Journal Article
Venkatasubramaniam, A., Mehta, T., Chetter, I., Bryce, J., Renwick, P., Johnson, B., Wilkinson, A., & McCollum, P. (2004). The value of abdominal examination in the diagnosis of abdominal aortic aneurysm. European journal of vascular and endovascular surgery : the official journal of the European Society for Vascular Surgery, 27(1), 56-60. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejvs.2003.09.006

Background. There is considerable variability in the reported value of clinical examination in the diagnosis of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). This study aims to assess accuracy of abdominal examination by a doctor, a nurse and the patient in the...

Is disease specific quality of life analysis necessary in intermittent claudication?  (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mehta, T., Chetter, I., Venkatasubramaniam, A. K., Mylankal, K., Ray, B., & McCollum, P. Is disease specific quality of life analysis necessary in intermittent claudication? 

This study aimed to assess the validity and responsiveness of three disease-specific QoL instruments in intermittent claudication.

Disease-specific quality of life assessment in intermittent claudication: review (2003)
Journal Article
Mehta, T., Subramaniam, A., Chetter, I., & McCollum, P. (2003). Disease-specific quality of life assessment in intermittent claudication: review. European journal of vascular and endovascular surgery : the official journal of the European Society for Vascular Surgery, 25(3), 202-208. https://doi.org/10.1053/ejvs.2002.1837

Objectives: intermittent claudication (IC) is a common condition that has a major impact on the patients' quality of life (QoL). Generic QoL instruments often lack sensitivity to detect small but clinically significant variation in QoL. Disease-speci...

A Bayesian hierarchical approach to comparative audit for carotid surgery (2002)
Journal Article
Kuhan, G., Marshall, E., Abidia, A., Chetter, I., & McCollum, P. (2002). A Bayesian hierarchical approach to comparative audit for carotid surgery. European journal of vascular and endovascular surgery : the official journal of the European Society for Vascular Surgery, 24(6), 505-510. https://doi.org/10.1053/ejvs.2002.1763

Objectives: the aim of this study was to illustrate how a Bayesian hierarchical modelling approach can aid the reliable comparison of outcome rates between surgeons. Design: retrospective analysis of prospective and retrospective data. Materials: bin... Read More about A Bayesian hierarchical approach to comparative audit for carotid surgery.

How effective is acute normovolaemic haemodilution in femoro-distal bypass surgery? (2002)
Journal Article
Spark, J., Chetter, I., Kester, R., & Scott, D. (2002). How effective is acute normovolaemic haemodilution in femoro-distal bypass surgery?. Cardiovascular Surgery -Oxford-, 10(5), 460-463. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0967-2109%2802%2900060-1

Background: Recent guidelines have emphasised the use of autologous blood in the surgical setting. The aim of this study was to analyse the efficacy and efficiency of acute normovolaemic haemodilution (ANH) as a blood conservation intervention in pat...

Background: The aims of this study were to identify factors that influence the risk of stroke or death following carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and to develop a model to aid in comparative audit of vascular surgeons and units. Methods: A series of 839... Read More about Risk modelling study for carotid endarterectomy.
