Putting graphic elicitation into practice: tools and typologies for the use of participant-led diagrams in qualitative research interviews (2018)
Journal Article

Background
The NHS policy of constructing multispecialty community providers (MCPs) rests on a complex set of assumptions about how health systems can replace hospital use with enhanced primary care for people with complex, chronic or multiple healt...

Survival among older adults with kidney failure is better in the first three years with chronic dialysis treatment than not (2018)
Journal Article
Tam-Tham, H., Quinn, R. R., Weaver, R. G., Zhang, J., Ravani, P., Liu, P., Thomas, C., King-Shier, K., Fruetel, K., James, M. T., Manns, B. J., Tonelli, M., Murtagh, F. E., & Hemmelgarn, B. R.

Kidney International, 94(3), 582-588. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.kint.2018.03.007

Comparisons of survival between dialysis and nondialysis care for older adults with kidney failure have been limited to those managed by nephrologists, and are vulnerable to lead and immortal time biases. So we compared time to all-cause mortality am... Read More about Survival among older adults with kidney failure is better in the first three years with chronic dialysis treatment than not.

Symptom prevalence of patients with fibrotic interstitial lung disease: A systematic literature review (2018)

However, quantitatively, little is known about sym... Read More about Symptom prevalence of patients with fibrotic interstitial lung disease: A systematic literature review.

Validation of the dyspnea exertion scale of breathlessness in people with life-limiting illness (2018)
Journal Article

Background
Although chronic breathlessness is common in life-limiting illnesses, validated feasible instruments to measure functional impact of the symptom in this population are scarce. We aimed to validate the Dyspnea Exertion Scale (DES) compared... Read More about Validation of the dyspnea exertion scale of breathlessness in people with life-limiting illness.

In silico (computed) modelling of doses and dosing regimens associated with morphine levels above international legal driving limits (2018)
Journal Article
Boland, J. W., Johnson, M., Ferreira, D., & Berry, D. J. (2018). In silico (computed) modelling of doses and dosing regimens associated with morphine levels above international legal driving limits. Palliative medicine, 32(7), 1222-1232. https://doi.org/10.1177/0269216318773956

Background:
Morphine can cause central nervous system side effects which impair driving skills. The legal blood morphine concentration limit for driving is 20 µg/L in France/Poland/Netherlands and 80 µg/L in England/Wales. There is no guidance as to...
