Read the latest @bmj_latest article by @PaulGlasziou on why medical innovation is not necessarily better than current standards & why rigorous testing is crucial in the evaluation equation of new treatments #Evidence bit.ly/2FN2FZp #sustainablehealthcare @TestTreatments
@GKeijzers_EM @NEJM @sgabrown @emfresearch @GC_Health @First_do_noharm @SocraticEM @srrezaie @First10EM @TheSGEM @purdy_eve Excellent trial challenging conventional wisdom. And love the infographic to summarise the results. @TestTreatments

You have probably alread heard that my esteemed shipmate, @iainchalmersTTi received the inaugural David Sackett Prize from @Cartabellotta at #EBHC2019 for his intellectual leadership in #EBHC @cochranecollab . But did you read his speech? Do so (PDF): buff.ly/2qmqKSM

You’re thinking of taking a treatment yourself. Or prescribing it to one of your patients. How do you decide whether it’s worth it? Do the advantages outweight the disadvantages? buff.ly/2l7GgeR @IHC_project #KeyConcepts @TestTreatments
Agree that there are serious system problems here. But also problems with bias in clinical evidence, esp under-reporting of harms. Here's one solution: en.testingtreatments.org/book/13-resear…

It had to happen. Someone's used penis size to explain the difference between relative and absolute measures of benefit. Still, #whateverittakes. A concrete example of #statins is also included in this blog by @CebmOxford, just in case. buff.ly/2YUd3cN

Why it’s important to do fair tests of treatments: - Sometimes we get better anyway - Just because a treatment is new, don’t assume it’s better - More treatment is not always better Read more in this @TestTreatments article: buff.ly/2XAKHRX
My thanks for graciously sharing this important piece. Judicious caution is warranted in all our endeavours, lest we enrapture ourselves in numeric machinations. I am informed that the maxim in uncouth modern parlance is "garbage in, garbage out".
