Journal Article
Morton, A. J., Rashid, A., Shim, J. S., West, J., Humes, D. J., & Grainge, M. J. (2023). Long-term adverse effects and healthcare burden of rectal cancer radiotherapy: systematic review and meta-analysis. ANZ Journal of Surgery, 93(1-2), 42-53. https://doi.org/10.1111/ans.18059

Background: As rectal cancer survival increases, more patients survive with potentially severe, long-term gastrointestinal and genitourinary complications from radiotherapy. The burden of these complications for patients and healthcare services is un...

External validation of a model to predict women most at risk of postpartum venous thromboembolism: Maternity clot risk (2021)
Journal Article
Ban, L., Abdul Sultan, A., West, J., Tata, L. J., Riley, R. D., Nelson-Piercy, C., & Grainge, M. J. (2021). External validation of a model to predict women most at risk of postpartum venous thromboembolism: Maternity clot risk. Thrombosis Research, 208, 202-210. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.thromres.2021.05.020

Introduction: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is the leading cause of direct maternal mortality in high-income countries. We previously developed a risk prediction score for postpartum venous thromboembolism (VTE) in women without a previous VTE. In thi...
