2. Epidemiology of childhood fractures in Britain: a study using the general practice research database

The aim of this study was to examine the incidence (age- and sex-specific) of childhood fractures in Britain using the general practice research database

Abstract:

A population-based British cohort study, including approximately 6% of the population, was used to derive age- and sex-specific incidence rates of fractures during childhood. Fractures were more common among boys than girls, with peak incidences at 14 and 11 years of age, respectively. At childhood peak, incidence rates were only surpassed later in life at 85 years of age among women more...

The aim of this study was to examine the annual incidence of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) over a 10-year period in the UK

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the annual incidence of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) over a 10-year period in the UK, and to examine age-, sex-, and region-specific rates. METHODS: The study was based on the UK General Practice Research Database (GPRD), which covers approximately 5% of the UK population. We estimated SLE incidence rates, during the period 1990-1999, among persons more...

6. Is Panton-Valentine leucocidin associated with the pathogenesis of Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia in the UK?

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of Panton-Valentine leucocidin (PVL)-encoding genes among isolates of S. aureus from bacteraemic patients.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The morbidity and mortality associated with Panton-Valentine leucocidin (PVL)-positive Staphylococcus aureus suggest that this toxin is a key marker of disease severity. Nevertheless, the importance of PVL in the pathogenesis of primary bacteraemia caused by S. aureus is uncertain. We have determined the prevalence of PVL-encoding genes among isolates of S. aureus from more...

7. National enhanced surveillance of meningococcal disease in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, January 1999-June 2001

The aim of this study was to examine the incidence meningococcal disease and the enhanced surveillance of meningococcal disease (ESMD) which was implemented nationally across ten regions of England, Wales and Northern Ireland from 1 January 1999.

Abstract:

Enhanced surveillance of meningococcal disease (ESMD) was implemented nationally across ten regions of England, Wales and Northern Ireland from 1 January 1999. It aims to deliver more sensitive surveillance than laboratory reporting by including clinically diagnosed but laboratory unconfirmed cases. Consultants in Communicable Disease Control (CsCDC) report all clinically diagnosed more...

11. Trends in anorexia nervosa in Ireland: A register study

The aim of this study was to examine trends in anorexia nervosa in Ireland between 1977 and 1985 using national registers of psychiatric and general hospital admissions

Abstract:

The assumption that anorexia nervosa has increased in incidence over this century in western societies, mainly in the young female population, has been questioned by recent studies. This paper examines trends in anorexia nervosa in Ireland between 1977 and 1985 using national registers of psychiatric and general hospital admissions. The findings broadly concur with international studies more...
