Our new paper finds the Cambridge multimorbidity score predicts death, GP consultation and cancer diagnoses in UK Biobank. A useful tool for heath data scientists looking to account for health status in their analyses? doi.org/10.1186/s12874…

1/ Pleased to share a new, population-scale Second Cancer Risks analysis in male and female #BreastCancer survivors, using NHS England data, through my PhD work. doi.org/10.1016/j.lane…

Latest paper from the group: On risks of second cancers in female and male breast cancer survivors, using linked EHR data on ~600,000 patients in England. In @lancetRH_Europe doi.org/10.1016/j.lane… Expertly led by Isaac Allen for his PhD Science and Innovation at Cancer Research UK cam.ac.uk/research/news/…

The public may wonder about the value of sharing their health data. PREDICT breast and prostate and CanRisk are widely used clinical tools based on NHS data. breast.predict.cam prostate.predict.cam canrisk.org These would not be possible without data sharing.
