The prevalence of ARC, asthma, and eczema in adults increased between 2010 and 2019, while rates of ARC and asthma declined among children. Other allergies were found to significantly increase the likelihood of developing asthma, eczema, and ARC. #RWE.

A study investigated Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia. The prevalence increased from 2.83 per 100,000 in 2000 to 6.27 in 2021. Patients were found to have higher odds of experiencing depression and anxiety before and after HSP diagnosis. #RWE.

A new study examined the burden of ARLD. The prevalence increased from 154 per 100,000 in 2009 to 243 per 100,000 in 2020. All-cause mortality was higher among individuals with ARLD compared to those without liver disease, particularly in women. #RWE.

A study investigated 17 autoimmune disorders and pregnant women. There was an prevalence increase from 3.5% in 2000 to 4.7% in 2021. Psoriasis was the most common among the disorders. These findings highlight the need to address existing gaps. #RWE.

Using Dexter to extract the cohort, a new study identified an increased risk of mental health conditions among individuals diagnosed with allergic and atopic disorders. Notably, the risk of anxiety was the highest. #RWE.

Among more than 40,000 people living with HIV, the prevalence of anaemia rose from 4.6% in 2002 to 7.42% in 2021. The findings indicate a growing burden of anaemia among those living with HIV, highlighting the need for targeted prevention efforts. #RWE.

We are pleased to announce our collaboration as part of the Policing Academic Centres of Excellence. This initiative will strengthen the relationship between researchers and police forces, with the overarching goal of making Britain a safer place. #RWE.

A mixed-methods study conducted data extraction from EHRs using Dexter. A novel methodology was developed to identify severity phenotypes within EHRs for diabetes, ischaemic heart disease, CKD, and peripheral vascular disease. #RWE #DigitalHealth.

Patients with uveitis were identified and found they had a threefold increased risk of developing MS compared to those without uveitis. The association between these two autoimmune conditions presents opportunities for novel treatment approaches. #RWE.

A risk prediction tool for diagnosing IBD in individuals with abdominal symptoms was developed. The model predicted IBD, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn’s disease at symptoms onset. This will help patients have personalised care depending on risk. #IBD.

The recent Rewired conference focused on advancing healthcare through technology. Dexter streamlines routine tasks such as reports, clinical audits, and quality improvement, ultimately saving time and improving care at both local and national levels. #REWIRED25

We're excited to share that Dexter will attend Digital Health Rewired, taking place March 18-19 at the NEC. We look forward to connecting with NHS stakeholders. If you're attending and would like to learn more, feel free to reach out!. #REWIRED25 #RWE.

Dexter recently attended the UoBs Digital Health Business Networking Event, where discussions centred on the transformative use of health data to improve patient outcomes and reduce health inequalities. We discussed new opportunities to drive meaningful impact. #RWE

Dexter are members of the HOPE-WM collaboration. We are positioned to leverage electronic health records from primary care and maternal clinics to identify inequalities, evaluate the effectiveness of interventions, and support healthcare professionals by automating routine tasks.

A study investigated CAR T-cell therapy in patients with large B-cell lymphoma. While outcomes were comparable across all groups after infusion, increased drop-out rates and referral barriers in deprived areas warrant further investigation. #RWE.

This year, we’ve made significant strides by collaborating with partners, expanded our presence at conferences and proudly contributing to several scientific publications. A highlight has been our expansion into secondary care data. Here’s to a more impactful year ahead!. #RWE.

A study revealed that OSAS was linked to an increased risk of developing both all-cause dementia and vascular dementia. The findings highlight the need for further research to explore screening for cognitive impairment in patients with OSAS. #RWE.

An abstract in The Lancet showed health inequalities in the diagnosis of 275 chronic conditions. The study highlighted disparities in diagnosis rates across ethnic groups, with Black, Asian, and mixed ethnicities showing lower diagnosis rates. #RWE.
