Breast cancer patients are at increased risk of VTE, particularly in the peri-diagnosis period. However, no previous epidemiological studies have investigated the relative impact of breast cancer treatments in a time-dependent manner. We aimed to det...

Causes of death in people with liver cirrhosis in England compared to the general population: a population-based cohort study (2015)
Journal Article
Ratib, S., Fleming, K. M., Crooks, C. J., Walker, A. J., & West, J. (2015). Causes of death in people with liver cirrhosis in England compared to the general population: a population-based cohort study. American Journal of Gastroenterology, 110, https://doi.org/10.1038/ajg.2015.191

Introduction Liver cirrhosis is increasing worldwide and associated with high mortality. Precise estimates of cause-specific mortality compared to the general population, by underlying aetiology, are lacking. Such information may demonstrate areas w...

Causes of death in people with coeliac disease in England compared with the general population: a competing risk analysis (2015)
Journal Article

INTRODUCTION: Quantifying excess cause-specific mortality among people with coeliac disease (CD) compared with the general population accounting for competing risks will allow accurate information to be given on risk of death from specific causes....

A comparison of the recording of comorbidity in primary and secondary care by using the Charlson Index to predict short-term and long-term survival in a routine linked data cohort (2015)
Journal Article
Crooks, C. J., West, J., & Card, T. R. (2015). A comparison of the recording of comorbidity in primary and secondary care by using the Charlson Index to predict short-term and long-term survival in a routine linked data cohort. BMJ Open, 5(6), Article e007974. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2015-007974

OBJECTIVE: Hospital admission records provide snapshots of clinical histories for a subset of the population admitted to hospital. In contrast, primary care records provide continuous clinical histories for complete populations, but might lack detail...

Socioeconomic variation in the incidence of childhood coeliac disease in the UK (2015)
Journal Article
Zingone, F., West, J., Crooks, C. J., Fleming, K. M., Card, T. R., Ciacci,, C., & Tata, L. J. (2015). Socioeconomic variation in the incidence of childhood coeliac disease in the UK. Archives of Disease in Childhood, 100(5), https://doi.org/10.1136/archdischild-2014-307105

BACKGROUND: Serological studies indicate that evidence of coeliac disease (CD) exists in about 1% of all children, but we lack estimates of current diagnostic patterns among children and how they vary by socioeconomic group. METHODS: We identifie... Read More about Socioeconomic variation in the incidence of childhood coeliac disease in the UK.
