Building a Foundation for High-Quality Health Data: Multihospital Case Study in Belgium

Belgium, already a major hub for clinical trials in Europe [4], is enhancing its reputation through the Real-World Data for Belgium [5] initiative, which collaborates with stakeholders to improve health care by reusing patient data for both primary and secondary purposes. However, among these initiatives and opportunities that the evolving health care landscape presents, the quality of health data is imperative.

Development and Evaluation of an HIV-Testing Intervention for Primary Care: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study

Development and Evaluation of an HIV-Testing Intervention for Primary Care: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study

Modeling results obtained using a back-calculation method [5] for Belgium indicate that almost 2818 people living with HIV remained undiagnosed in 2015, corresponding to a prevalence rate of 4.1 undiagnosed persons per 10,000 [6]. The most affected populations were non-Belgian MSM (almost 264 undiagnosed persons per 10,000), SAMs with a higher proportion among women (about 173 per 10,000) than among men (about 93 per 10,000), and Belgian MSM (about 55 per 10,000) [6].

Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) as an Additional Tool for HIV Prevention Among Men Who Have Sex With Men in Belgium: The Be-PrEP-ared Study Protocol

Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) as an Additional Tool for HIV Prevention Among Men Who Have Sex With Men in Belgium: The Be-PrEP-ared Study Protocol

The number of MSM in Belgium is estimated to be around 106,000, which is 4.2% of the total male population [14]. As in many western European countries, MSM represent a high-risk population for both HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including gonorrhea, syphilis, and chlamydia infection. In 2013, 61% of all registered STIs in men in Belgium were reported among MSM (sentinel surveillance) [15].
