Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating the generation interval for coronavirus disease (COVID-19) based on symptom onset data, March 2020.
Tapiwa Ganyani,Cécile Kremer,Dongxuan Chen,Andrea Torneri,Andrea Torneri,Christel Faes,Jacco Wallinga,Niel Hens,Niel Hens +8 more
TL;DR: High estimates of the proportion of pre-symptomatic transmission imply that case finding and contact tracing need to be supplemented by physical distancing measures in order to control the COVID-19 outbreak.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time between symptom onset, hospitalisation and recovery or death: statistical analysis of Belgian COVID-19 patients
Christel Faes,Steven Abrams,Steven Abrams,Dominique Van Beckhoven,Geert Meyfroidt,Erika Vlieghe,Niel Hens,Niel Hens +7 more
TL;DR: The hospital LoS for patients that recover is shorter for patients living in a nursing home, but the time to death is longer for these patients, and over the course of the first wave, the LoS has decreased.

Estimating the generation interval for COVID-19 based on symptom onset data
Tapiwa Ganyani,Cécile Kremer,Dongxuan Chen,Andrea Torneri,Christel Faes,Jacco Wallinga,Niel Hens +6 more
TL;DR: Estimating generation and serial interval distributions from outbreak data requires careful investigation of the underlying transmission network, which is essential for correctly estimating these quantities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic exposure of mice to environmentally relevant, low doses of cadmium leads to early renal damage, not predicted by blood or urine cadmium levels
TL;DR: The results indicate that chronic exposure to low doses of Cd induced functional and histological signs of early damage at concentrations in or below the ones generally accepted as safe are indicated.
Journal ArticleDOI
European Surveillance of Antimicrobial Consumption (ESAC): outpatient penicillin use in Europe (1997–2009)
Ann Versporten,Samuel Coenen,Niels Adriaenssens,Arno Muller,Girma Minalu,Christel Faes,Vanessa Vankerckhoven,Marc Aerts,Niel Hens,Niel Hens,Geert Molenberghs,Geert Molenberghs,Herman Goossens +12 more
TL;DR: Penicillins represented the most widely used antibiotic subgroup in all 33 participating countries, albeit with considerable variation in their use patterns, and a continuous increase in overall penicillin use and of COP use was observed during the period 1997-2009.
