Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of polypharmacy in a Scottish primary care population
Rupert Payne,Anthony J Avery,Martin Duerden,Catherine L. Saunders,Colin R Simpson,Gary A. Abel +5 more
TL;DR: A cross-sectional analysis of adult electronic primary healthcare records was conducted and linear regression models were used to examine the association between the number of medicines prescribed regularly and both multimorbidity and specific clinical conditions, adjusting for age, gender and socioeconomic deprivation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Meta-analysis of genome-wide linkage studies in BMI and obesity.

Collier +45 more
TL;DR: The objective was to provide an overall assessment of genetic linkage data of BMI and BMI‐defined obesity using a nonparametric genome scan meta‐analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variation in promptness of presentation among 10,297 patients subsequently diagnosed with one of 18 cancers: Evidence from a National Audit of Cancer Diagnosis in Primary Care
Stuart Keeble,Gary A. Abel,Catherine L. Saunders,Sean McPhail,Fiona M Walter,Richard D Neal,Gregory Rubin,Georgios Lyratzopoulos +7 more
TL;DR: Routinely recorded patient interval data reveal considerable variation in the promptness of presentation, which can help to prioritise public awareness initiatives and research focusing on symptoms of cancers associated with greater risk of non‐prompt presentation, such as oro‐pharyngeal and oesophageal cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heritability and gene-environment interactions for melanocytic nevus density examined in a U.K. adolescent twin study
Rachel C. Wachsmuth,Rupert M. Gaut,Jennifer H. Barrett,Catherine L. Saunders,Juliette Randerson-Moor,A. Eldridge,Nicholas G. Martin,Timothy Bishop D,Julia A. Newton Bishop +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that emergence of nevi in adolescents is under strong genetic control, whereas environmental exposures affect the mean number of nevus, which is consistent with high heritability.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relative length of the patient and the primary care interval in patients with 28 common and rarer cancers
Georgios Lyratzopoulos,Catherine L. Saunders,Gary A. Abel,Sean McPhail,Richard D Neal,Jane Wardle,Greg Rubin +6 more
TL;DR: The findings support the continuing development and evaluation of public health interventions aimed at shortening patient intervals, particularly for cancers with long patient interval and/or high patient interval over primary care interval ratio.
