Introducing a novel "real-time" outbreak alert and notification system to monitor SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks and case fatality in elderly care facilities, the Netherlands, 2020-2022.

Surveillance systems collating individual-level data may limit timely information sharing during rapidly evolving, infectious disease outbreaks. We present a digital outbreak alert and notification system () in which institutional-level data are reported, allowing real-time outbreak monitoring in elderly care facilities (ECF). We describe trends in the number of outbreaks, mean case number per outbreak, and case-fatality rate (deaths/recovered + deaths) of SARS-CoV-2 in ECF notified through in the Rotterdam area (April 2020-March 2022).

Early outcome after sirolimus-eluting stent implantation in patients with acute coronary syndromes: insights from the Rapamycin-Eluting Stent Evaluated At Rotterdam Cardiology Hospital (RESEARCH) registry.

Objectives: This study evaluated the early outcomes of patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) treated with sirolimus-eluting stents (SES).

Background: The safety of SES implantation in patients with a high risk for early thrombotic complications is currently unknown.

Methods: Sirolimus-eluting stents have been utilized as the device of choice for all percutaneous procedures in our institution, as part of the Rapamycin-Eluting Stent Evaluated At Rotterdam Cardiology Hospital (RESEARCH) registry.
