COVID-19 surveillance in the Flemish school system: development of systematic data collection within the public health school system and descriptive analysis of cases reported between October 2020 and June 2021.
not well described. Reported statistics reflect the intensity of community transmission while being shaped by biases from age-dependent testing regimes, as well as effective age-specific interventions. ...
Sex difference in innate inflammatory response and macrophage polarization in Streptococcus agalactiae-induced pneumonia and potential role of microRNA-223-3p.
polarization, we investigated its potential contribution in sex bias of GBS-induced innate inflammatory response. Knock-down of miR-223-3p with specific antagomiR resulted in increased inflammatory response and ...
Severity of infection with the SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.7 lineage among hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Belgium.
analyses were performed to assess the influence of selection bias, vaccination rollout, and unmeasured confounding. RESULTS: We observed no difference between the exposed and unexposed group in severe ...
What triggers selective daily mobility among older adults? A study comparing trip and environmental characteristics between observed path and shortest path.
Place (2021) Abstract: Interest is growing in neighborhood effects on health beyond individual’s home locations. However, few studies accounted for selective daily mobility bias. Selective mobility of 470 ...
Selection and use of reference panels: a case study highlighting current gaps in the materials available for foot and mouth disease.
are required. These are to: reduce bias in estimates of the diagnostic sensitivity and inter-serotypic specificity of tests used to detect diverse strains of FMD virus (FMDV), provide bio-safe positive ...
Particle size analysis of pristine food-grade titanium dioxide and E 171 in confectionery products: Interlaboratory testing of a SP-ICP-MS screening method and confirmation with transmission electron microscopy.
electron microscopy (TEM) was used as a confirmatory technique and served as the basis for bias estimation. The optimisation of the sample preparation step showed that when this protocol was applied to the ...
Psychological distress associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and suppression measures during the first wave in Belgium
Health Interview Survey of 2018. Bootstrapping was performed and analyses were reweighted to match the Belgian population in order to control for survey selection bias. Results Half of the respondents ...
Conceptual causal framework to assess the effect of SARS-CoV-2 variants on COVID-19 disease severity among hospitalized patients
assumptions on the relationship between (confounding) variables are made explicit. Various DAG s are presented to explore specific study design options and the risk for selection bias. Next, the data ...

Publication Type: Peer reviewed scientific article Authors: Clara A. Cutello; Clare Walsh; Francois R. Foerster; Yaniv Hanoch; Elizabeth Hellier Source: Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour, Volume 82 (2021) Keywords: Driver-ed ...
Selection and use of reference panels: a case study highlighting current gaps in the materials available for foot and mouth disease
an example, this review highlights four specific areas where new reference reagents are required. These are to: reduce bias in estimates of the diagnostic sensitivity and inter-serotypic specificity of ...
