Does knowledge of liver fibrosis affect high-risk drinking behaviour (KLIFAD): an open-label pragmatic feasibility randomised controlled trial (2023)
Journal Article

Background: Early identification followed by effective behaviour interventions is pivotal to changing the natural history of alcohol-related liver disease. We examined the feasibility of using transient elastography based advice and alcohol recovery...

Incidence and prevalence of venous thromboembolism in chronic liver disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis (2022)
Journal Article

Background and Aims: Historically, bleeding was thought to be a frequent and fatal complication of liver disease. However, thrombosis due to coagulation disorders in cirrhosis remains a real risk. We aim to systematically analyse published articles t... Read More about Incidence and prevalence of venous thromboembolism in chronic liver disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Functional standing frame programme early after severe sub-acute stroke (SPIRES): a randomised controlled feasibility trial (2022)
Journal Article

Background Early mobilisation (> 24 h post-stroke) is recommended for people with stroke. However, there is a paucity of evidence about how to implement early mobilisation for people who have had a severe stroke. Prolonged standing and task-specific...

Does knowledge of liver fibrosis affect high-risk drinking behaviour (KLIFAD)? protocol for a feasibility randomised controlled trial (2021)
Journal Article

Introduction Heavy drinkers in contact with alcohol services do not routinely have access to testing to establish the severity of potential liver disease. Transient elastography by FibroScan can provide this information. A recent systematic review su...

Younger people with rheumatoid arthritis are at increased risk of fracture even before age 50 years: a population-based cohort study (2021)
Journal Article

Summary: Less is known about the risk of fracture in people with rheumatoid arthritis aged under 50 than those in older age groups. The study shows that the risk of fracture before age 50 remains significantly higher in those with rheumatoid arthriti...
