🔐Days alive and at home: refining the definition.

"As we use DAH increasingly as a research community, the importance of the definition of ‘home’ however becomes increasingly apparent."

Privileged (and intimidated) to share the stage at @RCoANews #rcoaupdates with the hugely impressive @NicolaPowley and awe-inspiring @OlleLjungqvist yesterday

Although I’m always happy to chat about my research, I have to confess that their prehab material is the game-changer!

Our assessment of the impact of #COVID19 on deceased organ donation in the UK is published today https://t.co/fSijWmT1jv

Highlights the amazing work of @NHSBT and ED/ICU clinical staff, and the support of the public, in maintaining this vital and life-saving service

[@load-depentent.bsky.social @load_dependent]

Really enjoying this paper on joint models for multiple endpoints in RCTs (particularly joint modelling of longitudinal and time-to-event outcomes). Why are such methods rarely used in RCTs, when they may not least increase increase power? https://t.co/whEv1LDVlU

[Nicholas Plummer @critcarenick]

100% recommend this course. I went in 2016 with @jackietwam and @Raddish25 - not only did we learn a huge amount, it was also just a really great and sociable couple of days away. Expert faculty bit they also know how to entertain in Edinburgh!

Missed publication promotion alert!

The “happy hypoxia” concept in severe COVID seems to persist, but out data suggests that it’s nothing special to COVID per se - just that we’ve seen a lot more severe hypoxaemia https://t.co/ztt0ZrOTFi

🔐Reducing hospital re-admission after intensive care: from risk-factors to interventions.

@nickopotamus and @ICULone argue we must now focus our attention on the unmet needs of the growing cohort of ICU survivors and their families.

Using data from 127134 emergency laparotomies, our new study https://t.co/wYSh5gqYM2 moves beyond point predictions to show the uncertainty around estimates of mortality risk.

Designing new ventilatory strategies based on respiratory mechanics to manage #ARDS! Consider limiting airway + lung driving P during MV, as may be equivalent predictor of outcome & maintain positive end‐expiratory transpulmonary P in obese pts.

[Jon Bedford @JonBedford]

Patients who develop new-onset AF during an ICU admission have higher rates of subsequent hospitalisation with AF, stroke, and heart failure.
I think communication (with ward team and pt) of AF status / plan at ICU discharge, and follow-up, are important.
