intervals. The European Guidelines for Quality Assurance in Cervical Cancer Screening recommend pilot evaluation of a new screening test in country-specific conditions before its implementation. METHODS: The ...
Accuracy of HPV E6/E7 oncoprotein tests to detect high-grade cervical lesions: a systematic literature review and meta-analysis.
women showed a pooled sensitivity of 46.9% (95% CI: 30.6-63.9) with a specificity of 98.0% (95% CI: 96.8-98.7). CONCLUSIONS: The high specificity of oncoprotein tests supports its use for triaging ...
Interim analysis of COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness against hospitalisation and death using electronic health records in six European countries
2022 onwards in most participating countries except for Belgium and Portugal, where it started earlier in spring 2022 in those aged ≥80 followed by 50–79year olds in autumn 2022. In these two countries, ...
The overweight epidemic increasingly hits children of lower educated parents in Belgium

Association between SARS-CoV-2 variants and post COVID-19 condition: findings from a longitudinal cohort study in the Belgian adult population
the number of infections with the Omicron variant being higher than with the Alpha and Delta variants, it is possible that the overall prevalence of PCC in the population increases, even if the ...
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
concurrent and predictive validity, suggesting it is a valid measure of frailty. It has the potential to be an efficient, replicable and consistent approach to comparing frailty between countries and regions ...
Vaccine effectiveness against COVID-19 hospitalisation in adults (≥ 20 years) during Omicron-dominant circulation: I-MOVE-COVID-19 and VEBIS SARI VE networks, Europe, 2021 to 2022.
SARS-CoV-2 was 43% (95% CI: 29-54) for complete PSV (with last dose received ≥ 150 days before onset), while it was 59% (95% CI: 51-66) after addition of one booster dose. The VE was 85% (95% CI: 78-89), ...
