Journal Article
Harman, D. J., Ryder, S. D., James, M. W., Wilkes, E. A., Card, T. R., Aithal, G. P., & Guha, I. N. (2018). Obesity and type 2 diabetes are important risk factors underlying previously undiagnosed cirrhosis in general practice: a cross-sectional study using Transient Elastography. Alimentary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 47(4), 504-515. https://doi.org/10.1111/apt.14463

Background: Rising cirrhosis incidence and mortality in the United Kingdom has been attributed predominantly to excess alcohol consumption. However, metabolic risk factors such as type 2 diabetes and obesity may also be important. Aim: To screen at-...

Venous thromboembolism and mortality in breast cancer: cohort study with systematic review and meta-analysis (2017)
Journal Article
Khan, U. T., Walker, A. J., Baig, S., Card, T. R., Kirwan, C. C., & Grainge, M. J. (2017). Venous thromboembolism and mortality in breast cancer: cohort study with systematic review and meta-analysis. BMC Cancer, 17(747), https://doi.org/10.1186/s12885-017-3719-1

Background Breast cancer patients are at an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). However, current evidence as to whether VTE increases the risk of mortality in breast cancer patients is conflicting. We present data from a large cohort of...

The risk of Clostridium difficile infection in patients with pernicious anaemia: a retrospective cohort study using primary care database. (2017)
Journal Article
Othman, F., Crooks, C. J., & Card, T. R. (in press). The risk of Clostridium difficile infection in patients with pernicious anaemia: a retrospective cohort study using primary care database. United European Gastroenterology Journal, https://doi.org/10.1177/2050640617695697

Background: Studies have found an association between proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use and Clostridium difficile infection. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the mechanism by which PPIs induce an increased risk of C. difficile infecti...

Risk of hepatocellular carcinoma among individuals with different aetiologies of cirrhosis: a population-based cohort study (2017)
Journal Article
West, J., Card, T. R., Aithal, G. P., & Fleming, K. M. (2017). Risk of hepatocellular carcinoma among individuals with different aetiologies of cirrhosis: a population-based cohort study. Alimentary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 45(7), 983-990. https://doi.org/10.1111/apt.13961

Background: Among patients with cirrhosis, only those determined to be at risk for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) should undergo surveillance. However, little is known about how different aetiologies of cirrhosis affect risk for HCC. Aim: To quantif...
