Interplay between patient and centre factors in home therapy uptake: A sequences-of-regressions analysis using linked UK Renal Registry to centre survey data (2025)
Preprint / Working Paper
Potts, J., M Pearse, C., Lambie, M., Fotheringham, J., Hill, H., Coyle, D., Damery, S., Allen, K., Williams, I., J Davies, S., & Solis-Trapala, I. (2025). Interplay between patient and centre factors in home therapy uptake: A sequences-of-regressions analysis using linked UK Renal Registry to centre survey data

Rationale & Objective Disparities in home dialysis therapy (HT) use may stem from the interplay between dialysis centre services and patient characteristics. We analysed how these factors directly and indirectly affect HT uptake in England.

Study... Read More about Interplay between patient and centre factors in home therapy uptake: A sequences-of-regressions analysis using linked UK Renal Registry to centre survey data.

Environmentally Responsive Hydrogels and Composites Containing Hydrogels as Water-Based Lubricants (2025)
Journal Article
Chen, S., Wu, Z., Wei, L., Bai, X., Yuan, C., Guo, Z., & Yang, Y. (in press). Environmentally Responsive Hydrogels and Composites Containing Hydrogels as Water-Based Lubricants. Gels, 11(7), 526. https://doi.org/10.3390/gels11070526

Both biosystems and engineering fields demand advanced friction-reducing and lubricating materials. Due to their hydrophilicity and tissue-mimicking properties, hydrogels are ideal candidates for use as lubricants in water-based environments. They ar...

Switching Antipsychotics to Support the Physical Health of People With Severe Mental Illness: A Qualitative Study of Patient and Caregiver Perceptions and Experiences (2025)
Journal Article
Kaistha, P., Beddow, M., Kingstone, T., Farooq, S., & Chew-Graham, C. (2025). Switching Antipsychotics to Support the Physical Health of People With Severe Mental Illness: A Qualitative Study of Patient and Caregiver Perceptions and Experiences. BJPsych Open, 11(S1), S23-S23. https://doi.org/10.1192/bjo.2025.10199

Aims: People with Severe Mental Illness (SMI) have a reduced life expectancy of 15–20 years compared with the general population. This disparity is largely due to preventable health conditions like cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Certain antipsy...
