For people receiving haemodialysis, a balance has to be struck between removing sufficient but not too much fluid during a treatment session and maintaining any remaining kidney function they might have. In the BISTRO trial, this study sought to esta... Read More about Public and patient involvement (PPI) in the design, execution and dissemination of a trial: the BISTRO trial.

Depression and anxiety in people with kidney disease: understanding symptom variability, patient experience and preferences for mental health support. (2025)

Multimorbidity clusters and their associations with health-related quality of life in two UK cohorts (2025)
Journal Article

Background: Identifying clusters of multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs), also known as multimorbidity, and their associated burden may facilitate the development of effective and cost-effective targeted healthcare strategies. This study aimed to id... Read More about Multimorbidity clusters and their associations with health-related quality of life in two UK cohorts.

Centre-level fluid management practices in the BISTRO trial and their lack of association with participant fluid status and blood pressure in non-anuric haemodialysis patients (2024)

Association of latent class analysis-derived multimorbidity clusters with adverse health outcomes in patients with multiple long-term conditions: comparative results across three UK cohorts (2024)
Journal Article

Background
It remains unclear how to meaningfully classify people living with multimorbidity (multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs)), beyond counting the number of conditions. This paper aims to identify clusters...
