TL;DR: The Aarhus checklist is a resource for early cancer-diagnosis research that should promote greater precision and transparency in both definitions and methods and should be used when designing and conducting studies in this field.
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patient-reported measurement of time to diagnosis in cancer: development of the Cancer Symptom Interval Measure (C-SIM) and randomised controlled trial of method of delivery
Richard D Neal,Sadia Nafees,Diana Pasterfield,Kerenza Hood,Maggie Hendry,Simon Gollins,Matthew Makin,Nick Stuart,Jim Turner,Benjamin Richard Carter,Clare Wilkinson,Nefyn Williams,Michael Robling +12 more
TL;DR: A tool for collecting patient-reported data relating to appraisal intervals, help-seeking intervals, and diagnostic intervals in the cancer diagnostic pathway for 11 separate cancers is developed and tested and provided evidence of its acceptability, feasibility and validity.
Journal ArticleDOI
A systematic review and meta-analysis of biological treatments targeting tumour necrosis factor α for sciatica
Nefyn Williams,Ruth Lewis,Nafees Ud Din,Hosam E. Matar,Deborah Fitzsimmons,Ceri Phillips,Alex J. Sutton,Kim Burton,Maggie Hendry,Sadia Nafees,Clare Wilkinson +10 more
TL;DR: There was insufficient evidence to recommend these agents when treating sciatica, but sufficient evidence is needed to suggest that larger RCTs are needed.
