Journal Article
Nakafero, G., Grainge, M. J., Card, T., Mallen, C. D., Nguyen Van-Tam, J. S., Abhishek, A., & . (2024). Uptake and safety of pneumococcal vaccination in adults with immune mediated inflammatory diseases: a UK wide observational study. Rheumatology, Article keae160. https://doi.org/10.1093/rheumatology/keae160

Objective The uptake and safety of pneumococcal vaccination in people with immune mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) is poorly understood. We investigated the UK wide pneumococcal vaccine uptake in adults with IMIDs and explored the association b...

Real world evidence for public health decision-making on vaccination policies: perspectives from an expert roundtable (2023)
Journal Article
de Waure, C., Gärtner, B. C., Lopalco, P. L., Puig-Barbera, J., & Nguyen-Van-Tam, J. S. (2024). Real world evidence for public health decision-making on vaccination policies: perspectives from an expert roundtable. Expert Review of Vaccines, 23(1), 27-38. https://doi.org/10.1080/14760584.2023.2290194

INTRODUCTION: Influenza causes significant morbidity and mortality, but influenza vaccine uptake remains below most countries' targets. Vaccine policy recommendations vary, as do procedures for reviewing and appraising the evidence. AREAS COVERED: Du...

Evaluation of pragmatic oxygenation measurement as a proxy for Covid-19 severity (2023)
Journal Article
Swets, M. C., Kerr, S., Scott-Brown, J., Brown, A. B., Gupta, R., Millar, J. E., …ISARIC4C Investigators. (2023). Evaluation of pragmatic oxygenation measurement as a proxy for Covid-19 severity. Nature Communications, 14(1), Article 7374. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-42205-6

Choosing optimal outcome measures maximizes statistical power, accelerates discovery and improves reliability in early-phase trials. We devised and evaluated a modification to a pragmatic measure of oxygenation function, the S/F ratio. Because of the...
