Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and sarcoidosis are common diagnoses in patients attending chest clinics, but little is known about the epidemiology of these diseases. We used data from a general practice database to provide information on current incidence IPF UK.Data were extracted for all with diagnosis or between 1991 2003. The whole population was calculate disease stratified by age, sex, region, time period. Poisson regression compare populations Cox survival populations.920 cases...

<b>Objective:</b> To examine the seroprevalence, correlates, and characteristics of undetected coeliac disease in a large adult population sample Cambridge, UK. <b>Methods:</b> The Cambridge General Practice Health Study invited individuals from 12 general practices, aged 45–76 years, to attend for health survey that included bone density measurement, between 1990 1995. A total 7550 participants’ serum samples were tested antiendomysial antibody (EMA). Seroprevalence was based on EMA...

<h3>Background</h3> Previous studies have shown that the incidence of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is rising in UK and USA. Death registrations primary care data were used to determine current trends IPF UK. Because routine clinical sets used, term syndrome (IPF-CS) describe individuals this study. <h3>Methods</h3> Age- stratum-specific death registration rates between 1968 2008 calculated these applied population generate annual standardised expected number deaths. Annual mortality...

Few studies have quantified the incidence and prevalence of celiac disease (CD) dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) nationally regionally by time age groups. Understanding this epidemiology is crucial for hypothesizing about causes quantifying burden disease.Patients with CD or DH were identified in Clinical Practice Research Datalink between 1990 2011. Incidence rates calculated age, sex, year, region residence. rate ratios (IRR) adjusted Poisson regression.A total 9,087 incident cases 809...

Summary Knowledge of the absolute and relative risk venous thromboembolism (VTE) in around pregnancy would be crucial identifying when to commence cease thromboprophylaxis women who benefit from such intervention. We addressed this hypothesis using a large prospective primary care database United Kingdom, containing details on 972 683 aged 15–44 years between 1987 2004. Risks first VTE during antepartum, postpartum outside were compared Poisson regression. The rate third trimester antepartum...

In the last two decades, mortality from primary liver cancer has increased in UK. We aimed to determine whether incidence trends for these cancers were similar and particular if increasing occurrence of cholangiocarcinoma continued. calculated directly age-standardised rates (using European standard population) by subsite histological type all liver, gallbladder biliary tract England Wales 1971 2001, using registry data. The increased, with greatest rise, around 12-fold, intrahepatic bile...

Abstract Background: Mortality due to cirrhosis has tripled over the last 30 years in UK. However, we lack adequate, contemporary, population‐based estimates of excess mortality patients who are at risk compared with general population. Aim: To determine overall survival population taking into account effects severity and aetiology disease comorbidity. Methods: In a cohort study, identified 4537 people control 44 403 patients, matched by age, sex practice from UK General Practice Research...

OBJECTIVES: Azathioprine is an accepted treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but concerns exist regarding its carcinogenic potential. Studies in renal transplant and rheumatology patients have reported increased cancer risk. In IBD, studies suggest a small risk lymphoma protection against colorectal cancer, the overall malignancy has not been established. METHODS: We conducted nested case–control study using General Practice Research Database. Records IBD were examined for...

Aliment Pharmacol Ther 2010; 32: 1343–1350 Summary Background We lack population‐based estimates of the rate decompensation in people with compensated cirrhosis as well manner which disease progresses once identified. Aim To determine and clinical progression patients based upon symptoms recorded electronically general practice data. Methods Using Cox proportional hazards regression, we modelled for from UK General Practice Research Database a diagnosis between 1987 2002. determined first...
