I was on Tyler’s music and medicine podcast! We had fun talking about music and sadness. I can’t listen to myself talk but all his episodes are awesome. https://t.co/tw8xZrXhtg
@drjohnm Medians are irrelevant and we should stop referencing them and look at absolute benefit. There’s about a 5-10% difference in 1, 2, and 4 year survival so that’s a number to treat of 10-20. Not thrilling but worth a try and consistent with what other specialties would want to see
This sums up everything that’s wrong with statistics in clinical trials. The larger the study required to show a difference, the less clinically important the finding.
@drjohnm This feels like the future to me. It always seems like we are held prisoner by the statisticians saying what we are not allowed to conclude based on the intent of the study, rather than asking what we can learn and implement.
