Medicine focuses a lot on the question “will this help my patient” but not on the question “when will it help my patient.” The latter becomes important as we age. We’ve developed a “time-to-benefit” tool on eprognosis.ucsf.edu to help answer this question.

36% reduction in urine cultures (although trending down before intervention) and 36% reduction in antibiotic use with no change in LOS, transfer to higher level of care, or mortality using BLADDER score in work-up of potential UTI. cambridge.org/core/journals/…
Exactly what I’m looking for in CPCs. Looking forward to reading!

Ask the right questions:
“Do you get short of breath lying flat? Do you prop yourself up on pillows to breathe?” Not “How many pillows do you sleep on?”
Just because a patient sleeps on 2 pillows doesn’t mean they have orthopnea.

Irony: the more severe the pulmonary process prompting the chest CT, the more likely it is that it will be blurry

American Heart Association proposes to omit the following terminologies in it's latest scientific statement (May 2014)
❌️ 𝙃𝙮𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙪𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙮
❌️ 𝙃𝙮𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙨
Use of subjective emotive language such as 𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙨 and 𝙪𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙮 fail to acknowledge the nuances of treatment decisions and may encourage unnecessary antihypertensive treatment.
Therefore in a statement paper from AHA in May 2024, it is proposed the following objective terminology:
✅️ 𝙃𝙮𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙮
🔸️SBP/DBP >180/110–120 mm Hg with evidence of new or worsening target-organ damage
✅️ 𝘼𝙨𝙮𝙢𝙥𝙩𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙚𝙙𝙡𝙮 𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙣𝙥𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝘽𝙋
🔸️SBP/ DBP >180/110–120 mm Hg without evidence of new or worsening target-organ damage
✅️ 𝘼𝙨𝙮𝙢𝙥𝙩𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙣𝙥𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝘽𝙋
🔸️SBP/DBP ≥130/80 mm Hg without evidence of new or worsening target-organ damage.

2x RCTs are ongoing. In the interim, this propensity score matched analysis found that statins users had lower mortality and MACE independent of frailty status.

Interesting view on Advance Care Planning:
Limited value in stating preferences for future hypothetical scenarios More useful for (1) illness education (2) eliciting values/goals to guide current decisions (3) Preparation for future end of life decisions
