Benefits and harms of cervical screening, triage and treatment strategies in women living with HIV.
Women living with HIV have 6-times the risk of cervical cancer compared to women in the general population, and we harnessed a model platform (‘Policy1-Cervix- HIV ’) to evaluate the benefits and harms of ...
Benefits, harms and cost-effectiveness of cervical screening, triage and treatment strategies for women in the general population.
published updated cervical screening guidelines in 2021. To inform this update, we used an established modeling platform, Policy1-Cervix, to evaluate the impact of seven primary screening scenarios across 78 ...

ESCAIDE, ECDC, Barcelona, Spain (2023) Keywords: Health Belief Model KNOWLEDGE Mosquitoes Perception Vector Borne Diseases Abstract: Background Effective preparedness for emerging mosquito-borne viruses (MBV ...
Accuracy of HPV E6/E7 oncoprotein tests to detect high-grade cervical lesions: a systematic literature review and meta-analysis.
and cancer. We included studies reporting data on oncoprotein test accuracy detecting cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 or worse. Random effects logistic regression models were applied for ...

Factors underlying COVID-19 booster vaccine uptake among adults in Belgium
COVID-19 infection history. RESULTS: A binomial regression model was used with having received the first or second booster as outcome and age, sex, region of residence and infection history as fixed ...
A proposal for further developing fatigue-related post COVID-19 health states for burden of disease studies
underestimation. A more comprehensive approach to modelling the disease burden from long COVID, in relation to fatigue, can ensure that we do not only focus on what is easiest to measure; which risks losing focus of ...
Comparing frailty prevalence between countries: validation of the Global Burden of Disease study Frailty Index (GBD-FI) in the survey of health, ageing and retirement in Europe
to better understand the epidemiology of frailty. Estimates in many countries are missing or incomparable. The Global Burden of Disease Frailty Index (GBD- FI) applies the deficit accumulation model to ...
Monitoring COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness against COVID-19 hospitalisation and death using electronic health registries in ≥65 years old population in six European countries, October 2021 to November 2022.
1 month-lag for data consolidation. Cox proportional-hazards models were used to estimate adjusted hazard ratios (aHR) and VE = (1 - aHR) × 100%. Site-specific estimates were pooled using ...
Complete genome reconstruction of the global and European regional dispersal history of the lumpy skin disease virus.
global publicly available genomes. We formally evaluate the past occurrence of recombination events as well as the temporal signal that is required for calibrating molecular clock models and subsequently ...
