Certainty of the Global Burden of Disease 2019 modelled prevalence estimates for musculoskeletal conditions: A meta-epidemiological study
approach for modelled evidence. Seventy-two primary studies (LBP: 67, NP: 2, knee OA: 3) underpinned the GBD estimates. Most studies had limited representativeness of their study populations, used suboptimal ...

Adherence to '5-2-1-0' guidelines and multiple risky behaviours among adolescents in nine sub-Saharan African countries: evidence from Global School-based Student Health Survey 2012-2017.
23.0%), respectively, combined 1, 2, 3 and 4 risky behaviours among the four ‘5-2-1-0’ criteria. The most observed combination was found for co-occurrence of three risky behaviours: insufficient ...
Validation of an animal-free analytical method for the detection of bacterial endotoxins in human vaccines
assays are suitable for all vaccines tested, although the most appropriate technique of endotoxins quantification depends on the type of vaccine. Health Topics: Effectiveness and safety of vaccines, ...

Were SARS-CoV-2 self-tests used for their intended purpose? The experience in Belgium.
However, the available data seem to indicate that self-testing was mostly used for indications outside of official recommendations. If and how this affected the control of the epidemic remains unknown. ...
