The SNAP trial: A randomised placebo-controlled trial of nicotine replacement therapy in pregnancy - Clinical effectiveness and safety until 2 years after delivery, with economic evaluation (2014)
Journal Article

Background: Smoking during pregnancy causes many adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes. Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) is effective for cessation outside pregnancy but efficacy and safety in pregnancy are unknown. We hypothesised that NRT would in...

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...

Factors Associated With Smoking Cessation in Early and Late Pregnancy in the Smoking, Nicotine, and Pregnancy Trial: A Trial of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (2013)
Journal Article

Introduction: Previous studies have found partners’ smoking status, multiparity, and nicotine dependence to be associated with smoking cessation in pregnancy. However, no studies have investigated influences on cessation among women using nicotine re...

The incidence of first venous thromboembolism in and around pregnancy using linked primary and secondary care data: a population based cohort study from England and comparative meta-analysis (2013)
Journal Article

Background: Recent linkage between primary and secondary care data has provided valuable information for studying heath outcomes that may initially present in different health care settings. The aim of this study was therefore, twofold: to use linke...

Risk of venous thromboembolism in patients with cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2012)
Journal Article

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.

REFINE (Reducing Falls in In-patient Elderly): a randomised controlled trial (2009)
