Stewart, I., McKeever, T., Braybrooke, R., Oballa, E., Simpson, J. K., Maher, T. M., …Saini, G. (2018). Patient reported distress can aid clinical decision making in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: analysis of the PROFILE cohort

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive and fatal interstitial lung disease. We aimed to determine if patient response to a palliative assessment survey could predict disease progression or death. We undertook a cross-sectional study in a U...

Hip fracture outcomes in patients with COPD (2018)
Journal Article
Buss, L., McKeever, T. M., Nightingale, J., Akyea, R., Ollivere, B., Moppett, I., & Bolton, C. E. (2018). Hip fracture outcomes in patients with COPD. British Journal of Anaesthesia, 121(6), 1377-1379. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bja.2018.09.008+hideArticle+Info

Hip fractures are common in patients with COPD and contemporary outcome data is needed. Patients admitted with a hip fracture to one acute trust (2010-2015) were assessed prospectively (UK National Hip Fracture Database audit) and mortality data col...

PLoS ONE, 13(3), Article e0194434. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0194434

Background Reduced lung function is common and associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, even in asymptomatic individuals without diagnosed respiratory disease. Previous studies have identified relationships between lung fu...
