    RESPONSE TO THE LETTER TO THE EDITOR REGARDING "HEALTH ECONOMIC EVALUATION OF MICROPROCESSOR AND NON-MICROPROCESSOR-CONTROLLED PROSTHETIC KNEES"

    No full text
    We responded to comments by Brüggenjürgen et al. (https://doi.org/10.33137/cpoj.v8i2.46339) regarding our study on cost-effectiveness of different prosthesis types (https://doi.org/10.33137/cpoj.v8i2.45823). We explained why small effect differences lead to high ICUR values and clarify our costing approach. We emphasized the need for future studies on prosthesis life-cycle, long-term outcomes, and improved quality-of-life measures for more accurate evaluations.

    This part presents a collection of the most important publications by Henk F. Moed. This collection characterises the author as a researcher personality with a broad spectrum of activities and a multifaceted research profile. As Henk Moed has contributed to the advancement of the field in many topics, an overview of the development of his career is, to a considerable extent, also a survey of the research field. We grouped his publications into seven topics in the field at the intersection of bibliometrics, informetrics, science studies and research assessment. The main topics are the following

    Management of gestational hypertension and mild pre-eclampsia at term

    Full text link
    Zwangerschapshypertensie en preëclampsie compliceren 6-8% van alle zwangerschappen en vormen in Nederland de belangrijkste oorzaak van maternale morbiditeit en mortaliteit. Vaak is het ziektebeeld mild en treedt op in de aterme periode. Soms ontstaan ernstige complicaties, zoals eclampsie, abruptio placentae of het HELLP-syndroom. Wereldwijd was er tot nu toe geen overeenstemming over het beste beleid bij deze aandoeningen. Inleiding van de baring zou enerzijds maternale complicaties kunnen reduceren, maar anderzijds de kans op een sectio caesarea kunnen verhogen. Het eerste deel van dit proefschrift beschrijft een multicentrisch gerandomiseerde klinische studie (HYPITAT trial (HYpertension and Pre-eclampsia Intervention Trial At Term)), uitgevoerd binnen het Verloskundige Consortium (www.studies-obsgyn.nl/hypitat). Wij onderzochten wat beter is voor vrouwen met een milde zwangerschapsgerelateerde aterme hypertensie: inleiden of afwachten, met het oog op klinische effectiviteit, maternale kwaliteit van leven en kosten. Deze studie werd uitgevoerd in 38 Nederlandse ziekenhuizen. In totaal werden 756 vrouwen gerandomiseerd voor inleiden (n=377) of afwachten (n=379). De resultaten wijzen uit dat inleiden de kans op maternale complicaties verkleint (31% versus 44%; RR 0.71; p<0.001), inleiden een tendens laat zien van minder sectio caesarea (14% versus 19%; RR0.75; p=0.085) en inleiden gemiddeld 831 euro per patiënt goedkoper is dan afwachten. De neonatale uitkomst en de maternale kwaliteit van leven is gelijk tussen beide strategieën. Daarom adviseren wij een inleiding van de baring bij vrouwen met een zwangerschapshypertensie of milde preëclampsie na 37 weken zwangerschap. Het tweede gedeelte van dit proefschrift beschrijft welke factoren een slechte maternale uitkomst bij vrouwen met een aterme zwangerschapshypertensie of milde preëclampsie kunnen voorspellen. Voor deze studies hebben wij gebruik van de HYPITAT database.

    Syntax of Dutch: Adjectives and Adjective Phrases

    No full text
    The Syntax of Dutch will be published in at least seven volumes in the period 2012-2016 and aims at presenting a synthesis of the currently available syntactic knowledge of Dutch. It is primarily concerned with language description and not with linguistic theory, and provides support to all researchers interested in matters relating to the syntax of Dutch, including advanced students of language and linguistics. The volume Adjectives and Adjective Phrases discusses the internal make-up as well as the distribution of adjective phrases. Topics that will be covered include: complementation and modification of adjective phrases; comparative and superlative formation; the attributive, predicative and adverbial uses of adjective phrases. Special attention is paid to the so-called partitive genitive construction and the adverbial use of past/passive participles and infinitives

    Effect and Improvement Areas for Port State Control Inspections to Decrease the Probability of Casualty

    Full text link
    This report is the fourth part of a PhD project called "The Econometrics of Maritime Safety – Recommendations to Enhance Safety at Sea" and is based on 183,000 port state control inspections and 11,700 casualties from various data sources. Its overall objective is to provide recommendations to improve safety at sea. The fourth part looks into measuring the effect of inspections on the probability of casualty on either seriousness or casualty first event to show the differences across the regimes. It further gives a link of casualties that were found during inspections with either the seriousness of casualties and casualty first events which reveals three areas of improvement possibilities to potentially decrease the probability of a casualty – the ISM code, machinery and equipment and ship and cargo operations.maritime safety;correspondence analysis;binary logistic regression;probability of casualty;improvement;Port State Control Effectiveness;casualty first events;detention;port state control deficiences;target factor
