Diseases Uterine Cervical Neoplasms Young adult Abstract: BACKGROUND: The epidemiology of human papillomavirus (HPV) in women has been well documented. Less is known about the epidemiology of HPV in men. We ...
Evolution of patient characteristics and outcomes concerning diabetic foot ulcer care in Belgium between 2008 and 2020
faster presentation to the MDFC with less severe DFU, the outcome did not change over time and even a slight decrease in healed DFU after 6 months could be observed. A negative trend towards less ...

The COVID-19 pandemic minimally interfered with delivery of care and did not result in worse outcomes of diabetic foot ulcers in Belgium
lockdown received more often ankle-high offloading using a shoe (B: 60% vs. C: 42%; p<0.05). Revascularization rates of patients with (sub)critical ischemia were similar, however less patients that ...
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the presentation rate and severity of diabetic foot ulcers in Belgium
lockdown had less frequently a history of prior DFU (B: 50% vs. A: 60%; p = 0.0047). No increase in median patient-reported presentation delay [P25 — P75] was observed (A: 3 [1-8] vs. B: 3 [1-7] weeks; ...

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.
CONCLUSIONS: This meta-analysis confirms that p16 staining and p16/Ki-67 staining are more specific for CIN2 +/ CIN3 + than hrHPV DNA testing. Although p16 staining is less sensitive for CIN3 + than hrHPV DNA ...

0.97 to 1.02). However, hrHPV assays based on signal amplification were less sensitive on self samples (pooled ratio 0.85, 95% confidence interval 0.80 to 0.89). The specificity to exclude CIN2 + was 2% ...
