van Gils, R.H.J. (author), Wauben, L.S.G.L. (author), Helder, Onno K. (author)Introduction Growth monitoring of preterm infants is essential for assessing the nutritional effects on their growth. The current growth monitoring techniques are too stressful, however, for the smallest preterm infants. We performed a systematic review to summarize studies on stress-free techniques for measuring the body size of preterm...review 2022

Robertson, P.D. (author), Gnanaraj, Jesudian (author), Wauben, L.S.G.L. (author), Huijs, Jan (author), Samuel, Vasanth Mark (author), Dankelman, J. (author), Horeman, T. (author)Background: Laparoscopy is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure that uses long slender instruments that require much smaller incisions than conventional surgery. This leads to faster recovery times, fewer post-surgical wound infections and shorter hospital stays. For these reasons, laparoscopy could be particularly advantageous to patients...journal article 2021

Dekker-Van Doorn, Connie (author), Wauben, L.S.G.L. (author), Van Wijngaarden, Jeroen (author), Lange, Johan (author), Huijsman, Robbert (author)Background: Most interventions to improve patient safety (Patient Safety Practices (PSPs)), are introduced without engaging front-line professionals. Administrative staff, managers and sometimes a few professionals, representing only one or two disciplines, decide what to change and how. Consequently, PSPs are not fully adapted to the...journal article 2020

(author)In 2010 ontvingen 865 Nederlanders die lijden aan chronisch nierfalen een nieuwe nier. Maar er wachten nog steeds 892 patiënten op een donornier en ongeveer 1275 dialysepatiënten sterven elk jaar. Levende-nierdonatie lijkt een geschikte optie om het donortekort te verminderen. Hierbij staat een ‘gezond’ familielid (maar soms ook een anonieme...journal article 2013
