Objectives: Assess the predictive accuracy of WHO COVID-19 severity classification on hospitalized patients. The secondary aim was to compare its power with a new prediction model, named EPI-SCORE, based Bayesian network analysis. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed population 295 RT-PCR positive patients at Epicura Hospital Center, Belgium, admitted between March 1st and April 30th, 2020. Results: Our cohort’s median age 73 (62–83) years, female proportion 43%. All were classified...
Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common complication after kidney transplantation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact pre-existing diabetes mellitus and post-transplant (PTDM) on occurrence pyelonephritis in transplant recipients. Methods: We performed retrospective analysis which included 299 adult patients transplanted with between 2018 2022. Patients were categorized into pre-transplantation diabetics, PTDM, non-diabetics. Asymptomatic bacteriuria lower...
Background Comparative long-term survival outcomes between transcatheter (TAVR) and surgical (SAVR) aortic valve replacement remain debated. While randomized controlled trials support TAVR's non-inferiority, real-world data indicate the opposite. Comparing SAVR TAVR patients with matched reference populations may reduce bias from direct comparisons. We compared 5-year overall rates of SAVR, non-frail TAVR, frail those general population standards. Methods All who underwent bioprosthetic or...
We investigate the prevalence of self-reported and objective sudden loss smell (SLS) in patients with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).Severe COVID-19 SLS were recruited at hospitalization discharge. Epidemiological clinical data collected. The Sino-nasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22) was used to evaluate rhinological complaints. Subjective olfactory gustatory functions assessed National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHNES). Objective evaluated using psychophysical tests....
Abstract Background VenoVenous ExtraCorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VV-ECMO) has been widely used as supportive therapy for severe respiratory failure related to Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) due coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). Only a few data describe the maximum time under VV-ECMO during which pulmonary recovery remains possible. The main objective of this study is outcomes prolonged in patients with COVID-19-related ARDS. Methods This retrospective was conducted at tertiary ECMO...
Objective: To investigate prevalence and epidemiological clinical factors associated with OD GD in COVID-19 patients according to the disease severity. Study design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: A total of 2,579 a positive diagnosis were identified between March 22 June 3, 2020 from 18 European hospitals. Epidemiological data extracted. Otolaryngological symptoms, including collected through patient-reported outcome questionnaire sniffin-sticks tests carried out subset patients. Results:...

The objective of the study was to assess mortality rates in COVID-19 patients suffering from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) who also requiring mechanical ventilation. predictors this cohort were analysed, and clinical characteristics recorded.A single centre retrospective conducted on all admitted intensive care unit Epicura Hospital Center, Province Hainaut, Belgium, between March 1st April 30th 2020.Forty-nine included which thirty-four male, fifteen female. mean (SD) age 68.8...
Background High-flow oxygen therapy (HFOT) has been widely used as an effective alternative to invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) in some critically ill patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. This study aimed compare different tools, including the respiratory rate and oxygenation (ROX) index, predict HFOT failure this setting. Methodology single-center retrospective observational was conducted from September December 2020 assessed who required first treatment at admission; defined IMV use....
This study aims to analyze the relationship between AF, frailty, and geriatric syndromes in elderly patients an outpatient inpatient setting a South Belgian hospital. is single center case-control retrospective including 207 enrolled from of Department Geriatrics, Jolimont Hospital Group. Frailty was assessed using complete assessment Rockwoods Clinical Scale. AF strongly associated with age, cardiovascular history, congestive heart failure, as well multiple such vascular dementia,...
Baveno VI and Expanded-Baveno Criteria were validated to rule out high-risk esophageal varices (HRV) prevent unneeded endoscopies in compensated advanced chronic liver disease (cACLD) mainly related viral hepatitis. We aim assess these criteria low- high- risk patients with cACLD secondary alcoholic (ALD) non- fatty (NAFLD).Data collected retrospectively from 2016 2020. Inclusion were: NAFLD /or ALD cACLD, a stiffness measurement (LSM) ≥ 10 kPa an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) within 12...

Abstract Background and Aims Cardiovascular diseases are traditionally considered as the leading cause of death in kidney transplant recipients. Significant improvements immunosuppressive strategies but also prevention management cardiovascular have been made over last decades. Therefore, we aimed to explore evolution time causes with a functioning graft Method We performed retrospective study including all patients transplanted between January 1995 December 2009 at Cliniques Universitaires...

Abstract Background Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and surgical (SAVR) are the reference treatments for stenosis. Conflicting data exist on late survival results of these two techniques. While randomised controlled trials (with highly selected patients) assert non-inferiority TAVR, real-world from large registries potential uncorrected confounders) suggest opposite. Comparing rates SAVR TAVR with those a matched population could help circumvent biases direct procedural...
