TL;DR: A strong case for AF screening now is provided while recognizing that large randomized outcomes studies would be helpful to strengthen the evidence base.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The high and largely preventable stroke/thromboembolism risk of those with newly identified AF highlights the likely benefits of community AF screening, and Guideline recommendation of community iECG AF screening should be considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
The general practice research database: role in pharmacovigilance.
Louise Wood,Carlos Martinez +1 more
TL;DR: An update of recent developments to the GPRD and new data available from it — including spontaneously recorded suspected adverse drug reactions — is presented, with a description of how the data can be used to support a variety of pharmacovigilance applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antidepressant treatment and the risk of fatal and non-fatal self harm in first episode depression: nested case-control study
Carlos Martinez,Stephan Rietbrock,Lesley Wise,Deborah Ashby,Jonathan Chick,Jane Moseley,Stephen J. W. Evans,David Gunnell +7 more
TL;DR: There is some weak evidence of an increased risk of non-fatal self harm for current SSRI use among those aged 18 or younger, but preferential prescribing of SSRIs to patients at higher risk of suicidal behaviour cannot be ruled out.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of a diagnosis of fibromyalgia on health care resource use by primary care patients in the UK: an observational study based on clinical practice.
TL;DR: Primary care patients who had been diagnosed as having FM reported higher rates of illness and health care resource use for at least 10 years prior to their diagnosis, which suggests that illness behavior may play a role.
