🤖Just out in @bmj_latest: Our rapid rec on the use of AI-based computer-aided detection (CADe) in colonoscopy. Using GRADE, we issue a weak recommendation against its routine use. Co-development with @AmerGastroAssn

A “good” AUROC is not universal.
In a new @JClinEpi paper, we show that prediction model utility depends on discrimination, outcome incidence, calibration & decision thresholds.
Models should be judged against the decisions they are meant to inform.

Our @NatureMedicine paper is out today: Apple Watch data from daily life can estimate pVO₂ in heart failure, and drops in daily wearable-derived pVO₂ were linked to unplanned healthcare events. Grateful to @UHN @PMCC @trogersresearch

It’s T-minus 17 days until #TestYourLimits Mission: Chimborazo! 🌋
The team is training hard and gearing up, with an honorable mention to coach Biff 🐶
Follow along as we ascend the highest volcano in Ecuador by reading our trek blog: testyourlimits.ca/
Global comparison of readmission rates amongst HF patients.
Rates are high and variable.
Not explained by healthcare spending, GDP, or rates of mortality.
Opportunistic gap in evidence to better understand the notable variations

Assessing the certainty of evidence from NMAs using GRADE has never been easier! Check out our new paper in The BMJ. Includes a spreadsheet to automate several of the steps.

In this randomized trial involving 84,585 participants in Poland, Norway, and Sweden, the risk of colorectal cancer at 10 years was lower among those invited to undergo screening colonoscopy than among those assigned to no screening. nej.md/3yggwTp

Just published SR living alone and mortality. Major innovations: GRADE for causation vs risk; credibility of subgroup claim: applying #ICEMANtool, initially for RCTs, to observational studies, super illustration of within vs between study analyses doi.org/10.1016/j.eclinm.202…
Full disclosure, I am biased. Author of this piece is my mentor. However, I strongly believe #Privatization of #healthcare is a huge distraction from issues at hand. This articles lays out the arguments beautifully!
If they have expertise, academics should contribute to critical social discourse. Major stream of my life: advocating for Canadian publicly funded, universal, high quality health care. Latest effort: article in Canada’s largest circulation newspaper. bit.ly/3BfRynS
