Presentation / Conference
Muller, S., Paskins, Z., Hider, S., Mallen, C., Roddy, E., & Bucknall, M. (2014, November). Bisphosphonates and Risk of Acute Pseudogout: A Case-Control Study in the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD). Poster presented at 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting, Boston, MA, usa

Background/Purpose: Acute pseudogout is the most dramatic clinical manifestation of calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition (CPPD). CPPD is most commonly sporadic and age-related but can rarely occur secondary to metabolic diseases or a familial tra...

Fatigue as a precursor to polymyalgia rheumatica: an explorative retrospective cohort study. (2014)
Journal Article
Mallen, Hider, & Muller. (2014). Fatigue as a precursor to polymyalgia rheumatica: an explorative retrospective cohort study. Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology, 219 - 223. https://doi.org/10.3109/03009742.2014.959047

OBJECTIVES: Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is the commonest inflammatory disorder of older adults. Although not part of the recently published classification criteria, patients with PMR frequently complain of fatigue. We compared consultation for fatig...

Risk of vascular events in patients with polymyalgia rheumatica. (2014)
Journal Article
Hancock, A. T., Mallen, C. D., Muller, S., Belcher, J., Roddy, E., Helliwell, T., & Hider, S. L. (2014). Risk of vascular events in patients with polymyalgia rheumatica. Canadian Medical Association Journal, 186(13), E495 - E501. https://doi.org/10.1503/cmaj.140266

BACKGROUND: Polymyalgia rheumatica is one of the most common inflammatory rheumatologic conditions in older adults. Other inflammatory rheumatologic disorders are associated with an excess risk of vascular disease. We investigated whether polymyalgia...

Objectives To determine whether gout increases risk of incident coronary heart disease (CHD), cerebrovascular (CVD) and peripheral vascular disease (PVD) in a large cohort of primary care patients with gout, since there have been no such large studie...

HOW DO GENERAL PRACTITIONERS IDENTIFY GIANT CELL ARTERITIS (GCA)? (2014)
Journal Article

Background Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA) is the commonest large vessel vasculitis yet a full time UK general practitioner (GP) can expect to see just 1 case every 1-2 years [Barraclough]. GCA may be difficult to identify, particularly in atypical cases.... Read More about HOW DO GENERAL PRACTITIONERS IDENTIFY GIANT CELL ARTERITIS (GCA)?.
