Journal Article
Otete, H. E., Orton, E., Fleming, K. M., & West, J. (2016). Alcohol-attributable healthcare attendances up to 10 years prior to diagnosis of alcoholic cirrhosis: a population based case-control study. Liver International, 36(4), 538-546. https://doi.org/10.1111/liv.13002

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Cirrhosis because of alcohol could be avoided if drinking behaviour could be altered earlier in the disease course. Our aim was to quantify the burden of morbidities in patients prior to alcoholic cirrhosis diagnosis, as this may...

Aim: To estimate sex differences in health-care utilization among harmful/hazardous drinkers in the period before alcoholic cirrhosis diagnosis, and estimate sex differences in the extent to which alcohol use and brief alcohol interventions were docu...

Aim: To investigate risk factors for first long-bone fractures in children up to 5 years old in order to provide evidence about which families could benefit from injury prevention interventions. Methods: Population-based matched nested case–control... Read More about Risk factors for long-bone fractures in children up to 5 years of age: a nested case–control study.

Journal Article
Downing, H. E., Carroll, F., Brookes, S. T., Hollinghurst, S., Timmins, D., Orton, E., …Hay, A. D. (2015). Can oral corticosteroids reduce the severity or duration of an acute cough, and the associated National Health Service and societal costs, in adults presenting to primary care?: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial. Trials, 16(1), Article 78. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13063-015-0569-5

Background: Acute lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) is one of the most common conditions managed internationally and is costly to health services and patients. Despite good evidence that antibiotics are not effective for improving the symptom...
