Effect on hospital length of stay of tourniquet use during internal fixation of ankle fracture: randomized controlled trial (2018)
Journal Article
Sim, J., Grocott, N., Majeed, H., & McClelland, D. (2019). Effect on hospital length of stay of tourniquet use during internal fixation of ankle fracture: randomized controlled trial. Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery, 58(1), 114-118. https://doi.org/10.1053/j.jfas.2018.08.023

Approximately 50% of ankle fractures require internal fixation. A tourniquet is often employed to create a bloodless operative field, but its effect on hospital length of stay (LOS) is unclear. This paper reports a parallel-group observer-blinded ran...

MoTaStim-Foot, a Randomized, Single-Blinded, Mixed-Methods, Feasibility Study Exploring Sensory Stimulation of the Foot and Ankle Early Poststroke (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Aries, A. M., Pomeroy, V. M., Sim, J., Read, S., & Hunter, S. M. (2018, November). MoTaStim-Foot, a Randomized, Single-Blinded, Mixed-Methods, Feasibility Study Exploring Sensory Stimulation of the Foot and Ankle Early Poststroke. Presented at 2018 American Society of Neurorehabilitation Annual Meeting, San Diego, CA. United States

Introduction: It is not known whether increasing somatosensation of the foot could improve walking recovery after stroke. This study was undertaken to investigate the feasibility of conducting a future randomized controlled trial (RCT) to determine w...

The sample size debate: response to Norman Blaikie (2018)
Journal Article
Sim, J., Saunders, B., Waterfield, J., & Kingstone, T. (2018). The sample size debate: response to Norman Blaikie. International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 21(5), https://doi.org/10.1080/13645579.2018.1454642

In his detailed response to our paper on sample size in qualitative research, Norman Blaikie raises important issues concerning conceptual definitions and taxonomy. In particular, he points out the problems associated with a loose, generic applicatio... Read More about The sample size debate: response to Norman Blaikie.

Can sample size in qualitative research be determined a priori? (2018)
Journal Article
Sim, J., Saunders, B., Waterfield, J., & Kingstone, T. (2018). Can sample size in qualitative research be determined a priori?. International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 5, https://doi.org/10.1080/13645579.2018.1454643

There has been considerable recent interest in methods of determining sample size for qualitative research a priori, rather than through an adaptive approach such as saturation. Extending previous literature in this area, we identify four distinct ap... Read More about Can sample size in qualitative research be determined a priori?.

Routine low-dose continuous or nocturnal oxygen for people with acute stroke: three-arm Stroke Oxygen Supplementation RCT. (2018)
Journal Article
Bishop, J., Sim, J., Penaloza, C., Jowett, S., Gray, R., Ferdinand, P., …Roffe, C. (2018). Routine low-dose continuous or nocturnal oxygen for people with acute stroke: three-arm Stroke Oxygen Supplementation RCT. Health Technology Assessment, 22(14), 1 - 88. https://doi.org/10.3310/hta22140

BACKGROUND: Stroke is a major cause of death and disability worldwide. Hypoxia is common after stroke and is associated with worse outcomes. Oxygen supplementation could prevent hypoxia and secondary brain damage. OBJECTIVES: (1) To assess whether or...

Interpreting intracorporeal landscapes: how patients visualize pathophysiology and utilize medical images in their understanding of chronic musculoskeletal illness (2018)
Journal Article
Moore, A. J., Richardson, J. C., Bernard, M., & Sim, J. (2019). Interpreting intracorporeal landscapes: how patients visualize pathophysiology and utilize medical images in their understanding of chronic musculoskeletal illness. Disability and Rehabilitation, 41(14), 1647 - 1654. https://doi.org/10.1080/09638288.2018.1443162

Medical science and other sources, such as the media, increasingly inform the general public's understanding of disease. There is often discordance between this understanding and the diagnostic interpretations of health care practitioners (HCPs). In...
