The hypothesis is that patients with low anti-TNF drug levels have a higher risk of loss-of-response to anti-TNF drugs compared to patients with high anti-TNF drug levels.
We hypothesize that an evidence based diagnostic algorithm, using fewer and preferably the least invasive diagnostic modalities can approach the accuracy of the complete panel of diagnostic tests.
Breast cancer is the most common type of female cancer worldwide. Early detection has proven to have a positive influence on the prognosis and survival rate. An important aid in the detection and diagnosis of breast cancer is the use of medical…
It is the aim of this study to establish an integrated risk profile including clinical risk factors, AF recurrence patterns, anatomical and electrophysiological characteristics, circulating biomarkers and individual genetic background, to predict…
fetal heart deformation and its development throughout pregnancy can be measured by speckle tracking. Fetal heart deformation might be different in pregnancies complicated by placental dysfunction.
We hypothesize that medical nutrition (PN and EN) compared with no medical nutrition (only oral nutrition) will be associated with better maintenance of nutritional status (fat- and fat free (muscle) mass and body weight), functional capacity,…
There is no relationship between the duration of the procedure under PSA and the incidence of atelectasis and/or respiratory symptoms.
The COL3A1 polymorphism is a inheritable genetic defect, responsible for the increased susceptibility to pelvic organ prolapse in women.
1. Prosthetic valve characteristics (type; location; size resulting in the presence/absence of PPM) are related to functional outcome and quality of life; 2. The incidence/spectrum of prosthetic valve-related complications in adults with CHD differs…
We hypothesize that in current dermatological practice, there is a undisclosed burden of psoriatic arthritis in psoriasis patients. We wish to discover the prevalence of known and unknown arthritis in these patients, and find clinical and…
Patients who undergo aortoiliac surgery for occlusive disease have higher rates of SSI compared to aneurysmal disease.
We aim to test the accuracy of Western gastroenterologists in differentiating T1 CRCs from its precursor lesions and subsequently in estimating invasion depth
We hypothesize that by using different imaging techniques, we can give a good characterization of the bone marrow microenvironment in advanced-stage myelofibrosis, before and during treatment with ruxolitinib.
We expect the protein synthesis rate in (avascular) femoral bone proximal to the fracture to be lower when compared to healthy femoral bone.
To determine the epidemiology, diagnosis and prognosis of enterovirus (EV) and parechovirus (HPeV) infection in Dutch children. Hypotheses: 1. EVs are one of the most important viral agents of infection in Dutch children; 2. EVs are the major cause…
Postoperative change in deltoid volume following reverse shoulder arthroplasty is related to functional outcome
With implementation of the AWR we expect a reduction in the total amount of radiographs requested, without missing any clinical relevant fractures. We also expect a reduction in overall waiting times at the ED and a total amount of cost savings…
Fatigue affects central nervous system function and, in the setting of the medical profession, could influence specialist performance, patient care and safety. ln contrast to other industries, for example the aviation industry, there are no "…
