The Role of Qualitative Research in Clinical Trial Development: The EASE Back Study (2016)
Journal Article
Holden. (2016). The Role of Qualitative Research in Clinical Trial Development: The EASE Back Study. Journal of Mixed Methods Research, 325-343. https://doi.org/10.1177/1558689816656740

This article outlines the rationale for adopting a mixed methods approach within randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and explores challenges associated in doing so. Taking the example of the EASE Back feasibility and pilot study (Evaluating Acupunctu... Read More about The Role of Qualitative Research in Clinical Trial Development: The EASE Back Study.

Predictors of foot pain in the community: the North West Adelaide health study (2016)
Journal Article
(2016). Predictors of foot pain in the community: the North West Adelaide health study. Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, https://doi.org/10.1186/s13047-016-0150-9

Background Foot pain has been shown to be prevalent across all age groups. The presence of foot pain may reduce mobility and impact on the ability to undertake activities of daily living. The aim of this study was to determine factors that are predi... Read More about Predictors of foot pain in the community: the North West Adelaide health study.

Primary care-based screening for cardiovascular risk factors in patients with psoriasis. (2016)
Journal Article
Chew-Graham. (2016). Primary care-based screening for cardiovascular risk factors in patients with psoriasis. British Journal of Dermatology, 348 -356. https://doi.org/10.1111/bjd.14557

BACKGROUND: Studies assessing cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in patients with psoriasis have been limited by selection bias, inappropriate controls or a reliance on data collected for clinical reasons. OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether sc... Read More about Primary care-based screening for cardiovascular risk factors in patients with psoriasis..

Bayesian inference for joint modelling of longitudinal continuous, binary and ordinal events (2016)
Journal Article
Li, Q., Pan, J., & Belcher, J. (2016). Bayesian inference for joint modelling of longitudinal continuous, binary and ordinal events. Statistical Methods in Medical Research, 25(6), https://doi.org/10.1177/0962280214526199

In medical studies, repeated measurements of continuous, binary and ordinal outcomes are routinely collected from the same patient. Instead of modelling each outcome separately, in this study we propose to jointly model the trivariate longitudinal re...

A qualitative study of patient and professional perspectives of health care services for multiple sclerosis: implications for service development and policy (2016)
Journal Article
Chew-Graham. (2016). A qualitative study of patient and professional perspectives of health care services for multiple sclerosis: implications for service development and policy. Health and Social Care in the Community, 848-857. https://doi.org/10.1111/hsc.12369

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic degenerative condition, with heterogeneous symptoms, and an unpredictable prognosis. Previous literature suggests patients' experiences of healthcare are unsatisfactory. Primary care may play a key role in the man...

Multidisciplinary approaches to managing osteoarthritis in multiple joint sites: a systematic review. (2016)
Journal Article
Finney, A., Healey, E., Jordan, J., Ryan, S., & Dziedzic, K. (2016). Multidisciplinary approaches to managing osteoarthritis in multiple joint sites: a systematic review. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 17, Article 266. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12891-016-1125-5

BACKGROUND: The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence's Osteoarthritis (OA) guidelines recommended that future research should consider the benefits of combination therapies in people with OA across multiple joint sites. However, the clin... Read More about Multidisciplinary approaches to managing osteoarthritis in multiple joint sites: a systematic review..

Symptom recognition and perceived urgency of help-seeking for rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases in the general public: A mixed method approach. (2016)
Journal Article
Simons, G., Belcher, J., Morton, C., Kumar, K., Falahee, M., Mallen, C. D., …Raza, K. (2017). Symptom recognition and perceived urgency of help-seeking for rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases in the general public: A mixed method approach. Arthritis Care and Research, 69(5), 633-641. https://doi.org/10.1002/acr.22979

OBJECTIVE: Clinical outcomes in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are improved if the disease is treated early. However, treatment is often significantly delayed as a result of delayed help-seeking by patients who fail to recognise its symptoms or the need f...

Differences in subsidence rate between alternative designs of a commonly used uncemented femoral stem. (2016)
Journal Article
Al-Najjim, M., Khattak, U., Sim, J., & Chambers, I. (2016). Differences in subsidence rate between alternative designs of a commonly used uncemented femoral stem. Journal of Orthopaedics, 322 - 326. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jor.2016.06.026

INTRODUCTION: Measurement of early subsidence of uncemented femoral stems can be used to evaluate the likelihood of long term stem component loosening and therefore clinical failure. Our aim was to evaluate the factors associated with subsidence in c... Read More about Differences in subsidence rate between alternative designs of a commonly used uncemented femoral stem..

Average symptom trajectories following incident radiographic knee osteoarthritis: data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative (2016)
Journal Article
Whittle, R., Jordan, K. P., Thomas, E., & Peat, G. (2016). Average symptom trajectories following incident radiographic knee osteoarthritis: data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative. RMD Open, https://doi.org/10.1136/rmdopen-2016-000281

Introduction Previous research has identified the existence of a prodromal phase of symptom worsening beginning on average 2–3 years prior to the first appearance of radiographic knee osteoarthritis (OA). The current study extends these observations... Read More about Average symptom trajectories following incident radiographic knee osteoarthritis: data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative.
