Journal Article
Alothman, D., Tyrrell, E., Lewis, S., Card, T., & Fogarty, A. W. (2023). Evaluation of common prescription analgesics and adjuvant analgesics as markers of suicide risk: a longitudinal population-based study in England. The Lancet Regional Health Europe, 32, Article 100695. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.lanepe.2023.100695

Background: Analgesics prescriptions may provide a marker for identifying individuals at higher risk of suicide. In particular, awareness of which analgesics are implicated may help clinicians assess and modify risk. Method: A case–control study in E...

AIMS: The study tests the hypothesis that a higher acute systemic inflammatory response was associated with a larger decrease in blood hemoglobin levels in patients with Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) infection. METHODS: All patients with either suspect...
