The importance of reading the supplement…
Thank you @M_Pompeu_Sa_MD for uncovering this intransparent disinformation.
How did this article pass trough the exhaustive review process of a prestigious journal like #EHJ??😦
@ehj_ed
Why is it useless? Pts were randomized to invasive or conservative. Patients in the invasive arm were SELECTED (selection bias) to either CABG or PCI. Pts with more complex coronary disease went to CABG.
Outcomes According to Coronary Revascularization Modality in the ISCHEMIA @JACCJournals. No information can be extracted from non randomized treatment arms. Authors and editors should know that. Thought we were over with the Stone’s def of Proc MI. https://t.co/9KMqLH4sDV

💡Compared with TAVR, SAVR was associated with improved survival beyond 2 years in low-risk patients.
➡️ RCTs seem to have a protective effect that favors TAVR.
Medicine is plagued by untrustworthy clinical trials: How many studies are faked or flawed?
In some fields, at least one-quarter of clin trials might be problematic or even entirely made up, warn some researchers. They urge stronger scrutiny.

Next I was spoiled for choice!
Really wanted to attend @INTEGRITTYgroup, in part to hear the talks but also to meet IRL @VictorDayan1, @drjohnm & @RMSSAA whom I've only interacted with on Twitter!
However, the mitral session looked fascinating so I stayed - sorry!

Remember that Trifecta constitutes 27% of all SAVRs in Notion trial. Along with others, like 10% Mitroflow .. so, almost 40% of prosthetic valves many of us consider unacceptable valve substitutes now.
Certainly upseting choices for a trial of such stakes.
Calls grow for a full review of the @ACCinTouch@American_Heart guideline process. Using “yes” surgeons to give the of impression of multidisciplinary collaboration just doesn’t work.
It’s so good to know that there are a great number of professionals, dedicated to giving the best care to patient, that can shout to what is wrong. “NEVER WHISPER IN THE PRESENCE OF WRONG”.
