- Sheila_Bird abstract "Sheila Macdonald Bird (née Gore, born 18 May 1952) OBE FRSE, British biostatistician whose assessment of misuse of statistics in the British Medical Journal and BMJ series on ‘Statistics in Question’ led to statistical guidelines for contributors to medical journals. Bird’s doctoral work on non-proportional hazards in breast cancer found application in transplantation where beneficial matching was the basis for UK’s allocation of cadaveric kidneys for a decade. Bird led the MRC Biostatistical Initiative in support of AIDS/HIV studies in Scotland, as part of which Dr A. Graham Bird and she pioneered Willing Anonymous HIV Surveillance (WASH) studies in prisons.Her work with Cooper on UK dietary BSE exposure revealed that the 1940-69 birth-cohort was the most exposed and implied age-dependency in susceptibility to clinical vCJD progression from dietary BSE exposure since most vCJD cases were younger, born in 1970-89. Bird also designed the European Union’s robust surveillance for transmissible spongiform encephalopathies in sheep which revolutionized our understanding of scrapie.Record linkage studies in Scotland were central to Bird’s work (with others) on the late sequelae of Hepatitis C virus infection and on the morbidity and mortality of opioid addiction. Her team first quantified the very high risk of drugs-related death in the fortnight after prison-release, in response to which Bird and Hutchinson proposed a prison-based randomized controlled trial of naloxone, the opioid antagonist, for prisoners-on-release who had a history of heroin injection.Bird introduced the Royal Statistics Society’s statistical seminars for journalists and awards for statistical excellence in journalism. She is the first female statistician to have been awarded three medals by the Royal Statistical Society (Guy bronze, 1989; Austin Bradford Hill, 2000; Chambers, 2010).".
