Accuracy of methods for detecting an irregular pulse and suspected atrial fibrillation: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2015)
Journal Article
Taggar, J. S., Coleman, T., Lewis, S., Heneghan, C., & Jones, M. (2016). Accuracy of methods for detecting an irregular pulse and suspected atrial fibrillation: a systematic review and meta-analysis. European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, 23(12), 1330-1338. https://doi.org/10.1177/2047487315611347

Background: Pulse palpation has been recommended as the first step of screening to detect atrial fibrillation. We aimed to determine and compare the accuracy of different methods for detecting pulse irregularities caused by atrial fibrillation. Me...

Do cravings predict smoking cessation in smokers calling a national quit line: secondary analyses from a randomised trial for the utility of ‘urges to smoke’ measures (2015)
Journal Article
Taggar, J. S., Lewis, S., Docherty, G., Bauld, L., McEwen, A., & Coleman, T. (in press). Do cravings predict smoking cessation in smokers calling a national quit line: secondary analyses from a randomised trial for the utility of ‘urges to smoke’ measures. Substance Abuse Treatment, Prevention, and Policy, 10(15), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13011-015-0011-8

BACKGROUND: Single-item urges to smoke measures have been contemplated as important measures of nicotine dependence This study aimed to prospectively determine the relationships between measures of craving to smoke and smoking cessation, and compare...

Accuracy of methods for diagnosing atrial fibrillation using 12-lead ECG: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2015)
Journal Article
Taggar, J. S., Coleman, T., Lewis, S., Heneghan, C., & Jones, M. (2015). Accuracy of methods for diagnosing atrial fibrillation using 12-lead ECG: a systematic review and meta-analysis. International Journal of Cardiology, 184, 175-183. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijcard.2015.02.014

Background: Screening for atrial fibrillation (AF) using 12-lead-electrocardiograms (ECGs) has been recommended; however, the best method for interpreting ECGs to diagnose AF is not known. We compared accuracy of methods for diagnosing AF from ECGs.... Read More about Accuracy of methods for diagnosing atrial fibrillation using 12-lead ECG: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
