Long-Term Follow-Up of Probands With Brugada Syndrome Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This study analyzes the natural history of a large cohort of probands with Brugada syndrome (BrS) to assess the predictive value of different clinical and electrocardiographic parameters for the development of ventricular fibrillation (VF) or sudden cardiac death (SCD) during a long-term follow-up. Baseline characteristics of 289 consecutive probands (203 men; mean age 45 ± 16 years) with a Brugada type 1 electrocardiogram were analyzed. ...
Follow-up of cognitive and motor development of 10-year-old singleton children born after ICSI compared with spontaneously conceived children Vrije Universiteit Brussel
BACKGROUND: This is the first follow-up study of the cognitive, psychosocial, family-relational and medical development of ICSI children at ages 8 and 10. Second-wave study results on the cognitive and motor development of 10-year-old ICSI children are discussed and compared with the outcome at 8 years.
METHODS: Developmental outcomes of 109 10-year-old singletons born through ICSI after at least 32 weeks of gestation were compared with ...

Long-term follow-up of atrioventricular valve function in Fontan patients Vrije Universiteit Brussel Ghent University
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between atrioventricular valve and ventricular function in Fontan survivors, including the effect of atrioventricular valve surgery.
METHODS: Analysis focused on transplant-free survival and the need for atrioventricular valve surgery in single ventricle patients after Fontan completion. Longitudinal echocardiographic examination of long-term valve and ventricular ...
Trypanosome spliced leader RNA for diagnosis of acoziborole treatment outcome in gambiense human African trypanosomiasis: a longitudinal follow-up study Institute of Tropical Medicine
BACKGROUND: Detection of spliced leader (SL)-RNA allows sensitive diagnosis of gambiense human African trypanosomiasis (HAT). We investigated its diagnostic performance for treatment outcome assessment.
METHODS: Blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from a consecutive series of 97 HAT patients, originating from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, were prospectively collected before treatment with acoziborole, and during 18 months of ...
Interest of Anorectal Manometry During Long-term Follow-up of Patients Operated on for Hirschsprung's Disease Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Background/Aims Although many advances in the management of Hirschsprung's disease have recently been achieved, postoperative outcomes of these patients remain difficult in a non-negligible number of cases. Therefore, this study aims at investigating characteristics of anorectal manometry and its relationship with postoperative outcomes during long-term follow-up in Hirschsprung patients. Methods Patients over 4 years of age operated on for ...
