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…
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…
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,…
Monitoring a patient’s oxygen status during anesthesia using pulse oximetry is essential. The new Oxygen Reserve Index (ORI) may help provide clinicians real-time visibility to oxygenation in a moderate hypoxic range and serve as a warning of an…
Aim of the study is to determine how often muscle strength measurements should be repeated, using a hand-held dynamometer to obtain a maximal muscle strength measurement
Painreduction for 67% of patients with a locally advanced or local recurrent pancreatic carcinoma through a short radiotherapy scheme (single arm phase 2 study)
Several reasons for clozapine discontinuation are known, but the current evidence identifying patients who are at risk of discontinuation of clozapine is small and not always consistent. Also cultural differences may question if international…
The null-hypothesis predicts that Inlife is not feasible. The alternative hypothesis predicts that the Inlife intervention is evaluated as being feasible. We expect the alternative hypothesis to be true. Inlife will be feasible and minor revisions…
The EuraHS-QoL questionnaire is a valid instrument to measure quality-of-life before and after ventral hernia repair.
Refinement of the CHIP prediction rule will lead to a more efficient use of head CT in patients with minor head injury
The objectives of this pilot are (1) to test and develop an experimental setup to determine contrast sensitivity, visual field and adaptation time at high light conditions. (2) To perform a pilot study with 10 healthy subject.
MIA is a good alternative for the CA, with comparable diagnostic performance. It will lead to an increase in clinical autopsy rates, which have significantly decreased over the last decades in both academic and non-academic medical centers.
Betere patientveiligheidscultuur leidt tot een betere naleving van de richtlijnen op de OK om postoperatieve wondinfecties te voorkomen.
The aim of this study is to assess the predictive value of the HowRwe questionnaire in relation to the EUROPEP questionnaire by analyzing scores acquired in Dutch GP practices. We expect that high HowRwe scores are associated with an positive…
Patients suffering from high risk or relapsed leukaemia or high risk MDS can only occasionally be cured with conventional chemotherapy. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) has substantially improved the outcome of such patients due to a…
The central hypothesis of our study is that routine postsurgical anesthesia visits reduces postoperative 30-day mortality by 30%.
