Presentation / Conference
Arora, A., Shanmugasundaram, M., Varughese, G., Duffs, C., Fryer, A., & Nayak, A. (2015, March). Timing of HbA1c pre-admission: impact on readmission and in-hospital mortality in patients with diabetes. Poster presented at Diabetes UK Professional Conference 2015, ExCel London, UK

Aims: Association between high HbA1c and risk of all-cause hospital admissions is recognised. We aimed to investigate the impact of HbA1c screening pre-admission the time of admission, on readmission rates and in-hospital mortality. Methods: Amongst...

Presentation / Conference
Gilchrist, F. J., Belcher, J., Jones, A. M., Smith, D., Smyth, A., Southern, K. W., …Lenney, W. (2014, December). THE INCIDENCE OF NEW PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA INFECTION IN CHILDREN WITH CYSTIC FIBROSIS. Poster presented at British Thoracic Society Winter Meeting 2014, The Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, Broad Sanctuary, Westminster, London

Introduction Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is one of the most important pathogens in cystic fibrosis (CF). Although there is a wealth of data about the prevalence of chronic PA infection, there is a paucity of evidence about the incidence of new PA inf...

Bisphosphonates and Risk of Acute Pseudogout: A Case-Control Study in the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD). (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Muller, S., Paskins, Z., Hider, S., Mallen, C., Roddy, E., & Bucknall, M. (2014, November). Bisphosphonates and Risk of Acute Pseudogout: A Case-Control Study in the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD). Poster presented at 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting, Boston, MA, usa

Background/Purpose: Acute pseudogout is the most dramatic clinical manifestation of calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition (CPPD). CPPD is most commonly sporadic and age-related but can rarely occur secondary to metabolic diseases or a familial tra...

The sensitivity and specificity of pseudomonas aeruginosa detection using hydrogen cyanide concentration in exhaled breath - The SPACE study (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Gilchrist, F., Jones, A., Webb, K., Smith, D., & Lenney, W. (2014, September). The sensitivity and specificity of pseudomonas aeruginosa detection using hydrogen cyanide concentration in exhaled breath - The SPACE study. Presented at ERS 22nd Annual Congress 2014, Munich, Germany

Introduction Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is an in-vitro marker of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA). This is the first in-vivo study to investigate if HCN is an early marker of PA infection in children with cystic fibrosis (CF). Methods Children who ha...
