We prevented falls that resulted in fractures, head injury, brain bleeding. And we did it with a low dose of a generic medication with or without remote “TeleTai-Chi”.

📑 🤖 #AI-generated draft hepatology e-consults show promise‼️
⭐️83% provided appropriate case-specific recommendations
⚠️ 10% contained misleading/incorrect
⚠️ 3.4% posed risk of severe harm

It is hard to replace the 1:1 RCT
There was - is there still? - enthusiasm for micro randomization & SMART in clinical research.
1. These designs get problematic if your proposed trial has a longer duration (at risk for censoring), especially if enrolling sick patients

2. Power calculations are generally done based on the first randomization especially in cost-constrained environments
3. Conclusions involving the later randomizations are often murky and very difficult to communicate

1/ It's #MalnutritionAwarenessWeek. Malnutrition is common in cirrhosis, and we've known it for decades. What we haven't done is build it into routine care the way we did carvedilol and pHTN. We need to routinely screen for it and proactively manage it when present.
