Excited to share our new paper in @Abdominal_Rad ! We studied 313 pts with pneumatosis intestinalis on CT to better predict which cases indicate bowel ischemia. By combining clinical & radiological features, we achieved 85% AUC in identifying bowel ischemia. @FraRigi @abrook

Gino's case against us has been dismissed.
Scientists cannot effectively sue other scientists for exposing fraud/errors in their work.
Those who work to correct the scientific record can sleep better tonight. Those who don’t want it corrected, well, I don’t care how they sleep.

People often think the most important part of science is the statistical analysis.
But they’re wrong.
The most important part is understanding the data. Who collected it, when, where, why, how, and from whom? Who entered and cleaned it, when, where, why, how, and for whom?
ALT Beyond statistical methods, estimating valid causal effects requires understanding: The data • What data are available • Where, when, and who does it comes from • How was it sampled and measured • Who is left out? The decisions • How are decisions made in the real world, • What information is used to decide, • Who makes the decisions • Who is left out? The questions • What options are we comparing, • When, where, and to whom does our question apply, • How are we answering it, • Who is left out?

In this multi-institutional retrospective study, @hadiskavandi et al, led by @olgabrook from @BIDMCRad, explore factors that correlate with bleeding risk after splenic biopsy, including needle size @SeyedAmirEbrah1 @Vplanz @SamGalgano @abrook @BIDMC_AbdImg bit.ly/3ShP6WK

We have shown that #18G needle #splenicbiopsy is as safe as splenic biopsy with smaller needles.
So even if it is scary, you can still biopsy spleen!
