  • The Association between Home Healthcare and Burdensome Transitions at the End-of-Life in People with Dementia

    Open AccessPing‐jen Chen, Chung‐Han Ho et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2020

    HHC has differential effects on early and late transitions. Characteristics of HHC such as better continuity or interdisciplinary coordination may reduce the risk of transitions at the end-of-life. We need further studies to understand the longitudinal effects of HHC and its synergy with palliative care, as well as the key components of HHC that achieve better end-of-life outcomes

  • Missing data and multiple imputation in clinical epidemiological research

    Open AccessAlma Pedersen, Alma B Pedersen et al.ARTICLEClinical Epidemiology2017

    Missing data are ubiquitous in clinical epidemiological research. Individuals with missing data may differ from those with no missing data in terms of the outcome of interest and prognosis in general. Missing data are often categorized into the following three types: missing completely at random (MCAR), missing at random (MAR), and missing not at random (MNAR). In clinical epidemiological research, missing data are seldom MCAR. Missing data can c…

  • Factors associated with influenza vaccine uptake during a universal vaccination programme of preschool children in England and Wales

    Pia Hardelid, Greta Rait et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2016References: 29

    INTRODUCTION: Influenza vaccination through primary care has been recommended for all preschool children in the UK since 2013 as part of a universal immunisation programme. Vaccination is required annually and effectiveness varies by season. Factors associated with influenza vaccine receipt and those for other childhood vaccines may therefore differ. METHODS: We used The Health Improvement Network, a large primary care database, to create a cohor…

  • The REporting of studies Conducted using Observational Routinely-collected health Data (Record) Statement

    Open AccessEric I Benchimol, Liam Smeeth et al.ARTICLEPLoS Medicine2015

    Routinely collected health data, obtained for administrative and clinical purposes without specific a priori research goals, are increasingly used for research. The rapid evolution and availability of these data have revealed issues not addressed by existing reporting guidelines, such as Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE). The REporting of studies Conducted using Observational Routinely collected health …

  • Do men consult less than women? An analysis of routinely collected UK general practice data

    Open AccessYingying Wang, Kate Hunt et al.ARTICLEBMJ Open2013

    OBJECTIVE: To examine whether gender differences in primary care consultation rates (1) vary by age and deprivation status and (2) diminish when consultation for reproductive reasons or common underlying morbidities are accounted for. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study of a cohort of patients registered with general practice. SETTING: UK primary care. SUBJECTS: Patients (1 869 149 men and 1 916 898 women) registered with 446 eligible practices in 2010…

  • OP58 Is the Excess Risk of Myocardial Infarction Among People with Diabetes Falling Over Time

    SL Hardoon, Peter H Whincup et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2012

    Background Incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) in the UK general population has declined considerably in recent years. However it is unclear whether the decline in MI risk has occurred among people with diabetes. People with diabetes have an estimated two-fold excess risk of MI, compared to those without diabetes. A differential trend in MI incidence among diabetic patients could correspond to a rise or fall in this excess risk, which has imp…

  • PS27 Serum Bilirubin and Risk of Cardiovascular Events and Death in a Statin-Treated Population

    LJ Horsfall, Irene Petersen et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2012

    Background Serum bilirubin is an endogenous antioxidant with a strong genetic component that may be a marker for future cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. We examined the relationship between serum bilirubin levels recorded prior to statin prescription, primarily as test for liver function, and the diagnosis or death from CVD. We also examined whether bilirubin levels increased following statin prescription independently of liver enzymes, which h…

  • PS25 Discontinuation of Antiepileptic Drugs in Pregnancy

    S F Paul Man, S Man et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2012

    Background Since the thalidomide tragedy in the 1960s, many women are concerned with the use of drugs in pregnancy. Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are commonly used to treat epilepsy and bipolar disorders in women of child bearing age. However, some AEDs are associated with an increased risk of major congenital malformations. Untreated epilepsy and bipolar disorders in pregnancy may lead to devastating consequences for both mother and child. This lea…

  • Trends in longer-term survival following an acute myocardial infarction and prescribing of evidenced-based medications in primary care in the UK from 1991

    Open AccessSarah L Hardoon, Sarah Hardoon et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2011References: 21

    BACKGROUND: Both the incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) and short-term case fatality have declined in the UK. However, little is known about trends in longer-term survival following an MI. The aim of the study was to investigate trends in longer-term survival, alongside trends in medication prescribing in primary care. METHODS: Data came from 218 general practices contributing to the Health Improvement Network, a UK-wide primary care databas…
