Methods for meta-analysis and meta-regression of binomial data: concepts and tutorial with Stata command metapreg
generic methods for meta-analysis of proportions based on the approximation to the normal distribution continue to dominate. Methods We developed metapreg, a tool with advanced statistical procedures to ...
Release of silver and titanium from face masks traded for the general population.
industry. The presence of Ag-based biocides and TiO particles in face masks raised questions on the possibility of release under normal wearing conditions, which could potentially cause a health risk to the ...
Potential impact fractions of body mass index reductions on the non-communicable disease burden in Belgium using G-computation
lifestyle and environment. In the first scenario, the BMI distribution among people with overweight was shifted to the BMI distribution of people with “normal” BMI. In the second scenario, the BMI of people ...
Virological surveillance report of the NRC influenza for season 2022-2023
waves of respiratory syncytial virus and influenza viruses occurred at periods that were close to historical data, indicating that the seasonality of these viruses might be returning to normal following ...
Spectroscopic approaches for conformity analysis of e-liquids
modelling. Next to baseline correction, classical preprocessing techniques like standard normal variate (SNV), derivatives and scaling were explored. In a first step, supervised modelling, using partial least ...
The evolving personal, professional and physical impact on healthcare professionals during three COVID-19 waves: A cross-sectional study
experienced positive and negative reactions during normal circumstances and during past week, referred to as before and during COVID-19, respectively. These reactions were stress, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, ...
Health care costs and lost productivity costs related to excess weight in Belgium.
Average yearly health care costs and costs of absenteeism were assessed by body mass index (BMI) categories — i.e., underweight (BMI < 18.5 kg/m), normal weight (18.5 ≤ BMI < 25 kg/m), overweight ...
SARS-CoV-2 Surveillance in Belgian Wastewaters
were computed on normalized concentrations per individual treatment plant to allow for a comparison with a reference period as well as between analyses performed by distinct laboratories. When the ...
Health care costs and lost productivity costs related to excess weight in Belgium
assessed by body mass index (BMI) categories – i.e., underweight (BMI < 18.5 kg/m2), normal weight (18.5 ≤ BMI < 25 kg/m2), overweight (25 ≤ BMI < 30 kg/m2) and obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2). ...
Changes in physical activity by context and residential greenness among recent retirees: Longitudinal GPS and accelerometer study.
in a physical activity intervention. We also assessed whether residential greenness, measured with Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, moderated the changes. Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity ...
