Dysfunctional Voiding: Exploring Disease Transition From Childhood to Adulthood.

Objective: To improve our transitional care, we explored how childhood dysfunctional voiding (DV) develops into adulthood. DV is a common condition in both children and adults. However, the long-term course of childhood DV into adulthood is unknown and treatment over the ages differs.

Younger age and female gender are determinants of underestimated cardiovascular risk in rheumatoid arthritis patients: a prospective cohort study.

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients have an increased cardiovascular (CV) risk. Here, we aimed to investigate whether gender and age are contributing to the misclassification of CV risk in RA patients.

Methods: Prospectively collected data on cardiovascular risk factors and incident events from the Nijmegen inception cohort were analyzed, with up to 10 years follow-up.
