Terluin, B. (author), Eekhout, I. (author), Terwee, C.B. (author)Objectives: The anchor-based minimal important change (MIC), based on the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis or predictive modeling, is biased by the proportion of improved patients. The adjusted MIC, published in 2017, adjusts the predictive MIC for this bias but does not take the reliability of the transition ratings (i.e., the...article 2022

Detterer, P. (author), Nabi, M. (author), Jiao, H. (author), Basten, T. (author)The energy efficiency of an Internet of Things (IoT) receiver can be improved by introducing an adjustable tradeoff between signal quality and energy consumption. In good channel conditions, the receiver can be set to consume less energy per bit, without compromising signal quality in bad channel conditions. We propose a system-level receiver...article 2022

Detterer, P. (author), Nabi, M. (author), Jiao, H. (author), Basten, A.A. (author)To increase energy efficiency of receiver-dominated nodes in IoT networks, we introduce Receiver-Sensitivity Control (RSC). RSC enables a trade-off between communication range and reception efforts. This trade-off is achieved through multiple receiver-sensitivity levels that can be adjusted at run time. The receiver can operate on lower...article 2021

(author)Automatic detection and tracking of maritime targets in imagery can greatly increase situation awareness on naval vessels. Various methods for detection and tracking have been proposed so far, both for reasoning as well as for learning approaches. Learning approaches have the promise to outperform reasoning approaches. They typically detect...conference paper 2019

(author)Purpose This study examined who benefits most from a cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)-based intervention that aims to enhance return to work (RTW) among employees who are absent due to common mental disorders (CMDs) (e.g., depression, anxiety, or adjustment disorder). We researched the influence of baseline work-related self-efficacy and...article 2019

Klein Velderman, M. (author), Pannebakker, F.D. (author), van Vliet, W. (author), Reijneveld, S.A. (author)Objective: Parental divorce has strong impacts on children. Evidence-based programs to support young children after parental divorce are rare. The U.S.-developed Children of Divorce Intervention Program (CODIP) is one of these. CODIP’s effectiveness outside the U.S. setting is to be further replicated. This study aimed at cultural adaptation of...article 2018

Rowen, D. (author), Mulhem, B. (author), Stevens, K. (author), Vermaire, J.H. (author)Objective This article presents the development of the Dutch value set for the Child Health Utility 9D, a pediatric preference-based measure of quality of life that can be used to generate quality-adjusted life-years. Methods A large online survey was conducted using a discrete choice experiment including a duration attribute with adult members...article 2018

Terluin, B. (author), Eekhout, I. (author), Terwee, C.B. (author)Objectives. Patients have their individual minimal important changes (iMICs) as their personal benchmarks to determine whether a perceived health-related quality of life (HRQOL) change constitutes a (minimally) important change for them. We denote the mean iMIC in a group of patients as the “genuine MIC” (gMIC). The aims of this paper are to...article 2017

(author)Background: Green house gas (GHG) mitigation policies can be evaluated by showing their co-benefits to health. Method: Health Impact Assessment (HIA) was used to quantify co-benefits of GHG mitigation policies in Rotterdam. The effects of two separate interventions (10% reduction of private vehicle kilometers and a share of 50% electric-powered...article 2016

(author), Yntema, J.B. (author)BACKGROUND: Previous cost-effectiveness studies using data from the literature showed that newborn screening for cystic fibrosis (NBSCF) is a good economic option with positive health effects and longer survival. METHODS: We used primary data to compare cost-effectiveness of four screening strategies for NBSCF, i.e. immunoreactive trypsinogen...article 2015

ter Burg, W. (author), Bokkers, B.G.H. (author), Kroese, E.D. (author), Schuur, A.G. (author)ABSTRACT: Health impact assessments (HIA) have become an important tool for applying evidence-based policy. Recently, the concept of HIA has been introduced in the field of chemical substances. Two main issues are encountered, i.e., the focus of risk assessment is deriving safe levels and on first signs of adverse effects. These adverse effects,...article 2015
