Exposure to bisphosphonates and risk of cancer: a protocol for nested caseecontrol studies using the QResearch primary care database (2012)
Journal Article
Vinogradova, Y., Coupland, C., & Hippisley-Cox, J. (2012). Exposure to bisphosphonates and risk of cancer: a protocol for nested caseecontrol studies using the QResearch primary care database. BMJ Open, 2(1), Article e000548. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2011-000548

Introduction: Bisphosphonates are becoming
a common treatment for osteoporosis particularly after
discovery of the association between hormone
replacement therapy and increased risk of breast
cancer. As osteoporosis develops with age, treatment... Read More about Exposure to bisphosphonates and risk of cancer: a protocol for nested caseecontrol studies using the QResearch primary care database.

General practice characteristics associated with rates of testing and detection of hepatitis C: Cross-sectional study in Nottingham and Derbyshire (2006)
Journal Article
Coupland, C., Hippisley-Cox, J., Smith, S., Irving, W., Pringle, M., Ryder, S., Neal, K., Cater, R., Thomson, B., Pugh, S., Bicknell, M., & Bullock, D. (2006). General practice characteristics associated with rates of testing and detection of hepatitis C: Cross-sectional study in Nottingham and Derbyshire. British Journal of General Practice, 56(529), 620-623

The aim of this study was to determine general practice characteristics associated with testing rates for hepatitis C virus (HCV) and the proportion of tests with a positive result. The study included all patients tested for HCV from all general prac...

Multifactorial day hospital intervention to reduce falls in high risk older people in primary care: a multi-centre randomised controlled trial [ISRCTN46584556] (2006)
Journal Article
Masud, T., Coupland, C., Drummond, A. E., Gladman, J. R., Kendrick, D., Sach, T., Harwood, R. H., Kumar, P., Morris, R., Taylor, R., Youde, J., & Conroy, S. (2006). Multifactorial day hospital intervention to reduce falls in high risk older people in primary care: a multi-centre randomised controlled trial [ISRCTN46584556]. Trials, 7(1), Article 10. https://doi.org/10.1186/1745-6215-7-5

Falls in older people are a major public health concern in terms of morbidity, mortality and cost. Previous studies suggest that multifactorial interventions can reduce falls, and many geriatric day hospitals are now offering falls intervention progr...

Protocol for the development and validation of risk prediction equations to estimate absolute and conditional survival in patients with cancer
Book
Hippisley-Cox, J., & Coupland, C. Protocol for the development and validation of risk prediction equations to estimate absolute and conditional survival in patients with cancer. University of Nottingham

This is a protocol to describe the development and validation of a set of prediction equations to quantify absolute survival for patients with different types of cancers taking account of other clinical factors available through routine linkage of ca...

Protocol to assess the effectiveness and safety of novel oral anticoagulants (NOAC) vs warfarin in real world settings: cohort study in primary care
Book
Hippisley-Cox, J., & Coupland, C. Protocol to assess the effectiveness and safety of novel oral anticoagulants (NOAC) vs warfarin in real world settings: cohort study in primary care. University of Nottingham

Anticoagulants are used to treat thrombosis and to prevent thrombosis and stroke among those at high risk. Older anticoagulants such as warfarin can be effective but require regular monitoring and may lead to major bleeding and even death. Newer anti...

Protocol to assess risk of venous thromboembolism associated with use of hormone replacement therapy in real world settings: two nested case-control studies in primary care
Other
Vinogradova, Y., Coupland, C., Mustafa, M., & Hippisley-Cox, J. Protocol to assess risk of venous thromboembolism associated with use of hormone replacement therapy in real world settings: two nested case-control studies in primary care

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is used to help women suffering from menopausal symptoms. Although effective, the therapy may have a rare but serious side effect – an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Previous studies have not been...
