Journal Article
Monahan, M., Jowett, S., Lovibond, K., Gill, P., Godwin, M., Greenfield, S., Hanley, J., Hobbs, F. R., Martin, U., Mant, J., McKinstry, B., Williams, B., Sheppard, J. P., & McManus, R. J. (2017). Predicting Out-of-Office Blood Pressure in the Clinic for the Diagnosis of Hypertension in Primary Care: An Economic Evaluation. Hypertension, https://doi.org/10.1161/hypertensionaha.117.10244

Clinical guidelines in the United States and United Kingdom recommend that individuals with suspected hypertension should have ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring to confirm the diagnosis. This approach reduces misdiagnosis because of white coa...

PLOS ONE, 11(12), Article e0168321. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0168321

Introduction
The Bland-Altman limits of agreement method is widely used to assess how well the measurements produced by two raters, devices or systems agree with each other. However, mixed effects versions of the method which take into account multi...

Oximetry-supported self-management for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: mixed method feasibility pilot project (2015)
Journal Article
MacNab, M., Lee, S. H., McCloughan, L., Hanley, J., McKinstry, B., & Pinnock, H. (2017). Oximetry-supported self-management for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: mixed method feasibility pilot project. BMC Health Services Research, 15(1), https://doi.org/10.1186/s12913-015-1135-2

Background: Pulse oximetry could potentially contribute to self-monitoring. NHS Lothian’s ‘Light Touch’ service
provided COPD patients with a self-management plan based on symptoms and oximetry. The service was overseen
(though not actively monitor... Read More about Oximetry-supported self-management for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: mixed method feasibility pilot project.
