Prevalence of colonisation with multi-drug-resistant Gram-negative organisms in pregnant and postpartum women and people in low- and middle-income countries: A protocol for a systematic review. Open
Background Maternal infections are a significant cause of mortality and morbidity in LMICs, and the rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a growing threat to global maternal health. Multi-drug resistant Gram negative bacteria (MDR-G…

Comparing short‐term mortality between people with and without <span>HIV</span> admitted to the intensive care unit: A single‐centre matched cohort study (2000–2019) Open
Objectives The survival rate of people with HIV admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) is approaching that of people without HIV. We conducted a matched‐cohort study of people with and without HIV admitted to ICU at a large hospital to co…

Community methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus outbreaks in areas of low prevalence Open
The findings emphasise the complexity of CO-MRSA transmission and the necessity of a multifaceted approach in low-prevalence areas. This includes integrated and systematic surveillance of hospital-onset-, CO-, and livestock-associated MRSA…

Changes in short-term (in-ICU and in-hospital) mortality following intensive care unit admission in adults living with HIV: 2000–2019 Open
Objective: Limited data suggest intensive care unit (ICU) outcomes have improved in people with HIV (PWH). We describe trends in in-ICU/in-hospital mortality among PWH following admission to ICU in a single UK-based HIV referral centre, fr…

Estimating the risk of mortality attributable to recent late <span>HIV</span> diagnosis following admission to the intensive care unit: A single‐centre observational cohort study Open
Objectives Despite improvements in survival of people with HIV admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), late diagnosis continues to contribute to in‐ICU mortality. We quantify the population attributable fraction (PAF) of in‐ICU mortalit…

Reducing the risk of tuberculosis transmission for HCWs in high incidence settings Open
Globally, tuberculosis (TB) is a leading cause of death from a single infectious agent. Healthcare workers (HCWs) are at increased risk of hospital-acquired TB infection due to persistent exposure to Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( Mtb ) in h…

Incidence and significance of an elevated red blood cell distribution width among hospitalised HIV-infected adult patients Open
We audited the records of unselected hospitalised HIV-positive adults admitted to a University-affiliated inner London hospital to identify the frequency of elevated red blood cell distribution width (RDW), and potential associations with …
