Objective: To investigate the associations between direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and risks of bleeding, ischaemic stroke, venous thromboembolism, and all cause mortality compared with warfarin. Design: Prospective open cohort study. Settin... Read More about Risks and benefits of direct oral anticoagulants versus warfarin in a real world setting: cohort study in primary care.

Risk of bleeding with direct oral anticoagulants versus warfarin: cohort studies using primary care datasets (2018)
Journal Article
Vinogradova, Y., Coupland, C., Hill, T., & Hippisley-Cox, J. (2018). Risk of bleeding with direct oral anticoagulants versus warfarin: cohort studies using primary care datasets. British Journal of General Practice, 68(suppl 1), doi:10.3399/bjgp18X696629

Background: There is limited evidence on the safety of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in real world settings. Aim: To investigate risks of bleeding and all-cause mortality in DOACs compared to warfarin. Method: Prospective cohorts of incide...

Discontinuation and restarting in patients on statin therapy: a cohort study using a primary care database (2016)
Journal Article

Objectives: To estimate rates of discontinuation and restarting of statins, and to identify patient characteristics associated with either discontinuation or restarting. Design: Prospective open cohort study. Setting: 664 general practices con...

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
Vinogradova, Y., Coupland, C., & Hippisley-Cox, J. (2013). Exposure to bisphosphonates and risk of common non-gastrointestinal cancers: series of nested case–control studies using two primary-care databases. British Journal of Cancer, 109, https://doi.org/10.1038/bjc.2013.383

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.

Protocol to assess risk of venous thromboembolism associated with use of hormone replacement therapy in real world settings: two nested case-control studies in primary care

Vinogradova, Y., Coupland, C., Mustafa, M., & Hippisley-Cox, J. Protocol to assess risk of venous thromboembolism associated with use of hormone replacement therapy in real world settings: two nested case-control studies in primary care

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is used to help women suffering from menopausal symptoms. Although effective, the therapy may have a rare but serious side effect – an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Previous studies have not been...
