Canavan, C., West, J., & Card, T. R. (in press). Calculating total health service utilisation and costs from routinely collected electronic health records using the example of patients with irritable bowel syndrome before and after their first gastroenterology appointment. PharmacoEconomics, 34(2), https://doi.org/10.1007/s40273-015-0339-y

INTRODUCTION: Health economic models are increasingly important in funding decisions but most are based on data, which may therefore not represent the general population. We sought to establish the potential of real-world data available within the Cl...

Change in quality of life for patients with irritable bowel syndrome following referral to a gastroenterologist: a cohort study (2015)
Journal Article
Canavan, C., West, J., & Card, T. R. (2015). Change in quality of life for patients with irritable bowel syndrome following referral to a gastroenterologist: a cohort study. PLoS ONE, 10(10), Article e0139389. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0139389

BACKGROUND: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a chronic functional condition, considerably reduces quality of life (QoL) and referral to gastroenterology is common. Until now, however, the impact of seeing a gastroenterologist for IBS on patients’ QoL...

Socioeconomic variation in the incidence of childhood coeliac disease in the UK (2015)
Journal Article
Zingone, F., West, J., Crooks, C. J., Fleming, K. M., Card, T. R., Ciacci,, C., & Tata, L. J. (2015). Socioeconomic variation in the incidence of childhood coeliac disease in the UK. Archives of Disease in Childhood, 100(5), https://doi.org/10.1136/archdischild-2014-307105

BACKGROUND: Serological studies indicate that evidence of coeliac disease (CD) exists in about 1% of all children, but we lack estimates of current diagnostic patterns among children and how they vary by socioeconomic group. METHODS: We identifie... Read More about Socioeconomic variation in the incidence of childhood coeliac disease in the UK.
