Analysis of English general practice level data linking medication levels, service activity and demography to levels of glycaemic control being achieved in type 2 diabetes to improve clinical practice and patient outcomes. (2019)
Journal Article

OBJECTIVE: Evaluate relative clinical effectiveness of treatment options for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) using a statistical model of real-world evidence within UK general practitioner practices (GPP), to quantify the opportunities for diabetes c...

SAT-371 Correlation of Midnight and Post Dexamethasone Salivary Cortisone and Cortisol with Post Dexamethasone Serum Cortisol Concentrations In Patients with Unilateral and Bilateral Adrenal Incidentalomas (2019)
Journal Article

Correlation between midnight and post dexamethasone salivary cortisone and cortisol and post dexamethasone serum cortisol concentrations in patients with unilateral and bilateral adrenal incidentalomas Background: The commonest functional abnormality...

SAT-372 Correlation of Serum Dexamethasone and Cortisol Concentrations Post Dexamethasone 1 Mg in the Overnight Dexamethasone Suppression Test in Patients with Unilateral and Bilateral Adrenal Incidentalomas (2019)
Journal Article

Background: The most common functional abnormality in adrenal incidentalomas (AI) is autonomous cortisol secretion. Most guidelines recommend a 1 mg overnight dexamethasone suppression test (ONDST) as a screening test for this abnormality. There is s...

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

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...

Practice based analysis of Type 2 diabetes shows that patients’ own perceptions of support within primary care as per GP Patient Survey (GPPS) are as important as medication and services in improving Target Glycaemic Control (TGC-%HbA1c results ≤58mmol/mol) and reducing high glycaemic risk (HGR-%HbA1c results >86mmol/mol) as reported in the National Diabetes Audit (NDA) (2019)
Presentation / Conference

Aims: To evaluate the link between patients’ own perception of support within primary care and % patients in TGC and HGR groups, while allowing for local medication, services and demographics. Method: National Diabetes Audit (NDA) 2016–17 publishe...

Differences in activity from Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) for patients with Type 2 diabetes and patients without diabetes linked at GP Practice level (GPP) to levels of glycaemic control as measured by glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) taken from National Diabetes Audit (NDA) allowing for age, social deprivation, gender and ethnicity of both populations (2019)
Presentation / Conference

Aims: To compare associated hospital activity between patients with Type 2 diabetes and patients without diabetes and consider the impact of differing levels of glycaemic control on this difference, allowing for variation in local demographics. Me...
