If you like this paper - let me introduce you to the rest of orthopaedics

This seems like a misfire of the analysis as opposed to the input studies. Why not analyse the effect size between groups at each timepoint? Maybe someone who is better at MA can tell me it would be possible to run baseline adjusted analyses in this context.

Mad respect to any 16yo pulling out those examples, and in context no less

Funding is definitely a major barrier, it never spans the duration a registry needs to demonstrate value. But engagement from both surgeons and patients can be mixed for sure

Do you mean engagement from surgeons to enrol cases or from the patients?

Came here to ask exactly this!

Either way - strength and honour!

Anyone can run the statistics for a project - but you need to identify what you will sacrifice that is dear to you to take the analysis all the way through to the end. Sleep? Recreational time? Blood pressure?

How many rows of real data did you start with?

Research Assistant: 👀...real data?

If an R package named the rizzlR doesn't emerge from this, I want my money back. I will not be fielding any questions on form or function.

To go through minor revisions and then have the editor send out to a whole new round of reviewers is the absolute worst

Once you're at R vs Python, you're a hop away from NHST vs Bayesian

Even better when the fit creates an imaginary "average" subject that doesn't exist in the dataset, but becomes the equivalent of the "reasonable" person in common law around which all decisions are made

If you could switch off your surveillance on my calls with clinicians who refuse to do anything until theyve "seen the data"...that would be great

Is it possible to know if the patient is a candidate for surgery at the start of prophylaxis? Or is everyone staryed on prophylaxis regardless of surgical appropriateness and then referred on failure? If its the former, I think that would simplify the model a fair bit

Do you have any consistency in the definition of failure of prophylaxis? These may differ ir be applied differently between referrer and surgeon

Just trying to get my head around the context here...i assume the drs making the referral are primary care and then a surgeon is reviewing? So is your endpoint the rx to surgery or the surgery itself? Depending on the condition, not sure if elective or otherwise, it may not be 1:1 from rx to sx

Its the horse crab of universal science assets...i dont know how, bit its surviving an extinction level event..

Is this how our elderly citizens feel when youngsters ask them about historical events - they didnt even realise they were witness/participant at the time? Thats how i feel about the statstwitter moments...i remember them, but didnt appreciate their significance until now....classic statstwitter..

Old mate went truly all in on in that round

How to Train Yourself to Be More Open-Minded and Less Easily Misled New research shows that cultivating open-minded thinking can be taught, and that this simple shift improves our ability to tell facts from falsehoods.

Can we actually train ourselves to be more open-minded and harder to fool?

New research says yes. A short message warning us about closed-mindedness made people better at spotting misinformation, less likely to believe conspiracy theories, and more thoughtful about what they shared #MisinfoResearch

Interception reduction from deforestation and forest fire increases large-scale fluvial flooding risk - Communications Earth & Environment Forest coverage loss from wildfires and deforestation increases flood risk for large-scale river catchments by reducing interception, according to analysis of data from twenty-one watersheds in Australia.

🌧️ Forest loss and flooding

A new study shows that deforestation and forest fires in Australia reduce rainfall interception, increasing river flooding across vast regions.
