Journal ArticleDOI
A new improved graphical and quantitative method for detecting bias in meta-analysis
TL;DR: A new graphical method, the Doi plot, to visualize asymmetry and also a new measure, the LFK index, to detect and quantify asymmetry of study effects in Doi plots are proposed and demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Co-distribution and co-infection of chikungunya and dengue viruses
Luis Furuya-Kanamori,Shaohong Liang,Gabriel J. Milinovich,Ricardo J. Soares Magalhães,Archie C. A. Clements,Wenbiao Hu,Patrícia Brasil,Francesca D. Frentiu,Rebecca Dunning,Laith Yakob +9 more
TL;DR: The geographic limits of chikungunya, dengue and the principal mosquito vectors for both viruses are determined to synthesise current epidemiological understanding of their co-distribution and to describe regions of co-endemicity in which lab-based diagnosis of suspected cases is of higher priority.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymptomatic Clostridium difficile colonization: epidemiology and clinical implications
Luis Furuya-Kanamori,John Marquess,Laith Yakob,Thomas V. Riley,David L. Paterson,Niki F. Foster,Charlotte A. Huber,Archie C. A. Clements +7 more
TL;DR: The role of asymptomatic C. difficile colonization in the progression to symptomatic CDI is reviewed, the epidemiology is described, the effectiveness of screening and intensive infection control practices for patients at risk of asynchronic CDI are assessed, and the implications for clinical practice are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of Differentiated Thyroid Cancer in Autopsy Studies Over Six Decades: A Meta-Analysis
TL;DR: It is confirmed that iDTC is common, but the observed increasing incidence is not mirrored by prevalence within autopsy studies and, therefore, is unlikely to reflect a true population-level increase in tumorigenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comorbidities, exposure to medications, and the risk of community-acquired clostridium difficile infection: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Luis Furuya-Kanamori,Jennifer C. Stone,Justin Clark,Samantha J. McKenzie,Laith Yakob,David L. Paterson,Thomas V. Riley,Suhail A.R. Doi,Archie C. A. Clements +8 more
TL;DR: Antimicrobial exposure was the strongest risk factor associated with CA-CDI, and patients with diarrhea who have inflammatory bowel disease, renal failure, hematologic cancer, or diabetes are appropriate populations for interventional studies of screening.
