We aimed to evaluate the use of an eHealth platform and a self-management outpatient clinic in patients with RA real-world setting. The effects on health-care utilization disease activity were studied.Using hospital data between 2014 2019, participation studied. An interrupted time series analysis compared period before after introduction platform. change trend (relative pre-interruption trend) for number visits DAS 28 joints (DAS28) determined several scenarios.After implementation April...
There is only limited understanding of why hand hygiene improvement strategies are successful or fail. It therefore important to look inside the 'black box' such strategies, ascertain which components a strategy work well less well. This study examined two were associated with increased nurses' compliance.

The aims this pilot study were to obtain patients’ experiences online self-monitoring, assess information about agreement between assessed patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and an objectively measured Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28) by rheumatologist, adherence predetermined PROM frequency intervals.

Abstract Background Elderly residents in long-term care facilities (LTCFs) are vulnerable to healthcare-associated infections. Although hand hygiene is a leading measure for preventing infection, the compliance of healthcare workers low. The aim this study identify determinants that influence nursing staff LTCFs.

Abstract The effect of millet, Pennisetum typhoideum Rich. (Poaceae), leaf nitrogen content on fitness parameters the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria Forsk. (Orthoptera: Acrididae), was studied under laboratory conditions. Locusts reared high‐nitrogen leaves were larger, developed faster, had higher survival, reproduced more and earlier, showed greater synchronization than those fed low‐nitrogen leaves. Active passive cannibalism contributed to mortality when locusts leaves, but not...
Public health authorities have recognized lack of hand hygiene in hospitals as one the important causes preventable mortality and morbidity at population level. The implementation strategy ACCOMPLISH (Actively Creating COMPLIance Saving Health) targets both individual environmental determinants hygiene. This study aims to evaluate cost-effectiveness a multicomponent aimed reduction healthcare associated infections Dutch hospital care, by promotion package will be evaluated two-arm cluster...

Guidelines will be implemented this study. Two used to improve adherence guidelines The state-of-the-art strategy...
Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are increasingly used in the assessment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The aim this study was to assess construct validity and reproducibility four types PROMs (numerical rating scale (NRS), visual analogue (VAS), verbal (VRS), Likert scale). In addition, patients' preference for one these measured. Patients stable RA no change pain medication or steroid (n = 211) were asked complete a questionnaire directly following, 5 days after their...
