Journal Article
West, J., Stilwell, P., Liu, H., Ban, L., Bythell, M., Card, T. R., …Crooks, C. J. (2022). Temporal Trends in the Incidence of Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis: A Nationwide Cohort Study From England 2003–2018. HemaSphere, 6(11), Article e797. https://doi.org/10.1097/HS9.0000000000000797

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is rare, results in high mortality, and is increasingly being diagnosed. We aimed to quantify the incidence of diagnosed HLH and examine temporal trends in relation to age and associated diseases. Using nation...

The relationship between Central Nervous System morphometry changes and key symptoms in Crohn’s disease (2022)
Journal Article

Alterations in grey matter volume (GMV) and cortical thickness (CT) in Crohn’s disease (CD) patients has been previously documented. However, the findings are inconsistent, and not a true representation of CD burden, as only CD patients in remission...

Background: Peptic ulcers in patients receiving aspirin are associated with Helicobacter pylori infection. We aimed to investigate whether H pylori eradication would protect against aspirin-associated ulcer bleeding. Methods: We conducted a randomise...

Journal of Crohn's and Colitis, 17(4), 489-496. https://doi.org/10.1093/ecco-jcc/jjac169

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Post-inflammatory polyps [PIPs] are considered as indicators of previous episodes of severe inflammation and mucosal ulceration. Inflammatory bowel disease [IBD], namely Crohn's disease [CD] and ulcerative colitis [UC], exhibit a...

Identification of Surgeon Burnout via a Single-Item Measure (2022)
Journal Article
Houdmont, J., Daliya, P., Adiamah, A., Theophilidou, E., Hassard, J., Lobo, D. N., …Young, L. (2022). Identification of Surgeon Burnout via a Single-Item Measure. Occupational Medicine, 72(9), 641-643. https://doi.org/10.1093/occmed/kqac116

Background Burnout is endemic in surgeons in the UK and linked with poor patient safety and quality of care, mental health problems, and workforce sustainability. Mechanisms are required to facilitate the efficient identification of burnout in this... Read More about Identification of Surgeon Burnout via a Single-Item Measure.
