The findings of this new study do not support a direct effect of gabapentinoid treatment on self-harm but underscore the necessity for close patient monitoring of self-harm throughout the gabapentinoid treatment journey @KennethKCMan bmj.com/content/389/bm…

Treatment with gabapentinoids isn't directly associated with an increased risk of self-harm, finds this study. However, rates of self-harm were higher before and shortly after treatment, highlighting the need for close monitoring of patients @KennethKCMan bmj.com/content/389/bm…

New in @bmj_latest: Gabapentinoid treatment not directly linked to increased self-harm risk. Risk is highest before and after treatment—not during. Close monitoring needed across the full treatment journey. Read more: bmj.com/content/389/bm…

Metformin was associated with a lower rate of asthma attacks, with further reductions with the use of GLP-1RA. ja.ma/3UQckFp

A very nice study by @BoheeLEE4 and @chloebloom using multiple study designs (self-controlled case series & cohort analysis) showed consistent results: metformin lowered asthma attack risk by ~30%, with GLP-1RA adding 40%. A robust approach to observational data!

Great study lead by @fredho42 looked into factors contributing to the association between deprivation and infant death. Targeting moderating factors may mitigate some the effects but will not stem the rise in infant mortality. #heathinequalities sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@2011YJ Thanks 😁

@KennethKCMan congratulations!

I was an ad-hoc reviewer in June 2023 and then was invited to be an ERC core member in Feb 2024. Happy to take one step further as ERC chair for CPRD.

Our new @OHDSI study in Lancet Psychiatry found that the prescribing rates of anxiolytics during the COVID-19 pandemic were persistently elevated, underscore the importance of enhanced mental health support and regular review of psychotropic drug use in the post-pandemic era.
