Listeria monocytogenes isolates from Cornu aspersum snails: Whole genome-based characterization and host-pathogen interactions in a snail infection model.
virulence, and host-pathogen mechanisms of interactions in a snail infection model. Most of isolates (66.7%) were characterized as multidrug resistant (MDR) and belonged to clonal complexes (CC s) which are ...
Residential green space, gardening, and subjective well-being: A cross-sectional study of garden owners in northern Belgium
(stress and depression) were investigated with structural equation models. Socioeconomic security was associated with lower stress and depression. Nature relatedness and green space in the neighbourhood of ...
Gram-negative central line-associated bloodstream infection incidence peak during the summer: a national seasonality cohort study.
negative binomial regression analysis calculated the peak-to-low ratio between months as an adjusted CLABSI incidence rate ratio (IRR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Multivariate regression models ...
The influence of risk perceptions on close contact frequency during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic
effects models were used to analyse the two surveys. Participants with low and neutral perceptions on perceived severity made a significantly higher number of social contacts as compared to participants ...
Residential green space and mental health-related prescription medication sales: An ecological study in Belgium.
2006 to 2014. Generalized mixed effects models were used to investigate associations between relative covers of woodland, low-green, grassland, and garden, and average annual medication sales. Models ...
Flanders and Brussels join forces to tackle animal testing
alternative methods,” Weyts said. Human materials and computer models In Belgium, about half a million test animals are used for scientific purposes every year, most often in biomedical research into new ...
Variability in the association between long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and mortality by exposure assessment method and covariate adjustment: A census-based country-wide cohort study
using two exposure methods; Europe-wide hybrid land use regression (LUR) models [100x100m], and Belgium-wide interpolation-dispersion (RIO- IFDM) models [25x25m]. We used Cox proportional hazards models ...
The non-fatal burden of cancer in Belgium, 2004–2019: a nationwide registry-based study
registry data and international disease models. We developed a microsimulation model to translate incidence- into prevalence-based estimates, and used expert elicitation to integrate the long-term impact of ...
Measuring disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) due to COVID-19 in Scotland, 2020
certificates. We calculated DALY s based on the COVID-19 consensus model and methods outlined by the European Burden of Disease Network. DALY s were presented as a range, using a sensitivity analysis based on ...
Past, present, and future trends of overweight and obesity in Belgium using Bayesian age-period-cohort models
overweight, the current study aimed to project the prevalence of overweight and obesity to the year 2030 in Belgium using a Bayesian age-period-cohort (APC) model, supporting policy planning. Methods. Height ...
