Rebecca Delaney, PhD discusses shared decision making in life-threatening congenital heart defects (CHD). (Thread) #SMDM19 Backstory:
Parents with children born with CHD are faced with an impossible choice:
1. Palliative care
2. Surgery--it is not a good prognosis post-surgery. The child may life days to weeks with a subpar quality of life.

ok health econ lesson.
Say you have a drug, and you want to know how "good" it is...
Good can be roughly defined as (1) how much does it improve your life and (2) how much longer are you going to live.
#SMDM19 In health economics we call this a QALY (quality adjusted life year).
QALYs are the best (so far) we have, but they aren't perfect. #SMDM19
