Who does this patient belong to?' boundary work and the re/making of (NSTEMI) heart attack patients
This ethnography within ten English and Welsh hospitals explores the significance of boundary work and the impacts of this work on the quality of care experienced by heart attack patients who have suspected non-STsegment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) /non-STelevation acute coronary syndrome. Beginning with the initial identification and prioritisation of patients, boundary work informed negotiations over responsibility for patients, th…
Long-term excess mortality associated with diabetes following acute myocardial infarction
BACKGROUND: The long-term excess risk of death associated with diabetes following acute myocardial infarction is unknown. We determined the excess risk of death associated with diabetes among patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-STEMI (NSTEMI) after adjustment for comorbidity, risk factors and cardiovascular treatments. METHODS: Nationwide population-based cohort (STEMI n=281 259 and NSTEMI n=422 661) using data from t…
Comparison of Random Forest and Parametric Imputation Models for Imputing Missing Data Using Mice
Multivariate imputation by chained equations (MICE) is commonly used for imputing missing data in epidemiologic research. The "true" imputation model may contain nonlinearities which are not included in default imputation models. Random forest imputation is a machine learning technique which can accommodate nonlinearities and interactions and does not require a particular regression model to be specified. We compared parametric MICE with a random…
OP88 The Hazard of Smoking for Specific Coronary Disease Phenotypes
Background The association between smoking and coronary heart disease (CHD) has been well-documented, though most studies use a composite measure of CHD. Few studies have investigated the association between smoking and specific coronary disease phenotypes, even fewer, its first manifestation. These have generally been restricted to comparison between two disease phenotypes, often with small number of events or single gender studies. Our objectiv…
Job strain and symptoms of angina pectoris among British and Finnish middle-aged employees
BACKGROUND: High job strain has been linked with cardiovascular outcomes. This study aimed to examine whether job strain is associated with angina pectoris symptoms among British and Finnish non-manual employees. METHODS: Postal questionnaire survey data among 40-60-year-old employees of the British Whitehall II Study (n = 4551, 27% women) and the Finnish Helsinki Health Study (n = 7605, 83% women) cohort were analysed. Angina pectoris symptoms w…

Working While Ill as a Risk Factor for Serious Coronary Events
Objectives. Although sick, some people take no time off work, a phenomenon called “sickness presenteeism.” This study examined the association between sickness presenteeism and incidence of serious coronary events. Methods. The analyses were based on a cohort of 5071 male British civil servants without previous myocardial infarction. Baseline screening included measurements of health status and coronary risk factors. Absence records were assessed…
MI myopia
MI myopia: finding the focus on angina MI IS EASYWhy does the gaze of "coronary heart disease" epidemiology focus on fatal or non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI)?One reason is that it is easy to study.Cardiologists recognise a number of acute coronary syndromes, of which MI is one, which are often clinically dramatic and precipitate hospital admission.Once in hospital, most patients are investigated with biochemical markers of myocardial necrosi…

Impact of socioeconomic status on coronary mortality in people with symptoms, electrocardiographic abnormalities, both or neither
OBJECTIVES: To determine the impact of socioeconomic status (SES) on coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality in people with and without prevalent CHD at baseline. DESIGN: Cohort study with 25 year follow up; prevalent CHD was defined by Q, ST or T wave electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities or symptoms (defined by the Rose chest pain questionnaire and self reported doctor diagnosis) or both. SES was defined by four civil service employment grade…
Are risk factors for atherothrombotic disease associated with back pain sickness absence? The Whitehall II Study
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To explore the previously stated hypothesis that risk factors for atherothrombotic disease are associated with back pain. DESIGN: Prospective (mean of four years of follow up) and retrospective analyses using two main outcome measures: (a) short ( 7 days) spells of sickness absence because of back pain reported separately in men and women; (b) consistency of effect across the resulting four duration of spell and sex cells. SETTIN…

Psychosocial Work Characteristics and Social Support as Predictors of SF-36 Health Functioning
OBJECTIVE: To assess whether work characteristics and social support are predictors of physical, psychological, and social functioning. METHOD: Work characteristics (Karasek and Siegrist models) and social support at baseline were used to predict health functioning measured by the SF-36 General Health Survey 5 years later in a prospective cohort study of 10,308 British male and female civil servants. RESULTS: Effort-reward imbalance and negative …
Behavioural and biological correlates of physical functioning in middle aged office workers
STUDY OBJECTIVES: (1) To identify behavioural and biological correlates of poor physical functioning and (2) to determine whether such associations are independent of disease. DESIGN: Potential correlates were obtained from questionnaires and screening visits at baseline and five year follow up. Physical functioning was measured at follow up using the 10 item scale from the short-form 36 health survey. SETTING: London offices at baseline. PARTICI…
Is the SF-36 a valid measure of change in population health? Results from the Whitehall II study
Objective: To measure within-person change in scores on the short form general health survey (SF-36) by age, sex, employment grade, and disease status. Design: Longitudinal study with a mean of 36 months (range 23–59 months) follow up, with screening examination and questionnaire to detect physical and psychiatric morbidity. Setting: 20 civil service departments originally located in London. Participants: 5070 male and 2197 female office based ci…
Low job control and risk of coronary heart disease in whitehall ii (prospective cohort) study
Objective: To determine the association between adverse psychosocial characteristics at work and risk of coronary heart disease among male and female civil servants. Design: Prospective cohort study (Whitehall II study). At the baseline examination (1985-8) and twice during follow up a self report questionnaire provided information on psychosocial factors of the work environment and coronary heart disease. Independent assessments of the work envi…
Contribution of job control and other risk factors to social variations in coronary heart disease incidence
The impact of socioeconomic status on health functioning as assessed by the SF-36 questionnaire
OBJECTIVES: This study measured the association between socioeconomic status and the eight scale scores of the Medical Outcomes Study short form 36 (SF-36) general health survey in the Whitehall II study of British civil servants. It also assessed, for the physical functioning scale, whether this association was independent of disease. METHODS: A questionnaire containing the SF-36 was administered at the third phase of the study to 5766 men and 2…
