Patient education on extended anticoagulation pros and cons: a journey app in venous thromboembolism
Our hypothesis is that patients whom receive targeted information about VTE and (extended) anticoagulation treatment with the 'patient journey app' on a daily basis in the week preceding their hospital visit will be more satisfied with the…
To determine whether a strategy of invasive treatment (relative to continued medical treatment) of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, mild symptoms of stable angina pectoris, and documented myocardial ischemia lead to a decrease in cardiac…
