Voice symptoms and risk factors for developing voice disorders in future musical actors Universiteit Gent

Evelien D'haeseleer, Sofie Claeys, Iris Meerschman, Kim Bettens, Sofie Degeest, Caroline Dijckmans, Joke De Smet, Anke Luyten, Kristiane Van Lierde
Musical theater students follow an intensive program of singing, acting and physical excercises (dancing) and are expected to participate in long rehearsals and full performances. As they are absolutely depending on their vocal quality and vocal capacities for their studies and their future profession, an optimal voice coaching is very important. The purpose of this study was to determine the voice quality, voice symptoms and the risk factors ...

Psychosocial risk factors in relation to other cardiovascular risk factors in coronary heart disease : results from the EUROASPIRE IV survey : a registry from the European Society of Cardiology Universiteit Gent

Nana Pogosova, Kornelia Kotseva, Dirk De Bacquer, Roland von Känel, Delphine De Smedt, Jan Bruthans, Maryna Dolzhenko
Background: Depression and anxiety are established psychosocial risk factors for coronary heart disease. Contemporary data on their prevalence and associations with other risk factors were evaluated as part of the EUROASPIRE IV survey. Design: The design of this study was cross-sectional. Methods: The study group consisted of 7589 patients from 24 European countries examined at a median of 1.4 years after hospitalisation due to coronary heart ...

Trajectories of Dynamic Risk Factors During Forensic Treatment: Growth Trajectory of Clinical Risk Factors in a Sample of Dutch Forensic Patients KU Leuven

Robin van der Linde, Stefan Bogaerts, Carlo Garofalo, Eric Blaauw, Elien De Caluwe, Eva Billen, Marinus Spreen
In this study, growth trajectories (from admission until unconditional release) of crime-related dynamic risk factors were investigated in a sample of Dutch forensic patients (N = 317), using latent growth curve modeling. After testing the unconditional model, three predictors were added: first-time offender versus recidivist, age, and treatment duration. Postanalyses were chi-square difference tests, t tests, and analyses of variance (ANOVAs) ...

Added value of patient- and drug-related factors to stratify drug-drug interaction alerts for risk of QT prolongation: Development and validation of a risk prediction model Vrije Universiteit Brussel Universiteit Antwerpen

Katoo Muylle, Sven Van Laere, Luigi Pannone, Samuel Coenen, Carlo De Asmundis, Alain Dupont, Pieter Cornu
Aims: Many clinical decision support systems trigger warning alerts for drug-drug interactions potentially leading to QT prolongation and torsades de pointes (QT-DDIs). Unfortunately, there is overalerting and underalerting because stratification is only based on a fixed QT-DDI severity level. We aimed to improve QT-DDI alerting by developing and validating a risk prediction model considering patient- and drug-related factors. Methods: We fitted ...

Risk factors for incisional complications after exploratory celiotomy in horses: do skin staples increase the risk? Universiteit Gent

Sara Torfs, Tamara Levet, Catherine Delesalle, Jeroen Dewulf, Lieven Vlaminck, Frederik Pille, Laurence Lefère, Ann Martens
Objective: To assess risk factors for celiotomy incisional infection in horses, especially the use of staples for skin closure. Study Design: Case series. Animals: Horses (n = 356) that had 1exploratory celiotomy for colic and survived > 2 weeks after surgery between March 1, 2004 and December 31, 2007. Methods; Incisions were classified as “normal” (no complication, only edema, serous drainage lasting < 24 hours) or as “surgical site ...

Associations of job strain and lifestyle risk factors with risk of coronary artery disease: a meta-analysis of individual participant data Universiteit Gent

Mika Kivimäki, Solja T Nyberg, Eleonor I Fransson, Katriina Heikkilä, Lars Alfredsson, Annalisa Casini, Els Clays, Dirk De Bacquer, Nico Dragano, Jane E Ferrie, et al.
Background: It is unclear whether a healthy lifestyle mitigates the adverse effects of job strain on coronary artery disease. We examined the associations of job strain and lifestyle risk factors with the risk of coronary artery disease. Methods: We pooled individual-level data from 7 cohort studies comprising 102 128 men and women who were free of existing coronary artery disease at baseline (1985-2000). Questionnaires were used to measure job ...
