Surveillance of Bloodstream Infections in Belgian Hospitals- Annual report 2023, Data up to and including 2022
being the most commonly isolated from hospital-wide CLABSI cases. Long-term increasing trends can be observed for hospital-wide HABSI incidences due to E. coli, K. pneumoniae, and E. faecium. The trend of ...

this last MO also being the most commonly isolated from hospital-wide CLABSI cases. Long-term increasing trends can be observed for hospital-wide HABSI incidences due to E. coli, K. pneumoniae, and E. ...
A proposal for further developing fatigue-related post COVID-19 health states for burden of disease studies
lived with disability Abstract: Previous efforts to estimate the burden of fatigue-related symptoms due to long COVID have a very high threshold for inclusion of cases, relative to the proposed definition ...
Factors influencing SARS-CoV-2 infection rate in Belgian nursing homes’ residents during the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic
(2022) Keywords: COVID-19 long-term care facilities Abstract: In April 2020, Belgium experienced high numbers of fatal COVID-19 cases among nursing home (NH) residents. In response, a mass testing campaign ...
Assessing the benefits of hypothetical air pollution reduction interventions on stroke in Belgium
use of a parametric g-computation approach to evaluate the impact of hypothetical interventions targeting long-term exposure to air pollution on reducing the stroke prevalence in Belgium using data from ...
Direct impact of COVID-19 by estimating disability-adjusted life years at national level in France in 2020
on the European Burden of Disease Network consensus disease model. Scenario analyses were performed by varying the number of symptomatic cases and duration of symptoms up to a maximum of 140 days, ...
Social inequalities and long-term health impact of COVID-19 in Belgium: protocol of the HELICON population data linkage
a case study for linking highly sensitive individual-level information. We describe the data linkages between health surveillance records and administrative data sources necessary to investigate social ...
Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
had only rarely been associated with human cases of an outbreak, let alone during a real outbreak. Therefore, this PhD centered on the development of shotgun metagenomics methods to study ...
Mental health among people with a migration background in Belgium over the past 20 years: how has the situation evolved?
health is highly stigmatized and stereotyped, even more when it comes to migrant and ethnic minority groups (MEM). Belgium, which has a long history of immigration, is a good case study for analysing how ...
Comparison of 6 DNA extraction methods for isolation of high yield of high molecular weight DNA suitable for shotgun metagenomics Nanopore sequencing to detect bacteriaAbstractBackgroundResultsConclusion
improves the reconstruction of genomes and helps to resolve complex genomic contexts, especially in the case of metagenome analysis. To take the best advantage of long-read sequencing, DNA extraction methods ...
