I finally had the chance to wear this indescribable gown! 🎓 After some delays due to Covid, a baby 👶, and clinical work, I have graduated with a PhD in Epidemiology from UoM Biology, Medicine and Health! The University of Manchester 🎉

If you’re at #IASP #WC2024 please come see my #CHIPP #APDP #UKBiobank poster number 187 today! I’ll be presenting from 3:15 to 4:45pm. Centre for Epidemiology Versus Arthritis UKBIOBANK UKBIOBANK

Our work on factors associated w/ long term opioids in AxSpa & psoriatic arthritis patients who were new starters out in Rheumatology & Rheumatology Advances in Practice Using UK primary care EHRs, some included 🚬 Current smoking 📶 Social deprivation 🫁🫀comorbidities ++ 😣 fibromyalgia academic.oup.com/rheumatology/a…

🏥 How can health data advance arthritis research? For Arthritis Digest, Louise Cook, Prof Will Dixon and Dr Meghna Jani from our Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Diseases theme discuss how the analysis of existing health data can unlock new knowledge 👇 📰 manchesterbrc.nihr.ac.uk/news-and-event…

‘Healthcare providers can often overlook adverse events, focusing more on disease’ Ruby McKenna Centre for Epidemiology Versus Arthritis talks her #PhD work on adverse effects to #methotrexate in #JIA Great #PPIE work shown here too! #UKRIME24

Always fascinating to hear from Dr Ash Cox What a journey to academia from sneaking into the army at 15 to many undergrad and postgrad degrees and now at Centre for Epidemiology Versus Arthritis Looking forward to mixed methods research to come on #juvenile rheumatic diseases and education #UKRIME24

New paper ✨ As part of an international collaboration between UK, Canada & US we evaluated the risk of death between different prescribed opioids in people with non-cancer pain (Spoiler: Type of opioid & daily dose matter💊) journals.lww.com/pain/fulltext/… w/ Will Dixon David Bates

How common are use of over the counter supplements, pain relief & sleep aids in rheumatology patients? We surveyed ~800 people attending our rheum clinics using 📱💻 >80% took pain relief meds- either OTC, on prescription or borrowed Some insights👇 🔗 academic.oup.com/rheumap/articl…

Today, we presented the revised SDI project updates at the Lupus Foundation of America board meeting. Big thanks to LFA for their wonderful hospitality! We're one step closer to completing the revised SDI! #lupus #ACR24

SDI ranges from 0-47, but most patients scored 0-3, with 50% scoring 0. To address this floor effect, can damage items be graded by severity in a revised organ damage index for #Lupus? Find out at Hall C, 10:30-12:30 on 18.11.2024. #ACR24

Grateful for the incredible opportunity to present our research on clinical prediction models for opioid-related hospitalisations in the UK at #ACR2024. Huge thanks to Meghna Jani, @AuriolesJose, David A Jenkins, @NielsPeek, Will Dixon, #MarkLunt, National Institute for Health and Care Research, and #FOREUM!
