The hypothesis is that the prevalence of heart failure is underestimated in Dutch nursing homes. In addition it is hypothesized that residents with heart failure experience a lower quality of life, have a higher degree of care dependency and have…
The reported incidence of delirium in the intensive care unit varies from 16 to 89%. A delirium is associated with increased mortality, increased hospital length of stay, higher cost of care and cognitive impairment. The Pain, Agitation and Delirium…
The Rotterdam Study studies causes of diseases in the elderly, as a response to demographic changes leading to an increase of the proportion of elderly people in most populations.
Frequent absenteeism is a problem for employers and employees. The objective of the study is to research the effect of an internet-intervention (with and without consultation with the Occupational Physician) on the frequency of absenteeism
The current rise of CA-MRSA in the Netherlands is due to them all being MRSA of Unknown Origin (MUO). We do not know the risk factors yet of these. If we do, the CA-MRSA will drop.
4DryField® PH on the uterine wound reduces adhesions between the uterus and bladder/abdominal wall and as a consequence reduction of dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain and niche related problems after caesarean sections.
First-trimester obstetric prediction rules can lead to improved outcomes for mother and child if they can guide effective actions that are tailored to individual risk profiles.
Antenatal corticosteroids (a routine obstetric medication) reduces variability in maternal heart rate.
Firstly, we hypothesise that Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for diabetes patients will reduce depressive symptoms and will increase diabetes self-care behaviour. Furthermore, we explore the underlying operating mechanisms of ACT. We…
In this study we explore the feasibility of combined decitabine and cytarabine chemotherapy in AML and high risk MDS patients with a high risk of early mortality (day 30 mortality) during standard induction chemotherapy (HCT-CI co-morbidity index…
increased gastric distention will induce greater activation in satiety related areas
We hypothesize that the ddPCR has a sensitivity of at least 80%
An intramural course is defined as the anomalous coronary artery being embedded in the aortic tunica media
The aim of this study is to assess the ability of PET using [18F] fluorothymidine (FLT), an imaging biomarker, performed at week 10 of treatment can discriminate between pseudo progression and true progression as measured by MRI at 10 and 22 weeks,…
Studies on PSMA PET/CT the past few years are promising but often of retrospective nature and with heterogeneous patient populations. In our academic centre there are currently two trials running with 18 F-FDHT PET/CT. Results are promising, but…
Develop a screening tool to identify children at risk of posttraumatic stress disorder after an accident.
VTE risk prediction might be improved by using the modified risk scores.
See summary.
High-risk human papillomavirus (hr-HPV) DNA testing complementary to current cytology examination (i.e. Pap test) of cervical smears has shown an increased sensitivity and negative predictive value (NPV) for cervical cancer and its precursor lesions…
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…
