Factors influencing SARS-CoV-2 infection rate in Belgian nursing homes’ residents during the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic
more dependent residents (Incidence rate ratio (IRR): 1.97; 95% CI: 1.00-3.86) and higher staff’s infection rate (IRR: 1.89; 95% CI: 1.68- 2.12). No relationship was found between other investigated NH ...
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
attention and investment. This exploratory study suggests that the ratio of residents with dementia, the availability of test capacity and personal protective equipment may have played a role in the ...
Immunogenicity and one-year boostability of a 3-dose intramuscular rabies pre-exposure prophylaxis schedule in adults receiving immunosuppressive monotherapy: a prospective single-Centre clinical trial.
the study. Early response to PrEP (at day 21-28) was significantly associated with 100% boostability (Odds ratio 51; 95% confidence interval [5.0-6956], p < 0.01). The vaccination schedule was safe ...
Poor timing and failure of source control are risk factors for mortality in critically ill patients with secondary peritonitis.
(< 2 h), ‘urgent’ (2-6 h), and ‘delayed’ (> 6 h). Relationships were assessed by logistic regression analysis and reported as odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS: The cohort ...
Sex difference in innate inflammatory response and macrophage polarization in Streptococcus agalactiae-induced pneumonia and potential role of microRNA-223-3p.
