Title: Prediction of Functional Disability in Older Chinese Adults Using a Random Survival Forest Model (2024)
Working Paper
Shan, Y., Jiang, S., Yu, D., Fan, W., Gao, J., Lu, W., …Wang, C. Title: Prediction of Functional Disability in Older Chinese Adults Using a Random Survival Forest Model

Background
As life expectancy increases, so does the risk of age-related diseases and functional disability, which significantly raises the risk of all-cause mortality in older adults. Individuals with disabilities may die up to 20 years earlier tha... Read More about Title: Prediction of Functional Disability in Older Chinese Adults Using a Random Survival Forest Model.

Association of air pollution from a landfill site with primary care consultation (2024)
Working Paper
Jordan, K. P., Muller, S., Usman, M., Bailey, J., Burton, C., Lawton, S. A., …van der Windt, D. A. Association of air pollution from a landfill site with primary care consultation

Background Waste landfill sites are associated with gaseous emissions and this air pollution can cause unpleasant smells (“malodour”). This causes concerns about its impact on the health of the local population. This study assessed change in general...

Protocol for the Work And Vocational advicE (WAVE) randomised controlled trial testing the addition of vocational advice to usual primary care (Clinical Trials: NCT04543097) (2024)
Working Paper
Wynne-Jones, G., Lewis, M., Sowden, G., Madan, I., Walker-Bone, K., Chew-Graham, C., …Foster, N. Protocol for the Work And Vocational advicE (WAVE) randomised controlled trial testing the addition of vocational advice to usual primary care (Clinical Trials: NCT04543097)

Objectives To investigate the effectiveness of adding a brief vocational advice intervention to usual care in reducing the number of days absent from work over a period of 6 months in adults given a fit note by their general practice.

Design Multi... Read More about Protocol for the Work And Vocational advicE (WAVE) randomised controlled trial testing the addition of vocational advice to usual primary care (Clinical Trials: NCT04543097).

Extracellular vesicle bioactivity and potential clinical utility is determined by mesenchymal stromal cell clonal subtype (2024)
Working Paper
Ioannou, S., G Kay, A., P Stone, A., Rand, E., Elberfeld, S., Bolton, W., …Genever, P. Extracellular vesicle bioactivity and potential clinical utility is determined by mesenchymal stromal cell clonal subtype

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are a promising source of therapeutic extracellular vesicles (EVs), however it is not clear how heterogeneity within a non-clonal MSC population will affect the collective EV pool. Here we used immortalised clonal MSC... Read More about Extracellular vesicle bioactivity and potential clinical utility is determined by mesenchymal stromal cell clonal subtype.

Diabetes, metabolic health, and the development of frozen shoulder: a cohort study in UK electronic health records (2024)
Working Paper
Dyer, B., Burton, C., Rathod-Mistry, T., Blagojevic-Bucknall, M., & van der Windt, D. Diabetes, metabolic health, and the development of frozen shoulder: a cohort study in UK electronic health records

Objective Estimate the effect of type 2 diabetes on the development of frozen shoulder and investigate whether the effect is mediated by other metabolic factors. Methods Primary care medical record-based cohort study containing 43,977 patients newly...

Protocol for the development and validation of a Rheumatoid Arthritis PredIction moDel using primary care health records (RAPID) (2024)
Working Paper
Hammond, B., Baranskaya, A., Adderley, N., Zemedikun, D., d’Elia, A., Falahee, M., …Raza, K. Protocol for the development and validation of a Rheumatoid Arthritis PredIction moDel using primary care health records (RAPID)

Background Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic rheumatological condition which causes inflammation of both the joint lining and extra-articular sites. It affects around 1% of the UK population and, if not properly treated, can lead joint damage, d...

Cost-utility analysis of risk-based stratified primary care for common musculoskeletal pain presentations: a cluster-randomised, controlled trial (2024)
Working Paper
Kigozi, J., Hill, J. C., Bromley, K., Lewis, M., Wathall, S., Chudyk, A., …Jowett, S. Cost-utility analysis of risk-based stratified primary care for common musculoskeletal pain presentations: a cluster-randomised, controlled trial

Background
Risk-based stratified care (SC) has demonstrated cost-effectiveness versus usual primary care for non-specific low back pain. The STarT MSK trial investigated the cost-effectiveness of risk-based stratified care versus non-stratified usua...

Shifting Geographical Transmission Patterns: Characterizing the 2023 Fatal Dengue Outbreak in Bangladesh (2024)
Working Paper
Nayeem Hasan, M., Rahman, M., Fahim Uddin, M., Ali Akbar Ashrafi, S., Rahman, K. M., Kumar Paul, K., …Haider, N. Shifting Geographical Transmission Patterns: Characterizing the 2023 Fatal Dengue Outbreak in Bangladesh

In 2023, Bangladesh experienced its largest and deadliest outbreak of Dengue virus (DENV), reporting the highest-ever recorded annual cases and deaths. We aimed to characterize the geographical transmission of the DENV in Bangladesh. From 1 Jan – 31...
