Delighted to share the first output from my @NIHRresearch PhD @UCL_IHI
We conducted a trial emulation using UK primary care data to examine the real-world effectiveness of SGLT2 inhibitors in #type2diabetes
Here is a brief 🧵: 1/8

⚖️ The priority now: equitable access
There are disparities in prescribing of SGLT2i - particularly affecting women and people from minority ethnic backgrounds.
Real-world evidence can inform guidelines.
But equitable implementation improves outcomes.
7/8
UK pharmacovigilence study:
✅️ Apixaban has the safest profile for GI bleed compared to all other DOAC
✅️ More GI bleeds in women vs men, especially with Dabigatran
❎️ No data on dosage, antiplatelet use, history of GI bleed

Great collaborating with Prof Bunker @HealthySkin4All @uclh - looking at signals for SJS/TEN associated with ibuprofen. ⚠️High signal for association in spontaneous drug reports 🟨 but could be 🔁reverse causality or 🔀co-causality #dermatology#pharmacovigilance#pharmacoepi

Superb work being done by @pearsekeane and team @Moorfields
An #opensource foundational model, trained on retinal images, that can identify both eye and systemic diseases. 👁️❤️🧠
As a general medic, this is fascinating! Will the retina be a key part of future diagnostics?

🚨🚨 New paper alert 🚨🚨
Introducing RETFound, a foundation model for ophthalmology
We’re super excited about this and hope it will act as a #Cornerstone for global efforts to prevent blindness through #AI@UCLeye@Moorfields#OpenAccess@Nature

@DrBenLovell Favourite city in the world! 🗽 Museums: the met, MoMA, the frick collection. Bars: Marie's crisis cafe (a must!), le bain (sunday evening is best). Random: high line, DUMBO, river boat, smorgasburg, Roosevelt Island tramway. Restaurants: Red rooster Harlem, Jack's wife Freda
Looking forward to swapping Neave's statistical tables for @PioneerDJglobal's table this weekend following my @LSHTM#medstats exams this week. Glad to have some degree of freedom for a while 🎧☀️⛱
