Performance Health

A Foley catheter may be routine, but for over half of patients, it leads to complications. In fact, more than half of adults with an indwelling catheter reported at least one issue, with noninfectious problems like pain, bleeding, and trauma occurring five times more often than infections.

How to Fix the Paradox of Primary Care

The Healthcare Blog

Randomized Trials Should Determine Causality and Be Useful in the Clinic—But Sometimes Accomplish Neither

Sensible Medicine

One of the most common and valid criticisms of a randomized clinical trial is external validity—or generalizability. The point of any RCT is that we can apply the results to a patient we see in the office. A trial that recruits highly selected (perfect) patients is hard to apply to the “regular” everyday patient. A classic example is the DanGer-Shock trial of the microaxial flow pump in patients with cardiogenic shock.
