Smoke-free legislation and paediatric hospitalisations for acute respiratory tract infections: national quasi-experimental study with unexpected findings and important methodological implications (2017)
Journal Article
Been, J. V., Mackay, D. F., Millett, C., Soyiri, I., van Schayck, C. P., Pell, J. P., & Sheikh, A. (2018). Smoke-free legislation and paediatric hospitalisations for acute respiratory tract infections: national quasi-experimental study with unexpected findings and important methodological implications. Tobacco Control, 27(e2), e160-e166. https://doi.org/10.1136/tobaccocontrol-2017-053801

Objectives We investigated whether Scottish implementation of smoke-free legislation was associated with a reduction in unplanned hospitalisations or deaths (‘events’) due to respiratory tract infections (RTIs) among children.

Design Interrupted tim... Read More about Smoke-free legislation and paediatric hospitalisations for acute respiratory tract infections: national quasi-experimental study with unexpected findings and important methodological implications.

Land cover and air pollution are associated with asthma hospitalisations: a cross-sectional study (2017)
Journal Article

Land cover and air pollution are associated with asthma hospitalisations: a cross-sectional study. Environment International, 109, 29-41. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envint.2017.08.009

Background
There is increasing policy interest in the potential for vegetation in urban areas to mitigate harmful effects of air pollution on respiratory health. We aimed to quantify relationships between tree and green space density and asthma-relat...

Background
The manual diagnosis of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and related Dementias has been a challenge. Currently, these disorders are diagnosed using specific clinical diagnostic criteria and neuropsychological ex...
