Risk of venous thromboembolism in patients with cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2012)
Journal Article
Horsted, F., West, J., & Grainge, M. J. (2012). Risk of venous thromboembolism in patients with cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis. PLoS Medicine, 9(7), Article e1001275. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.1001275

Background: People with cancer are known to be at increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), and this risk is believed to vary according to cancer type, stage of disease, and treatment modality. Our purpose was to summarise the existing literatu... Read More about Risk of venous thromboembolism in patients with cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Independent risk factors for injury in pre-school children: three population-based nested case-control studies using routine primary care data (2012)
Journal Article
Orton, E., Kendrick, D., West, J., & Tata, L. J. (2012). Independent risk factors for injury in pre-school children: three population-based nested case-control studies using routine primary care data. PLoS ONE, 7(4), Article e35193. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0035193

Background: Injuries in childhood are largely preventable yet an estimated 2,400 children die every day because of injury and violence. Despite this, the factors that contribute to injury occurrence have not been quantified at the population scale us...

All-cause mortality in people with cirrhosis compared with the general population: a population-based cohort study (2011)
Journal Article
Fleming, K. M., Aithal, G. P., Card, T. R., & West, J. (2012). All-cause mortality in people with cirrhosis compared with the general population: a population-based cohort study. Liver International, 32(1), https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1478-3231.2011.02517.x

Background: Mortality due to cirrhosis has tripled over the last 30 years in the UK. However, we lack adequate, contemporary, population-based estimates of the excess mortality patients who are at risk compared with the general population. Aim: To d...

Influence of ursodeoxycholic acid on the mortality and malignancy associated with primary biliary cirrhosis: A population-based cohort study (2007)
Journal Article
Jackson, H., Solaymani-Dodaran, M., Card, T. R., Aithal, G. P., Logan, R., & West, J. (2007). Influence of ursodeoxycholic acid on the mortality and malignancy associated with primary biliary cirrhosis: A population-based cohort study. Hepatology, 46(4), 1131-1137. https://doi.org/10.1002/hep.21795

There is debate over the mortality and malignancy risk in people with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and whether this risk is reduced by use of ursodeoxycholic acid. To investigate this issue, we identified 930 people with PBC and 9,202 control subj...

Fracture Risk in People With Primary Biliary Cirrhosis: A Population-Based Cohort Study (2006)
Journal Article
Solaymani–Dodaran, M., Card, T. R., Aithal, G. P., & West, J. (2006). Fracture Risk in People With Primary Biliary Cirrhosis: A Population-Based Cohort Study. Gastroenterology, 131(6), 1752-1757. https://doi.org/10.1053/j.gastro.2006.09.012

Background & Aims: Controversy exists as to whether people with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) have an increased risk of developing osteoporosis and the extent to which this may translate into an increased risk of fracture. We have performed a coh... Read More about Fracture Risk in People With Primary Biliary Cirrhosis: A Population-Based Cohort Study.
