Ketamine, a new (or old) kid on the block: A comprehensive three-year spatio-temporal study in Belgium through wastewater-based epidemiology
remains difficult. This study employed wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) to address this challenge by analysing influent wastewater (IWW) from Belgium for biomarkers of ketamine consumption to evaluate ...
Estimated number of lives directly saved by COVID-19 vaccination programmes in the WHO European Region from December, 2020, to March, 2023: a retrospective surveillance study.
COVID-19-related deaths to the WHO Regional Office for Europe. Here, we estimated how many lives were directly saved by vaccinating adults in the WHO European Region from December, 2020, to March, 2023. METHODS: In ...
Impact of COVID-19 infection on lung function and nutritional status amongst individuals with cystic fibrosis: A global cohort study.
COVID-19 infection have been identified; however, the impact of infection on longer-term outcomes is unclear. The objective of this study was to examine the impact of COVID-19 infection on the trajectory of ...
NATIONAL SURVEILLANCE OF SARS-COV-2 IN WASTEWATER- How does WBE contribute to the global epidemiologic assessment in Belgium? (September 2020 – 2024)
how it was used to assess the global epidemiological (EPI) situation in Belgium during this period. The population covered by this program represents 42% of the Belgian population. The results presented ...
A survey of the representativeness and usefulness of wastewater-based surveillance systems in 10 countries across Europe in 2023
a widespread method to monitor transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and other human pathogens in Europe. We conducted a survey about WBS systems’ objectives, approaches, representativeness and usefulness in 10 invited ...
Population health information research infrastructure—from data to public health actions
countries were not ready to quickly adapt and respond to the crisis. Given the acuteness and novelty of this public health threat, data on what was effective against the virus were scarce. As a result, ...
A comparison of COVID-19 incidence rates across six European countries in 2021.
systems and approaches to reporting in each country. To better understand these differences and their impact on incidence comparisons, we collected data on surveillance systems from six European countries: ...
BY-COVID Educational Toolkit
Introduction The aim of the BY- COVID project is to make infectious disease data accessible to scientists in laboratories, but also to anyone likely to use them, such as medical staff in hospitals or ...
