Biography
Dylan de Lange started his medical education at the University of Utrecht in 1992. After graduating he started as a resident in Internal Medicine in a teaching hospital in Amersfoort but he finished his residency in the University Medical Center in Utrecht (UMC Utrecht). Afterwards he did a fellowship in Infectious Diseases and subsequently a fellowship in Intensive Care Medicine. In 2007 he joined the medical staff of the Intensive Care Unit and the Dutch Poisons Information Center (DPIC) in the University Medical Center Utrecht, where he has been working ever since.
Since 2017 he is full professor in Clinical Toxicology and the chair of the Dutch Poisons Information Center (nvic.umcutrecht.nl). As a clinical toxicologist (European Registered Toxicologist, ERT) he advises on medical treatment of intoxicated patients. The Dutch Poisons Information Center is contacted for medical advice over 240,000 times per year by other medical professionals.
He is a board member of the National Intensive Care Evaluation (NICE) Foundation, which benchmarks the all Dutch ICUs. Part of his current research is derived from this large national registry: (long term) outcome after intensive care treatment. Not only mortality is important but also the health related quality of life (HRQoL). Can we predict good/bad outcome?
His research interests obviously situate at the intersection of Clinical Toxicology and Intensive Care Medicine and focusses on "predicting outcome" in:
In 2019 a large European research project started looking at the (long-term) outcomes of intoxicated patients on various ICUs in the World. Can we predict outcome based on variables that ate present at admission to the hospital? This INTOXICATE study is now closed and the first analyses are being published.
