Trials, 16(1), Article 78. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13063-015-0569-5

Background:
Acute lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) is one of the most common conditions managed internationally and is costly to health services and patients. Despite good evidence that antibiotics are not effective for improving the symptom...

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...

Risk factors for scald injury in children under 5 years of age: a case–control study using routinely collected data (2013)
Journal Article

Scald injury is common, accounting for half of all burns in pre-school children. Most scalds are preventable and health professionals can play an important role in targeting interventions to those at greatest risk. However, the potential for routinel...
