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 ...
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 ...
Development and application of a novel method to assess exposure levels of sensitizing and irritating substances leaching from menstrual hygiene products
limits of ±15% regarding the total analytical error (including systematic and random bias). Fifteen commercially available MHP s were assessed. Six products were found to leach at least one of the ...
Fluoroquinolone resistance in Escherichia coli isolates after exposure to non-fluoroquinolone antibiotics: a retrospective case–control study
biases, this study suggests that exposure to non-fluoroquinolone antibiotics, i.e. trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole and nitrofurantoin, might be causally related to fluoroquinolone resistance in E. ...
Validity of self-reported mammography uptake in the Belgian health interview survey: selection and reporting bias.
assessed the related selection and reporting biases among women aged 50-69 years in the Belgian Health Interview Survey (BHIS) using reimbursement data for mammography stemming from the Belgian Compulsory ...
