Development of an Early Warning Track and Trigger system for preterm or low-birth weight infants in a low resource setting: results of a mixed-methods study at a national referral hospital in Kenya (2020)
Journal Article

Introduction: Fifteen million babies are born prematurely, before 37 weeks gestational age, globally. More than 80% of these are in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. 35% of all deaths in the first month of life are due to prematurity and the neonatal mort...

Two-by-two factorial randomised study within a trial (SWAT) to evaluate strategies for follow-up in a randomised prevention trial (2020)
Journal Article

Background Failure to collect outcome data in randomised trials can result in bias and loss of statistical power. Further evaluations of strategies to increase retention are required. We assessed the effectiveness of two strategies for retention in...

Verification of placental growth factor and soluble-fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 assay performance in late pregnancy and their diagnostic test accuracy in women with reduced fetal movement (2020)
Journal Article

Background: Placental growth factor (PlGF) and soluble-fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt-1) are biomarkers of placental function used to aid the diagnosis and prediction of pregnancy complications. This work verified the analytical performance of both...

Daily emollient during infancy for prevention of eczema: the BEEP randomised controlled trial (2020)
Journal Article

Background Skin barrier dysfunction precedes eczema development. We tested whether daily use of emollient in the first year could prevent eczema in high-risk children. Methods We did a multicentre, pragmatic, parallel-group, randomised contr... Read More about Daily emollient during infancy for prevention of eczema: the BEEP randomised controlled trial.

An algorithm for diagnosing IgE-mediated food allergy in study participants who do not undergo food challenge (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 The Authors. Clinical & Experimental Allergy published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd. Background: Food allergy diagnosis in clinical studies can be challenging. Oral food challenges (OFC) are time-consuming, carry some risk and may, therefore,...

Standard care informed by the result of a placental growth factor blood test versus standard care alone in women with reduced fetal movement at or after 36+0 weeks’ gestation: a pilot randomised controlled trial (2020)
Journal Article

Background Biomarkers of placental function can potentially aid the diagnosis and prediction of pregnancy complications. This randomised controlled pilot trial assessed whether for women with reduced fetal movement (RFM), intervention directed by...
