Discussion of “RCT mods”. Don’t use the term “RCT” unless it is a classical Bradford Hill RCT. Otherwise, specify the type of RCT mod.

Wonderful last 2 days new fireworks, debate, & discussion over reform of @NIH driven critical care science. Don’t miss it!! @CritCareMed @DocEd @CritCareReviews @ATSCritCare @RafaelOliveLeit @DrJBhattacharya discourse.datamethods.org/t/the-petty-...

This has been quite a lively debate on trials in intensive care. I don't think the "pathological science" chat is productive, but I'm always up for a healthy scientific debate. Thoughts on datamethods: discourse.datamethods.org/t/the-petty-... @statsepi.bsky.social @load-dependent.bsky.social

Wonderful discussion. On one end we have the 1989 PettyBone RCT and on the other the 1948 Bradford Hill RCT. Then the spectrum between them. While we disagree on the history and past mandates of of the PettyBone lumping Paradigm, Ed has hit it out of the park with his thoughtful response.

This thread shows why the @NIH should no longer fund PettyBone RCT. The public deserves and should demand that pathological science and pathological consensus are not supported in any field.

Masterfully done. Every clinician and clinical medicine focused statistician should listen to this.

“Diagnostic momentumed” a beautiful kuhnian neologistic phrase.
