COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths in Belgian nursing homes: results of a surveillance conducted between April and December 2020
staff members. RESULTS: This surveillance has been launched within 14 days after the first COVID-19 death in Belgium. Automatic data cleaning was installed using different validation rules. More than 99% of NH ...
Investigations upon the Improvement of Dermatophyte Identification Using an Online Mass Spectrometry Application.
media collected every three days after the appearance of the colony. The performance of each library was then analyzed using a cross-validation approach. The spectra acquisitions were carried out using ...
Validity of self-reported air pollution annoyance to assess long-term exposure to air pollutants in Belgium
of variables selected with elastic net cross-validation, including variables related to environmental annoyance, socio-economic and health status of participants. Finally, the performance of the models ...
