📢🚨 Hot off the press @TheLancetOncol for #kidneycancer! https://t.co/v4fXO17tLp. SABR vs thermal ablation;
- Despite ⏫age, ⏬worse GFR, and ⏫tumours for SABR
- SABR ⬆️effective than TA (at 1, 2 and 5 yrs)
- esp for RCC >4cm
- same renal decline (p=0.75)
- similar F/U #radonc
In a large cohort of patients with advanced diabetic retinopathy, risk factors for loss to follow-up were younger age, better visual acuity, infrequent clinic visits, and history of PRP instead of anti-VEGF, our latest analysis in @JAMANetworkOpen shows: https://t.co/eKy0j49dCF
For patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema, males, those living farther from the point of care, Black or Hispanic individuals, and those receiving panretinal photocoagulation were more likely to be lost to follow-up. https://t.co/C0gpq4YBw5
Our recent analysis in @AAOjournal of over 2.6 million intravitreal injections shows that no-talking and physician masking policies may reduce sight-threatening endophthalmitis compared to standard care or universal masking: https://t.co/JEprKVaMhO

This study of chatbot medical accuracy found that multi-modal chatbots were comparable to uni-modal chatbots when evaluated on clinical oncology cases. Multi-modal chatbots may need more optimization to take advantage of information from images. https://t.co/PoSJpwpnl7
