The Respiratory Translational Research Collaboration is pleased to support this report from @asthmalunguk We need the government and key stakeholders, including funders of research and innovation, to take much needed action on these 10 priorities to fix lung research

📢 SPREAD THE WORD - WE HAVE STARTED👍 So excited 😊 🌟 #PHOSP_I Tozilizumab for inflammatory #LongCovid non-hosp & hosp @NikkiS_MCSFS @JennyBunker @long_covid @PHOSP_COVID 🌟 1st participant randomised 🙏 https://t.co/N05uM6Tnmi 🌟 15 UK sites https://t.co/6NJeaM8bfG 👇

We are currently recruiting a PhD student to investigate the circadian metabolome as part of the University of Manchester MRC DTP program. Great opportunity to work as part of an interdisciplinary team with the dept. of chemistry.

We’re proud to share our ambitious research strategy for the next five years, our mission is to reduce respiratory morbidity and mortality by 20%. Our Director of Research + Innovation, @Samtwick is here to tell you more. Read the strategy on our website: https://t.co/HzoXMdQgmf

NEW Research—Sleep disturbance after hospitalisation for #COVID19 is associated w/ dyspnoea, anxiety, & muscle weakness. Targeting sleep disturbance might be beneficial in treating the #postCOVID19condition From Callum Jackson & colleagues https://t.co/MrZE9WvoMg #ECCMID

Thanks to all involved in the study especially the participants who took part, the funders @The_MRC @asthmalunguk @NIHRresearch the PHOSP consortium @PHOSP_COVID and the authors who helped write the paper.

As ever more questions than answers. These associations are not the same as causation. Would sleep interventions help identify the underlying mechanisms or improve symptoms? Looking forward to the discussion at #ECCMID23 today in the late breaking Lancet session

Anxiety and muscle function are both recognised causes of breathlessness. Mediation analysis revealed that these factors could mediate some (18-41%) of the association between sleep disturbance and breathlessness.

Sleep Quality, Deterioration in sleep quality after COVID-19 hospitalisation and lower sleep regularity were all associated with breathlessness, lower lung function and reduced SARC-F scores. Whilst subjective sleep metrics were also associated with anxiety.

Device-based metrics revealed that participants slept on average 65 minutes longer, had lower sleep efficiency (3.8 percentage points) and a 19% reduction in their sleep regularity index compared to a matched UK biobank cohort who had been recently hospitalised. Blue=COVID

The findings were broadly consistent regardless of what type of measurement was used. Firstly, sleep disturbance is common in post COVID-19 syndrome with 62% of participants reporting poor sleep quality at 5 months. This is likely to persist for at least 12 months.

Our study investigating if sleep disturbance is associated with post COVID-19 breathlessness published yesterday in Lancet Respiratory Medicine will be presented at ECCMID today. This large multi-centre study used both subjective and device-based measures.
