Welcome over to see my post on "How to report methodological superiority of a diagnostic test." bsky.app/profile/mugand…
Finland's Publication Forum (or JUFO @tsv_media) announced that from January 2025 it was downgrading its classification of 271 open access journals to the lowest level, zero (this includes 187 journals from @MDPIOpenAccess and 82 from @FrontiersIn). julkaisufoorumi.fi/en/news/change…
@rajkumar_chris @drjohnm Perhaps not subtraction anxiety. Apparently TAVR within 6 months of randomization was a pre-defined 'unplanned CV hospitalization', which convincingly explains the inflection point at 6 months. h/t @AndreasRck2 twitter.com/AndreasRck2/st…
EARLY TAVR published. Among patients with asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis, a strategy of early TAVR was superior to clinical surveillance in reducing the incidence of death, stroke, or unplanned hospitalization for cardiovascular causes, driven by the latter. The study's findings may be limited by factors such as its unavoidable unblinded nature, trial-specific vigilance levels, low-risk patient selection, and use of a single valve type. #TCT2024 nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
@DFCapodanno The study result was almost entirely driven by TAVR within 6 mo in the conservative arm, which was included as unplanned hospitalization (!). That's why the curves look so strange with the inflection point at 6 mo. Not sure this is enough to tilt the guidelines.
@rajkumar_chris @drjohnm @ProfDFrancis @rallamee @bnallamo Thanks @rajkumar_chris for chiming in. For us new to the concept of subtraction anxiety: Is the suspiciously pointy corner (immediate change in slope) of the panel A&D yellow curve just before 0.5yr a finding that is pathognomonic for subtraction anxiety?
