The aim of this project is to evaluate the clinical value of biomarkers in adult patients with pulmonary hypertension, in particular:1) To quantify biomarkers of neurohormonal activity as NTproBNP, endotheline-1 and of immunological activity as CRP…
Rationale: Approximately, 10-20% of older adult patients present with non-specific complaints (NSCs) at the emergency department (ED). NSCs are known as poorly described symptoms, such as ‘weakness’ and ‘fatigue’, often leading to an extensive…
By providing patients reliable information and daily checklists via an app, we aim to give the patient a tool to be involved in the management of the catheter use. In this way, inappropriate use should be better signaled and discouraged, and the…
Most patients undergoing spine surgery with pedicle screw instrumentation will experience insufficient pain relief in the first three days after surgery, whereafter postoperative pain can be managed with conventional, non-opioid analgesics in most…
To determine the waste reduction, net cost savings and environmental impact attained by redispensing oral anticancer drugs that go unused by patients compared with the standard practice of disposal.
Objective The objective of this study is to assess which risk scoring model is most cost-effective for the discrimination between benign and malignant ovarian tumors that guides referral decisions for women with ovarian tumors in the Netherlands…
Point of care testing with Fcal POCT will reduce substantial the referral rate of children with chronic GI symptoms to the paediatrician.
The study will address the feasibility of the shared decision-making (SDM) intervention by (1) analysing the acceptability of the intervention by users (i.e. professionals and patients); (2) assessing the level of implementation; (3) testing…
REE will be assessed using indirect calorimetry. Oxygen consumption (VO₂) and carbon dioxide production (VCO₂) will be measured. The respiratory quotient (RQ) will be derived from VO₂ and VCO₂. Body composition will be determined by…
Hypotheses are that the long-term supervision of the CooL intervention will be related to beneficial changes in the participants¡¯ energy-balance related behaviours, body composition, and quality of life. Besides, the goal of the intervention is to…
The standard-of-care sentinel lymph node (SLN) procedure in paediatric cancer patients consists of a preoperative intradermal injection with 99mTechnetium-nanocolloid as radiotracer in combination with an intraoperative injection of blue dye for…
Comparison of hearing preservation and outcome of two fundamentally different cochlear implants designs (LW or PM) and the two most used surgical approaches (RW or CO). Secondly, asses the structure preservation (i.e., scalar position) of each…
Development of new imaging techniques for MR-guided motion management in the presence of respiratory motion
This study is designed to gather prospective data on a) the clinical effectiveness, b) the tissue structure changes, and c) the short term costs of ankle joint distraction (AJD) in 10 patients with HAA during 10 years follow-up.
Establishing efficacy and safety of the electrodes and implantable pulse generators (IPGs), which are used for deep brain stimulation (DBS) in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
Objective: This protocol describes a framework that will be used to create different studies. The general primary and secondary objectives of this protocol are stated below:Primary objective: Investigate the effect of surgery on the position and…
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of two distalisation techniques of a gastric bypass in revisional surgery with standardised limb lengths in total weight loss (TWL) and the need for treatment for protein calorie malnutrition (PCM…
To evaluate whether we can determine the health status of the joint by measuring biomarker levels using a newly developed assay by the University of Twente based on the multiplex measurement of a panel of relevant biomarkers using Surface Plasmon…
Primary Objective: 1. To compare total testosterone levels between male CCH and ECH patients and healthy controls To compare total testosterone levels in males with ECH during remission (remission ECH) and during an active…
The primary objective of this clinical Research is: • The objective of the study is to investigate concept and feasibility of view automation for SHD interventions. The study will explore the contribution of (semi) automatic views based procedural…
