Cross-sectional study finds disparities in guideline-concordant care after hip fracture surgery, with racial & ethnic minority patients less likely to receive optimal treatment, even in institutions with standardized hip fracture protocols. ja.ma/3yW92bM #OrthoTwitter

We found that the probability of receiving guideline-concordant care at an institution with a standardized hip fracture program increased more for non-Hispanic White patients than racial and ethnic minority patients! #orthotwitter #healthequity Link: tinyurl.com/34ddv7d7

Original: @KenTaylorDPT and colleagues (@DCRINews) highlight that pain prevalence among veterans increased over time (2002-2018), with higher rate of increase compared to non-veterans for all pain variables - a widening disproportionate pain burden Full: jpain.org/article/S1526-5900…

👀Development of the TARGET reporting guideline👀 We've assembled an all-star team to develop a #reportingguideline for observational studies explicitly aiming to emulate a target trial. Reporting of these studies is variable #epitwitter #causalinference doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2023…

#VAResearchNewsBrief: A study by @vadurham researchers found that trauma-associated sleep disorder is common in Veterans. Trauma-associated sleep disorder refers to nightmares and disturbed sleep linked to traumatic experiences. #VAResearch bddy.me/3l05AFT

"Our study suggests that researchers are evasive with causal terminology in their stated aims, but often use methods that signal causal intent. Authors then tend to interpret their results in a causal way."
Jeff Hébert@jhebertphd2 Feb 2023
Important new paper in JCE from @CGleadhill @stevekamper1 @hopinlee @cmwillow et al. We need to do better…. “Researchers’ interpretations are misaligned with their intent in almost two thirds of observational studies.” jclinepi.com/article/S0895-4…

1/ Six years ago we emulated a #TargetTrial of screening colonoscopy for colorectal #cancer using observational #Medicare data: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2766… Today we publish preliminary findings from a truly randomized trial: nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE… Their main results side by side👇

TLDR, this study provides further evidence that estimating effects from observational data is possible-- but doing so relies on decisions at every stage of the study design and analytical process. it's open access, so please consider reading/sharing! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam… /n

Target Trial Emulation to Estimate the Association of Corticosteroids With COVID-19 Mortality

This cohort study compares methods for statistical inference using observational data in replicating findings from a meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials.

Of course there's a typo in the tweet... 🤦🏼‍♂️
Upgrade your #causalinference arsenal. A revision of our book "Causal Inference: What If" is now available👇 hsph.harvard.edu/miguel-hern… Thanks to everyone who suggested improvements, reported typos, and proposed new citations and material. Enjoy the #WhatIfBook. Also, it's free.

🆕 Ever wondered what words are commonly used to link exposures and outcomes in health/med/epi studies? How strongly language implies causality? How strongly studies hint at causality in other ways? Read this paper by @NoahHaber et al. doi.org/10.1093/aje/kwac137

Hello #epitwitter ! does anyone have a good ref I can use as pushback for an author using the term "ethnic" when what they actually mean is "Black or Hispanic"? I know a good ref exists for this but it's escaping me #socialepi #healthequity #languagematters #AcademicTwitter
