A comparison of COVID-19 incidence rates across six European countries in 2021.
COVID-19 surveillance 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 ...
Time series modelling for wastewater-based epidemiology of COVID-19: A nationwide study in 40 wastewater treatment plants of Belgium, February 2021 to June 2022
multiple factors impede the usefulness of WBE and quantitative adjustment may be required. Aim: We aimed to model the relationship between WBE data and incident COVID-19 cases, while adjusting for ...
Third dose of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine closes the gap in immune response between naïve nursing home residents and healthy adults.
but limited data is available on the immune responses it induces. METHODS: In this observational cohort study, peak humoral and cellular immune responses were compared 28 days after the second and third ...
Prevalence of Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies and Potential Determinants among the Belgian Adult Population: Baseline Results of a Prospective Cohort Study
were applied, and potential determinants were estimated using multivariable logistic regressions. Between March and August 2021, 2767 individuals participated in the first data collection. During this ...
Closing schools for SARS-CoV-2: a pragmatic rapid recommendation
experts, clinicians and researchers, produced this recommendation in compliance with the standards for trustworthy rapid guidelines. The recommendation is based on data collected through national ...
Determinants of adherence to COVID-19 measures among the Belgian population: an application of the protection motivation theory.
(self-efficacy), and past and future adherence. Data were collected in Dutch and French, the main languages of Belgium. RESULTS: Our study was carried out in September 2020, and the number of respondents was 2008. ...
Monitoring of human coronaviruses in Belgian primary care and hospitals, 2015-20: a surveillance study.
elucidate the epidemiology and burden of disease of seasonal hCoVs OC43, NL63, and 229E in patients in primary care and hospitals in Belgium between 2015 and 2020. Methods: We retrospectively analysed data ...

All-cause mortality supports the COVID-19 mortality in Belgium and comparison with major fatal events of the last century.
century including those of the Spanish influenza pandemic. METHODS: Excess mortality predictions and COVID-19 mortality data were analysed for the period March 10th to June 21st 2020. The number of COVID-19 ...
Use of Whole Genome Sequencing Data for a First in Silico Specificity Evaluation of the RT-qPCR Assays Used for SARS-CoV-2 Detection.
RT-qPCR methods were developed in January 2020 for initial in silico specificity evaluation and to verify whether the targeted loci are highly conserved. Now that more whole genome data have become ...
