Real-time prediction of influenza outbreaks in Belgium.
different epidemic seasons, providing weekly predictions makes it possible to capture variations in the ILI incidence. The confidence region becomes more representative of the epidemic behavior as ILI data ...
Prevalence of healthcare-associated infections, estimated incidence and composite antimicrobial resistance index in acute care hospitals and long-term care facilities: results from two European point prevalence surveys, 2016 to 2017
and 117,138 residents from 2,221 long-term care facilities (LTCF) in 23 countries. After national validation, we estimated that 6.5% (cumulative 95% confidence interval (cCI): 5.4–7.8%) patients in ACH ...
Antimicrobial use in European long-term care facilities: results from the third point prevalence survey of healthcare-associated infections and antimicrobial use, 2016 to 2017
confidence interval: 4.8–5.1) of LTCF residents in the EU / EEA participating countries received at least one antimicrobial. The most commonly reported Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) groups were ...
Meta-analysis of the accuracy of p16 or p16/Ki-67 immunocytochemistry versus HPV testing for the detection of CIN2+/CIN3+ in triage of women with minor abnormal cytology.
RESULTS: Thirty-eight studies were eligible. The sensitivity of p16 staining for CIN3 + was significantly lower than that of hrHPV DNA testing (ratio for ASC- US, 0.87; 95% confidence interval [CI], ...
Impact of the human papillomavirus status on the development of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in women negative for intraepithelial lesions or malignancy at the baseline: A 9-year Swedish nested case-control follow-up study.
Baseline liquid-based cytology samples were tested for HPV. Conditional logistic regression analysis was used to calculate odds ratios (OR s) with confidence intervals (CI s). RESULTS The risk of future ...
Combining primary care surveillance and a meta-analysis to estimate the incidence of the clinical manifestations of Lyme borreliosis in Belgium, 2015–2017
were retained in the systematic review, and the meta-analysis estimated the occurrence ratios for Lyme neuroborreliosis/ EM, Lyme arthritis/ EM and other manifestations/ EM at 0.024 (95% confidence ...
The seroprevalence of cytomegalovirus infection in Belgium anno 2002 and 2006: a comparative analysis with hepatitis A virus seroprevalence
age group weighted overall CMV seroprevalence derived from the mixture model was 32% (95% confidence interval (CI) 31-34%) in 2002 and 31% (95% CI 30-32%) in 2006. We demonstrated that CMV epidemiology ...
addhaz: Contribution of Chronic Diseases to the Disability Burden Using R.
log-likelihood functions using constrained optimization. Wald and bootstrap confidence intervals can be obtained for the parameter estimates. Also, the contribution of diseases to the disability prevalence and ...
Detecting cervical precancer and reaching underscreened women by using HPV testing on self samples: updated meta-analyses.
participation trials were included. hrHPV assays based on polymerase chain reaction were as sensitive on self samples as on clinician samples to detect CIN2 + or CIN3 + (pooled ratio 0.99, 95% confidence interval ...
Point Prevalence Study of Healthcare-Associated Infections and Antimicrobial Use in Belgian Acute-Care Hospitals: Results of the ECDC PPS 2017
(ECDC). In the participating Belgian acute care hospital sites (N=52, September-December 2011), the prevalence of patients with at least one antimicrobial and at least one HAI was 28.9% (95% confidence ...
