Patients who discontinued statin treatment: a protocol for cohort study using primary care data (2015)
Journal Article
Vinogradova, Y., Coupland, C., Brindle, P., & Hippisley-Cox, J. (2015). Patients who discontinued statin treatment: a protocol for cohort study using primary care data. BMJ Open, 5(10), https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2015-008701

Introduction: Risk thresholds for using statins to prevent cardiovascular disease (CVD) have recently been lowered, so an increasing number of patients are now prescribed these drugs. Although the safety of long-term statin use has been generally est... Read More about Patients who discontinued statin treatment: a protocol for cohort study using primary care data.

Exposure to bisphosphonates and risk of common non-gastrointestinal cancers: series of nested case–control studies using two primary-care databases (2013)
Journal Article

Background: Bisphosphonates are the most commonly prescribed osteoporosis drugs but long-term effects are unclear, although antitumour properties are known from preclinical studies. Methods: Nested case–control studies were conducted to investigate...

Exposure to bisphosphonates and risk of cancer: a protocol for nested caseecontrol studies using the QResearch primary care database (2012)
Journal Article
Vinogradova, Y., Coupland, C., & Hippisley-Cox, J. (2012). Exposure to bisphosphonates and risk of cancer: a protocol for nested caseecontrol studies using the QResearch primary care database. BMJ Open, 2(1), Article e000548. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2011-000548

Introduction: Bisphosphonates are becoming a common treatment for osteoporosis particularly after discovery of the association between hormone replacement therapy and increased risk of breast cancer. As osteoporosis develops with age, treatment... Read More about Exposure to bisphosphonates and risk of cancer: a protocol for nested caseecontrol studies using the QResearch primary care database.
