Outcome of Surgical or Endovascular Treatment of Giant Intracranial Aneurysms, with Emphasis on Age, Aneurysm Location, and Unruptured Aneuryms--A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Vrije Universiteit Brussel
BACKGROUND: Designing treatment strategies for unruptured giant intracranial aneurysms (GIA) is difficult as evidence of large clinical trials is lacking. We examined the outcome following surgical or endovascular GIA treatment focusing on patient age, GIA location and unruptured GIA.
METHODS: Medline and Embase were searched for studies reporting on GIA treatment outcome published after January 2000. We calculated the proportion of ...
Safety and Outcome of Revascularization Treatment in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke and COVID-19 Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: COVID-19-related inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and coagulopathy may increase the bleeding risk and lower the efficacy of revascularization treatments in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). We aimed to evaluate the safety and outcomes of revascularization treatments in patients with AIS and COVID-19.
METHODS: This was a retrospective multicenter cohort study of consecutive patients with AIS ...
Specific gyrA gene mutations predict poor treatment outcome in MDR-TB Institute of Tropical Medicine University of Antwerp
OBJECTIVES: Mutations in the gyrase genes cause fluoroquinolone resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, the predictive value of these markers for clinical outcomes in patients with MDR-TB is unknown to date. The objective of this study was to determine molecular markers and breakpoints predicting second-line treatment outcomes in M. tuberculosis patients treated with fourth-generation fluoroquinolones.
METHODS: We analysed ...
Functional outcome and general health status after treatment of AO type 43 distal tibial fractures Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
