Applying quantitative bias analysis to estimate the plausible effects of selection bias in a cluster randomised controlled trial: secondary analysis of the Primary care Osteoarthritis Screening Trial (POST). (2017)
Journal Article
Barnett, L., Mallen, C., Lewis, A., & Peat, G. (2017). Applying quantitative bias analysis to estimate the plausible effects of selection bias in a cluster randomised controlled trial: secondary analysis of the Primary care Osteoarthritis Screening Trial (POST). Trials, 18, 585 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13063-017-2329-1

BACKGROUND: Selection bias is a concern when designing cluster randomised controlled trials (c-RCT). Despite addressing potential issues at the design stage, bias cannot always be eradicated from a trial design. The application of bias analysis prese...

Prognosis of sciatica and back-related leg pain in primary care: the ATLAS cohort (2017)
Journal Article
Konstantinou, K., Dunn, K., Ogollah, R., Lewis, M., Van Der Windt, D., Hay, E., & Study Team, A. (2017). Prognosis of sciatica and back-related leg pain in primary care: the ATLAS cohort. Spine Journal, 1030-1040. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.spinee.2017.10.071

Background Context
Evidence is lacking on the prognosis and prognostic factors of back-related leg pain and sciatica in patients seeing their primary care physicians. This evidence could guide timely appropriate treatment and referral decisions.... Read More about Prognosis of sciatica and back-related leg pain in primary care: the ATLAS cohort.

Objective
To determine the effectiveness of a model osteoarthritis consultation, compared with usual care, on physical function and uptake of National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) osteoarthritis recommendations, in adults =45 year...

Integrating case finding and initial management for osteoarthritis, anxiety and depression into routine primary care nurse-led long-term condition reviews: results from the enhance pilot trial (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jinks, C., Nicholls, E., Liddle, J., Healey, E., Evans, A., Chew-Graham, C., Dziedzic, K., Tan, V., Finney, A., Porcheret, M., Lawton, S., Cooper, V., Lewis, M., Mallen, C., & Team, E. Integrating case finding and initial management for osteoarthritis, anxiety and depression into routine primary care nurse-led long-term condition reviews: results from the enhance pilot trial

Background Co-morbid osteoarthritis (OA), anxiety and depression are undermanaged in primary care yet have significant impact on pain, disability and outcomes of other long-term conditions (LTCs).

Objectives To test the feasibility and acceptabili... Read More about Integrating case finding and initial management for osteoarthritis, anxiety and depression into routine primary care nurse-led long-term condition reviews: results from the enhance pilot trial.

The use of regular text messaging over one year to collect primary outcome data in a randomised controlled trial (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ogollah, R., Lewis, M., Konstantinou, K., Lawton, S., Garner, J., & Foster, N. The use of regular text messaging over one year to collect primary outcome data in a randomised controlled trial

Background Frequent data collection is desirable in randomised controlled trials (RCTs) where time‐to‐event is the primary outcome, in order to accurately capture the event of interest with reduced risk of recall bias. However, an inevitable problem... Read More about The use of regular text messaging over one year to collect primary outcome data in a randomised controlled trial.

Valuing productivity costs using the friction‐cost approach: Estimating friction‐period estimates by occupational classifications for the UK (2017)
Journal Article
Kigozi, J., Jowett, S., Lewis, M., Barton, P., & Coast, J. (2017). Valuing productivity costs using the friction‐cost approach: Estimating friction‐period estimates by occupational classifications for the UK. Health Economics, 26(12), 1862-1868. https://doi.org/10.1002/hec.3513

The friction cost approach has been proposed as an alternative to the human capital approach in estimating productivity costs. However, it is difficult, in practice, to apply this approach due to limited availability of context-specific data. Using n...
