How many studies in vascular surgery use NASA data?! Excellent work by Elizabeth Yates uncovering the relationship between hot weather and outcomes after carotid surgery at #ASC2023 Assoc4AcademicSurgery Louis Nguyen MD, MBA, MPH CSPH BWH Vascular Surgery

Randomized trials will likely continue to be the reference standard for causal inference into the near future and this review provides a broad overview of the central concepts in RCT design, implementation, conduct, and data analysis. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Before you make a knee-jerk response "correlation doesn't imply causation: avoid causal conclusions from observational studies", remember this is what tobacco companies said for years. Be thoughtful about causal inference, don't abandon it Miguel Hernán

When I was only slightly younger I believed that one could put a bunch of covariates in a regression model for any health outcome, do some variabel selection, and then call the remaining covariates "risk factors" for that particular outcome, truly believing that meant something
