NHS waiting lists and evidence of national or local failure: analysis of health service data
Richard M. Martin,Jonathan A C Sterne,David Gunnell,Shah Ebrahim,George Davey Smith,Stephen Frankel +5 more
TL;DR: In most instances, substantial numbers of patients waiting unacceptably long periods for elective surgery were limited to a small number of hospitals and little and inconsistent support was found for associations of prolonged waiting with markers of capacity, independent sector activity, or need in the surgical specialties examined.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors combined data on 159,701 siblings from 17 cohorts to generate population and within-sibship (within-family) estimates of genome-wide genetic associations for 25 phenotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blood pressure, haemorrhagic stroke, and ischaemic stroke: the Korean national prospective occupational cohort study
TL;DR: Examination of the association of blood pressure with subtype of stroke in a large cohort of Korean civil servants found a stronger association with haemorrhagic stroke than with ischaemic stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infant nutrition and blood pressure in early adulthood: the Barry Caerphilly Growth study
TL;DR: The findings are consistent with the hypothesis that high blood pressure in later life is influenced by early postnatal nutrition, and interventions to optimize infant nutrition may have important long-term health benefits.

TL;DR: A GWAS and two-sample Mendelian randomization using TSH index variants as instrumental variables suggests a protective effect of higher TSH levels (indicating lower thyroid function) on risk of thyroid cancer and goiter.
