With optimized case finding more patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) will be detected than with usual care. We expect this is cost-effective, because expensive adverse events resulting from AF can be prevented with generally cheap interventions.
The implicit training (AAT) added to standard behaviour therapy will reduce relapse rates after treatment when compared to the control group.
It is hypothesised that inhaled mannitol 400 mg b.d. will lead to a significant improvement in the absolute change in percentage of predicted FEV1 from baseline following eight-weeks of trial treatment compared to treatment with inhaled placebo b.d…
We hypothesize that bi-daily 5ml NaCl 7% nebulizations improve respiratory symptoms and quality of life in PCD patients compared to 5ml NaCl 0,9% nebulizations.
We expect that the decision aid will support patients in deciding about prostate cancer treatment by decreasing decisional conflict and regret. We also expect and an improvement of treatment satisfaction and health-related quality of life.
Primary Objective: Establishing the course of surgical fear, assessed by the surgical fear questionnaire at multiple time points, from one week before surgery until the day of surgery. Secondary Objectives: • Establishing the convergent validity of…
Allogeneic blood transfusions are reduced when comparing the use of an ABT system to no use of post-operative drains in patients who underwent TKA.
• CT based Signature™ will result in a comparable percentage of prosthesis that is placed correctly (within guidelines of 3 degrees varus and 3 degrees valgus). • CT-based Signature™ will result in a comparable alignment of the prosthesis as…
The central hypothesis is that the mobile programme is more effective than the web-based programme in increasing physical activity (PA). i.e. 1. Both intervention groups will show an increased PA level. 2. Participants of the mobile programme…
This study has 2 primary objectives: 1) To determine the time point of induction of VEGF expression in the tumour tissue of oesophagus carcinomas during chemoradiation. 2) To determine whether the tumour promoting effects of this induction of VEGF…
The primary objective is to estimate the frequency of subjects with at least one apnoeic episode, defined as respiratory rate ≤6, detected using the respiR8® device for up to 6 hours after surgery. Apnoea is defined as 10 seconds of no breathing…
- The incidence of PONV will be higher in the group receiving dexamethasone alone - There will be no significant difference in the incidence of PONV between the two groups receiving two anti-emetic drugs - There will be less postoperative agitation…
With a multi-faceted strategy we are able to implement shared decision making so that it meets the needs and demands of both professionals and patients, without interfering in daily practice.
Pulmonary rehabilitation prior to bariatric surgery is effective by means of outcome (asthma control, complications, recovery, physical condition, quality of life) after the bariatric surgery.
A subset of patients with ulcerative colitis have disease limited to only the rectum. Most patients will reach remission with conventional 5-ASA or corticosteroid treatments. However, there have been few studies investigating treatment options in…
The main aim of this project is to conduct a pilot randomized controlled trail (RCT) to evaluate the preliminary effectiveness and feasibility of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as an intervention for relatives of long-term missing persons. The…
We hypothesize that there is no difference between the survival and follow of the uncemented and cemented ABG THA.
Emotional neglect is a serious social problem, with many adverse consequences for the development of children. However, emotional neglect is difficult to identify for pediatricians. Indicators of emotional neglect in children of parents with…
The effects of cross-education on loss of muscle strength and knee function after ACL reconstruction
There is over 30% loss of voluntary muscle force in the operated leg after an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery. Patients could return to sport or work sooner by minimizing muscle weakness. As a novel approach, we propose to…
To dermine the kinetics and spectrum of tumor mutations in the urine and plasma of bladder cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced cancer or systemic therapy for metastatic disease.
