Health outcomes for people at risk of or suffering from non-communicable lung diseases in low-resource settings will be improved by developing capacity for implementation of evidence-based interventions for prevention, diagnosis and treatment in…
For the prevention of diabetic foot ulceration, evidence exists to support the use of home-monitoring of foot skin temperature by means of a hand-held infrared skin thermometer. However, the construct validity of skin temperature measurements is…
Null hypothesis: the 8 centres with different cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programmes do not differ from each other with regards to the effectiveness.
To investigate in an unselected memory clinic sample, the clinical value of 18F]FBB PET in terms of 1. change in diagnosis; 2. change in level of confidence of diagnosis; 3. impact on patient healthcare management.
Sentinel node mapping for bladder cancer is possible using the hybrid tracer ICG-99mTc-nanocolloid
The invasive bacteria Shigella and entero-invasive E.coli (EIEC) that cause gastro-enteritis, are genetically related and share an infection mechanism. In the Netherlands, Shigellosis is a notifiable disease, while infections with EIEC are not. With…
Children with underlying medical conditions, prematurity and low birth weight are at increased risk of hospitalizations due to rotavirus (RV) gastroenteritis, RV related complications and mortality. In a recent Dutch study it was demonstrated that…
We expect that mp-MRI, molecular urine test and Prostate Cancer Risk Calculator may be of additional value in differentiating between significant and insignificant cancers in men with an elevated PSA in the primairy diagnosis. If so, it will result…
The aim of the NEtherlands Chlamydia Cohort STudy (NECCST) is to assess the risk of developing complications and the time to pregnancy in women with and without a known previous Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) infection. Furthermore, this study aims at…
Physcial therapy is an effective treatment for patients with hip impingement
Patients subject to MET review have a high in-hospital mortality (20%). Thus, understanding the outcome of patients within the first 24hr of MET review is important in developing quality improvement and interventional studies to reduce this…
The purpose of this study is: 1. To investigate the differential effectiveness of group and individual parent training in PRT on opportunities created by parents and social initiations of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). 2. To…
Patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and with B-cell lymphomas, unclassifiable with features intermediate between diffuse large B cell lymphoma and Burkitt lymphoma (BCL-U) that harbor a MYC rearrangement (MYC+ DLBCL) have a dismal…
The aim of this observational study is to investigate the relationship between orthostatic hypotension and the rate of successful rehabilitation. A previous study showed that orthostatic hypotension increased the risk for successful rehabilitation,…
Objective: To study the (cost-)effectiveness of robotic compared to open cystectomy in patients with bladder cancer
The primary objective of this study is to explore the correlation between invasive and non-invasive haemodynamic variables and monitor the effect of treatment during admission for acute decompensated heart failure. In particular to investigate…
Our hypothesis is that high-dose, pulsatile sorafenib may exhibit improved efficacy with an acceptable toxicity profile compared to standard continuous dosing. AUC escalation cohorts are used instead of the conventional dose escalation cohorts,…
Self monitoring of the ECG by the patient contributes to the correct diagnosis, reduces the frequency of cardiology consultations and leads to less side effects and lower dosage of medication. Patients become more confident and gain more insight…
