The purpose of this pilot study is to describe the changes in NK cell percentages and therefore is hypothesis generating rather than hypothesis testing
We expect to find decreased bone mineral density compared to women of the same age in the general population and subclinical sarcopenia
Medically unexplained physical symptoms (MUPS) are an important health problem in primary care, with a spectrum from mild to chronic. The burden of chronic MUPS is substantial for patients, health care professionals and society. We developed a…
Non-inferiority trial in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the new compound (recombinant human hyaluronidase or Cumulase®), effectiveness being defined by intactness after ICSI and fertilization rate.
We hypothesize that the prediction score can discriminate between low-risk and high-risk patients with moderate-good accuracy.
More optimal prediction of SCD disease severity will lead to more precise management and treatment and development of novel therapeutic options.
We aim to compare IGF-I bioactivity levels between patients with favorable and unfavorable functional outcome 3 months after acute ischemic stroke. Furthermore, we will compare the IGF-I bioactivity levels between patients with and without…
We hypothesize that induction of labour in patients with gestational hypertension, deteriorating chronic hypertension or preeclampsia between 34 and 37 weeks reduce the maternal morbidity but might increase the RDS rate in neonates, compared to…
Systematic, population-based Chlamydia Screening will be able to bring down the prevalence of infections and incidence of longterm complications, provided participation rates are sufficient.
Using Cone-Beam CT in percutaneous nephrolithotomy for detecting residual stones increases one-step stone-free rates and lowers the occurrence of stone-related events.
We hypothesize that the CPA Talking-with-children-intervention will have a beneficial effect on the mental health and quality of life of maltreated children. We expect that children who participate in the CPA investigation (CPA Talking-with-…
In the PROHTECT-3 trial, we offer hrHPV testing on self-sampled (cervico-)vaginal specimens obtained by a lavage device. The sensitivity and specificity for high grade CIN and cervical cancer (CIN2+/CIN3+) of two triage strategies of hrHPV positive…
There have been several studies that showed a possible positive effect of electrical stimulation on wound healing. One of the working principles is increasing blood flow. This could mean that by giving frequent electrical stimulation on the foot and…
1) Implementing TIPP will prevent acute emergency room (ER) visits, rehospitalisations and inappropriate referrals 2) Implementing TIPP improves transitional patient safety culture 3) Although TIPP aims at reducing transitional incidents,…
Screening causes a difference in prostate cancer mortality of 20% or more.
The following hypotheses will be examined: a. patients with multiple sclerosis who become cognitively impaired may experience an increase in pain experience (due to white matter lesions) b. hyperesthesia is known to be predictive of central…
Synflorix (PCV10) and Prevenar-13 (PCV13) are comparable in inducing cellular and humoral immune responses in Dutch infants for the 10 overlapping serotypes in the vaccines. Differences are expected for three serotypes that are present in Prevenar-…
It is expected that the urinary and serum level of intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP) and the urinary level of Claudin-3 have prognostic relevance for early identification of patients at risk for intestinal ischemia-related morbidity or…
Cap-assisted colonoscopy may improve the adenoma detection rate in CRC screening participants.
A nutrient dense infant formula promotes growth more effectively than current practice.
