A 5 item version of the Compliance Questionnaire for Rheumatology (CQR5) successfully identifies low adherence to DMARDs
Hughes, Lyndsay D.; Done, D.J.; Young, Adam (2013-10)Taking DMARDs as prescribed is an essential part of self-management for patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis. To date, the Compliance Questionnaire for Rheumatology (CQR) is the only self-report adherence measure created ... -
Added sugars and micronutrient dilution
Livingstone, M.B.E.; Rennie, K.L. (2009)There is increasing concern that high intakes of added sugars promote micronutrient dilution. However, the overall conclusion to emerge from the existing evidence base is that associations between reported intakes of added ... -

Assessment of the spatial pattern of colorectal tumour perfusion estimated at perfusion CT using two-dimensional fractal analysis
Goh, V.; Sanghera, B.; Wellsted, D.; Sundin, J.; Halligan, S. (2009)The aim was to evaluate the feasibility of fractal analysis for assessing the spatial pattern of colorectal tumour perfusion at dynamic contrast-enhanced CT (perfusion CT). Twenty patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma ... -
Assessment of tumor heterogeneity by CT texture analysis : Can the largest cross-sectional area be used as an alternative to whole tumor analysis?
Ng, Francesca; Kozarski, Robert; Ganeshan, Balaji; Goh, Vicky (2013)To determine if there is a difference between contrast enhanced CT texture features from the largest cross-sectional area versus the whole tumor, and its effect on clinical outcome prediction. Methods: Entropy (E) and ... -
An association between depressive symptoms and survival in incident dialysis patients
Chilcot, Joseph; Davenport, Andrew; Wellsted, D.; Firth, John; Farrington, Ken (2011)Depression in end-stage renal disease patients is detrimental to quality of life, and is also associated with adverse clinical outcomes. The aim of this study was to examine whether depression symptoms in 'incident dialysis' ... -
An Association between Residual Renal Function and Depression Symptoms in Haemodialysis Patients
Chilcot, J.; Wellsted, D.; Vilar, Enric; Farrington, Ken (2009)Background: The loss of residual renal function (RRF) and subsequent urine volume among haemodialysis (HD) patients may influence affect. Although RRF has been associated with improved patient outcome, its relationship ... -
