[The BMJ @bmj_latest]

People who are white, English speaking, and socially advantaged are more likely to receive timely, coordinated palliative care aligned with their preferences.

Cultural competency is not enough for palliative medicine to offer good deaths to all

Day 13 #AdventAgeing
More than halfway through this festive round-up, here is one I am especially proud of.

Language is important, yet in research we still accept terms that perpetuate negative stereotypes.
Lets do better in 2025 people.

Guideline developers often don’t clearly understand the concept of indirect evidence. Study that evaluated guideline recommendations labeled as expert opinion found most of these recommendations were in fact based on indirect evidence.

@NEJM Case Records is yet again confused about #delirium & so avoids the word altogether.

☑️ Acute ΔMS
☑️ Inattention
☑️ "Confusion"
☑️ Exec. dysfxn

Yep, that's #delirium.

This patient was brought to care b/c of #delirium.

[Frank Harrell @f2harrell]

@EricTopol @hmkyale @NEJM Someday I hope that trialists will realize that the purpose of a parallel group randomized trial is to compare parallel groups not to compare change from baseline. Baseline should only be used as an adjustment covariate (hence not falsely assuming a slope of 1.0 of pre vs. post)

[Louella Vaughan @DrLKVaughan]

Blockbuster paper here!

Privatisation of hospitals internationally does NOT produce real improvements in patient care.

Some evidence of innovation and improved access. BUT
- staffing slashed
- poorer cleaning
- more infections
- more avoidable deaths 😱
