Initiative for Quality Improvement and Epidemiology in Multidisciplinary Diabetic Foot Clinics (IQED-Foot)- Results of the 4th data collection (audit years 2013-2014)
problems of 4,917 unique patients were sampled in 20-34 centres. Foot problems were either a diabetic foot ulcer of at least Wagner grade 2 and/or an active Charcot foot. Data pertained to characteristics at ...
Accuracy of human papillomavirus testing on self-collected versus clinician-collected samples: a meta-analysis.
papillomavirus (HPV) infection is more effective in reducing the incidence of cervical cancer than screening using Pap smears. Moreover, HPV testing can be done on a vaginal sample self-taken by a woman, which ...
Human papillomavirus prevalence and type-distribution, cervical cancer screening practices and current status of vaccination implementation in Russian Federation, the Western countries of the former Soviet Union, Caucasus region and Central Asia.
prevalence among 1062 women varied from 29.2% to 100%. HrHPV infection in 565 women with high-grade cervical lesions ranged from 77.2% to 100% and in 464 invasive cervical cancer samples from 89.8% to 100%. ...

Initiative for quality improvement and epidemiology among children and adolescents with diabetes (IQECAD)
s transmitted data on a random sample (N=976) of type 1 diabetic patients aged 0-18 years (representing about one third of all Belgian patients) to the Scientific Institute of Public Health (IPH) using an on-line ...
Enhanced analysis of real-time PCR data by using a variable efficiency model: FPK-PCR.
PCR efficiency remains constant over reactions. Yet, small changes in efficiency can lead to large quantification errors. Particularly in biological samples, the possible presence of inhibitors forms ...
Cervical cytology biobanks as a resource for molecular epidemiology.
cytology biobank (CCB) is an extension of current cytopathology laboratory practice consisting in the systematic storage of Pap smears or liquid-based cytology samples from women participating in cervical ...
How to evaluate emerging technologies in cervical cancer screening?
diagnostic studies in a clinical setting where all women are submitted to verification by the reference standard; iii) biobank-based studies with assessment in archived cytology samples of the biomarker in ...
