Health Inequality and its link to HbA1c Test Recovery in a Developed Health Economy: In a 'Nearly Post COVID-19' World (2022)
Presentation / Conference

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...

Is Vaccination Against Covid-19 Associated with Autoimmune Rheumatic Disease Flare? Self-controlled Case Series Analysis Using Data from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (Aurum) (2022)
Presentation / Conference

Background/Purpose: It is unclear whether autoimmune rheumatic disease (AIRD) flares are associated with the recent prior Covid-19 vaccination, and whether the association was influenced by vaccine modality and prior Covid-19 infection. The objective... Read More about Is Vaccination Against Covid-19 Associated with Autoimmune Rheumatic Disease Flare?

A Genome-Wide Association Analysis of 2,622,830 Individuals Reveals New Pathogenic Pathways in Gout (2022)
Presentation / Conference

Background/Purpose: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in gout have been relatively small (≤13,179 people with gout) and have provided little insight into the progression from hyperuricemia to gout. We present a gout GWAS that includes 120,282 pe... Read More about A Genome-Wide Association Analysis of 2,622,830 Individuals Reveals New Pathogenic Pathways in Gout.

Presentation / Conference

Background Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) caused by gastro-oesophageal varices remains a common complication of cirrhosis with 10% mortality despite improvements in care. University Hospitals of North Midlands (UHNM) was identified by the pre...

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 (2022)
Presentation / Conference

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...

Inequalities in the incidence and management of non-valvular atrial fibrillation in England, 2009 to 2019: Cohort study using electronic health records from general practices (2022)
Presentation / Conference

Background Atrial fibrillation is an important risk factor for ischaemic stroke and AF incidence is expected to increase. Guidelines recommend using oral anticoagulants (OACs) to prevent the development of stroke. However, studies have reported the f...

Evaluating the long-term effect of allopurinol use in gout using marginal structural models: A primary care electronic health records study (2022)
Presentation / Conference

Background: Allopurinol is intended to be taken for life in the treatment of gout. In UK primary care, treatment is suboptimal with up to 30% of indicated patients being treated within five years of diagnosis and once prescribed allopurinol, treatmen...

Musculoskeletal pain and its impact on rates of hospitalisation and mortality in cancer: a linked electronic health record cohort study (MSKCOM) (2022)
Presentation / Conference

Background: Patients with painful musculoskeletal conditions have an increased risk of developing cancer, but less is known about whether this impacts on the longer-term cancer prognosis. This study aims to determine whether patients with painful mus...
