Aims: Knowledge about adverse drug events caused by drug-drug interactions (DDI-ADEs) is limited. We aimed to provide detailed insights about DDI-ADEs related to three frequent, high-risk potential DDIs (pDDIs) in the critical care setting: pDDIs with international normalized ratio increase (INR ) potential, pDDIs with acute kidney injury (AKI) potential, and pDDIs with QTc prolongation potential.

Methods: We extracted routinely collected retrospective data from electronic health records of intensive care units (ICUs) patients (≥18 years), admitted to ten hospitals in the Netherlands between January 2010 and September 2019.

Unlabelled: Despite high mortality rates of COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA) in the ICU, antifungal prophylaxis remains a subject of debate. We initiated nebulized conventional amphotericin B (c-AmB) as antifungal prophylaxis in COVID-19 patients on invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV).

Objectives: To assess the CAPA incidence in COVID-19 patients on IMV treated with and without nebulized c-AmB as antifungal prophylaxis.

Background: Uroflowmetry and ultrasound scanning of the post-void residual volume are diagnostic instruments in specialist urological care of men referred with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). We hypothesized that implementing uroflowmetry and post-void ultrasound bladder scanning in primary care for men with LUTS will reduce the number of referrals to urologists.

Objective: To assess the effect on referrals to urologists for new male patients over 50 years of age with LUTS when performing uroflowmetry and post-void ultrasound bladder scanning in primary care.

Question: The context for the implementation of evidence-based psychological treatments (EBPTs) often differs from the context in which the treatment was developed, which necessitates adaptations. In this systematic review we build on, and add to, prior approaches by examining the method used to guide such adaptations. In particular, we sought to elucidate the extent to which an empirical process is used.

Background: Lower urinary tract symptom (LUTS) is a common condition in older men. In accordance with the Dutch College of General Practitioners Guideline "Micturition symptoms in men", the diagnosis can be made based on a patient's medical history and a physical examination. GPs lack additional tools in primary care to assess the residual urine volume.
