Efficacy measures associated to a plantar pressure based classification system in diabetic foot medicine KU Leuven
AIMS: The concept of 'classification' has, similar to many other diseases, been found to be fundamental in the field of diabetic medicine. In the current study, we aimed at determining efficacy measures of a recently published plantar pressure based classification system. METHODS: Technical efficacy of the classification system was investigated by applying a high resolution, pixel-level analysis on the normalized plantar pressure pedobarographic ...
Efficiency, efficacy and subjective user satisfaction of alternative laboratory report formats. An investigation on behalf of the Working Group for Postanalytical Phase (WG-POST), of the European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (E KU Leuven
OBJECTIVES: Although laboratory result presentation may lead to information overload and subsequent missed or delayed diagnosis, little has been done in the past to improve this post-analytical issue. We aimed to investigate the efficiency, efficacy and user satisfaction of alternative report formats.

Guideline-directed medical therapies for heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction in older adults : a narrative review on efficacy, safety and timeliness Ghent University KU Leuven
Heart failure is a prevalent syndrome among older adults with a major impact on morbidity and mortality. Higher age is correlated with underuse of guideline-directed medical therapies which in turn has been linked to worse clinical outcomes. Importantly, most evidence so far has been collected in adults who were younger, less multimorbid and polymedicated compared to those who are commonly treated in daily clinical practice. Hence, we aimed to ...
Efficacy and safety of medical and nutritional management of gastroesophageal reflux in formula-fed infants Vrije Universiteit Brussel
