Limited utility of faecal immunochemical testing in a colorectal cancer screening programme for adults with cystic fibrosis: insights from a prospective UK study Open
Objective People with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) are at significantly increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), prompting international recommendations for earlier screening with colonoscopy. The utility of faecal immunochemical testing (FIT)…

Utility of the Respiratory Compensation Point for Estimating Critical Power: Insights From Normoxia and Hypoxia Open
We examined the validity of the respiratory compensation point (RCP) in estimating critical power (CP) by determining the relative agreement between them following an acute intervention, hypoxia, which reduces RCP and CP. RCP and CP were d…

Healthy Ageing for All? A Health Growth Incidence Curve Approach Open
We propose and apply a framework that analyses the distributional impact of episodes of overall health growth or decline. We use local smoothing to model the relationship between health outcomes and relative income rank and we introduce He…

Biological age and predicting future health care utilisation Open
We explore the role of epigenetic biological age in predicting subsequent health care utilisation. We use longitudinal data from the UK Understanding Society panel, capitalising on the availability of baseline epigenetic biological age mea…

Inequality of opportunity in the double burden of malnutrition in Mexico Open
This paper proposes a pseudo‐birth‐cohort approach to deal with a lack of longitudinal data to measure health inequities over time. Using Roemer's framework for inequality of opportunity, this study measures ex‐ante and ex‐post inequalitie…

Regression discontinuity design with principal stratification in the mixed proportional hazard model: an application to the long-run impact of education on longevity Open
We investigate the long-run impact of education on longevity using data for England and Wales from the Health and Lifestyle Survey. Longevity is modelled by survival analysis using a mixed proportional hazard model. For identification we p…

Human capital consequences of missing out on a grammar school education Open
This paper disentangles the effect of selective schooling on long-term human capital from that of individual background. The study design proxies entry test scores for selective secondary schools in England with historical data, estimating…

A cross‐sectional evaluation of the current state of wound healing education in the United Kingdom's undergraduate medical curriculum Open
Between 2013 and 2018, there has been a 71% increase in the number of patients who have required wound care in the NHS and such large numbers has placed a significant burden on healthcare systems. However, there is currently no evidence as…

Meshfree Methods for PDEs on Surfaces Open
This dissertation focuses on meshfree methods for solving surface partial differential equations (PDEs). These PDEs arise in many areas of science and engineering where they are used to model phenomena ranging from atmospheric dynamics on …

Model-based Recursive Partitioning to Estimate Unfair Health Inequalities in the United Kingdom Household Longitudinal Study Open
We measure unfair health inequality in the UK using a novel data- driven empirical approach. We explain health variability as the result of circumstances beyond individual control and health-related behaviours. We do this using model-based…

Labor supply and informal care responses to health shocks within couples: Evidence from the UK Open
Shocks to health have been shown to reduce labor supply for the individual affected. Less is known about household self‐insurance through a partner's response. Previous studies have presented inconclusive empirical evidence on the existenc…

Longitudinal assessment of lung clearance index to monitor disease progression in children and adults with cystic fibrosis Open
Background Lung clearance index (LCI) is a valuable research tool in cystic fibrosis (CF) but clinical application has been limited by technical challenges and uncertainty about how to interpret longitudinal change. In order to help inform…
