Great work by funded researcher Dr. Rohan D'Souza (@SingingOB) at @McMasterU!
Studies on cardiac disease in #pregnancy have defined outcomes differently, reported selectively, and often missed what matters most to patients. COSCarP identifies 12 core outcomes and 12 checklist items to support consistency and relevance. Learn more: shorturl.at/yFLjj.

Big news for #EBM! Just out in #BMJ, ROBUST-RCT, pristinely developed, innovative, simple, user-friendly instrument for risk of bias assessment in #RCTs far superior to anything before, will become standard outside of Cochrane and in #Cochrane if they let folks use it. bmj.com/content/388/bmj-2024…

Just published #BMJ paper: strong against all interventional procedures for spine pain (joint radio frequency ablation; epidural injections; intramuscular injections, etc.) useless & harmful but lucrative. How to stop clear: stop paying. But can it happen? bmj.com/content/388/bmj-2024…
