Associations of heat with diseases and specific symptoms in Flanders, Belgium: An 8-year retrospective study of general practitioner registration data.
conditional quasi-Poisson regression was used to account for the non-linear and delayed effect of temperature indicators (minimum, mean and maximum). We controlled for potential confounders such as particulate ...
SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence and determinants for salivary seropositivity among pupils and school staff: a prospective cohort study
remain ambiguous. We performed a nation-wide prospective seroprevalence study among pupils and staff over time and in relation to determinants of infection using Poisson regression and generalised ...
Mental health, compliance with measures and health prospects during the COVID-19 epidemic: the role of health literacy.
health, non-compliance with the measures and health prospects in relation to health literacy were calculated using Poisson regressions. RESULTS: People showing sufficient health literacy were less likely to ...
Heat related mortality in the two largest Belgian urban areas: A time series analysis
until 2011 taking into account the effect of air pollution. Methods The threshold in temperature above which mortality increases was determined using segmented regressions for both urban areas. The ...
Incidence rate, predictors and outcomes of interruption of HIV care: nationwide results from the Belgian HIV cohort
2007 and 31 December 2016. An HCI episode was defined as 1 year without an HIV care record. The HCI incidence rate was analysed using Poisson regression, return to HIV care using a cumulative incidence ...

(2) dissemination with additional group-level training. Both conditions were compared against a control condition with no intervention. The effect of the intervention was measured using Poisson ...
Decreasing rates of major lower-extremity amputation in people with diabetes but not in those without: a nationwide study in Belgium.
amputation rate (first per year) in the populations with and without diabetes for major and minor LEA s, and the corresponding relative risks. To test for time trends, Poisson regression models were fitted. ...
Relationships between aeroallergen levels and hospital admissions for asthma in the Brussels-Capital Region: a daily time series analysis.
were performed. Effects up to 6 days after exposure were captured by combining quasi-Poisson regression with distributed lag models, adjusting for seasonal and long-term trends, day of the week, public ...
Short-term effects of nitrogen dioxide on hospital admissions for cardiovascular disease in Wallonia, Belgium.
hospitals. Analyses were performed using the quasi-Poisson regression model adjusted for seasonality, long-term trend, day of the week, and temperature. Our study confirms the existence of an association ...
Childhood leukaemia near nuclear sites in Belgium, 2002–2008
living in the vicinity of the nuclear sites in Belgium. Poisson regression modelling was carried out for proximity areas of varying sizes. In addition, the hypothesis of a gradient in leukaemia incidence ...
