Temporal trends in the incidence of haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis: a nationwide cohort study from England 2003-2018 (2022)
Preprint / Working Paper
West, J., Stilwell, P., Liu, H., Ban, L., Bythell, M., Card, T. R., Lanyon, P., Nanduri, V., Rankin, J., Bishton, M., & Crooks, C. J. Temporal trends in the incidence of haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis: a nationwide cohort study from England 2003-2018

Background Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is rare, results in high mortality and is increasingly being diagnosed. Little is known about what is driving the apparent rise in the incidence of this disease.

Methods Using national linked el... Read More about Temporal trends in the incidence of haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis: a nationwide cohort study from England 2003-2018.

Characterizing the risk interplay between alcohol intake and body mass index on cirrhosis morbidity (2021)
Journal Article
Innes, H., Crooks, C. J., Aspinall, E., Card, T. R., Hamill, V., Dillon, J., Guha, N. I., Hayes, P. C., Hutchinson, S., West, J., & Morling, J. R. (2022). Characterizing the risk interplay between alcohol intake and body mass index on cirrhosis morbidity. Hepatology, 75(2), 369-378. https://doi.org/10.1002/hep.32123

Background and Aims: It is thought that alcohol intake and body mass index (BMI) interact supra-additively to modulate the risk of cirrhosis, but evidence for this phenomenon is limited. We investigated the interrelationship between alcohol and BMI o... Read More about Characterizing the risk interplay between alcohol intake and body mass index on cirrhosis morbidity.
