Acute inflammation is defined as a CRP ≥ 10 mg/l. We will include 2 groups of participants:
A group with an inflammatory syndrome and infection; infection being defined as:
Viral infection confirmed by nasopharynx swab for: influenza, RSV, parainfluenza, rhinovirusses, coronavirusses.
Bacterial infection confirmed with positive blood culture, positive articular punction, positive expectorations, pneumonia on chest radiograph, or infection documented by abdominal imagery (CT or echo), a positive urine culture with a confirmed pyelonephritis with a renal echography or a DMSA scintigraphy or specific clinical symptoms for pyelonephritis and positive hemoculture. A positive urine culture alone is not considered as urine infection because of the high prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria in geriatric patients.

Acute inflammation is defined as a CRP ≥ 10 mg/l. We will include 2 groups of participants:
=> B) A group with inflammatory syndrome and inflammatory diseases without infection: defined as:
Confirmed pulmonary embolism (PE) by CT or ventilation-perfusion scintigraphy
Microcrystalline arthritis diagnosed by articular punction
Crush syndrome or rhabdomyolyses defined by history of a fall and raised creatine kinase in blood sample.

Change in Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM‐D). Mean HAM-D during the first 2 years after intervention minus mean HAM-D during the last 2 years before intervention.

Change in Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Mean BDI during the first 2 years after intervention minus mean BDI during the last 2 years before intervention.

Change in Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF). Mean GAF during the first 2 years after intervention minus mean GAF during the last 2 years before intervention.

Change in Stimulation amplitude as measured in volt. Mean stimulation amplitude during the first 2 years after intervention minus mean stimulation amplitude during the last 2 years before intervention.

Change in Stimulation frequency as measured in hertz Mean stimulation frequency during the first 2 years after intervention minus mean stimulation frequency during the last 2 years before intervention

Stimulation pulse width as measured in seconds. Mean stimulation pulse width during the first 2 years after intervention minus mean stimulation pulse width during the last 2 years before intervention.

Change in stimulation contact configuration as expressed in fraction of patients using a certain contact point as anode or cathode.
Fraction of patients using a certain contact point as cathode or anode during the first 2 years after intervention minus fraction of patients using a certain contact point as cathode or anode during the last 2 years before intervention.

Change in frequency of outpatient clinic contacts at the Psychiatry department. Frequency of outpatient clinic contacts at the Psychiatry department during the first 2 years after intervention minus frequency of outpatient clinic contacts at the Psychiatry department during the last 2 years before intervention.

Change in fraction of hospitalized days at the Psychiatry department. Fraction of hospitalized days at the Psychiatry department during the first 2 years after intervention minus fraction of hospitalized days at the Psychiatry department during the last 2 years before intervention.

Change in frequency of outpatient clinic contacts at the Neurosurgery department.
Frequency of outpatient clinic contacts at the Neurosurgery department during the first 2 years after intervention minus frequency of outpatient clinic contacts at the Neurosurgery department during the last 2 years before intervention.

Change in fraction of hospitalized days at the Neurosurgery department. Fraction of hospitalized days at the Neurosurgery department during the first 2 years after intervention minus fraction of hospitalized days at the Neurosurgery department during the last 2 years before intervention.

Change in frequency of neurosurgical procedures related to the DBS system. Frequency of neurosurgical procedures related to the DBS system after intervention minus frequency of neurosurgical procedures related to the DBS system before intervention.

Peridialysis Project: The Influence of Predialysis Factors on the Initial Course of Dialysis

Planned dialysis
The patient's first dialysis is planned if:
His first hemodialysis uses an AV fistula
His first hemodialysis uses a permanent catheter as the patient's permanent access
His first peritoneal dialysis is >6 days after catheter placement.
The patient's first dialysis is unplanned if:
His first hemodialysis uses a temporary catheter
His first hemodialysis uses a permanent catheter as the patient's temporary access (i.e. a later AV fistula is planned.
His first peritoneal dialysis is <7 days after catheter placement.
