A qualitative study of patient and professional perspectives of health care services for multiple sclerosis: implications for service development and policy (2016)
Journal Article
Chew-Graham. (2016). A qualitative study of patient and professional perspectives of health care services for multiple sclerosis: implications for service development and policy. Health and Social Care in the Community, 848-857. https://doi.org/10.1111/hsc.12369

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic degenerative condition, with heterogeneous symptoms, and an unpredictable prognosis. Previous literature suggests patients' experiences of healthcare are unsatisfactory. Primary care may play a key role in the man...

Bayesian inference for joint modelling of longitudinal continuous, binary and ordinal events (2016)
Journal Article
Li, Q., Pan, J., & Belcher, J. (2016). Bayesian inference for joint modelling of longitudinal continuous, binary and ordinal events. Statistical Methods in Medical Research, 25(6), https://doi.org/10.1177/0962280214526199

In medical studies, repeated measurements of continuous, binary and ordinal outcomes are routinely collected from the same patient. Instead of modelling each outcome separately, in this study we propose to jointly model the trivariate longitudinal re...

Symptom recognition and perceived urgency of help-seeking for rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases in the general public: A mixed method approach. (2016)
Journal Article
Simons, G., Belcher, J., Morton, C., Kumar, K., Falahee, M., Mallen, C. D., …Raza, K. (2017).

Arthritis Care and Research, 69(5), 633-641. https://doi.org/10.1002/acr.22979

OBJECTIVE: Clinical outcomes in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are improved if the disease is treated early. However, treatment is often significantly delayed as a result of delayed help-seeking by patients who fail to recognise its symptoms or the need f...

Differences in subsidence rate between alternative designs of a commonly used uncemented femoral stem. (2016)
Journal Article
Al-Najjim, M., Khattak, U., Sim, J., & Chambers, I. (2016). Differences in subsidence rate between alternative designs of a commonly used uncemented femoral stem. Journal of Orthopaedics, 322 - 326. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jor.2016.06.026

INTRODUCTION: Measurement of early subsidence of uncemented femoral stems can be used to evaluate the likelihood of long term stem component loosening and therefore clinical failure. Our aim was to evaluate the factors associated with subsidence in c... Read More about Differences in subsidence rate between alternative designs of a commonly used uncemented femoral stem..

Average symptom trajectories following incident radiographic knee osteoarthritis: data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative (2016)
Journal Article

Introduction Previous research has identified the existence of a prodromal phase of symptom worsening beginning on average 2–3 years prior to the first appearance of radiographic knee osteoarthritis (OA). The current study extends these observations... Read More about Average symptom trajectories following incident radiographic knee osteoarthritis: data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative.

Trends in long-term opioid prescribing in primary care patients with musculoskeletal conditions: an observational database study (2016)
Journal Article
Bedson, J., Chen, Y., Hayward, R. A., Ashworth, J., Walters, K., Dunn, K. M., & Jordan, K. P. (2016). Trends in long-term opioid prescribing in primary care patients with musculoskeletal conditions: an observational database study. PAIN, 157(7), 1525 -1531. https://doi.org/10.1097/j.pain.0000000000000557

Long-term opioids may benefit patients with chronic pain but have also been linked to harmful outcomes. In the United Kingdom, the predominant source of opioids is primary care prescription. The objective was to examine changes in the incidence, leng...

Background Within-person variation in dietary records can lead to biased estimates of the distribution of food intake. Quantile estimation is especially relevant in the case of skewed distributions and in the estimation of under- or over-consumption...
