Diagnosis and prognosis

Portrait image of Dave Evenden

Dave is a visiting research fellow at the University of Southampton. Previously Dave was a Chartered Engineer in contract R&D, working with high-tech communications systems and medical electronics for over 30 years. Embarking on a career change, he completed his PhD ‘Modelling the Future of Dementia Care in Wessex’ in 2018.

Working with colleagues, Dave is currently exploring the relationships between the progression of cognitive and functional decline in dementia, neuroimaging regions of interest (ROIs), and several other biomarkers relating neuro-inflammatory pathways and Alzheimer’s Disease pathology.

He is skilled in data analytics, simulation and modelling, and systems engineering.

Incidence of diabetes mellitus following hospitalisation for COVID-19 in the United Kingdom: A prospective observational study
Tyrer F, Gharibzadeh S, Gillies C, Lawson C, Routen A, Islam N, Razieh C, Zaccardi F, Yates T, Davies MJ, Brightling CE, Chalmers JD, Docherty AB, Elneima O, Evans RA, Greening NJ, Harris VC, Harrison EM, Ho LP, Horsley A, Houchen-Wolloff L, Leavy OC, Lone NI, Marks M, McAuley HJC, Poinasamy K, Quint JK, Raman B, Richardson M, Saunders R, Sereno M, Shikotra A, Singapuri A, Wain LV, Khunti K and
People hospitalised for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have elevated incidence of diabetes. However, it is unclear whether this is due to shared risk factors, confounding or stress hyperglycaemia in response to acute illness.
Cohort Profile: Post-Hospitalisation COVID-19 (PHOSP-COVID) study
Elneima O, McAuley HJC, Leavy OC, Chalmers JD, Horsley A, Ho LP, Marks M, Poinasamy K, Raman B, Shikotra A, Singapuri A, Sereno M, Harris VC, Houchen-Wolloff L, Saunders RM, Greening NJ, Richardson M, Quint JK, Briggs A, Docherty AB, Kerr S, Harrison EM, Lone NI, Thorpe M, Heaney LG, Lewis KE, Aul R, Beirne P, Bolton CE, Brown JS, Choudhury G, Bakerly ND, Easom N, Echevarria C, Fuld J, Hart N, Hurst JR, Jones MG, Parekh D, Pfeffer P, Rahman NM, Rowland-Jones SL, Thompson AR, Jolley C, Shah AM, Wootton DG, Chalder T, Davies MJ, De Soyza A, Geddes JR, Greenhalf W, Heller S, Howard LS, Jacob J, Jenkins RG, Lord JM, Man WD, McCann GP, Neubauer S, Openshaw PJ, Porter JC, Rowland MJ, Scott JT, Semple MG, Singh SJ, Thomas DC, Toshner M, Smith N, Sheikh A, Brightling CE, Wain LV, Evans RA and
Effects of sleep disturbance on dyspnoea and impaired lung function following hospital admission due to COVID-19 in the UK: a prospective multicentre cohort study

Sleep disturbance is common following hospital admission both for COVID-19 and other causes. The clinical associations of this for recovery after hospital admission are poorly understood despite sleep disturbance contributing to morbidity in other scenarios. We aimed to investigate the prevalence and nature of sleep disturbance after discharge following hospital admission for COVID-19 and to assess whether this was associated with dyspnoea.
Examining the effect of interventions in emergency care for older people using a system dynamics decision support tool
England T, Brailsford S, Evenden D, Street A, Maynou L, Mason SM, Preston L, Burton C, Van Oppen J and Conroy S
Rising demand for Emergency and Urgent Care is a major international issue and outcomes for older people remain sub-optimal. Embarking upon large-scale service development is costly in terms of time, energy and resources with no guarantee of improved outcomes; computer simulation modelling offers an alternative, low risk and lower cost approach to explore possible interventions.
ADCOMS sensitivity versus baseline diagnosis and progression phenotypes
Evenden D, Prosser A, Michopoulou S, Kipps C and
The Alzheimer's Disease COMposite Score (ADCOMS) is more sensitive in clinical trials than conventional measures when assessing pre-dementia. This study compares ADCOMS trajectories using clustered progression characteristics to better understand different patterns of decline.
