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...

Background: Smoking in films is a common and well
documented cause of youth smoking experimentation
and uptake and hence a significant health hazard. The
extent of exposure of young people to tobacco imagery
in television programming has to date be... Read More about Tobacco imagery on prime time UK television.

Background: In England, point-of-sale (PoS) displays in larger shops were prohibited in April 2012, with an exemption for smaller retailers until 2015. The aim of this study was to examine the association between tobacco displays and brand communicat...

Second hand smoke exposure and the risk of invasive meningococcal disease in children: systematic review and meta-analysis (2012)
Journal Article

Background

Invasive meningococcal disease remains an important cause of serious morbidity and mortality in children and young people. There is a growing body of literature to suggest that exposure to passive smoke may play a role in the developmen...

Measures of body habitus are associated with lung function in adults with cystic fibrosis: a population-based study (2012)
Journal Article
Forrester, D. L., Knox, A. J., Smyth, A. R., & Fogarty, A. W. (2013). Measures of body habitus are associated with lung function in adults with cystic fibrosis: a population-based study. Journal of Cystic Fibrosis, 12(3), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcf.2012.08.008

Background
Body habitus differences may explain some of the variation in lung function between individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF). We tested the hypothesis that measures of lean muscle mass and obesity are independently associated with lung funct...
