Objective To examine the risk of community acquired pneumonia before and after prescription of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and assess whether unmeasured confounding explains this association. Design Cohort study and self controlled case series. S... Read More about Community acquired pneumonia incidence before and after proton pump inhibitor prescription: population based study.

The use of a bayesian hierarchy to develop and validate a co-morbidity score to predict mortality for linked primary and secondary care data from the NHS in England (2016)
Journal Article
Crooks, C. J., Card, T. R., & West, J. (2016). The use of a bayesian hierarchy to develop and validate a co-morbidity score to predict mortality for linked primary and secondary care data from the NHS in England. PLoS ONE, 11(10), 1-16. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0165507

Background: We have assessed whether the linkage between routine primary and secondary care records provided an opportunity to develop an improved population based co-morbidity score with the combined information on co-morbidities from both health ca...
