Richard D Neal,Puvan Tharmanathan,Nafees Ud Din,Samuel Cotton,Julia Fallon-Ferguson,William Hamilton,Annie Hendry,Maggie Hendry,Ruth Lewis,Una Macleod,Elizabeth Mitchell,M Pickett,Tekendra K Rai,K Shaw,Nicholas Stuart,Marie Louise Tørring,Clare Wilkinson,Briony Williams,Nefyn Williams,Jon Emery +19 more
TL;DR: This is the first review encompassing many cancer types, and it is demonstrated that efforts to expedite the diagnosis of symptomatic cancer are likely to have benefits for patients in terms of improved survival, earlier-stage diagnosis and improved quality of life, although these benefits vary between cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of cancer diagnostic intervals before and after implementation of NICE guidelines: analysis of data from the UK General Practice Research Database.
Richard D Neal,Nafees Ud Din,William Hamilton,Obioha C Ukoumunne,Ben Carter,Sally Stapley,Greg Rubin +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the implementation of the 2005 NICE Guidelines may have contributed to this reduction in diagnostic intervals between 2001–2002 and 2007–2008 and remains considerable scope to achieve more timely cancer diagnosis, with the ultimate aim of improving cancer outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
An evaluation of the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of the National Exercise Referral Scheme in Wales, UK: a randomised controlled trial of a public health policy initiative
Simon Murphy,Rhiannon Tudor Edwards,Nefyn Williams,Lawrence Matthew Raisanen,Graham Moore,Pat Linck,Natalia Hounsome,Nafees Ud Din,Laurence Moore +8 more
TL;DR: NERS did not influence physical activity but was associated with reduced anxiety and depression among mental health referrals, and NERS is likely to be cost effective with respect to prevailing payer thresholds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative clinical effectiveness of management strategies for sciatica: systematic review and network meta-analyses.
Ruth Lewis,Nefyn Williams,Alex J. Sutton,Kim Burton,Nafees Ud Din,Hosam E. Matar,Maggie Hendry,Ceri Phillips,Sadia Nafees,Deborah Fitzsimmons,Ian Rickard,Clare Wilkinson +11 more
TL;DR: The findings support the effectiveness of nonopioid medication, epidural injections, and disc surgery and suggest that spinal manipulation, acupuncture, and experimental treatments, such as anti-inflammatory biological agents, may be considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
The clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of management strategies for sciatica: systematic review and economic model.
Ruth Lewis,Nefyn Williams,Hosam E. Matar,Nafees Ud Din,Deborah Fitzsimmons,Ceri Phillips,M Jones,Alex J. Sutton,K Burton,Sadia Nafees,Maggie Hendry,I Rickard,R Chakraverty,Clare Wilkinson +13 more
TL;DR: Support is provided for the effectiveness of currently used therapies for sciatica such as non-opioid medication, epidural corticosteroid injections and disc surgery, but also for chemonucleolysis, which is no longer used in the UK NHS.
