Ryan, Aoife M., Power, Derek G., Daly, Louise, Cushen, Samantha J., Ní Bhuachalla, Ēadaoin, Prado, Carla M.
An awareness of the importance of nutritional status in hospital settings began more than 40 years ago. Much has been learned since and has altered care. For the past 40 years several large studies have shown that cancer patients are amongst the most malnourished of all patient groups. Recently,...

Goodman, K.J., Hatcher, J., Geary, J., Aplin, L., Colquhoun, A.
Background: Population health data are vital for the identification of public health problems and the development of public health strategies. Challenges arise when attempts are made to disseminate or access anonymised data that are deemed to be potentially identifiable. In these situations,...
