I am pleased & proud to see the #PLUStrial published in @NEJM today. It is my 10th @NEJM paper! Here’s my list of @NEJM papers and what I think they mean for clinical practice
#1: The #HEATtrial (Dec 2015) showed that using paracetamol to treat fever in ICU patients with suspected infections did not affect the number of ICU-free days. Mortality rates were similar in paracetamol & placebo-treated patients:

These data provide reassurance that if paracetamol is administered to treat fever in the setting of an infection or given for another reason to a patient who happens to have fever & infection, such as for analgesia, harm is unlikely to result.
