Proud to share PhD student @clairewei0830's excellent IMRD study on glaucoma risks from topiramate in UK primary care - elevated risks identified in women and those living with epilepsy, not migraine! Published open-access in @EpilepsiaJourn onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ep…

Very excited to share that our letter has just been published in @CMIJournal. Many thanks to my supervisor, Dr Francisco Lai, and all coauthors and colleagues for their support.

Delighted to share our latest study led by my PhD student @clairewei0830 examining the potential anticancer effect of valproate in bipolar disorder - our findings do not support this hypothesis despite promising signals from prvious preclinical studies bmcpsychiatry.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Happy to share our study on Pneumococcal disease epidemiology on International Journal of Infectious Diseases: Children and adolescents had an elevated risk of gaining antimicrobial resistance, suggesting more measures to reduce S. pneumoniae infections ijidonline.com/article/S1201-…

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…

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 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 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 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 World Psychiatry (IF=65.8) @WPA_Psychiatry Letter on a new cohort study led by @TTlucky25611 and myself @CSMPR_HKUPharm @HkuPharm @hkumed @HKUniversity showing a rare elevated risk of gynecologic cancers after prolactin-increasing antipsychotic use 🥂 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wp…

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…

My lab's latest study shows that post-COVID multimorbidity incidence in people with 1 pre-existing condition is up 26% with a rate diff. of ~2/100 PYs - but prior vaccination offsets this risk increase substantially! Available in Journal of Infection now! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

My lab’s latest @TheLancet Psychiatry study showing increased infections following clozapine use; excellent work by my student @YuqiHu_ and the rest of my team, with special thanks to psychiatry, family medicine, & pharmacy colleagues & collaborators 🥂 thelancet.com/journals/lanps…

Our 10-Year Retrospective Cohort Studies in UK and HK finds that younger age of #hypertension onset is associated with higher risks for #cardiovascular events and #mortality. Paper published on Journal of Primary Care & Community Health @SageJournals. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/21…
