TL;DR: The cluster crossover design efficiently tested clinical effectiveness of incremental antibiotics to reduce device infection and the observed difference in infection rates was not statistically significant.

TL;DR: This study identified 5 independent predictors of device infection and developed a novel infection risk score in the largest cardiac implantable electronic device trial to date, warranting validation in an independent cohort.
Journal ArticleDOI
Attrition and Adherence in a Web-Based Distress Management Program for Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Patients (WEBCARE): Randomized Controlled Trial
Mirela Habibović,Pim Cuijpers,Marco Alings,Pepijn H. van der Voort,Dominic A.M.J. Theuns,Leon H.R. Bouwels,Jean-Paul R. Herrman,Suzanne D.A. Valk,Susanne S. Pedersen +8 more
TL;DR: Examining possibilities to address barriers indicated by patients might enhance treatment engagement and improve patient outcomes underline the importance of focusing on adherence and dropout, as this remains a significant problem in behavioral Web-based trials.
Journal ArticleDOI
E-health to manage distress in patients with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator: primary results of the WEBCARE trial.
Mirela Habibović,Johan Denollet,Pim Cuijpers,Viola Spek,Krista C. van den Broek,Lisanne Warmerdam,Pepijn H. van der Voort,Jean-Paul R. Herrman,Leon H.R. Bouwels,Suzanne S D Valk,Marco Alings,Dominic A.M.J. Theuns,Susanne S. Pedersen +12 more
TL;DR: In this Web-based intervention trial, no significant intervention effects on anxiety, depression, health-related quality of life, device acceptance, shock anxiety, or ICD-related concerns were observed.
