Dynamic risk prediction to reduce central line-associated bloodstream infections using electronic health records KU Leuven
Central line-associated blood stream infections (CLABSI) cause prolonged hospital stays, morbidity, and cost. We envisage an actionable trigger-based warning system that helps to reduce the incidence of CLABSI, and its negative impact on patients. We will develop a dynamic risk model that estimates CLABSI risk at any moment, using baseline characteristics at catheter placement and later observations during the patient stay (eg parenteral ...

Mesh-surveillance na het in de handel brengen en geautomatiseerde voorspellingĀ van de uitkomst van ventrale herniachirurgie in 3 Europese landen KU Leuven
Background: Apart from data from RCTs, registry data are an important source for outcome measurement after surgical treatment. This is also true in hernia surgery, especially with the implementation of the European Medical Device Regulation in May 2021 and increased public awareness about possible deleterious outcomes of the use of some medical devices (breast implants, pelvic floor devicesā¦). High quality registers may offer some important ...
De rol van een keuzehulp in de ondersteuning van shared decision making in de eerste lijn KU Leuven
More than a decade ago, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) envisioned that by now, the vast majority of healthcare related decisions and choices would be supported by accurate, up-to-date and timely information. This goal was part of a larger aim to promote evidence-based healthcare across the country. To enable this vision, learning health systems were suggested as a substrate to disseminate and implement this information or evidence. Clinical ...
The incidence and risk factors of mortality associated with HIV and TB infections in Kenya Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Patiƫnten en verzorgers verbinden met behulp van draagbare sensortechnologie KU Leuven
Safest, reliable, individualised care of patients at-risk of deterioration needs patients themselves to play an active role in their care whenever possible: late detection or escalation of deterioration causes avoidable harms, and deaths. In this project we will challenge industry to develop robust monitoring and communications systems that connect patients, carers and health professionals, provide early warning of acute deterioration in and ...
Gestroomlijnde geriatrische en oncologische evaluatie op basis van IC-technologie voor holistisch patiƫntgericht zorgbeheer voor oudere multimorbide patiƫnten KU Leuven
Population is aging and the number of complex multimorbid patients to manage will increase sharply. Disease-centred approach is not appropriate to manage these patients. Change to a patient-centred approach will simplify care pathways, secure management and treatment decision making and decrease healthcare costs. It will be a real breakthrough for daily practice with multiple impacts that must be quantified. GERONTE multimorbid ...
