This article presents a summary of the 2017 Annual Report European Renal Association-European Dialysis and Transplant Association (ERA-EDTA) Registry describes epidemiology renal replacement therapy (RRT) for end-stage disease (ESRD) in 37 countries.The ERA-EDTA received individual patient data on patients undergoing RRT ESRD from 32 national or regional registries aggregated 21 registries. The incidence prevalence RRT, kidney transplantation activity survival probabilities these were...
Background During the 1990s, inequalities in smoking prevalence by socioeconomic status (SES) have widened Europe. Since then, many tobacco control policies been implemented. Yet, European overviews of recent trends are lacking. This paper aims to provide an overview long-term cessation Methods We used data for 11 countries taken from Eurobarometer surveys 1987 1995 and 2002–2012, with a total study sample 63 737 respondents. performed multilevel logistic regression model associations quit...
Objectives Smoking among migrants is known to differ from the host population, but migrants’ smoking rarely ever compared prevalence of in their country origin. The goal this study compare that both US-born population and countries Further analyses assess influence sex, age at time entry US education level. Methods Data 248,726 14 were obtained Tobacco Use Supplement Current Population Survey (TUS-CPS) 2006–2007. on 108,653 respondents corresponding origin taken World Health (WHS) 2002–2005....
As indicated by the ANGELO framework and similar models, various environmental factors influence population levels of physical activity (PA). To date attention has focused on micro-level environment, while evidence macro-level environment remains scarce mostly limited to high-income countries. This study aims investigate whether at are associated with PA among a broader range Data from World Health Survey (WHS) was used analyze 177,035 adults 38 (mostly low middle income) The International...
It is uncertain whether tobacco control policies have contributed to a narrowing or widening of socioeconomic inequalities in smoking European countries during the past two decades. This paper aims investigate impact price and non-price related population-wide on by group nine between 1990 2007. Individual-level education, occupation status were obtained from nationally representative surveys. Country-level price-related measured relative cheapest cigarettes most popular category. summary...
In Southern Europe, smoking among older women was more prevalent the high educated than lower educated, we call this a positive gradient. This is dominant in early stages of epidemic model, later replaced by negative The aim study to assess if gradient can also be observed low and middle income countries other regions world. We used data World Health Survey from 49 total 233,917 respondents. Multilevel logistic regression model associations between individual level both country determinants....
Background The impact of tobacco control policies on measures smoking cessation behaviour has often been studied, yet there is little information their precise magnitude and duration. This study aims to measure the timing Dutch rate searching for cessation, using Google Trends search query data. Methods An interrupted time series analysis was used examine effect two types (smoke-free legislation reimbursement support (SCS)) searches 'quit smoking'. data were seasonally adjusted analysed...
The impact of tobacco control on European older adults has not been studied, despite evidence that smoking cessation at old age can bring significant life expectancy gains. Our aim was to evaluate the policies among in Europe from 2004 2013.We used longitudinal data Survey Health, Ageing and Retirement (SHARE, aged 50+ years) four waves 2013. We logistic regression models with clustered standard errors determine whether implementation associated changes status. Furthermore, we studied these...

Background: There has been much variation between European countries in the development of tobacco control policy. Not is known about factors that shape this variation. This study aimed to assess role political policy development. Methods: We used data from 11 1996 2010. Multilevel regression modelling was investigate associations Tobacco Control Scale (TCS) and indicators left-wing government effectiveness (policy formulation, implementation enforcement), with for confounders. Results: An...
Background Worldwide, efforts are being made to stop the COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2. Contact tracing and quarantining key in limiting SARS-CoV-2 transmission. Mathematical models have shown that time between infection, isolation of cases, contacts most important components determine whether can be controlled. Mobile contact-tracing apps could accelerate contacts, including anonymous contacts. However, real-world observational data on uptake determinants limited. Objective The aim...
Tobacco control policies seemed to have failed reduce socioeconomic inequalities in smoking the past. It has been argued that a comprehensive mix of is needed. Our aim was assess whether tobacco policy development Netherlands between 1988 and 2011 associated with educational cessation cigarette consumption. Data were derived from cross-sectional Dutch Continuous Survey Smoking Habits, study sample 259,140 respondents through 2011. Outcomes quit ratio mean number cigarettes smoked per day....
To thrive as an individual and within society, children need to develop the ability control their behavior. Using a twin design, we estimated relative influence of genetic, shared, unique environmental factors on hot cool effortful (EC). Furthermore, investigated whether parental sensitivity in play, task, or discipline context when were average 3.78 years old, was differentially related children's EC 1 year later (Mage 4.77 years). We included 476 from 238 pairs (48% boys, 58% monozygotic)...
We examined the relative contribution of genetic, shared environmental and non-shared factors to covariance between parental sensitivity limit-setting observed twice in a longitudinal study using child-based twin design. Parental were 236 parents with each their same-sex toddler children (Mage = 3.8 years; 58% monozygotic). Bivariate behavioral genetic models indicated substantial effects similar on overlap within across 1 year. Moderate child-driven found for year Genetic child contributing...
Background The effects of tobacco control policies have often been assessed by looking at smoking cessation rates, with less attention to precursors behavioural change such as contemplation. This study aims measure the impact Dutch on rate searching for information cessation, using Google Trends search query data.

Pictorial health warnings (PHW) can influence smoking cessation rates and precursors thereof. However, both the magnitude duration of their impact, in national populations, remain uncertain because limitations available data. In this study we used Google Trends data from six European countries to evaluate whether implementation PHW was followed by a short-term increase online searches on cessation.We applied an interrupted time-series design using ARIMA models. We weekly or monthly relative...
Abstract Background The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) provides listings of medical conditions conferring high- or moderate-risk severe COVID-19. In addition, individual countries developed their own risk classifications COVID-19 to select individuals recommended annual vaccination. We assessed the discordance between respective national in assigning children adults groups developing populations Netherlands Norway. Methods This multi-country, healthcare...
The Dutch government introduced the CoronaMelder smartphone application for digital contact tracing (DCT) to complement manual (MCT) by Public Health Services (PHS) during 2020–2022 SARS-CoV-2 epidemic. Modelling studies showed great potential but empirical evidence of DCT and MCT impact is scarce. We determined reasons testing, mean exposure-testing intervals reason using routine data from PHS Amsterdam (1 December 2020 31 May 2021) two rapid diagnostic test accuracy at other sites in...
