  • Stakeholders’ views and experiences on implementing new diagnostics in primary care to support management of community-acquired acute respiratory tract infections

    Open AccessMelanie Eugenie Hoste, Elien Colman et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Background: The majority of antibiotics are prescribed in primary care for respiratory tract infections. Point-of-care tests (POCTs) for the management of community-acquired acute respiratory tract infections (CA-ARTI) have been developed to help optimize antibiotic prescribing. While some countries in Europe have adopted these tests in primary care settings, most have not. Stakeholders, such as policy-makers, regulators, the diagnostic industry,…

  • Expert guidance on target product profile development for AMR diagnostic tests

    Open AccessTill T Bachmann, Konstantinos Mitsakakis et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023

    Diagnostics are widely considered crucial in the fight against antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which is expected to kill 10 million people annually by 2030. Nevertheless, there remains a substantial gap between the need for AMR diagnostics versus their development and implementation. To help address this problem, target product profiles (TPP) have been developed to focus developers’ attention on the key aspects of AMR diagnostic tests. However, d…

  • Following the science? Views from scientists on government advisory boards during the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessElien Colman, Marta Wanat et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    INTRODUCTION: In order to tackle the pandemic, governments have established various types of advisory boards to provide evidence and recommendations to policy makers. Scientists working on these boards have faced many challenges, including working under significant time constraints to produce 'evidence' as quickly as possible. However, their voices are still largely missing in the discussion. This study explores the views and experiences of scien…

  • Detection of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) by real-time RT-PCR

    Open AccessVictor M Corman, Olfert Landt et al.ARTICLEEurosurveillance2020

    BACKGROUND: The ongoing outbreak of the recently emerged novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) poses a challenge for public health laboratories as virus isolates are unavailable while there is growing evidence that the outbreak is more widespread than initially thought, and international spread through travellers does already occur. AIM: We aimed to develop and deploy robust diagnostic methodology for use in public health laboratory settings without havi…

  • Coverage determinants of breast cancer screening in Flanders

    Open AccessLilu Ding, Svetlana Jidkova et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2020

    Coverage rate of BC screening is not optimal in Flanders. Women with low SES that are characterized by younger age, living in a high population density area, living in crowded households, or having low dental care are less likely to be screened for BC in Flanders. If screened, they are more likely to be screened outside the BCSP

  • Global increase and geographic convergence in antibiotic consumption between 2000 and 2015

    Open AccessEili Klein, Thomas P Van Boeckel et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2018

    Significance Antibiotic resistance, driven by antibiotic consumption, is a growing global health threat. Our report on antibiotic use in 76 countries over 16 years provides an up-to-date comprehensive assessment of global trends in antibiotic consumption. We find that the antibiotic consumption rate in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) has been converging to (and in some countries surpassing) levels typically observed in high-income countr…

  • Prevalence of high-risk human papillomavirus and abnormal pap smears in female sex workers compared to the general population in Antwerp, Belgium

    Open AccessAlex Vorsters, Tine Cornelissen et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    FSWs have a significantly higher prevalence of hrHPV and more abnormal Pap smears than does the general population in Antwerp, Belgium. The hrHPV prevalence in FSWs is similar to that reported in the literature. The need for tailored intervention programmes should be investigated further
