Bibi van Montfrans

Bibi van Montfrans is a Researcher in the Department of Dermatology at Erasmus University Medical Center (Erasmus MC), Rotterdam. Her work centers on health-related quality-of-life assessment in patients with chronic wounds and venous disorders, with particular emphasis on post-thrombotic syndrome and deep vein thrombosis management.

Her primary research explores psychometric validation of wound-specific quality-of-life instruments like Wound-QoL-17/14 and clinical outcomes of venous stenting procedures. Dr. van Montfrans employs advanced statistical methods including item response theory to evaluate how chronic wounds and vascular conditions impact patients' psychological well-being and daily functioning through multinational European collaborations.

Recent publications reveal a consistent focus on European multicenter validation studies for wound-QoL instruments and investigations into anatomical factors (particularly inflow disease) affecting venous stent patency in post-thrombotic syndrome. Her work bridges vascular interventional techniques with patient-centered outcomes research.
