Super interesting new @medrxivpreprint from @sngoonew on how a very common lab measurement (complete blood count) relates to cardiovascular events using six cohorts and >23k subjects with 249,098 person-year follow-up.
* CBC variables have similar independent information beyond standard RFs as other commonly used labs
* CBC variables have similar or more added prognostic value compared to other labs like lipids, A1c, CRP
* Neutrophils & lymphocytes are related to MACE with standardized HR of ~2.1 and death with std HR of ~2.4
* RBC quantity is related to MACE with std HR of ~ 1.6 and death with std HR of ~1.86

Tomorrow a new POTUS and VPOTUS will be sworn in. It will be secure because many other brave Americans have sworn their own oaths to support and defend our Constitution.
Thanks to the Capitol Police and all the federal & local personnel helping protect our democracy this week.

According to data scientists, users of social media like Facebook and Twitter happily embrace false information and conspiracy theories they see, as long as the ideas reinforce their own preexisting beliefs. https://t.co/8r1lm1OfLM
