Prognostic factors and models for predicting work absence in adults with musculoskeletal conditions consulting a healthcare practitioner: A systematic review (2024)
Journal Article

Abstract Purpose It is difficult to predict which employees, in particular those with musculoskeletal pain, will return to work quickly without additional vocational advice and support, which employees will require this support and what levels...

Chronic pain-mental health comorbidity and excess prevalence of health risk behaviours: a cross-sectional study (2024)
Journal Article

Background: Chronic musculoskeletal pain and anxiety/depression are significant public health problems. We hypothesised that adults with both conditions constitute a group at especially high risk of future cardiovascular health outcomes. Aim: To dete...

Demographic, health, physical activity, and workplace factors are associated with lower healthy working life expectancy and life expectancy at age 50 (2024)
Journal Article

Although retirement ages are rising in the United Kingdom and other countries, the average number of years people in England can expect to spend both healthy and work from age 50 (Healthy Working Life Expectancy; HWLE) is less than the number of year... Read More about Demographic, health, physical activity, and workplace factors are associated with lower healthy working life expectancy and life expectancy at age 50.

The clinical characteristics, managements, and outcomes of acute myocardial infarction in osteoarthritis patients; a cross-sectional analysis of 6.5 million patients. (2024)
Journal Article

The prevalence of osteoarthritis (OA) and cardiovascular disease are increasing and both conditions share similar risk factors. We investigated the association between OA and receipt of invasive managements and clinical outcomes in patients with acut...

Persistent high prevalence of modifiable cardiovascular risk factors among patients with osteoarthritis in the UK in 1992–2017 (2023)
Journal Article

Objectives: To compare the annual and period prevalence of modifiable cardiovascular risk factors (MCVRFs) between populations with and without osteoarthritis (OA) in the UK over 25 years. Methods: 215 190 patients aged 35 years and over from the...

Persistent inequalities in consultation incidence and prevalence of low back pain and osteoarthritis in England between 2004-2019 (2022)
Journal Article

Objective To determine whether socioeconomic inequalities in primary care consultation rates for two major, disabling musculoskeletal conditions in England narrowed or widened between 2004-2019. Methods We analysed data from Clinical Practice Re... Read More about Persistent inequalities in consultation incidence and prevalence of low back pain and osteoarthritis in England between 2004-2019.

2021 EULAR points to consider to support people with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases to participate in healthy and sustainable paid work (2022)
Journal Article

As part of its strategic objectives for 2023, EULAR aims to improve the work participation of people with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs). One strategic initiative focused on the development of overarching points to consider (PtC) to s...

Do recommended interventions widen or narrow inequalities in musculoskeletal health? An equity-focussed systematic review of differential effectiveness (2022)
Journal Article

Background It is unclear whether seven interventions recommended by Public Health England for preventing and managing common musculoskeletal conditions reduce or widen health inequalities in adults with musculoskeletal conditions. Methods We used cit... Read More about Do recommended interventions widen or narrow inequalities in musculoskeletal health? An equity-focussed systematic review of differential effectiveness.

Trends in the Annual Consultation Incidence and Prevalence of Low Back Pain and Osteoarthritis in England from 2000 to 2019: Comparative Estimates from Two Clinical Practice Databases (2022)
Journal Article

Purpose: To compare estimates of annual person-consulting incidence and prevalence of low back pain (LBP) and osteoarthritis for two national English electronic health record databases (Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) Aurum and CPRD GOLD).... Read More about Trends in the Annual Consultation Incidence and Prevalence of Low Back Pain and Osteoarthritis in England from 2000 to 2019: Comparative Estimates from Two Clinical Practice Databases.

Healthy working life expectancy at age 50 for people with and without osteoarthritis in local and national English populations. (2022)
Journal Article

Retirement ages are rising in many countries to offset the challenges of population ageing, but osteoarthritis is an age-associated disease that is becoming more prevalent and may limit capacity to work until older ages. We aimed to assess the impact... Read More about Healthy working life expectancy at age 50 for people with and without osteoarthritis in local and national English populations..

Prevalence of Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Osteoarthritis Patients Derived from Primary Care Records: A Systematic Review of Observational Studies. (2021)
Journal Article

Background: People with osteoarthritis are at a high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Detecting CVD risk factors in this high-risk population will help to improve CVD outcomes. Primary care electronic health records (EHRs) provide opportunities...

338 Modelling the population distribution of patient-reported outcomes using electronic health records: a UK study (2021)
Journal Article

Background Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROM) collected in surveys allow understanding of the health at the population-level. We aimed to test the feasibility of estimating health status as measured by PROMs through ecological prediction model...

496Higher predicted 10-year risk for cardiovascular disease in primary care consulters for osteoarthritis (2021)
Journal Article

Abstract Background Osteoarthritis (OA) has a major impact on the global burden of disease and is associated with poorer cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes. However it’s unclear whether people with OA have higher long-term (10-year) CVD risk comp...
