- Dialysis and kidney transplant patients were the most vulnerable during the COVID-19 pandemic. The effects of COVID-19 measures on the health of these patients will be investigated. The influence of factors as age, gender, family composition, education level and work situation are taken into account. We also look back at how the measures have been experienced by patients. This insight can lead to…

And even after the pandemic, it remained a challenge for people with ID to participate in activities again. Or to see other people. The question is…
- COVID-19 measures, such as lockdowns, reduced the spread of non-COVID respiratory infections, which are linked to the development of neurological autoimmune diseases like narcolepsy, multiple sclerosis, and Guillain-Barré syndrome. LUMC, Amsterdam UMC, and Sleep-Wake Center SEIN will investigate whether COVID-19 measures reduced the number of new autoimmune disease cases. The societal effects of…
- Populations with a migration background and lower educational/occupational groups were more vulnerable to negative changes related to mental health, income, healthy behavior (i.e. diet, tobacco, alcohol use) and access to non-COVID-19 healthcare during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. These populations were also at increased risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and severe COVID-19 outcomes…
