Journal ArticleDOI
Interventions to improve the appropriate use of polypharmacy for older people
Susan Patterson,Cathal A. Cadogan,Ngaire Kerse,Christopher Cardwell,Marie C. Bradley,Cristín Ryan,Carmel Hughes +6 more
TL;DR: It is unclear whether interventions to improve appropriate polypharmacy, such as pharmaceutical care, resulted in clinically significant improvement; however, they appear beneficial in terms of reducing inappropriate prescribing.
Journal ArticleDOI
A meta‐analysis of the association between Caesarean section and childhood asthma
TL;DR: A large number of children born by Caesarean section have modified intestinal bacterial colonization and consequently may have an increased risk of developing asthma under the hygiene hypothesis, and this study aims to investigate this association.
Journal ArticleDOI
Caesarean section is associated with an increased risk of childhood-onset type 1 diabetes mellitus: a meta-analysis of observational studies.
Christopher Cardwell,Lars C. Stene,Geir Joner,Ondrej Cinek,Jannet Svensson,Michael J Goldacre,Roger C Parslow,Paolo Pozzilli,Girts Brigis,Denka Stoyanov,B. Urbonaite,Sandra Sipetic,Edith Schober,Constantin Ionescu-Tirgoviste,G. Devoti,C De Beaufort,Karsten Buschard,Christopher Patterson +17 more
TL;DR: This analysis demonstrates a 20% increase in the risk of childhood-onset type 1 diabetes after Caesarean section delivery that cannot be explained by known confounders.
Journal ArticleDOI
A systematic review of population based epidemiological studies in Myasthenia Gravis
TL;DR: There is evidence of increasing frequency of MG with year of study and improved study quality, which probably reflects improved case ascertainment and other factors must also influence disease onset resulting in the observed variation in IR across geographically and genetically similar populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Incidence of Esophageal Cancer and High-Grade Dysplasia in Barrett's Esophagus: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Fouad Yousef,Christopher Cardwell,Marie M. Cantwell,Karen Galway,Brian T. Johnston,Liam J. Murray +5 more
TL;DR: The pooled estimates of cancer and HGD incidence were low, suggesting that the cost-effectiveness of surveillance is questionable unless it can be targeted to those with the highest cancer risk.
