Background: Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) are widely regarded as the most powerful research design for evidence-based practice. However, recruiting to RCTs can be challenging resulting in heightened costs and delays in research completion and i...

The Linear Association of Chest Radiograph Opacification With Both Respiratory Physiology and Systemic Inflammation in Hospital In-Patients With Covid-19 Infection (2025)
Journal Article
Crooks, C., Shaw, D., Card, T., Au-Yong, I., Higashi, Y., Giannotti, E., & Fogarty, A. (2025). The Linear Association of Chest Radiograph Opacification With Both Respiratory Physiology and Systemic Inflammation in Hospital In-Patients With Covid-19 Infection. Clinical Respiratory Journal, 19(2), Article e70056. https://doi.org/10.1111/crj.70056

Background: Chest radiographs are generally used for diagnostic purposes. They also have potential to quantify disease severity. This analysis tested the hypothesis that there was an association between chest radiograph opacification and measures of...

Is NEWS2 the optimal evidence-based surveillance tool for all respiratory patients or does it just represent the beginning of an iterative development process? (2025)
Journal Article
Shaw, D., & Fogarty, A. W. (2025). Is NEWS2 the optimal evidence-based surveillance tool for all respiratory patients or does it just represent the beginning of an iterative development process?. Thorax, Article thorax-2024-222335. https://doi.org/10.1136/thorax-2024-222335

Medical practice is built on the foundations of evidence-based medicine. Hence, the more common the clinical intervention, the more comprehensive the evidence on which that intervention should be based. Although the widespread adoption of a national...
