Health Inequality and its link to HbA1c Test Recovery in a Developed Health Economy: In a 'Nearly Post COVID-19' World (2022)
Presentation / Conference
Heald, A., Holland, D., Duff, C. J., Scargill, J., Hanna, F., & Fryer, A. (2022, November). Health Inequality and its link to HbA1c Test Recovery in a Developed Health Economy: In a 'Nearly Post COVID-19' World. Poster presented at Society for Endocrinology BES 2022, Harrogate, United Kingdom

Background: We previously showed that in first 6 months of the UK Covid-19(C19) pandemic >6.6million HbA1c tests were missed, including 1.4million in people with diabetes(DM). Furthermore, C19 more significantly impacts people with DM / socioeconomic...

Speed of recovery of testing for management of diabetes in the aftermath of COVID-19 is slower in areas of greater social deprivation: findings from a UK study. Poster presented at 58 th EASD Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes, Stockholm, Sweden

Background and aims: We have previously shown that, during the first 6 months of the UK COVID-19-associated lockdown, >6.6M HbA1c tests were missed/delayed, including 1.41M missed/delayed in people with diabetes (0.51M in those with suboptimal contro...

The pattern of testing for glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA 1c ) in people with diabetes is linked to the long term trajectory of blood glucose control (2021)
Presentation / Conference
Fryer, A. . A., Holland, D., Duff, C. . J., & Heald, A. (2021, September). The pattern of testing for glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA 1c ) in people with diabetes is linked to the long term trajectory of blood glucose control

Background and aims: American Diabetes Association Guidelines (ADA) advocate testing “at least two times a year in patients who are meeting treatment goals” and “quarterly in patients who are not meeting glycaemic goals”. We previously described link... Read More about The pattern of testing for glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA 1c ) in people with diabetes is linked to the long term trajectory of blood glucose control.

More frequent lithium testing associates with lower hospital admission rate for bipolar disorder - what this tells us about GP practice engagement with this group (2019)
Presentation / Conference
Holland, D., Healy, A., Stedman, M., Duff, C., Fryer, A., Yung, A., & Bailey, S. (2019, April). More frequent lithium testing associates with lower hospital admission rate for bipolar disorder - what this tells us about GP practice engagement with this group. Presented at 27th European Congress of Psychiatry, Warsaw, Poland

Background and aims.– Lithium treatment is a cornerstone of bipolar
affective disorder management.
We determined how frequency of lithium level checks at GP (family) practice level relates to psychiatric admission rate for bipolar
affective disord... Read More about More frequent lithium testing associates with lower hospital admission rate for bipolar disorder - what this tells us about GP practice engagement with this group.

Daylight robbery: Hospitals admissions for childhood asthma in English regions are inversely associated with hours of sunshine (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Carroll, W., Saunders, A., Ismail, K., Farrell, W., Emes, R., & Fryer, A. (2014, September). Daylight robbery: Hospitals admissions for childhood asthma in English regions are inversely associated with hours of sunshine. Presented at 22nd Annual Congress, Munich, Germany

Background: Vitamin D is implicated in the expression of childhood asthma but it is difficult to pick apart cause and effect from observational data. If lack of vitamin D is secondary to a sedentary lifestyle then weather patterns should not effect a...
