Mokkink, L.B. (author), de Vet, H. (author), Diemeer, S. (author), Eekhout, I. (author)Simulation studies were performed to investigate for which conditions of sample size of patients (n) and number of repeated measurements (k) (e.g., raters) the optimal (i.e., balance between precise and efficient) estimations of intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and standard error of measurements (SEMs) can be achieved. Subsequently, we...article 2022

(author)Proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibits the clearance of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (LDL-C) from plasma by directly binding with the LDL receptor (LDLR) and sending the receptor for lysosomal degradation. As the interaction promotes elevated plasma LDL-C levels, and therefore a predisposition to...article 2022

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

Austin, P.C. (author), van Buuren, S. (author)Background: Multiple imputation is frequently used to address missing data when conducting statistical analyses. There is a paucity of research into the performance of multiple imputation when the prevalence of missing data is very high. Our objective was to assess the performance of multiple imputation when estimating a logistic regression...article 2022

Brink, H.M.T. (author), Hitzenberger, R. (author), Keuken, M. (author)Elemental Carbon (EC) is a good indicator for aerosol air quality and a main component in global warming; therefore data on its historic concentration would be highly valuable for an assessment of historic levels. There were already major sources of EC in Europe in the early 20th century, but the component has only been measured since the late...article 2021
