Determinants of motivation to quit in smokers screened for the early detection of lung cancer: a qualitative study (2018)
Journal Article

Background: The promotion of smoking cessation within lung cancer screening could lead to benefits for smoking-related disease and improve cost-effectiveness of screening. Little is known about how smokers respond to lung cancer screening and how thi...

Injury among children and young people with and without attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder in the community: the risk of fractures, thermal injuries and poisonings (2018)
Journal Article

Background: Injuries commonly cause morbidity and mortality in children and young people (CYP). Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the commonest neurobehavioural disorder in CYP and is associated with increased injury risk. However, l...

Background: In England, there is a discrepancy between the prevalence of Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) ascertained from medical records and community surveys. There is also a lack of data on variation in recorded prevalence by depri... Read More about Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: variation by socio-economic deprivation.

Association between maternal depression and anxiety episodes and rates of childhood injuries: a cohort study from England (2017)
Journal Article

Background: Maternal depression is common and associated with several child health outcomes. The impact on childhood injuries is underexplored, with existing studies relying on maternal reporting of injury occurrences. Using population healthcare dat...

Differing patterns in thermal injury incidence and hospitalisations among 0–4 year old children from England (2016)
Journal Article

Objective: To describe patterns in thermal injury incidence and hospitalisations by age, sex, calendar year and socioeconomic status among 0-4 year olds in England for the period 1998-2013. Participants: 708,050 children with linked primary care a... Read More about Differing patterns in thermal injury incidence and hospitalisations among 0–4 year old children from England.

Epidemiology of poisonings, fractures and burns among 0–24 year olds in England using linked health and mortality data (2016)
Journal Article

Background: Understanding patterns of injury in England is challenging due to a lack of national injury surveillance data. Through recent linkage of a large primary care research database to hospitalization and mortality data, we describe the epide... Read More about Epidemiology of poisonings, fractures and burns among 0–24 year olds in England using linked health and mortality data.

Identification of incident poisoning, fracture and burn events using linked primary care, secondary care, and mortality data from England: implications for research and surveillance (2015)
Journal Article

Background: English national injury data collection systems are restricted to hospitalisations and deaths. With recent linkage of a large primary care database, the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD), with secondary care and mortality data we...

Journal Article

Aim: To investigate risk factors for first long-bone fractures in children up to 5 years old in order to provide evidence about which families could benefit from injury prevention interventions. Methods: Population-based matched nested case–control... Read More about Risk factors for long-bone fractures in children up to 5 years of age: a nested case–control study.

Persistence of health inequalities in childhood injury in the UK: a population-based cohort study of children under 5 (2014)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: Injury is a significant cause of childhood death and can result in substantial long-term disability. Injuries are more common in children from socio-economically deprived families, contributing to health inequalities between the most and...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether children and young adults with epilepsy are at a greater risk of fracture, thermal injury, or poisoning than those without. METHODS: A cohort study was conducted by using the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (198... Read More about Injury among children and young adults with epilepsy.

REFINE (REducing Falls in In-patieNt Elderly) using bed and bedside chair pressure sensors linked to radio-pagers in acute hospital care: a randomised controlled trial (2013)
Journal Article

Background: falls in hospitals are a major problem and contribute to substantial healthcare burden. Advances in sensor technology afford innovative approaches to reducing falls in acute hospital care. However, whether these are clinically effective a...
