Barriers and facilitators in diagnosing axial spondyloarthritis: a qualitative study (2024)
Journal Article
Hay, C. A., Packham, J., Prior, J. A., Mallen, C. D., & Ryan, S. (2024). Barriers and facilitators in diagnosing axial spondyloarthritis: a qualitative study. Rheumatology International, 44, 863–884. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00296-024-05554-z

Diagnosis of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is frequently delayed for years after symptom onset. However, little is known about patient and healthcare professional (HCP) perspectives on barriers and facilitators in axSpA diagnosis. This study explor...

Diagnostic Delay in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Systematic Review (2022)
Journal Article
Matoi, S., Hay, C., Baines, L., Saunders, B., Farmer, A., Cross, E., …Prior, J. (2022). Diagnostic Delay in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Systematic Review. Digestive Diseases and Sciences, 67, 5444–5454. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10620-022-07452-5

Introduction Delays in diagnosing pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are common, but the extent of this delay remains unclear due to variations in reported time-periods between studies. The objectives of this systematic review were to examine... Read More about Diagnostic Delay in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Systematic Review.

Diagnostic delay in axial spondyloarthritis: a systematic review (2022)
Journal Article
Hay, C., Packham, J., Ryan, S., Mallen, C., Chatzixenitidis, A., & Prior, J. (2022). Diagnostic delay in axial spondyloarthritis: a systematic review. Clinical Rheumatology, 41(1939–1950), https://doi.org/10.1007/s10067-022-06100-7

Identification of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) remains challenging, frequently resulting in a diagnostic delay for patients. Current benchmarks of delay are usually reported as mean data, which are typically skewed and therefore may be overestimat...

Mortality in Patients With Gout Treated With Allopurinol: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis (2021)
Journal Article

ObjectiveUrate‐lowering therapy (predominantly allopurinol) is highly effective as a treatment for gout, but its wider long‐term effects remain unclear. This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to ascertain the association between mortality and...

Presentation / Conference
Feddah, H., Muller, S., Hider, S., Hay, C., & Mallen, C. (2020, April). P148 Gastrointestinal symptoms and proton pump inhibitor use in patients with polymyalgia rheumatica: results from the PMR Cohort study. Poster presented at British Society for Rheumatology Annual Conference 2020, - Cancelled -

Background
Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) is a common disorder of older adults, characterised by pain and stiffness in the shoulders and hips. PMR is one of the commonest indications for long-term glucocorticoid use. Because of the well-recognised sid...

Gender-specific risk factors for gout: a systematic review of cohort studies (2019)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND:
Though gout is more prevalent in men than women, it remains unclear whether gender influences risk factors for incident gout. We aimed to systematically review all cohort studies examining risk factors for the development of gout by gend...

Obesity, hypertension and diuretic use as risk factors for incident gout: a systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies (2018)
Journal Article

Arthritis Research and Therapy, 20, Article 136. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13075-018-1612-1

BACKGROUND: Gout treatment remains suboptimal. Identifying populations at risk of developing gout may provide opportunities for prevention. Our aim was to assess the risk of incident gout associated with obesity, hypertension and diuretic use. METHOD...
