Quantifying burden of disease to support public health policy in Belgium: opportunities and constraints
the most important summary measure of public health. DALY s quantify the number of healthy life years lost due to morbidity and mortality, and thereby facilitate the comparison of the relative impact of ...
Using multiple measures to assess changes in social inequalities for breast cancer screening
socio-economic position was defined by the educational level. Inequalities were measured both with pairwise measures comparing extreme educational groups (prevalence difference and prevalence ratio), and with ...
Burden of influenza, healthcare seeking behaviour and hygiene measures during the A(H1N1)2009 pandemic in France: a population based study.

Estimation of the dissociation rate of unlabelled ligand-receptor complexes by a 'two-step' competition binding approach.
AND IMPLICATIONS: As the ‘two-step competition’ requires rapid intermediate washing steps and needs radioligand binding to be measured at only one time point, this approach is particularly suited for ...
Multiple risk behaviour: increasing socio-economic gap over time?
dichotomized as low (0-2) vs. high (3-4). For the assessment of socio-economic inequalities in multiple risk behaviour, summary measures as Odds Ratio (OR) and Relative Index of Inequality (RII) were calculated ...
What is the optimal regimen for BCG intravesical therapy? Are six weekly instillations necessary?
before, every week during the BCG instillations and at 3 and 6 months follow-up in 9 patients with superficial bladder cancer treated with 6 weekly BCG instillations. Lymphoproliferation was measured by ...
The impact of individual-level heterogeneity on estimated infectious disease burden: a simulation study.
BACKGROUND: Disease burden is not evenly distributed within a population; this uneven distribution can be due to individual heterogeneity in progression rates between disease stages. Composite measures of ...
Prioritisation of food-borne parasites in Europe, 2016.
Europe. FBP of importance in Europe differ from those of importance globally, requiring targeted surveillance systems, intervention measures, and preparedness planning that differ across the world and ...
Prevalence and incidence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies among healthcare workers in Belgian hospitals before vaccination: a prospective cohort study.
and 308 (36%) the December visit. OUTCOME MEASURES: A semiquantitative ELISA was used to detect IgG against SARS-CoV-2 in serum (Euroimmun) at 10 time points. In seropositive samples, neutralising ...

utero paraben exposure on early childhood trajectories of BMI z-scores. METHODS: Placental concentrations of four parabens [methyl (MeP), ethyl (EtP), propyl (PrP), and butyl (BuP)] were measured by ...
