Cost Effectiveness of Rectal Culture-based Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Transrectal Prostate Biopsy: The Results from a Randomized, Nonblinded, Multicenter Trial
Tops S, Kolwijck E, Koldewijn E, Somford D, Delaere F, van Leeuwen M, et al.
Eur Urol Open Sci . 2023 Apr; 50:70-77. PMID: 37101774
Background: Culture-based antibiotic prophylaxis is a plausible strategy to reduce infections after transrectal prostate biopsy (PB) related to fluoroquinolone-resistant pathogens. Objective: To assess the cost effectiveness of rectal culture-based prophylaxis...

[A new definition of the I-category in the antibiogram: I-category antibiotics no longer an option to avoid]
Franssens B, van den Bijllaardt W, Melles D
Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd . 2023 Jan; 166. PMID: 36633083
Currently, the meaning of the I-category of the antibiogram in culture results is changing in The Netherlands. Before, the I-category was called 'intermediate' and included combinations of antibiotics and micro-organisms...

Head-to-head comparison of the accuracy of saliva and nasal rapid antigen SARS-CoV-2 self-testing: cross-sectional study
Schuit E, Venekamp R, Veldhuijzen I, van den Bijllaardt W, Pas S, Stohr J, et al.
BMC Med . 2022 Oct; 20(1):406. PMID: 36280827
Background: The diagnostic accuracy of unsupervised self-testing with rapid antigen diagnostic tests (Ag-RDTs) is mostly unknown. We studied the diagnostic accuracy of a self-performed SARS-CoV-2 saliva and nasal Ag-RDT in...
