Episode 572: Preventing RSV Infections in Infants

In episode 572, James and Mike invite Samantha Moe back to the podcast to go over the evidence around the safety and effectiveness of the monoclonal antibodies used to reduce the risk of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections in infants. We go over all the numbers for hospitalizations and death so you can make evidence-informed decisions.

Episode 571: PREMIUM – Antibiotics and Lipids

In episode 571, James and Mike talk about 2 new papers – we learn what antibiotics we can use for community-acquired pneumonia and we also talk about the prevalence and management of dyslipidemia in Canadian primary care practices and find out who has this problem and who gets treated.

Episode 570: Statistics made simple and relevant – we promise – PART III

In episode 570, James and Mike finish their trilogy on statistics. We take what we discussed in the previous podcasts and go through a couple of examples that will hopefully solidify what all the terms and numbers really mean.

Show Notes
1) Sensible Medicine
Doing statistics can be difficult but understanding them can be fairly simple
2) Analysis of 567,758 randomized controlled trials published over 30 years reveals trends in phrases used to discuss results that do not reach statistical significance
