πŸ“£ More evidence that less is probably more:

During a global shortage of #bloodculture bottles, Japanese hospitals reduced the number of sets drawn per patient.

Contamination rates went down, while detection rates of real pathogens did not.

The next Clarity commentary. On the SNAP trial. Neither I nor @gurujosh.bsky.social had anything to do with this commentary (deliberately).
Conclusions though are in line with my interpretation of the data. i.e., use cefazolin for MSSA bacteremia.

Yes, it is only a preprint at the moment. Not yet published definitively (peer review/revision ongoing).

πŸ“£We rely more & more on #AI for literature review

So how did 6 large language models compare to humans when extracting data from #RCTs for a systematic review?

Not very well: overall #LLM concordance was 0.58-0.75.
