- Study findings do not support the treatment of elevated inpatient blood pressures in hospitalized older adults without evidence of end organ damage and highlight the need for randomized clinical trials of inpatient blood pressure treatment targets. ja.ma/3NXGLWV
- JAMA Internal Medicine introduces a new series, the Guide to Statistics and Methods, to be accessible to clinicians and researchers contextualizing and interpreting statistical methods applied in studies published in JAMA Internal Medicine. ja.ma/3uLFDig
- Shorter durations of #antibiotic prophylaxis, including no prophylaxis, appear noninferior to longer durations for preventing mortality in patients with #cirrhosis and upper gastrointestinal bleeding. ja.ma/45k4vvS @BradSpellberg @DrToddLee
- Denosumab offers a convenient alternative to bisphosphonates for osteoporosis treatment but carries risks such as rebound fractures upon discontinuation. ja.ma/405f7x0
- Findings suggest that older patients, particularly those with limited autonomy, who spend the night in the ED awaiting hospital admission may have a higher risk of in-hospital mortality and morbidity; they should be prioritized for admission to a ward. ja.ma/3tZ8Khz
- SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists are linked to a lower risk of #COPD exacerbations compared to DPP-4 inhibitors in patients with type 2 #diabetes and COPD. ja.ma/3Q9flhi @avikray_md, @wbfeldman
- #Hypertension is common in the inpatient setting, but antihypertensive intensification is not. Intensification of therapy without signs of end-organ damage is associated with worse outcomes ja.ma/2WS9mSs
- Most viewed in the last 7 days from @JAMAInternalMed: Clinical Insights by @TimAndersonMD and @ZacharyGJacobs proposes a new framework for managing asymptomatic blood pressure elevation in the hospital setting. ja.ma/3yqQ64L
- Denosumab offers a convenient alternative to bisphosphonates for osteoporosis treatment but carries risks such as rebound fractures upon discontinuation. ja.ma/43djRTo
- Metformin was associated with a lower rate of asthma attacks, with further reductions with the use of GLP-1RA. ja.ma/3UQckFp
- Defecation-induced cardiac arrest is an unrecognized cause of sudden cardiac death in patients with advanced cardiomyopathy. An increase in parasympathetic tone with sympathetic withdrawal is suggested. In contrast to atropine, epinephrine should be used ja.ma/3unvORV
- Shorter durations of #antibiotic prophylaxis, including no prophylaxis, appear noninferior to longer durations for preventing mortality in patients with #cirrhosis and upper gastrointestinal bleeding. ja.ma/4lYhU3W @BradSpellberg @DrToddLee
- In this randomized clinical trial, a 5-day course of oral ivermectin administered during the first week of #COVID19 illness did not reduce the risk of developing severe disease, when compared with standard of care alone. ja.ma/358UtSR
