The importance of including a mental health dimension in a multimorbidity indicator: an analysis of Belgian health survey data.
CONCLUSIONS: MI s that only take physical conditions into account underestimate their impact on individuals’ lives. Including mental ill-health in an MI is key to linking it to health correlates. Service: ...
Unravelling demographic and socioeconomic patterns of COVID-19 death and other causes of death: results of an individual-level analysis of exhaustive cause of death data in Belgium, 2020
In addition, we computed conditional inference tree (CIT) algorithms, a non-parametric class of classification trees, to identify and rank by significance level the strongest predictors of the three ...
