I think in the end we sink or swim through good analysis - I think that is what has happened with PACE and why they are finding it harder to be...
Something I don't get is why down weight evidence which is of high risk of bias. This is still considering it and giving it weight even though it...
Sometimes the equipment doesn't tell them the result that they know is right through 'clinical experience'
If the experts judging are those producing the evidence then that doesn't work. At least if that happens if it isn't a fatal flaw then it is up...
Basically they don't understand what it means to measure something and then how to treat the accuracy of a measurement (which is related to the...
I think the big thing with requiring PEM is the IoM guidelines which came from an independant well respected body as part of their review process.
If he had access to the final docs (with responses and comments) or even read the draft + all the evidence review pieces I suspect that could take...
I thought NICE had already redone some stuff in response to some of their spurious claims (and I think that was around criteria and PEM) wasn't...
I'm not sure he is defending PACE but putting arguments given to him. I wonder if this is a useful article in that it might help us understand the...
I think it was ignored in some reassessments as a trial arm as its not a real therapy. Perhaps the claim is that it makes PACE more than a trial...
It didn't work for me. I had a couple of goes but the send button didn't work
I suspect something also gets lost in translation as patients probably are saying that it is important to consult them on what outcomes matter and...
They said that subjective pain measures were welcomed as patient centered they didn't actually claim patients welcomed them. [edit] It could be...
I also think many more people have some background in stats as it comes up in so many different subjects and that helps. For example, my...
Given his previous article talked about this he may have felt it necessary to mention and I think the way it did helped defuse the argument and...
I seem to remember the IOM report was really important as it came from a highly respected org.
It is interesting to see the confusion but certainty in what he is saying. If he represents a typical doctor then we have real issues.
Particularly in children's clinics where they need support with schools and child protection can be threatened
I think he would have done better to keep quiet I'm more convinced he doesn't have a clue.
If it is an attempt at humour its very poor - but that doesn't surprise me. Perhaps one of the issues of communicating over twitter (although he...
