Pneumococcal serotypes and risk factors in adult community-acquired pneumonia 2018–20; a multicentre UK cohort study. Lancet Regional Health – Europe, 37, Article 100812. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.lanepe.2023.100812

Background: Higher-valency pneumococcal vaccines are anticipated. We aimed to describe serotype distribution and risk factors for vaccine-serotype community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in the two years pre-SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Methods: We conducted a pr...

Journal Article
Siraj, R. A., Bolton, C. E., & McKeever, T. M. (2023). Association between antidepressants with pneumonia and exacerbation in patients with COPD: a self-controlled case series (SCCS). Thorax, 79(1), 50-57. https://doi.org/10.1136/thorax-2022-219736

Objective: To assess whether antidepressant prescriptions are associated with an increased risk of pneumonia and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation. Methods: A self-controlled case series was performed to investigate the rates...

Incidence of cognitive impairment and dementia after hospitalisation for pneumonia: a UK population-based matched cohort study (2023)
Journal Article
Chalitsios, C. V., Baskaran, V., Harwood, R. H., Lim, W. S., & McKeever, T. M. (2023).

Background Survivors of common infections may develop cognitive impairment or dementia; however, the risk of these conditions in people hospitalised with pneumonia is not well established. Methods A matched cohort study was conducted using Hospit...

Impact of Coexisting Dementia on Inpatient Outcomes for Patients Admitted with a COPD Exacerbation (2022)
Journal Article
Gupta, A., McKeever, T. M., Hutchinson, J. P., & Bolton, C. E. (2022). Impact of Coexisting Dementia on Inpatient Outcomes for Patients Admitted with a COPD Exacerbation. International Journal of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, 2022(17), 535-544. https://doi.org/10.2147/copd.s345751

Purpose: People with COPD are at a higher risk of cognitive dysfunction than the general population. However, the additional impact of dementia amongst such patients is not well understood, particularly in those admitted with a COPD exacerbation. We...
