Background In the face of COVID-19 pandemic, UK National Health Service (NHS) extended eligibility for influenza vaccination this season to approximately 32.4 million people (48.8% population). Knowing intended uptake vaccine will inform supply and public health messaging maximize vaccination. Objective The objective study was measure impact pandemic on acceptance in 2020-2021 season, specifically focusing who were previously eligible but routinely declined newly people. Methods Intention...
Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) outcomes vary by sex. We investigated whether males females with asthma or COPD are managed differently in-hospital when admitted for an exacerbation. Data from the National Audit Programme were used to determine three cohorts of people hospitalised exacerbation: (1) adults asthma, (2) children young (CYP) (3) COPD. Outcomes included following interventional measures: spirometry recording, respiratory specialist review, medication...
Abstract Contact tracing and lockdown are health policies being used worldwide to combat the coronavirus (COVID-19). The UK National Health Service (NHS) Track Trace has plans for a nationwide app that notifies need self-isolation those in contact with person testing positive COVID-19. To be successful, such an will require high uptake, determinants willingness which unclear but essential understand effective public benefit. objective of this study was measure participate NHS app-based...
Rationale: Identifying patients with pulmonary fibrosis (PF) at risk of progression can guide management. Objectives: To explore the utility combining baseline BAL and computed tomography (CT) in differentiating progressive nonprogressive PF. Methods: The derivation cohort consisted incident cases PF for which was performed as part a diagnostic workup. A validation prospectively recruited identical inclusion criteria. Baseline thoracic CT scans were scored extent usual interstitial pneumonia...
Abstract Objective To develop a standardizable, reproducible method for creating drug codelists that incorporates clinical expertise and is adaptable to other studies databases. Materials Methods We developed methods generate tested this using the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) Aurum database, accounting missing data in database. generated for: (1) cardiovascular disease (2) inhaled Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) therapies, applying them sample cohort of 335 931...
Background The UK National Health Service (NHS) classified 2.2 million people as clinically extremely vulnerable (CEV) during the first wave of 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, advising them to “shield” (to not leave home for any reason). Objective aim this study was measure determinants shielding behavior and associations with well-being in a large NHS patient population informing future health policy. Methods Patients contributing an ongoing longitudinal participatory epidemiology (Longitudinal...
Despite large-scale adoption during COVID-19, patient perceptions on the benefits and potential risks with receiving care through digital technologies have remained largely unexplored. A quantitative content analysis of responses to a questionnaire ( N = 6766) conducted at multi-site acute trust in London (UK), was adopted identify commonly reported concerns. Patients range promising beyond immediate usage including ease access; support for disease management; improved timeliness access...
The COPD Best Practice Tariff (BPT) is a pay-for-performance scheme in England that incentivises review by respiratory specialist within 24 hours of admission and completion list key care components prior to discharge, known as discharge bundle, for patients admitted with acute exacerbation (AECOPD). We investigated whether the two BPT were associated lower 30-day mortality readmission people discharged following AECOPD.Longitudinal study national audit data containing details AECOPD...
ABSTRACT Background Contact tracing and lockdown are health policies being used worldwide to combat the coronavirus (COVID-19). While easing lockdown, UK National Health Service (NHS) launched its Track Trace at end of May 2020, aims by June 2020 also include app-based notification advice self-isolate for those who have been in contact with a person known COVID-19. To be successful, such an app will require high uptake, determinants willingness which unclear but essential understand...
ABSTRACT Objectives The objective of this study was to measure the impact Covid-19 pandemic on acceptance flu vaccination in 2020-21 season, including for those newly eligible UK National Health Service (NHS) free programme, extended year include an estimated 32.4 million (48.8%) population. Knowing intended uptake is essential inform supply and steer public health messaging maximise given combined threats both — unknown which attitudes need mass yet again create threat ill-informed planning...
Abstract Data promising effective Covid-19 vaccines have accelerated the UK’s mass vaccination programme. The UK public’s attitudes to government’s prioritisation list are unknown, and achieving critical population immunity will require remaining majority accept both delay in access of up a year or more. This cross-sectional observational study sent an online questionnaire registrants National Health Service’s largest personal health record. Question items covered willingness for vaccine...
Raising tobacco prices effectively reduces smoking, the main risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Using Health Impact Assessment tool "DYNAMO-HIA", this study quantified reduction in COPD burden that would occur Italy, England and Sweden over 40 years if were increased by 5%, 10% 20% current local prices, with larger increases considered secondary analyses. A dynamic Markov-based multi-state simulation modelling approach estimated effect of changes smoking prevalence...
Abstract Background In primary care, identifying pneumonia events in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may be challenging due to similarities symptoms COPD exacerbations and lack of diagnostic testing. This study explored the accuracy diagnosis coded care by comparing hospital. Methods A population England was created using Clinical Practice Research Datalink Aurum database linked Hospital Episode Statistics inpatient data. Pneumonia codes only, code associated...
Abstract This article outlines the epistemological foundations of transmarxism through a decolonial Marxist humanism taking up groundwork laid in Transgender Marxism (2021) by Nathaniel Dickson as starting point. The transmarxist critique alienated life via continued subjection trans people to an arbitrary and finite set external determinations coincides with hi[r]storical materialism humanist racial capitalism. While there are many debates around various forms humanism, this takes position...
Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease affects nearly 400 million worldwide – over a in the United Kingdom and is third leading cause of death. However, there limited understanding what prompts diagnosis, how long this takes from symptom onset different approaches to clinical management by primary care professionals. Objectives Map out National Health Service contacts presentation chronic diagnosis first acute exacerbation three time periods; construct risk prediction for disease....
ABSTRACT Objectives To inform critical public health messaging by determining how changes in Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy, attitudes to the priorities for administration, emergence of new variants and availability vaccines may affect trajectory achievement herd immunity. Methods >9,000 respondents an ongoing cross-sectional participatory longitudinal epidemiology study (LoC-19, n=18,581) completed a questionnaire within their personal electronic record week reporting first effective...
Research based assessments have a productive and storied history in PER.While useful for conducting research on student learning, their utility is limited instructors interested improving own courses.We developed new assessment design process that leverages three-dimensional evidence-centered design, self-regulated learning to deliver actionable feedback about supporting students' learning.We are using this approach the Thermal Statistical Physics Assessment (TaSPA), which also allows choose...

Abstract Motivation Combination of multiple datasets is routine in modern epidemiology. However, studies may have measured different sets variables; this often inefficiently dealt with by excluding or dropping variables. Multilevel imputation methods to impute these ‘systematically’ missing data (as opposed ‘sporadically’ within a study) are available, but problems arise when many random effects needed allow for heterogeneity across studies. We show that the Bayesian IMputation and Analysis...
This article explores Sylvia Wynter’s analysis of gender as a category differentially applied across the global color line and María Lugones’ account coloniality gender. While Lugones’s work offer consequential insights for queer, trans, intersex studies activism, they have deliberately engaged these particular discourses histories struggle in limited ways. Wynter analyzes contradictions Western feminists’ organizing against female genital cutting Africa, but she does not link her...
ABSTRACT Objective Epidemiological research using electronic healthcare records(EHR) informing everyday patient care uses combinations of codes (“codelists”) to define diseases and prescriptions (or phenotypes). Yet methodology for codelist generation varies, manifesting in misclassification bias, while there are drug-specific considerations. Materials Methods We developed methods generate drug codelists, testing this the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) Aurum database, accounting...
