Clinical and laboratory features of the most common Clostridium difficile ribotypes isolated in Belgium.
However, after adjusting for age, onset outside the hospital and recurrence, R027 was no longer associated with complications [odds ratio (OR) 1.3, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.7-2.4], unlike R078 (OR 1.7, ...
Persistence of antimicrobial resistance in respiratory streptococci.
unstable and their confidence intervals were wide, which called for a sensitivity analysis using an adjusted GEE model with three different BR estimates. All models indicated that the proportion of ...
Diagnostic accuracy of p16(INK4a) immunohistochemistry in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
p16(INK4 a) IHC, HPV DNA PCR, HPV DNA ISH and p16(INK4 a) IHC / HPV DNA PCR combined testing was 94% (95%-confidence interval (CI) 91-97%), 98% (CI 94-100%), 85% (CI 76-92%) and 93% (CI 87-97%), ...
Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry for Combined Species Identification and Drug Sensitivity Testing in Mycobacteria.
facilitate and fasten mycobacterial DST and to combine it directly with high-confidence species-level identifications. Given the ease of interpretation, its application in NTM typing might be the first in ...
An application of mass spectrometry for quality control of biologicals: Highly sensitive profiling of plasma residuals in human plasma-derived immunoglobulin.
prothrombotic FXI a was assessed with confident identification of a 1ng/mg spike. Moreover, different residuals compositions were profiled for various commercial Ig products. Using a quantitative label free ...
Immediate referral to colposcopy versus cytological surveillance for low-grade cervical cytological abnormalities in the absence of HPV test: A systematic review and a meta-analysis of the literature.
default rates during follow-up. Pooled risk ratios (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using a random-effect model and with inverse variance weighting. Interstudy heterogeneity was ...
General practice patients treated for substance use problems: a cross-national observational study in Belgium.
16.7% with illicit drugs other than heroin or methadone and 15.9% with heroin or methadone. Problems with alcohol alone were more prevalent in Flanders (53.0%; 95% confidence interval (CI) 46.8-59.1%) ...
Ambient Air Pollution-related Mortality in Dairy Cattle: Does It Corroborate Human Findings?
associations between air pollution and dairy cattle mortality during the warm season. The increase in mortality for a 10 μg/m increase in 2-day (lag 0-1) O3 was 1.2% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.3%, 2.1%), ...
Evaluation of three competitive ELISAs and a fluorescence polarisation assay for the diagnosis of bovine brucellosis.
sensitive tests were FPA (99.0%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 97.9-100%), C- ELISA1 (98.4%; 95% CI, 97.0-99.8%) and RBT (97.7%; 95% CI, 95.9-99.3%). The most specific tests were CFT (99.98%; 95% CI, ...
Endocrine activity of mycotoxins and mycotoxin mixtures.
mixtures reacted as predicted by the concentration addition (CA) theory. Generally, the CA was within the 95% confidence interval of the observed ones, only minor deviations were detected. Although these ...
