Estimating productivity costs using the friction cost approach in practice: a systematic review (2014)
Journal Article
Kigozi, J., Jowett, S., Lewis, M., Barton, P., & Coast, J. (2016). Estimating productivity costs using the friction cost approach in practice: a systematic review. European Journal of Health Economics, 17(1), 31-44. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10198-014-0652-y

Introduction The choice of the most appropriate approach to valuing productivity loss has received much debate in the literature. The friction cost approach has been proposed as a more appropriate alternative to the human capital approach when valui...

Journal Article
Chesterton, L. S., Lewis, A. M., Sim, J., Mallen, C. D., Mason, E. E., Hay, E. M., & van der Windt, D. A. (2014). Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation as adjunct to primary care management for tennis elbow:. British Journal of Sports Medicine, 1458 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1136/bjsports-2013-f5160rep

Can transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), as a patient controlled adjunct to primary care management for tennis elbow, provide superior pain relief to primary care management alone.

A systematic review finds variable use of the intention-to-treat principle in musculoskeletal randomized controlled trials with missing data (2014)
Journal Article
Joseph, R., Sim, J., Ogollah, R., & Lewis, M. (2015). A systematic review finds variable use of the intention-to-treat principle in musculoskeletal randomized controlled trials with missing data. Journal of Clinical Epidemiology, 15 - 24. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclinepi.2014.09.002

OBJECTIVES: In randomized trials, the primary analysis should be consistent with the intention-to-treat (ITT) principle and should address missing data appropriately to draw valid inferences. This review focuses on current practices relating to the I...

Bias, precision and statistical power of analysis of covariance in the analysis of randomized trials with baseline imbalance: a simulation study (2014)
Journal Article
Egbewale, B. E., Lewis, M., & Sim, J. (2014). Bias, precision and statistical power of analysis of covariance in the analysis of randomized trials with baseline imbalance: a simulation study. BMC medical research methodology, 14(1), https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2288-14-49

Analysis of variance (ANOVA), change-score analysis (CSA) and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) respond differently to baseline imbalance in randomized controlled trials. However, no empirical studies appear to have quantified the differential bias and...

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence OA guidelines (2008) recommend that future research should address multisite joint pain as it is more severe and disabling than single site joint pain. The aim of this study was to describe the pr... Read More about 40. The Increased Risk of Self-Reported Primary Care Consultations Attributable to Multisite Peripheral Joint Pain.
