Journal Article
Zook, N., Voss, S., Blennow Nordstrom, E., Brett, S. J., Jenkinson, E., Shaw, P., …Benger, J. (2022). Neurocognitive function following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: A systematic review. Resuscitation, 170, 238-246. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.resuscitation.2021.10.005

Objectives: The primary aim of this review was to investigate neurocognitive outcomes following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Specifically, the focus was on identifying the different neurocognitive domains that are assessed, the measures use...

Estimation of the two-group pilot sample size with a cautionary note on Browne’s formula (2021)
Journal Article
Obodo, S., Toher, D., & White, P. (2021). Estimation of the two-group pilot sample size with a cautionary note on Browne’s formula. Journal of Applied Quantitative Methods, 16(3),

Using data obtained from a pilot study, Browne (1995) proposed a procedure for estimating the sample size needed for a definitive two-arm randomised controlled trial when the minimal important difference is specified. Simulations confirm these findi... Read More about Estimation of the two-group pilot sample size with a cautionary note on Browne’s formula.

Ordinal Logistic Regression as an alternative analysis strategy for the comparison of two independent samples (2021)
Journal Article
Bilski, B., Derrick, B., Toher, D., & White, P. (2021). Ordinal Logistic Regression as an alternative analysis strategy for the comparison of two independent samples. Journal of Applied Quantitative Methods, 16(3),

The two group between subjects design is pervasive with analyses often performed using the Mann Whitney Rank Sum test or using the Welch variant of the t-test. Using simulation it is shown that a dummy variable ordinal logistic regression (OLR) mode...

Fixed bearing, all-polyethylene tibia, lateral unicompartmental arthroplasty – A final outcome study with up to 28 year follow-up of a single implant (2021)
Journal Article
Murray, J. R., Smith, J. R., Bray, R., Robinson, J. R., White, P., & Porteous, A. J. (2021). Fixed bearing, all-polyethylene tibia, lateral unicompartmental arthroplasty – A final outcome study with up to 28 year follow-up of a single implant. Knee, 29, 101-109. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.knee.2020.12.032

Background: Lateral unicompartmental arthroplasty (UKA) constitutes only 5–10% of all unicompartmental replacements performed. Whilst the short and medium term benefits are well documented, there remains concern regarding the higher revision rate whe...

Interactive ant colony optimization (iACO) for early lifecycle software design (2014)
Journal Article
Simons, C., Smith, J., & White, P. (2014). Interactive ant colony optimization (iACO) for early lifecycle software design. Swarm Intelligence, 8(2), 139-157. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11721-014-0094-2

Finding good designs in the early stages of the software development lifecycle is a demanding multi-objective problem that is crucial to success. Previously, both interactive and non-interactive techniques based on evolutionary algorithms (EAs) have...
