Patients' and health professionals' perceptions of the LoDED (limit of detection and ECG discharge) strategy for low-risk chest pain management: A qualitative study (2020)
Journal Article
Background: Rapid discharge strategies for patients with low-risk chest pain using high-sensitivity troponin assays have been extensively evaluated. The adherence to, and acceptability of such strategies, has largely been explored using quantitative...

Retrospective cohort study of admission timing and mortality following COVID-19 infection in England (2020)
Journal Article
Objectives We investigated whether the timing of hospital admission is associated with the risk of mortality for patients with COVID-19 in England, and the factors associated with a longer interval between symptom onset and hospital admission.
Des... Read More about Retrospective cohort study of admission timing and mortality following COVID-19 infection in England.
Living risk prediction algorithm (QCOVID) for risk of hospital admission and mortality from coronavirus 19 in adults: National derivation and validation cohort study (2020)
Journal Article
Objective To derive and validate a risk prediction algorithm to estimate hospital admission and mortality outcomes from coronavirus disease 2019 (covid-19) in adults.
Design: Population based cohort study.
Setting and participants: QResearch da... Read More about Living risk prediction algorithm (QCOVID) for risk of hospital admission and mortality from coronavirus 19 in adults: National derivation and validation cohort study.
Protocol for take-home naloxone In multicentre emergency (TIME) settings: Feasibility study (2020)
Journal Article
Background: Opioids, such as heroin, kill more people worldwide by overdose than any other type of drug, and death rates associated with opioid poisoning in the UK are at record levels (World Drug Report 2018 [Internet]. [cited 2019 Nov 19]. Availabl... Read More about Protocol for take-home naloxone In multicentre emergency (TIME) settings: Feasibility study.
Pre-hospital assessment of minor trauma in the older adult (Silver MinT) (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
The UK population is growing and getting older; in 2018 there were nearly 12 million people aged 65 and above in the UK. The rate of people living with dementia is also increasing, with figures suggesting that 1 in 14 people over the age of 65 (7%) a...

Updated framework on quality and safety in emergency medicine (2020)
Journal Article
Objectives Quality and safety of emergency care is critical. Patients rely on emergency medicine (EM) for accessible, timely and high-quality care in addition to providing a ‘safety-net’ function. Demand is increasing, creating resource challenges in... Read More about Updated framework on quality and safety in emergency medicine.
Limit of detection of troponin discharge strategy versus usual care: Randomised controlled trial (2020)
Journal Article
Introduction The clinical effectiveness of a a € rule-out' acute coronary syndrome (ACS) strategy for emergency department patients with chest pain, incorporating a single undetectable high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) taken at presentation,... Read More about Limit of detection of troponin discharge strategy versus usual care: Randomised controlled trial.
Observational cost-effectiveness analysis using routine data: Admission and discharge care bundles for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (2020)
Journal Article
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a prevalent respiratory disease, and accounts for a substantial proportion of unplanned hospital admissions. Care bundles for COPD are a set of standardised, evidence-based interventions tha...
