Proud 🤩 to present our preprint on the use of #CO2 monitors in hospital: background, pilot data and protocol for an RCT.
A #COVID19 🧵 @trishgreenhalgh @mjb302
While Belgium is about to become one of the first countries to mandate #CO2monitors in bars, no evidence supports their use, which is particularly problematic in clinical medicine #EBM. How are CO2 levels in hospitals? What does the literature say? @HuffmanLabDU @j_g_allen
Widely varying results have been reported, with values >1000 p.p.m. up to 3000 p.p.m. in low-income setttings vs. excellent values in high-resource settings

With 2020 almost over, it's time again to look back at some of the BEST in the #bone field: 🔝20 papers (+extras).

Happy to hear your input! Disclosure: fully subjective ranking!
@ASBMR @AcademyEcts @Osteoporosis_NL @osteoporosisNI @mmse30 @NatalieASims
#1 Atypical Femoral fractures @NEJM (Black DM et al.)
Risk reduces within months of @Bisphosphonate1 discontinuation. Benefit>risk in any group but less so in Asians and women <65yr

-side note- @ECTS_science very useful systematic review and recommendations for managing osteoporosis following AFFs.

Every doctor carries along her/his own little graveyard. Inevitably, we make mistakes. People die, or become disabled. You never forget those patients. 1/n
In my first year of training there was a 20yo woman with stage IV lymphoma (DLBCL). She was clinically fine but I overlooked her creatinin which showed severe CKD from diuretics. 1w later she came in with heart block from betablocker overdose and died. 2/n
An older woman during training was admitted after a fall. She complained of shoulder pain -> no fracture. Next day she was paraplegic from spinal fracture. She hadn't complained about her back and I missed that. 3/n
