BackgroundCT is thought to play a key role in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) diagnostic workup. The possibility of comparing data across different settings depends on the systematic and reproducible manner which scans are analyzed reported. COVID-19 Reporting Data System (CO-RADS) corresponding CT severity score (CTSS) introduced by Radiological Society Netherlands (NVvR) attempt do so. However, this system has not been externally validated.Research QuestionWe aimed prospectively...
Abstract Objective To evaluate face‐to‐face information provision in patient counselling for prenatal screening compared with two forms of digital provision, namely, noninteractive instructional video or interactive video. Method We performed a prospective, noninferiority, cluster‐randomized controlled trial comparing (usual care) (intervention) screening. This study was the Amsterdam UMC, Netherlands, 2017, and included women first trimester pregnancy. Main outcomes were knowledge gained by...
Background For most patients with newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation (AF), direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are preferred over vitamin K antagonists. However, there is concern that the lack of monitoring may impair therapy adherence and therefore anticoagulant effect. Objective To assess 1-year DOAC nonadherence in AF a treatment indication at least 1 year Dutch health care setting, to identify predictors nonadherence. Methods We performed near-nationwide historical cohort study novel for...
A recent systematic review recommends against the use of any current COVID-19 prediction models in clinical practice. To enable clinicians to appropriately profile and treat suspected patients at emergency department (ED), externally validated that predict poor outcome are desperately needed.Our aims were identify predictors outcome, defined as mortality or ICU admission within 30 days, presenting ED with a suspicion COVID-19, develop validate model for outcome.In this prospective,...
Implantation of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is crucial therapeutic option for selected end-stage heart failure patients. However, major bleeding (MB) complications postimplantation are significant concern.
Abstract Background Little is known about differences in clinical phenotype between men and women with atrial fibrillation (AF). Our aim was to explore phenotypical sex at diagnosis one-year follow-up, patients early AF. Methods We used data from 5,469 participants of the DUTCH-AF registry; a nationwide prospective registry AF or flutter (diagnosis ≤ 6 months before inclusion) Netherlands, aged ≥ 18 years. describe including following outcomes: i) ischemic bleeding events, ii) all-cause...
<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Electronic learning (e-learning) in postgraduate medical education has seen a rapid evolution; however, we tend to evaluate it only on its primary outcome or aim, whereas effectiveness also depends instructional design. We believe is important have an overview of all the methods currently used e-learning design so that preferred method may be identified and next steps needed continue outlined. </sec> <title>OBJECTIVE</title> This study aimed identify compare...
