The association between benzodiazepines and influenza-like illness-related pneumonia and mortality: a survival analysis using UK Primary Care data (2016)
Journal Article
Nakafero, G., Sanders, R. D., Nguyen-Van-Tam, J. S., & Myles, P. R. (2016). The association between benzodiazepines and influenza-like illness-related pneumonia and mortality: a survival analysis using UK Primary Care data. Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety, 25(11), 1263-1273. https://doi.org/10.1002/pds.4028

Purpose: Bacterial superinfections, including pneumonia, are frequent complications of influenza-like illness (ILI). Clinical and laboratory evidence suggests that benzodiazepines and Z-drugs may influence susceptibility to infections and mortality....

A UK general practice population cohort study investigating the association between lipid lowering drugs and 30-day mortality following medically attended acute respiratory illness (2016)
Journal Article
Joshi, R., Venkatesan, S., & Myles, P. R. (2016). A UK general practice population cohort study investigating the association between lipid lowering drugs and 30-day mortality following medically attended acute respiratory illness. PeerJ, 4, Article e1902. https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.1902

Background: Cholesterol lowering drugs HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) and PPARα activators (fibrates) have been shown to reduce host inflammation via non-disease specific immunomodulatory mechanisms. Recent studies suggest that commonly presc...
