Our paper in Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice suggests optimising #lipid monitoring frequency by baseline #LDL‑C levels for primary prevention of #cardiovascular disease #CVD in patients with type 2 #diabetes #T2DM. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

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…

Proud to share my PhD student @SongS033's excellent research letter in @CMIJournal showing a much milder prognosis of myocarditis after mRNA vaccination at 2 years compared to historically seen cases before the pandemic! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Happy to share our study on global Clostridioides difficile infection treatment trends in International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents. Use of fidaxomicin and oral vancomycin is rising globally, but access remains unequal across regions and incomes. 🔗 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our multinational database study in @eClinicalMed compared antihypertensive prescribing trends in Hong Kong, United Kingdom, Sweden, and Australia, providing evidence on the use of blood pressure-lowering drugs before and after a diagnosis of dementia. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our new meta-analysis in Hypertension Research confirms Sacubitril/Valsartan effectively reduces both office and out-of-office blood pressure. This was a fantastic international collaboration with our colleagues at Chulalongkorn University. nature.com/articles/s4144…

Antiseizure medications consumption in 73 countries and regions from 2... sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Our Aston U, HKU, UCL, WHO study shows that inequities in access to newer antiseizure drugs in developing countries where valproate used a lot. Good risk management is needed

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 @CMAJ study found a less stringent #risk threshold of 30% for intensifying #PrimaryCare encounters frequency is associated with increased overall #CVD risks and all-cause #mortality of aged 60+ #T2DM patients, but not for those below 60. cmaj.ca/content/197/32…

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 age-specific models accurately predicted the post-acute #mortality risk within 1 year of #COVID infection, optimizing clinical strategies and resource allocation in global burden of #LongCOVID management. Published on @_qjm_. academic.oup.com/qjmed/article/…

Our simulation model supports the cost-effectiveness of PSA screening in China. Personalised screening based on genetic risk may provide an efficient alternative to uniform strategies by reducing unnecessary interventions for lower risk individual.sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

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 #EJPC paper found that the Risk Assessment and Management Programme for #Hypertension (RAMP-HT) supplementing usual care associated with reduced relative risk of #CVD and all-cause #mortality in HT patients compared to those receiving usual care only. academic.oup.com/eurjpc/article…

Thrilled to share our study in The Lancet Psychiatry @TheLancet ! Deep gratitude to Dr. Lai @FranciscoTTLai1 for his guidance in this research and my PhD process. Using Hong Kong data, we reveal new evidence on clozapine use and infections. 💊
