Establishing disease models for the Belgian national burden of disease study: challenges and perspectives
to establish priority outcomes; quantify prevalence “best estimates”; establish disease models; and perform expert evaluation of methods and results. The disease models visualize the relationship ...
Unravelling COVID-19 social mortality patterns using conditional inference tree algorithm
compared to survival; 3) COVID-19 specific deaths compared to all OCOD. Methods Multivariable logistic regression models were fitted for the three outcomes. In addition, we computed conditional inference ...
Psychosocial factors associated with health-related quality of life in patients with chronic disease: Results of a cross-sectional survey
models were built to analyze the key psychosocial factors associated with HRQ oL (EQ-5D-5L as dependent factor). RESULTS: Overall, the strongest independently associated factor with HRQ oL was illness ...
Using random-forest multiple imputation to address bias of self-reported anthropometric measures, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia in the Belgian health interview survey
regression model’s accuracy was poor, multiple imputation was the only approach which provided smaller standard errors than those based on clinical data. CONCLUSIONS: The random-forest multiple imputation ...
A healthy lifestyle is positively associated with mental health and well-being and core markers in ageing
using qPCR. Generalised linear mixed models were used while adjusting for a priori chosen covariates. RESULTS: The average age (SD) of the study population was 49.9 (17.5) years, and 48.8% were men. ...
Polypharmacy and health-related quality of life/psychological distress among patients with chronic disease
Survey (SF-12); psychological distress was measured with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Multiple linear regression models were built to assess the association between polypharmacy and ...
QALY losses for chronic diseases and its social distribution in the general population: results from the Belgian Health Interview Survey
disease on mortality and morbidity into a single index. This study aims to estimate the burden of chronic diseases in terms of QALY losses and to model its social distribution for the general population. ...
Anxiety and Depression in Belgium during the First 15 Months of the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Longitudinal Study
mixed models were used to model the associations between the predictor variables and the mental health outcomes. Results showed that the prevalence of symptoms of anxiety and depression was higher in ...
The impact of multimorbidity patterns on health-related quality of life in the general population: results of the Belgian Health Interview Survey
chronic conditions and HRQ oL (EQ-5D-5L) for a nationally representative sample. Linear mixed models were used to analyze two-way and three-way interactions of disease combinations on HRQ oL. Results ...
Validation of the Dutch-Flemish translated ABCD questionnaire to measure cardiovascular diseases knowledge and risk perception among adults
physical activity (F2), and perceived benefit and intention to change healthy dietary habit (F3). The two parametric logistic (2- PL) and rating scale models showed that the item infit and outfit values for ...
