Inverse association between blood pressure and pulse oximetry accuracy: an observational study in patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 infection (2022)
Journal Article
Crooks, C. J., West, J., Morling, J., Simmonds, M., Juurlink, I., Briggs, S., …Fogarty, A. W. (2023). Inverse association between blood pressure and pulse oximetry accuracy: an observational study in patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 infection. Emergency Medicine Journal, 40(3), 216-220. https://doi.org/10.1136/emermed-2022-212443

Background Pulse oximeters are a standard non-invasive tool to measure blood oxygen levels, and are used in multiple healthcare settings. It is important to understand the factors affecting their accuracy to be able to use them optimally and safely....

Differential pulse oximetry readings between ethnic groups and delayed transfer to intensive care units (2022)
Journal Article
Crooks, C. J., West, J., Morling, J. R., Simmonds, M., Juurlink, I., Briggs, S., …Fogarty, A. W. (2023). Differential pulse oximetry readings between ethnic groups and delayed transfer to intensive care units. QJM: An International Journal of Medicine, 116(1), 63-67. https://doi.org/10.1093/qjmed/hcac218

Summary Background Pulse oximeters are widely used to monitor blood oxygen saturations, although concerns exist that they are less accurate in individuals with pigmented skin. Aims This study aimed to determine if patients with pigmented skin were mo... Read More about Differential pulse oximetry readings between ethnic groups and delayed transfer to intensive care units.

Predicting Need for Escalation of Care or Death From Repeated Daily Clinical Observations and Laboratory Results in Patients With Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (2022)
Journal Article
Crooks, C. J., West, J., Fogarty, A., Morling, J. R., Grainge, M. J., Gonem, S., …Card, T. R. (2022). Predicting Need for Escalation of Care or Death From Repeated Daily Clinical Observations and Laboratory Results in Patients With Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2. American Journal of Epidemiology, 191(11), 1944-1953. https://doi.org/10.1093/aje/kwac126

We compared the performance of prognostic tools for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) using parameters fitted either at the time of hospital admission or across all time points of an admission. This cohort study used clinic...

Age modifies both the maximal temperature and inflammatory response in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection (2022)
Journal Article
Crooks, C. J., West, J., Morling, J. R., Simmonds, M., Juurlink, I., Briggs, S., …Fogarty, A. (2022). Age modifies both the maximal temperature and inflammatory response in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Clinical Medicine, 22(3), 192-196. https://doi.org/10.7861/clinmed.2021-0603

Objective To determine the maximal response of the temperature and inflammatory response to SARS-CoV-2 infection and how these are modified by age. Methods Participants were patients admitted to hospital with SARS-CoV-2 infection. For each partici...

Silent hypoxia is not an identifiable characteristic in patients with COVID-19 infection (2022)
Journal Article
Plummer, N. R., Fogarty, A., Shaw, D., Card, T., West, J., & Crooks, C. (2022). Silent hypoxia is not an identifiable characteristic in patients with COVID-19 infection. Respiratory Medicine, 197, Article 106858. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rmed.2022.106858

Background: We aimed to assess whether asymptomatic (“happy”) hypoxia was an identifiable physiological phenotype of COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and associated with need for ICU admission. Methods: We performed an observation... Read More about Silent hypoxia is not an identifiable characteristic in patients with COVID-19 infection.

Association between infection with H. pylori and atopy in young Ethiopian children: a longitudinal study (2017)
Journal Article
Taye, B., Enquselassie, F., Tsegaye, A., Amberbir, A., Medhin, G., Fogarty, A. W., …Davey, G. (in press). Association between infection with H. pylori and atopy in young Ethiopian children: a longitudinal study. Clinical and Experimental Allergy, 47(10), https://doi.org/10.1111/cea.12995

Background: Epidemiological evidence from developed countries indicates that Helicobacter pylori infection correlates with a reduced risk of atopy and allergic disorders, however limited data are available from low-income countries. Objective: We... Read More about Association between infection with H. pylori and atopy in young Ethiopian children: a longitudinal study.

Effect of Helicobacter pylori infection on growth trajectories in young Ethiopian children: a longitudinal study (2016)
Journal Article
Taye, B., Enquselassie, F., Tsegaye, A., Amberbir, A., Medhin, G., Fogarty, A., …Davey, G. (2016).

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 50, 57-66. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijid.2016.08.005

Background Helicobacter pylori infection has been associated with early childhood growth impairment in high- and middle-income countries; however, few studies have examined this relationship within low-income countries or have used a longitudinal de...
