Polychlorinated dibenzo-dioxin/furan and polychlorinated biphenyl concentrations in the human milk of individuals living near municipal waste incinerators in the UK: Findings from the Breast milk, Environment, Early-life, and development (BEED) human biomonitoring study Open
The objective of this study is to report recent PCDD/F and PCB human milk concentrations in the United Kingdom (UK) and relate these to two proxies for exposure to municipal waste incinerator (MWI) emissions. As part of the Breast milk, En…
Independent external validation of the QRISK3 cardiovascular disease risk prediction model using UK Biobank Open
Objective To externally evaluate the performance of QRISK3 for predicting 10 year risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the UK Biobank cohort. Methods We used data from the UK Biobank, a large-scale prospective cohort study of 403 370 pa…
An independent external validation of the QRISK3 cardiovascular risk prediction model applied to UK Biobank participants Open
Background The QRISK3 cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk prediction model was derived using primary care data; however, it is frequently used outside of clinical settings. The use of QRISK3 in epidemiological studies without external valida…
Clinical Prediction Models in Epidemiological Studies: Lessons from the Application of QRISK3 to UK Biobank Data Open
Statistical models for clinical risk prediction are often derived using data from primary care databases; however, they are frequently used outside of clinical settings. The use of prediction models in epidemiological studies without exter…
