SCORE2-Diabetes: 10-year cardiovascular risk estimation in type 2 diabetes in Europe.
variables (i.e. age at diabetes diagnosis, glycated haemoglobin [HbA1c] and creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR]). Models were recalibrated to CVD incidence in four European risk ...
Time series modelling for wastewater-based epidemiology of COVID-19: A nationwide study in 40 wastewater treatment plants of Belgium, February 2021 to June 2022
per SD increase, respectively. In 38/40 WWTP s, variants did not explain variability in RNA levels independent of cases. Furthermore, our study shows that RNA levels can lead incident cases by at least ...
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 ...
Lumpy Skin Disease Virus Genome Sequence Analysis: Putative Spatio-Temporal Epidemiology, Single Gene versus Whole Genome Phylogeny and Genomic Evolution.
whenever possible. We also found that there are three gene regions, highly variable, across the genome of LSDV. These gene regions are located in the 5’ and 3’ flanking regions of the LSDV genome and they ...
Evolution of patient characteristics and outcomes concerning diabetic foot ulcer care in Belgium between 2008 and 2020
characteristics were recorded at baseline together with treatment and outcome during a 6-month follow-up period. A neutral weighting was applied to all variables. Evolution over time was studied in a repeated ...
Development and Validation of a New DIVA Real-Time PCR Allowing to Differentiate Wild-Type Lumpy Skin Disease Virus Strains, Including the Asian Recombinant Strains, from Neethling-Based Vaccine Strains.
70 samples were all correctly detected with Ct values very similar to those of a published first-line pan capripox real-time PCR. Finally, the low inter- and intra-run variability observed shows that ...
Using random-forest multiple imputation to address bias of self-reported anthropometric measures, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia in the Belgian health interview survey
data. With both regression calibration and multiple imputation, adjusted estimation of these variables in the BHIS allowed to generate national prevalence estimates that were closer to their BELHES ...
Development of Digital Droplet PCR Targeting the Influenza H3N2 Oseltamivir-Resistant E119V Mutation and Its Performance through the Use of Reverse Genetics Mutants.
inhibition assay allows the phenotypical identification of resistant strains; however, this test often has limited sensitivity with high variability depending on the virus strain, drugs and assays. Once ...
Non-response bias in the analysis of the association between mental health and the urban environment: a cross-sectional study in Brussels, Belgium
likely to respond. When adjusting for socio-economic variables, non-response was higher in areas which are less vegetated, more polluted or more urbanised. Because the determinants of non-response and ...
An overview of programmatic indicators to monitor the roll-out of HIV preexposure prophylaxis.
PrEP users, the number of HIV seroconversions among PrEP users and some variably defined indicators related to continuation and discontinuation of PrEP. Despite its perceived high relevance, studies ...
