Clinical performance of the novel full-genotyping OncoPredict HPV Quantitative Typing assay using the VALGENT framework.
multiplex real-time PCR quantitative assay targeting E6 / E7 genes, allowing individual viral load determination of 12 high-risk (HR) HPV types. Quality controls for sample adequacy, efficiency of nucleic ...
Exploratory study of risk factors related to SARS-CoV-2 prevalence in nursing homes in Flanders (Belgium) during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic
and face shields), and inadequate PCR test capacity were related to a higher seroprevalence. Generally, our study put forward that the various aspects of infection prevention in NH require more ...
Social inequalities and long-term health impact of COVID-19 in Belgium: protocol of the HELICON population data linkage
a representative case-cohort study of 1.2 million randomly selected Belgians and 4.5 million Belgians with a confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis (PCR or antigen test), of which 108 211 are COVID-19 hospitalised patients ...
Factors underlying COVID-19 booster vaccine uptake among fully vaccinated adults in Belgium
history before or after completion PC (based on PCR tests). We used a quasibinomial logistic regression model to determine influential factors on the booster uptake. Results Among the Belgian adult ...
Factors underlying COVID-19 booster vaccine uptake among fully vaccinated adults in Belgium
reported coverage by demographics (age, region of residence and sex) and COVID-19 infection history before or after completion PC (based on PCR tests). We used a quasibinomial logistic regression model to ...
Targeted Chromosomal Barcoding Establishes Direct Genotype-Phenotype Associations for Antibiotic Resistance in Mycobacterium abscessus.
bedaquiline-resistant M. abscessus colonies transformed with both substrates, we obtained equivalent numbers of recombinants. These resistant colonies were analyzed by allele-specific PCR and Sanger sequencing, and we ...
HPV-based Cervical Cancer Screening on Self-samples in the Netherlands: Challenges to Reach Women and Test Performance Questions.
Uterine Cervical Neoplasms Abstract: In 2017, cervical cancer screening in the Netherlands switched from cytology to human papillomavirus (HPV) testing using the validated PCR-based cobas 4800. Women could ...

Evaluation of the clinical performance of OncoPredict HPV® SCR assay within the VALGENT‐2 framework
papillomavirus (HPV) assays used in cervical cancer screening should be clinically validated according to international criteria. OncoPredict HPV ® Screening (SCR) is a partial genotyping multiplex real-time PCR ...
