Trends in neonatal morbidity and mortality for very low birthweight infants : a 20-year single-center experience Universiteit Gent
Objective To describe trends in mortality and morbidity rates of very low birth weight infants as well as their pre-, peri- and postnatal characteristics over a period of 20 years' time. Methods Retrospective study in all very low birth weight infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of the University Hospitals Ghent from 1 January 2000, to 31 December 2020. Mortality was the primary outcome variable with major morbidities being ...
Maternal postpartum morbidity in Marrakech: what women feel what doctors diagnose? Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
BACKGROUND: Information about postpartum maternal morbidity in developing countries is limited and often based on information obtained from hospitals. As a result, the reports do not usually reflect the true magnitude of obstetric complications and poor management at delivery. In Morocco, little is known about obstetric maternal morbidity. Our aim was to measure and identify the causes of postpartum morbidity 6 weeks after delivery and to ...
Early contralateral shoulder-arm morbidity in breast cancer patients enrolled in a randomized trial of post-surgery radiation therapy. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Introduction:
Shoulder/arm morbidity is a common complication of breast cancer surgery and radiotherapy (RT), but little is known
about acute contralateral morbidity.
Methods:
Patients were 118 women enrolled in a RT trial. Arm volume and shoulder mobility were assessed before and 1-3 months
after RT. Correlations and linear regression were used to analyze changes affecting ipsilateral and contralateral arms, ...

Long-term cardiometabolic morbidity in young adults with classic 21-hydroxylase deficiency congenital adrenal hyperplasia Universiteit Gent
PurposeTo study the current practice for assessing comorbidity in adults with 21-hydroxylase CAH and to assess the prevalence of comorbidity in these adults.MethodsA structured questionnaire was sent to 46 expert centres managing adults with CAH. Information collected included current therapy and surveillance practice with a particular focus on osteoporosis/osteopaenia, hyperlipidaemia, type 2 diabetes/hyperinsulinaemia, hypertension, CV ...
Shoulder and arm morbidity in sentinel node-negative breast cancer patients Universiteit Antwerpen
The purpose of this study was to assess which shoulder and arm impairments are common in sentinel node-negative breast cancer patients and to describe the incidence and time course of these impairments. A systematic literature search was performed using different electronic databases until October 2013. Inclusion criteria were (1) research studies that included breast cancer patients surgically treated using the sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) ...
Bladder morbidity and hepatic fibrosis in mixed Schistosoma haematobium and S. mansoni infections: a population-wide study in northern Senegal Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
BACKGROUND: The global distribution map of schistosomiasis shows a large overlap of Schistosoma haematobium- and S. mansoni-endemic areas in Africa. Yet, little is known about the consequences of mixed Schistosoma infections for the human host. A recent study in two neighboring co-endemic communities in Senegal indicated that infection intensities of both species were higher in mixed than in single infections. Here, we investigated the ...
Micro-geographical heterogeneity in and infection and morbidity in a co-endemic community in Northern Senegal Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
BACKGROUND: Schistosoma mansoni and S. haematobium are co-endemic in many areas in Africa. Yet, little is known about the micro-geographical distribution of these two infections or associated disease within such foci. Such knowledge could give important insights into the drivers of infection and disease and as such better tailor schistosomiasis control and elimination efforts. METHODOLOGY: In a co-endemic farming community in northern Senegal ...
Decreasing donor site morbidity after groin vascularized lymph node transfer with lessons learned from a 12-year experience and review of the literature Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Introduction: Donor site morbidity related to vascularized lymph node transfer (VLNT) remains a cause of worry among surgeons. As such, our study explores donor site morbidity after VLNT with or without concomitant deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction. Furthermore, we evaluate our surgical approach to ascertain whether it reduces the morbidity rate. Materials and methods: A retrospective chart review of ...
The morbidity of schistosomiasis mansoni in the highland focus of Lake Cohoha, Burundi Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Morbidity due to infection with Schistosoma mansoni was investigated in a recently discovered highland focus around Lake Cohoha, Burundi. The distribution of the infection was very focal and morbidity patterns in populations from an endemic area A (prevalence 38%, mean egg load of positive subjects 231 eggs per gram [epg]), a less affected area B (16%, 90 epg) and a virtually non-endemic area C (5%, 45 epg), were compared; apart from ...
