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...

Risk of symptomatic venous thromboembolism following emergency appendicectomy in adults (2016)
Journal Article
