Rate My Professor Andy Judge

Judge's research specializations center on translational statistics applied to musculoskeletal conditions, including epidemiology of osteoarthritis, outcomes of hip and knee arthroplasty, fracture care, and cardiovascular epidemiology. He utilizes large-scale data from national registries such as the National Joint Registry, National Hip Fracture Database, and Clinical Practice Research Datalink to inform clinical practice and policy. Prior to returning to the University of Bristol in 2017, he held positions at the University of Oxford's Nuffield Department of Orthopaedics, Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Sciences (NDORMS) from 2009. Key publications include 'Temporal trends and patterns in heart failure incidence: a population-based study of 4 million individuals' (2016), 'Incidence and risk factors for clinically diagnosed knee, hip and hand osteoarthritis: influences of age, gender and osteoarthritis affecting other joints' (2014), 'The effect of patient age at intervention on risk of implant revision after total replacement of the hip or knee: a population-based cohort study' (2013), 'Adverse outcomes after total and unicompartmental knee replacement in 101 330 matched patients: a study of data from the National Joint Registry for England and Wales' (2012), and 'Future projections of total hip and knee arthroplasty in the UK: results from the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink' (2015). With over 28,000 citations and an h-index of 84, his contributions have substantially impacted orthopaedic surgery, patient outcomes research, and health services evaluation.
