Fifty-nine semi-structured in-depth intervie…
Patient and Public Involvement in Research Evaluating Integrated Care for People Experiencing Homelessness
INTRODUCTION: There is a paucity of research on and a limited understanding of patient and public involvement (PPI) in the context of research in homelessness and, in particular, direct involvement of people with lived and living experience of homelessness (PEH) as expert advisors. We aim to report on outcomes and reflections from lived experience advisory panel (LEAP) meetings and PPI activities, held throughout the study lifecycle of a pilot ra…
Comprehensive assessment of pain characteristics, quality of life, and pain management in cancer patients
In conclusion, this study highlights the multi-faceted nature of pain management and QoL for cancer patients in Nepal with low-resource settings. These findings underscore the multifactorial nature of pain perception in cancer patients, with mixed pain types, pain in multiple sites, lower KPS, and specific cancer diagnoses, all contributing significantly to pain severity. Additionally, pain severity was associated with declining QoL. These findin…
Hospital Admission Trends Due to Viral Infections Characterised by Skin and Mucous Membrane Lesions in the Past Two Decades in England and Wales
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the trends in hospital admissions due to viral infections characterized by skin and mucous membrane lesions in England and Wales between 1999 and 2019. Methods: This is an ecological study using publicly available databases in England and Wales; the Hospital Episode Statistics database in England and the Patient Episode Database for Wales.

Hospital Admissions Due to Ischemic Heart Diseases and Prescriptions of Cardiovascular Diseases Medications in England and Wales in the Past Two Decades
The rate of hospitalisation due to IHD has decreased in England and Wales during the past two decades. Hospitalisation due to IHD was strongly and negatively correlated with the increase in the rates of dispensing of IHD-related medications. Other factors contributing to this decline could be the increase in controlling IHD risk factors during the past few years. Future studies exploring other risk factors that are associated with IHD hospitalisa…

Data were transcribed verbatim and analysed thematically using framework …
Research priorities in healthcare of persons experiencing homelessness
Maximising access to services, prevention of early deaths linked to drugs and alcohol, and identifying effective and ineffective policies and programmes were identified as priority research areas in relation to healthcare of PEH. The outcomes of this discussion will enable design and conduct of interdisciplinary research programmes to address the syndemics of homelessness and linked adverse health outcomes. Priorities identified here are likely t…
