Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation as adjunct to primary care management for tennis elbow: (2014)
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...

Statistical analysis plan for the Stroke Oxygen Study (SO2S): a multi-center randomized controlled trial to assess whether routine oxygen supplementation in the first 72 hours after a stroke improves long-term outcome. (2014)
Journal Article
Ives, N., Sim, J., Gray, R., Roffe, C., Nevatte, T., & Howman, A. (2014). Statistical analysis plan for the Stroke Oxygen Study (SO2S): a multi-center randomized controlled trial to assess whether routine oxygen supplementation in the first 72 hours after a stroke improves long-term outcome. Trials, 15, Article ARTN 229. https://doi.org/10.1186/1745-6215-15-229

BACKGROUND: The Stroke Oxygen Study (SO2S) is a multi-center randomized controlled trial of oxygen supplementation in patients with acute stroke. The main hypothesis for the trial is that fixed-dose oxygen treatment during the first 3 days after an a...

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 Stroke Oxygen Study (SO2S) - a multi-center, study to assess whether routine oxygen treatment in the first 72 hours after a stroke improves long-term outcome: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial. (2014)
Journal Article
Roffe, C., Nevatte, T., Crome, P., Gray, R., Sim, J., Pountain, S., …Handy, P. (2014). The Stroke Oxygen Study (SO2S) - a multi-center, study to assess whether routine oxygen treatment in the first 72 hours after a stroke improves long-term outcome: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial. Trials, 15, Article 99. https://doi.org/10.1186/1745-6215-15-99

BACKGROUND: Mild hypoxia is common in stroke patients and may have significant adverse effects on the ischemic brain after stroke. The use of oxygen treatment is rapidly increasing in European stroke units but is not without side effects. It impedes...

Evaluating the effectiveness of domestic abuse prevention education: Are certain children more or less receptive to the messages conveyed? (2014)
Journal Article
Fox, C., Corr, M., Gadd, D., & Sim, J. (2014). Evaluating the effectiveness of domestic abuse prevention education: Are certain children more or less receptive to the messages conveyed?. Legal and Criminological Psychology, 212-227. https://doi.org/10.1111/lcrp.12046

Purpose
A number of school-based domestic abuse prevention programmes have been developed in the United Kingdom, but evidence as to the effectiveness of such programmes is limited. The aim of the research was to evaluate the effectiveness of one suc...
