Validation of a Belgian Prediction Model for Patient Encounters at Belgium's Largest Public Cultural Mass Gathering Vrije Universiteit Brussel
OBJECTIVE: To compare actual patient presentation rates from Belgium's largest public open-air cultural festival with predictions provided by existing models and the Belgian Plan Risk Manifestations model.
METHODS: Retrospectively, actual patient presentation rates gathered from the Ghent Festivities (Belgium) during 2013-2019 were compared to predicted patient presentation rates by the Arbon, Hartman, and PRIMA models.
...The Development of PRIMA - A Belgian Prediction Model for Patient Encounters at Mass Gatherings Vrije Universiteit Brussel
INTRODUCTION: Mass gatherings (MGs) grow in frequency around the world. With the intrinsic potential for significant health risks for all involved, MGs pose a challenge for those responsible for the provision of on-site medical care. Belgian law obliges local governments to identify and analyze the risks involving a MG. Though medical risk factors are long known, all too often, resourcing for in-event health services is based on anecdotal and ...

Prediction of postoperative mortality in elderly patient with hip fractures Vrije Universiteit Brussel
BACKGROUND: Elderly patients are at high risk for postoperative complications and increased mortality after hip fracture (HF) surgery due to frailty and co-morbidities. The prediction of postoperative outcome could be used for clinical decision making. A reliable score to predict postoperative mortality after HF surgery in this sub-population remains unavailable.
METHODS: A single-centre retrospective cohort study was performed in 782 ...
Added value of patient and drug related factors to stratify drug-drug interaction alerts for risk of QT prolongation Vrije Universiteit Brussel Universiteit Antwerpen
Aims: Many clinical decision support systems trigger warning alerts for drug-drug interactions potentially leading to QT prolongation and torsades de pointes (QT-DDIs). Unfortunately, there is overalerting and underalerting because stratification is only based on a fixed QT-DDI severity level. We aimed to improve QT-DDI alerting by developing and validating a risk prediction model considering patient- and drug-related factors. Methods: We ...
Validation of a Belgian Prediction Model for Patient Encounters at Football Mass Gatherings Vrije Universiteit Brussel
BACKGROUND: To validate the Belgian Plan Risk Manifestations (PRIMA) model, actual patient presentation rates (PPRs) from Belgium's largest football stadium were compared with predictions provided by existing models and the Belgian PRIMA model.
METHODS: Actual patient presentations gathered from 41 football games (2010-2019) played at the King Baudouin Stadium (Brussels, Belgium) were compared with predictions by existing models and ...
