Combined RT-PCR and Host Response Point-of-Care Testing in Patients Hospitalised with Suspected COVID-19: A Prospective Diagnostic Accuracy Study
Brendish N, Tanner A, Poole S, Beard K, Naidu V, Mansbridge C, et al.
Infect Dis Ther . 2022 May; 11(3):1267-1280. PMID: 35534764
Introduction: RT-PCR has suboptimal sensitivity for the diagnosis of COVID-19. A composite reference standard comprising RT-PCR plus radiological and clinical features has been recommended for diagnostic accuracy studies. The FebriDx...

Clinical impact of a routine, molecular, point-of-care, test-and-treat strategy for influenza in adults admitted to hospital (FluPOC): a multicentre, open-label, randomised controlled trial
Clark T, Beard K, Brendish N, Malachira A, Mills S, Chan C, et al.
Lancet Respir Med . 2020 Dec; 9(4):419-429. PMID: 33285143
Background: Diagnosis of influenza in patients admitted to hospital is delayed due to long turnaround times with laboratory testing, leading to inappropriate and late antiviral treatment and isolation facility use....

Clinical impact of molecular point-of-care testing for suspected COVID-19 in hospital (COV-19POC): a prospective, interventional, non-randomised, controlled study
Brendish N, Poole S, Naidu V, Mansbridge C, Norton N, Wheeler H, et al.
Lancet Respir Med . 2020 Oct; 8(12):1192-1200. PMID: 33038974
Background: The management of the COVID-19 pandemic is hampered by long delays associated with centralised laboratory PCR testing. In hospitals, these delays lead to poor patient flow and nosocomial transmission....

Clinical characteristics, symptoms and outcomes of 1054 adults presenting to hospital with suspected COVID-19: A comparison of patients with and without SARS-CoV-2 infection
Brendish N, Poole S, Naidu V, Mansbridge C, Norton N, Borca F, et al.
J Infect . 2020 Sep; 81(6):937-943. PMID: 32998038
Objectives: Most reports describing the characteristics of patients hospitalised with COVID-19 lack a comparator group. We compared clinical characteristics, symptoms, and outcomes of adults presenting to hospital during the pandemic...

Diagnostic accuracy of the FebriDx host response point-of-care test in patients hospitalised with suspected COVID-19
Clark T, Brendish N, Poole S, Naidu V, Mansbridge C, Norton N, et al.
J Infect . 2020 Jun; 81(4):607-613. PMID: 32579983
Introduction: Management of the COVID-19 pandemic is hampered by long delays associated with centralised laboratory PCR testing. In hospitals this leads to poor patient flow and nosocomial transmission and so...

Patient perceived barriers to exercise and their clinical associations in difficult asthma
Freeman A, Hill D, Newell C, Moyses H, Azim A, Knight D, et al.
Asthma Res Pract . 2020 Jun; 6:5. PMID: 32537235
Background: Exercise is recommended in guidelines for asthma management and has beneficial effects on symptom control, inflammation and lung function in patients with sub-optimally controlled asthma. Despite this, physical activity...
