Journal Article
Abdul Sultan, A., Tata, L. J., Fleming, K. M., Crooks, C. J., Ludvigsson, J. F., Dhalwani, N. N., Ban, L., & West, J. (in press). Pregnancy complications and adverse birth outcomes among women with celiac disease: a population-based study from England. American Journal of Gastroenterology, 109(10), https://doi.org/10.1038/ajg.2014.196

OBJECTIVES: Evidence-based information about adverse birth outcomes and pregnancy complications is crucial when counseling women with celiac disease (CD); however, limited population-based data on such risks exist. We estimated these for pregnant wom... Read More about Pregnancy complications and adverse birth outcomes among women with celiac disease: a population-based study from England.

Incidence and prevalence of celiac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis in the UK over two decades: population-based study (2014)
Journal Article
West, J., Fleming, K. M., Tata, L. J., Card, T. R., & Crooks, C. J. (2014). Incidence and prevalence of celiac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis in the UK over two decades: population-based study. American Journal of Gastroenterology, 109(5), 757-768. https://doi.org/10.1038/ajg.2014.55

OBJECTIVES: Few studies have quantified the incidence and prevalence of celiac disease (CD) and dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) nationally and regionally by time and age groups. Understanding this epidemiology is crucial for hypothesizing about causes...

OBJECTIVES:
There is no routine registration of the occurrence of newly diagnosed cases of cirrhosis in the United Kingdom. This study seeks to determine precise estimates and trends of the incidence of cirrhosis in England, and directly compare the...

1 and 5 year survival estimates for people with cirrhosis of the liver in England, 1998–2009: a large population study (2014)
Journal Article
Ratib, S., Fleming, K. M., Crooks, C. J., Aithal, G. P., & West, J. (2014). 1 and 5 year survival estimates for people with cirrhosis of the liver in England, 1998–2009: a large population study. Journal of Hepatology, 60(2), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhep.2013.09.027

BACKGROUND & AIMS:
Large, population-based studies that have included the full spectrum of cirrhosis estimating survival, taking into account time-at-risk are lacking. We aimed to report 1- and 5-year average survival rates for people with cirrhosis...

Comorbidities affect risk of nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (2013)
Journal Article
Crooks, C. J., West, J., & Card, T. R. (2013). Comorbidities affect risk of nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Gastroenterology, 144(7), Article 1384-1393.e2. https://doi.org/10.1053/j.gastro.2013.02.040

Background & Aims
The incidence of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) has not been reduced despite the decreasing incidence of peptic ulcers, strategies to eradicate Helicobacter pylori infection, and prophylaxis against ulceration from nonsteroi...

Excess long-term mortality following non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding: a population-based cohort study (2013)
Journal Article
Crooks, C. J., Card, T. R., & West, J. (2013). Excess long-term mortality following non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding: a population-based cohort study. PLoS Medicine, 10(4), Article e1001437. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.1001437

Background
It is unclear whether an upper gastrointestinal bleed is an isolated gastrointestinal event or an indicator of a deterioration in a patient's overall health status. Therefore, we investigated the excess causes of death in individuals afte...
