Journal ArticleDOI
Development and validation of an electronic frailty index using routine primary care electronic health record data
Andrew Clegg,Chris Bates,John Young,Ronan Ryan,Linda Nichols,Elizabeth Teale,Mohammed A Mohammed,John Parry,Tom Marshall +8 more
TL;DR: Routine implementation of the eFI could enable delivery of evidence-based interventions to improve outcomes for this vulnerable group of older people with mild, moderate and severe frailty, with robust predictive validity for outcomes of mortality, hospitalisation and nursing home admission.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of walking on risk factors for cardiovascular disease: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised control trials
Elaine M. Murtagh,Linda Nichols,Mohammed A Mohammed,Roger Holder,Alan M. Nevill,Marie H. Murphy +5 more
TL;DR: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised control trials that examined the effect of walking on risk factors for cardiovascular disease underscores the central role of walking in physical activity for health promotion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Osteoarthritis and meniscus disorders of the knee as occupational diseases of miners
G McMillan,Linda Nichols +1 more
TL;DR: There was sufficient evidence to conclude that work involving kneeling and/or squatting is causally associated with an increased risk of osteoarthritis of the knee, and in some of the more recent epidemiologically sound studies, frequent or prolonged kneeling or squatting doubles the general risk of arthritis found in the general population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Survival following a diagnosis of heart failure in primary care
TL;DR: In a primary care population, the survival of patients diagnosed with heart failure did not improved over time and further research is needed to explain these trends and to find strategies to improve outlook.
Journal ArticleDOI

Samuel J. Ford,Peyman Obeidy,Db Lovejoy,Matthew Bedford,Linda Nichols,C Chadwick,Olga Tucker,Gyl Lui,Ds Kalinowski,Pj Jansson,Tariq Iqbal,Derek Alderson,Richardson,Chris Tselepis +13 more
TL;DR: Growing evidence implicates iron in the aetiology of gastrointestinal cancer, and studies demonstrate that iron chelators possess potent anti‐tumour activity, although whether iron che lators show activity against oesophageal cancer is not known.
