Cancer and Myositis #RNL2024 @RheumNow
@DrLisaCS on Cancer screening:
Risk stratify: dermatomyositis, NXP2, TIFy, <40yo, refractory, dysphagia, cutaneous necrosis at higher risk
Enhanced risk stratification for those at risks, versus "basic screening" for lower risks https://t.co/3yy9Fx1pk8

Are we overprescribing because guidelines may be skewed to favor the pharmaceutical industry? Interesting questions posed by Dr. A Kavanaugh #RNL2024 @rheumnow https://t.co/wEwHaWNY5k

Dr. A Kavanaugh discussed Ethics #RNL2024: publication bias where positive results are likely to be published compared to those with no effects -- this is a sham study with made up data submitted to 2 different ortho journals. @rheumnow https://t.co/j6gVgA67nC

#RNL2024 @RheumNow
Bias in research for ++ outcomes leads to fudging/biased interpretations of results
Fabricated study results submitted to orthopedic journals:
- 97% acceptance for positive result, 80% for no-difference result. Bias towards +outcome https://t.co/x7JJabSs4z

How do we informed consent?
- How to fully inform pts in complex research?
- Or paternalistic to not provide detailed info
- How deep to disc risk/ben?
- Easier to study in countries w/o good SoC
Prior hx: prisoners, Nazi, Tuskegee
