Heron. (2017). Optimising secondary prevention in the acute period following a TIA of ischaemic origin. BMJ Open Sport & Exercise Medicine, https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjsem-2016-000161

Background
Transient ischaemic attacks (TIAs) are highly prevalent conditions, with at least 46 000 people per year in the UK having a TIA for the first time. TIAs are a warning that the patient is at risk of further vascular events and the 90-day r... Read More about Optimising secondary prevention in the acute period following a TIA of ischaemic origin.

Deriving percentage study weights in multi-parameter meta-analysis models: with application to meta-regression, network meta-analysis and one-stage individual participant data models. (2017)
Journal Article
(2017). Deriving percentage study weights in multi-parameter meta-analysis models: with application to meta-regression, network meta-analysis and one-stage individual participant data models. Statistical Methods in Medical Research, 2885-2905. https://doi.org/10.1177/0962280216688033

Many meta-analysis models contain multiple parameters, for example due to multiple outcomes, multiple treatments or multiple regression coefficients. In particular, meta-regression models may contain multiple study-level covariates, and one-stage ind...

A guide to systematic review and meta-analysis of prediction model performance (2017)
Journal Article
(2017). A guide to systematic review and meta-analysis of prediction model performance. BMJ, https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.i6460

Validation of prediction models is highly recommended and increasingly common in the literature. A
systematic review of validation studies is therefore helpful, with meta-analysis needed to summarise the
predictive performance of the model being va... Read More about A guide to systematic review and meta-analysis of prediction model performance.

Intravenous nitrates are widely used in the management of acute heart failure syndrome (AHFS) yet with lack of robust evidence to support their use. We therefore sought to analyze all randomized studies that evaluated the effects of nitrates on clini...

Chronic widespread pain (CWP) is common in the general population. It is unclear how people reporting this problem present in primary care; they may regularly consult for regional pains without being recognized as having a generalized condition. Our...
