@TheSGEM @SAEMEBM @First10EM @reverendofdoubt @KirstyChallen @EMO_Daddy Impact factor is a measure of journal branding and promotion, not of quality. Just because something is talked about, it doesn't mean it's great. E.g. Donald Trump.

It is a huge honour to be recognized by such an outstanding group of residents. In all honesty - THEY deserve an award. I am so grateful to be part of the most supportive program and department in all of emergency medicine @emergmedottawa

Congratulations to @emergmedottawa program director @ThurgurTox, the recipient of the PARO 2019 Lois H Ross Resident Advocate Award! Great recognition for a great PD’s tireless dedication to trainees. #meded

Yes, this is concerning and, as healthcare providers and consumers of the medical literature, we must pressure editors to address these issues. @SAEMEBM @TheSGEM @First10EM @SAEMEBM

Ah, but who are the authors of those studies? Industry employees or independent medical researchers? There is likely a subgroup difference. @BEEMcme @EddyLang1 @DrShawnQI @SMcLeod_SREMI @BlairBigham @SAEMEBM

@ProfBEEM @SAEMEBM @EddyLang1 @shawnkdowling @TChanMD @BlairBigham Industry sponsored studies are not necessarily wrong but it does make me more skeptical of the results. "strong and consistent evidence shows that industry-sponsored research tends to draw pro-industry conclusions”. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12533125 @JeanneLenzer1
English
The top medical researchers in the world often advise industry on studies that benefit patients. This does not make them corrupt or in the pockets of industry. COI always required. @SAEMEBM @EddyLang1 @shawnkdowling @TChanMD @BlairBigham

@EddyLang1 @First10EM @DanLane911 @EMNerd_ @srrezaie @Rick_Pescatore @ProfBEEM @BEEMcme @SAEMEBM @EMSwami @NICEcomms @CAEP_Docs @EmergencyDocs @acemonline They are looking at the same evidence and come up with a different interpretation (just like us). I agree with my #EBM mentor to look beyond the authors' conclusions. The extensive COI from Emberson make me more skeptical of their "spin" @JeanneLenzer1 @reverendofdoubt

This is what academic debate is all about: progress.

The idea of an independent research body that designs and executes trials using industry funds has been around for awhile but never taken off.

Wise words. Be an informed consumer of the medical literature: #BEEM
Ken Milne MD@TheSGEM
@EddyLang1 @First10EM @EMNerd_ @srrezaie @Rick_Pescatore @ProfBEEM @BEEMcme I hope the message can be: read the primary literature, learn to do critical appraisal, be skeptical, reflect on the clinical application, consider your our experience and ask the patients’ what they value #EBM @SAEMEBM @EMSwami #batdoc

"it all depends" The interventions between the administration of plasma and the 30-day follow-up likely impacted on the outcome. @acemonline @BlairBigham @SAEMEBM @anxiousmedic @Brent_Thoma @WelsfordM

Last day at #SunBEEM19! Dr. Justin Yan asks: Does the prehospital administration of thawed plasma reduce mortality in trauma patients at risk for hemorrhagic shock? @ProfBEEM @shawnkdowling @DrShawnQI @TChanMD @InnovaEM @SAEMEBM @EddyLang1 @Brent_Thoma
