Hip involvement in ankylosing spondylitis: epidemiology and risk factors associated with hip replacement surgery. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Although clinicians recognize hip involvement, which frequently leads to hip replacement surgery, as an important feature of AS, data on the epidemiology, nature of the disease and therapeutic strategies are scarce. We aimed to describe the epidemiology of clinical and radiological hip involvement and define the risk factors for the hip replacement surgery in AS patients.
METHODS:
Data from 3 ...

Bridging research integrity and global health epidemiology (BRIDGE) guidelines: explanation and elaboration Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Over the past decade, two movements have profoundly changed the environment in which global health epidemiologists work: research integrity and research fairness. Both ought to be equally nurtured by global health epidemiologists who aim to produce high quality impactful research. Yet bridging between these two aspirations can lead to practical and ethical dilemmas. In the light of these reflections we have proposed the BRIDGE guidelines for ...

Chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration-derived glomerular filtration rate performs better at detecting preclinical end-organ changes than alternative equations in black Africans Vrije Universiteit Brussel
AIM: To identify whether the more recently developed equation for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) [Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI)] is more closely associated with end-organ changes than previous equations in a group of black African descent.
METHODS: In 1221 randomly recruited participants of black African ancestry in South Africa, we evaluated serum creatinine concentrations, echocardiographic ...
