"Does frailty scoring help to predict outcomes in older patients with major trauma?" @emajournal.bsky.social
After controlling for age, for every extra point in frailty, odds of in-hospital death/incr care on discharge for older trauma patients incr by 36%.

Last month I did a little experiment.
I wanted to see how the exact same post would perform on both X (Twitter) and Bluesky.
The results were...interesting...

Let's have a chat about "Extrication following a Motor Vehicle Collision"
It's written by some people you probably know:
Tim Nutbeam, Rob Fenwick, Charlotte Haldane, Caroline Leech, Emily Foote, Simon Todd, David Lockey
Honestly, this is a breath of fresh air following years of cutting off roofs.
Yes, Pete Hegseth and Michael Waltz violated all sorts of national security protocols by sharing military secrets with a journalist. But at least they were White when they did this.

It’s sad how many people think what Trump and Vance did yesterday was a demonstration of masculinity. Patriarchy doesn’t just hurt women. It has failed boys and men, too.
Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts.
Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵
Things pediatricians are scared of:
Grapes
Hot dogs
Lawn mowers
Unmounted TVs
Babies on laps in cars
Riders without helmets
Ungated pools
Crib bumpers
Trampolines
Hot tubs
Guns
Things pediatricians are not scared of:
Any/all the vaccines
As an emergency physician, I can confidently say that the PTSD and horrors witnessed by paramedics and first responders is dramatically more difficult to process than what we see in the ED. The highest respect to my first responder colleagues.
I oversaw global health programs at @USAID.
They reached 100s of millions of people, added 6 extra years to the lifespan of children in partner countries, and were eradicating health threats worldwide.
What insanity and cruelty to break that.
A forensic psychiatry interview "And is this "contrast nephropathy" in the room with us now?"
What I think every time I'm asked for the eGFR...
There are several phrases that, when uttered in the ED, sound like nails on a chalkboard to me.
"This ECG doesn't meet criteria" is right up there.
This open-access multinational review might help cure you of that harmful paradigm.

(no authors on Bluesky - what the frak?!)
The ICU is not where patients should discover that the intent of their cancer-directed therapy is palliative in intent.
I almost didn’t write this blog in *2015* about how contrast nephropathy isn’t real, because I thought it was already pretty obvious at that point (https://emcrit.org/pulmcrit/do-ct-scans-cause-contrast-nephropathy/)
nearly a decade later, we’re still struggling with knowledge translation 🙈
