Understanding and addressing vaccine hesitancy in the context of COVID-19: development of a digital intervention (2021)
Journal Article

Objectives: Severe Acute Respiratory Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was identified in late 2019, spreading to over 200 countries and resulting in almost two million deaths worldwide. The emergence of safe and effective vaccines provides a route out of th...

Risk of subtrochanteric and femoral shaft fractures due to bisphosphonate therapy in asthma: a population-based nested case–control study (2021)
Journal Article

Summary: Concerns have been raised over the association between bisphosphonates and atypical fractures in subtrochanteric and femoral shaft regions, but the potential risk of these fractures due to bisphosphonate use in asthma has not been examined....

Effects of tobacco smoking on recurrent hospitalisation with pneumonia: a population-based cohort study (2021)
Journal Article

The incidence of and risk factors for recurrent hospitalisation for pneumonia were investigated using data from Hospital Episode Statistics, linked to a UK primary care database. Within 90 days and 1 year of follow-up, 1733 (3.1%) and 5064 (9.0%), de... Read More about Effects of tobacco smoking on recurrent hospitalisation with pneumonia: a population-based cohort study.

A low exhaled nitric oxide level excludes a short-term benefit from inhaled corticosteroids in suspected asthma: A randomized placebo-controlled trial (2021)
Journal Article

Background and objective: Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) is a non-invasive biomarker that reflects IL-4/IL-13 production and therefore represents T2 allergic inflammation. FeNO has previously been used to guide inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) tr...

Factors associated with survival in small cell lung cancer: an analysis of real-world national audit, chemotherapy and radiotherapy data (2021)
Journal Article

Background: The mainstay of treatment for small cell lung cancer (SCLC) involves platinum doublet chemotherapy but the optimal duration, 4 vs. 6 cycles, is not known. Concurrent thoracic radiotherapy followed by prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI)...

Co-infection in critically ill patients with COVID-19: an observational cohort study from England (2021)
Journal Article

Introduction: During previous viral pandemics, reported co-infection rates and implicated pathogens have varied. In the 1918 influenza pandemic, a large proportion of severe illness and death was complicated by bacterial co-infection, predominantly S...

The feasibility and tolerability of using Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) with adults discharged from the hospital with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) (2021)
Journal Article

Background: Patients experience substantial morbidity following discharge from hospital and during recovery from community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has demonstrated improved functional capacity and reduced patient-r...
