Intraluminal Thrombus in Facilitated Versus Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention An Angiographic Substudy of the ASSENT-4 PCI (Assessment of the Safety and Efficacy of a New Treatment Strategy With Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) Trial Hasselt University KU Leuven
Objectives This study investigated the occurrence of intraluminal thrombus and its potential implications with facilitated percutaneous coronary interventions (fPCIs). Background The effect of fPCI on the presence and consequences of intraluminal thrombus is unknown. Methods Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow grade, frame count, and thrombus grade; distal embolization; and slow flow in the infarct-related artery were assessed in a ...
Supporting employers to enhance the return to work of cancer survivors: development of a web-based intervention (MiLES intervention) KU Leuven
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to develop an intervention targeting employers, with the aim of enhancing cancer survivors' return to work (RTW). METHODS: Intervention Mapping was used to combine information gathered from several procedures involving numerous stakeholders, for example, employers, cancer survivors, oncological occupational physicians, and e-health experts. RESULTS: Employers indicated that they require tailored support ...
Developing social capital in implementing a complex intervention: a process evaluation of the early implementation of a suicide prevention intervention in four European countries KU Leuven
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Variation in the implementation of complex multilevel interventions can impact on their delivery and outcomes. Few suicide prevention interventions, especially multilevel interventions, have included evaluation of both the process of implementation as well as outcomes. Such evaluation is essential for the replication of interventions, for interpreting and understanding outcomes, and for improving implementation science. ...
Effect of Adherence-enhancing Interventions on Adherence to Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Treatment in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (TAKE-IT): A Quasi-experimental Pree-Post Intervention Multicenter Pilot Study KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: Nonadherence to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) has been associated with inferior outcomes. Scarce evidence exists on the effectiveness of adherence-enhancing interventions. The present pilot study evaluated the feasibility and effectiveness of an intervention to improve TKI adherence in adult CML patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Using a quasi-experimental pre-post intervention design, we included a ...
Smartphone-delivered ecological momentary interventions based on ecological momentary assessments to promote health behaviors : systematic review and adapted checklist for reporting ecological momentary assessment and intervention studies Ghent University
Background: Healthy behaviors are crucial for maintaining a person's health and well-being. The effects of health behavior interventions are mediated by individual and contextual factors that vary over time. Recently emerging smartphone-based ecological momentary interventions (EMIs) can use real-time user reports (ecological momentary assessments [EMAs]) to trigger appropriate support when needed in daily life. Objective: This systematic review ...
Community embedded reproductive health interventions for adolescents in Latin America: development and evaluation of a complex multi-centre intervention Ghent University
Exploring synergistic interactions and catalysts in complex interventions: longitudinal, mixed methods case studies of an optimised multi-level suicide prevention intervention in four european countries (Ospi-Europe) KU Leuven
Background The Medical Research Council (MRC) Framework for complex interventions highlights the need to explore interactions between components of complex interventions, but this has not yet been fully explored within complex, non-pharmacological interventions. This paper draws on the process evaluation data of a suicide prevention programme implemented in four European countries to illustrate the synergistic interactions between intervention ...
