Quantitative interferon-gamma releasing assay in predicting tuberculosis in South Korean military: a retrospective cohor...
...The interferon-gamma releasing assay (IGRA) has been widely used to diagnose latent tuberculosis infection (TBI). However, there are limited data on the association between performance in the IGRA and risk of tuberculosis disease (TBD), as well as on the appropriate IGRA threshold for initiating TBI treatment. The analysis was performed using the I...

Acute kidney injury in Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia: a recurrent events analysis.
To estimate risk factors for acute kidney injury (AKI) and the effect of AKI on mortality in Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia, while taking into account recurrent AKI episodes, competing risks, time-varying variables, and time-varying effects. We performed an unplanned analysis using data from a multicentre cohort study of patients with Staphyloco...
Factors associated with SARS-CoV-2 testing, diagnosis and COVID-19 disease among individuals prescribed opioid-agonist t...
...
Among people receiving opioid-agonist treatment (OAT), the risk of COVID-19 infection and disease may be higher owing to underlying health problems and vulnerable social circumstances. We aimed to determine whether recent OAT, when compared with past exposure, affected the risk of (i) testing for SARS-CoV-2, (ii) testing positive for SARS-CoV-2, an...
Epidemiology of Escherichia coli bloodstream infection antimicrobial resistance trends across South West England during ...
