Journal Article
Lacey, R. J., Strauss, V. Y., Rathod, T., Belcher, J., Croft, P. R., Natvig, B., Wilkie, R., & McBeth, J. (2015). Clustering of pain and its associations with health in people aged 50 years and older: cross-sectional results from the North Staffordshire Osteoarthritis Project. BMJ Open, 5(11), https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2015-008389

Objective Most pain in patients aged =50 years affects multiple sites and yet the predominant mode of presentation is single-site syndromes. The aim of this study was to investigate if pain sites form clusters in this population and if any such clust...

One-year trajectories of depression and anxiety symptoms in older patients presenting in general practice with musculoskeletal pain: A latent class growth analysis. Journal of Psychosomatic Research, 79(3), 195 - 201. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpsychores.2015.05.016

OBJECTIVE: Distinguishing transient from persistent anxiety and depression symptoms in older people presenting to general practice with musculoskeletal pain is potentially important for effective management. This study sought to identify distinct pos...

O31. Gout and Risk of Subsequent Vascular Event: A Discrete-Time Event History Analysis in the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Clarson, L. E., Hider, S. L., Belcher, J., Roddy, E., Heneghan, C., & Mallen, C. D. O31. Gout and Risk of Subsequent Vascular Event: A Discrete-Time Event History Analysis in the Clinical Practice Research Datalink

Background: Current evidence suggests that gout is an independent risk factor for excess cardiovascular morbidity and mortality; yet, suboptimal care for patients with gout in primary care persists. We aimed to identify risk factors specific to these...

BACKGROUND: Hyperuricaemia, the biochemical precursor to gout, has been shown to be an independent risk factor for mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD), although studies examining the clinical phenomenon of gout and risk of CVD mortality repor...

OBJECTIVES: To determine whether gout increases risk of incident coronary heart disease (CHD), cerebrovascular (CVD) and peripheral vascular disease (PVD) in a large cohort of primary care patients with gout, since there have been no such large studi...
