This study will be performed to test the predictive value of the GFI, the VES-13 and the timed “up and go” test compared to components of PACE in elderly patients of the age of 70 years and above undergoing surgery for a solid tumour.
The primary aim of this study is to investigate objectively, electronically measured noncompliance to inhaled corticosteroids in a multicultural population of children with asthma. Furthermore, the association of determinants such as ethnicity, age…
“Can the use of the Protocol Watch improve the earlier detection of sepsis?” The hypothesis is that the use of the Protocol Watch improves the earlier detection of sepsis with at least 60 minutes.
There are two research questions: 1. What is the effect of a minimal CBT intervention for CFS in primary care carried out by trained social psychiatric nurses? 2. What are the characteristics of CFS patients who do not improve by a minimal…
Providing AAA patients with a decision aid concerning watchful waiting or elective surgery will decrease their decisional conflict, increase their knowledge on treatment options, increase satisfaction and increase quality of life.
The primary aim of the study is to investigate whether it is possible to select patients by PET in a good prognosis group (i.e. low SUV) who will not benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy.
We hypothesize that an electronic nose can discriminate the VOC pattern in exhaled breath between patients with non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and breast cancer.
All Belgian Otorhinolaryngologists were invited to complete a questionnaire, covering demographic and professional characteristics, self-reported knowledge, use and perception of the ARIA guidelines and 4 clinical case scenarios of allergic rhinitis…
We expect the intervention group to be superior in outcomes on anxiety and depression, psychological well-being and psychological flexibility in comparison with the control group at the end of the intervention and at 3 months follow-up.

The outcome of primary cemented total hip arthroplasty in young patients under 50-years implanted at our Department shows promising long-term prosthesis survival rates. However, many young patients have already an acetabular bone stock deficiency at…
We hypothesize that: 1. Subjects with FHBL have disturbed glucose metabolism, consisting of decreased hepatic insulin sensitivity leading to increased glucose production but increased peripheral insulin sensitivity due to decreased concentrations…
Based on its ability to reduce expression and activity of the matrix metalloproteinase 9 doxycycline has been proposed as a means of stabilizing abdominal aneurysms. Yet as progression of AAA is related to increased collagen turnover we hypothesized…
Given the presumed cholinergic deficiency the cholinergic drug rivastigmine might be a suitable drug for treatment of delirium
If subjects view a video a medical consultation, then viewing physician-patient commmunication will yield similar psychological and physiological responses as when that subject is taking part in that consultation.
