Prevalence of chronic wounds in the general population: systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies (2018)
Journal Article
Martinengo, L., Olsson, M., Bajpai, R., Soljak, M., Upton, Z., Schmidtchen, A., Car, J., & Jarbrink, K. (2019). Prevalence of chronic wounds in the general population: systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies. Annals of Epidemiology, 29, 8 - 15. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.annepidem.2018.10.005

Purpose
Chronic wounds are a major public health challenge, but little is known about the true burden with studies reporting different estimates because of disparities in study designs and measurement methods. This hampers efficient resource allocat... Read More about Prevalence of chronic wounds in the general population: systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies.

Acute flares of knee osteoarthritis in primary care: a feasibility and pilot case-crossover study (2018)
Journal Article
Thomas, M., Butler-Walley, S., Rathod-Mistry, T., Mayson, Z., Parry, E., Pope, C., Neogi, T., & Peat, G. (2018). Acute flares of knee osteoarthritis in primary care: a feasibility and pilot case-crossover study. Pilot and Feasibility Studies, 4, Article 167. https://doi.org/10.1186/s40814-018-0359-4

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of persistent pain and disability. Traditionally viewed as a slowly progressive disease, the impact of symptom variability on prognosis remains unclear. 'Acute-on-chronic' episodes are a well-recogni...

Meta-analysis of prediction model performance across multiple studies: Which scale helps ensure between-study normality for the C-statistic and calibration measures? (2018)
Journal Article
(2018). Meta-analysis of prediction model performance across multiple studies: Which scale helps ensure between-study normality for the C-statistic and calibration measures?. Statistical Methods in Medical Research, 3505-3522. https://doi.org/10.1177/0962280217705678

If individual participant data are available from multiple studies or clusters, then a prediction model can be externally validated multiple times. This allows the model's discrimination and calibration performance to be examined across different set...

Pathogenic commonalities between spinal muscular atrophy and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: converging roads to therapeutic development (2018)
Journal Article
Bowerman, M., Murray, L., Scamps, F., Schneider, B., Kothary, R., & Raoul, C. (2018). Pathogenic commonalities between spinal muscular atrophy and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: converging roads to therapeutic development. European Journal of Medical Genetics, 685-698. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejmg.2017.12.001

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are the two most common motoneuron disorders, which share typical pathological hallmarks while remaining genetically distinct. Indeed, SMA is caused by deletions or mutations in th...
