Clinical performance of the novel full-genotyping OncoPredict HPV Quantitative Typing assay using the VALGENT framework.
multiplex real-time PCR quantitative assay targeting E6 / E7 genes, allowing individual viral load determination of 12 high-risk (HR) HPV types. Quality controls for sample adequacy, efficiency of nucleic ...
The overweight epidemic increasingly hits children of lower educated parents in Belgium
difference between the low and the high educated increased significantly since 2008. Conclusion Two decades of HIS have shown that the SES is becoming an even more important risk factor for overweight among ...

(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 ...
Exploratory study of risk factors related to SARS-CoV-2 prevalence in nursing homes in Flanders (Belgium) during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic
variability (0-45%) between NH. The current exploratory study aimed to identify nursing home-specific risk factors for high SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence. Between October 19th, 2020 and November 13th, 2020, during ...
Were SARS-CoV-2 self-tests used for their intended purpose? The experience in Belgium.
the number of positive self-tests reported closely followed the same trend as the provider-administered tests in symptomatic people and high risk-contacts, which reinforces the hypothesis that they were ...
Wastewater monitoring can anchor global disease surveillance systems
