Abstract Background Patient and public involvement (PPI) in research envisages a relationship built throughout the lifespan of project between academics, clinicians PPI colleagues order to inform, plan, execute and, due course, disseminate translate research. To be meaningful, all stakeholders need actively engage this exchange expertise. However, despite some funders requiring plans included grant applications, there remains gap what is expected delivered. Main body As an exemplar, we...
Objectives: To investigate the relationship between bacterial vaginosis during pregnancy and black race/ethnicity. Study Design: Gram staining was used to evaluate vaginal flora in 842 women at 24 29 weeks' gestation. Results: Overall, 22.3% of blacks 8.5% whites had vaginosis. Vaginal pH differed significantly by race/ethnicity; were more likely have ≥4.5, no lactobacilli, small gram-variable -negative rods, Mobiluncus compared with (odds ratios 1.6, 1.5, 1.4, 10.6, respectively). Quantity...
Aim We aimed to identify enablers and barriers of using primary care routine data for healthcare research, formulate recommendations improving efficiency in knowledge discovery. Background Data recorded routinely can be used estimating the impact interventions provided within all people who are clinically eligible. Despite official promotion ‘efficient trial designs’, anecdotally researchers Asthma UK Centre Applied Research (AUKCAR) have encountered multiple accessing data. Methods Using...
Introduction The role of female sex hormones and their influence on asthma’s development natural history remain uncertain. Our study aims to enhance understanding exogenous hormones’ in asthma manifestation, considering phenotypic heterogeneity focusing metabolic syndrome-linked that has shown increased severity females. Methods analysis A cohort using primary care data from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) databases linked with additional sources (Hospital Episode Statistics,...
Continuing medical education (CME) is essential to developing and maintaining high quality primary care. Traditionally, CME delivered face-to-face, but due geographical distances, pressure of work in Bangladesh, general practitioners (GPs) are unable relocate for several days attend training. Using chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) as an exemplar, we aimed assess the feasibility blended learning (combination face-to-face online) GPs, explore trainees' trainers' perspectives...
This study examined the efficacy and safety of selegiline transdermal system (STS) brief repeated behavioral intervention (BRBI) for smoking cessation in heavy smokers. We hypothesized that quit rate subjects who received STS BRBI would be significantly greater than those placebo patch BRBI. was a double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel-group which 246 men women were randomized to receive either (n = 121) or =125) 9 weeks. Recruitment targeted smokers, defined as individuals with...
Pneumonia is the leading cause of under-five child deaths globally and in Bangladesh. Hypoxaemia or low (<90%) oxygen concentration arterial blood one strongest predictors mortality from pneumonia other acute respiratory infections. Since 2014, World Health Organization recommends using pulse oximetry devices Integrated Management Childhood Illness (IMCI) services (outpatient health services), but it was not routinely used most facilities Bangladesh until 2018.

Evaluation and treatment of chronic pain worldwide are limited by the lack standardized assessment tools incorporating consistent definitions chronicity specific queries known social psychological risk factors for pain. The Vanderbilt Global Pain Survey (VGPS) was developed as a tool to address these concerns, specifically in low- middle-income countries where global burden is highest.The VGPS using cross-culturally validated metrics, including Brief Inventory World Health Organization...
Abstract Background Asthma is a common long-term condition and major public health problem. Supported self-management for asthma that includes written personalised action plan, supported by regular professional review, reduces unscheduled consultations improves outcomes quality of life. However, despite unequivocal inter/national guideline recommendations, poorly implemented in practice. The IMPlementing IMProved as RouTine (IMP 2 ART) implementation strategy has been developed to address...
