-days of 72 participants. A one-point increase in allergy symptom score was associated with an increase in next-day resting heart rate of 0.08 (95% CI: 0.02–0.15) beats per minute. A one-point increase in ...
Evaluation of the clinical performance of OncoPredict HPV® SCR assay within the VALGENT‐2 framework
index versus comparator were 1.01 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.99-1.03) and 1.02 (95% CI: 1.0-1.04), respectively. Noninferiority p values were all ≤0.05, except for CIN3 + in patients ≥30 years. ...
Effect of neuraminidase inhibitor (oseltamivir) treatment on outcome of hospitalised influenza patients, surveillance data from 11 EU countries, 2010 to 2020.
(60-79 years aOR 3.0, 95% CI: 2.4-3.8; 80 years 8.3 (6.6-10.5)) and intensive care unit admission (3.8, 95% CI: 3.4-4.2) increased risk of dying, while early hospital admission after symptom onset ...
SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence and determinants for salivary seropositivity among pupils and school staff: a prospective cohort study
also in October and December 2021 for primary pupils. We recruited 885 primary and 569 secondary pupils and 799 staff in 84 schools. Cumulative seroprevalence (95% CI) among primary pupils increased from ...

Inequalities in mortality associated with housing conditions in Belgium between 1991 and 2020
housing inequality. RESULTS: Up to 18.5% (95% CI 17.7-19.3) of all deaths between 1991 and 2020 may be associated with housing inequality, corresponding to 584,875 deaths. Over time, life expectancy at birth increased ...
