Centre-level fluid management practices in the BISTRO trial and their lack of association with participant fluid status and blood pressure in non-anuric haemodialysis patients (2024)
Journal Article
Johal, N., Sharma, R., Belcher, J., Coyle, D., Lindley, E. J., Keane, D., …Davies, S. J. (2024). Centre-level fluid management practices in the BISTRO trial and their lack of association with participant fluid status and blood pressure in non-anuric haemodialysis patients. BMC Nephrology, 25(1), Article 398. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12882-024-03837-y

Introduction: Fluid assessment and management is a key aspect of good dialysis care and is affected by patient-level characteristics and potentially centre-level practices. In this secondary analysis of the BISTRO trial we wished to establish whether...

Impact of the Preservation of Residual Kidney Function on Hemodialysis Survival: Results from the BISTRO Trial (2024)
Journal Article
Belcher, J., Coyle, D., Lindley, E. J., Keane, D., Caskey, F. J., Dasgupta, I., …Davies, S. J. (2024). Impact of the Preservation of Residual Kidney Function on Hemodialysis Survival: Results from the BISTRO Trial. Kidney360, https://doi.org/10.34067/kid.0000000596

Preservation of residual kidney function (RKF) in dialysis patients has been associated with improved survival. RKF in the BISTRO trial was relatively well preserved and here we describe its association with survival during the trial and extended fol...

Cost-effectiveness of bioimpedance-guided fluid management in patients undergoing haemodialysis: the BISTRO RCT (2024)
Journal Article
Zanganeh, M., Belcher, J., Fotheringham, J., Coyle, D., Lindley, E. J., Keane, D. F., …Andronis, L. (2024). Cost-effectiveness of bioimpedance-guided fluid management in patients undergoing haemodialysis: the BISTRO RCT. Health Technology Assessment, 1-45. https://doi.org/10.3310/jypr4287

Background
The BioImpedance Spectroscopy to maintain Renal Output randomised controlled trial investigated the effect of bioimpedance spectroscopy added to a standardised fluid management protocol on the risk of anuria and preservation of residual k...

P187 Fatigue in people with polymyalgia rheumatica: a key unmet need? (2024)
Presentation / Conference
Muller, S., Belcher, J., Hider, S., Helliwell, T., & Mallen, C. D. (2024, April). P187 Fatigue in people with polymyalgia rheumatica: a key unmet need?. Poster presented at British Society for Rheumatology Annual Conference 2024

Background/Aims Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is common in older adults, causing severe pain and stiffness, particularly in the shoulder and hip girdles. Glucocorticoids treatment generally focusses on reducing pain and stiffness, but there are other... Read More about P187 Fatigue in people with polymyalgia rheumatica: a key unmet need?.

Weight, weight gain and behavioural risk factors in women attending a breast cancer family history, risk and prevention clinic: an observational study (2024)
Journal Article
Pegington, M., Belcher, J., Barrett, E., Virpal, P., Howell, A., Evans, D. G., & Harvie, M. (in press). Weight, weight gain and behavioural risk factors in women attending a breast cancer family history, risk and prevention clinic: an observational study. BJC Reports, 2(1), Article 22. https://doi.org/10.1038/s44276-024-00039-9

Background: Weight and health behaviours impact on breast cancer risk. We describe trends in weight and health behaviours in women at entry to a specialist breast cancer family history clinic in Manchester, UK, and changes after clinic entry. Methods...
