In our #multinational study in @JInternMed, #statin initiation may be associated with increased risk of incident #MyastheniaGravis #MG during the first 6–12 months, with a greater magnitude of risk elevation for higher intensity of statin therapy. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jo…

Our @AnnalsofIM paper found that #statins initiation associates with reductions of all-cause #mortality & #CVD in #T2DM adults, including low-risk groups. Results suggest statins initiation in T2DM adults even when short-term predicted CVD #risk is low. acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/AN…

Excited to share our latest study in @LancetRH_WPac : Psychotropic medication consumption increased globally after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, with variations in consumption patterns observed across different countries. @Esther_CSMPRHKU thelancet.com/journals/lanwp…

Excited to share our latest study in @TheLancet: long-acting injectable antipsychotics (LAIAs) are more effective than oral and equally safe for older people, except for higher risk of EPS with typical LAIAs, but not with atypical LAIAs. @Esther_CSMPRHKU thelancet.com/journals/lanps…

Our modified self-controlled case series (dx.doi.org/10.1002/pds.70…) did not identify an increased #ischemic_stroke risk with #PPI_monotherapy. However, co-prescription with #antithrombotics was associated with a higher risk. Careful monitoring is needed for them. @ChuiCeline

Our @JACCJournals paper found that #statin use for primary #prevention was associated in all-cause #mortality and major #CVD reductions with a very low risk of adverse effects among #T1DM adults, guiding personalized statin #treatment decisions in T1DM. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our study, the largest conducted to date examining various classes of antihypertensive drugs and dementia risk. We found a lower risk of all-cause dementia with ARBs compared to ACE inhibitors. Hong Kong, UK, Sweden, and Australia data included. doi.org/10.1093/ageing…

In this study Vincent Ka Chun Yan and colleagues investigate the prescribing trends of indapamide and the long term comparative effectiveness of modified release versus immediate release indapamide. Read the full research article here: bit.ly/4bnRjc6

A great collaboration between UCL, University of Dundee and HKU. Congratulations to @VincentKCYan @ChengshengJ Tom MacDonald, Isla Mackenzie, Rob Flynn, Bryan Williams, Yang Chen, Esther Chan, Jacob George & Li Wei for the publication of indapamide study bmjmedicine.bmj.com/content/4/1/e0…

Our last but not least paper about Covid published at BMJ Public Health - re-infection posed greater risk for hospitalization and mortality compared with first-time infection. Prevention is the still the key ⁦@CSMPR_HKUPharm⁩ ⁦@VincentKCYan⁩ bmjpublichealth.bmj.com/content/3/1/e0…

Our study in @CancerMedicineJ showed an increased risks of CVDs and mortality in cancer patients. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ca…

Our study in @NatureComms found an increased risk of myasthenia gravis six months after statin initiation, but no heightened risk during the following 18 months. doi.org/10.1038/s41467…
