A question we often ask in the ED/ICU: Does this patient have increased ICP?

Our @bmj_latest study found that traditional physical exam and CT signs had poor accuracy for elevated ICP. If suspected, consider treatment & transfer for invasive monitoring.https://t.co/1Eb8PtYLFJ pic.twitter.com/bQFIgWnuur

Excited to share my first study published today in @bmj_latest on recurrence risk after stopping #anticoagulation for unprovoked #VTE. Big thanks to the MARVELOUS collaborators, @CIHR_IRSC for funding/support & @RodgerMarc for continued mentorship https://t.co/jnT86dRzHK #phdlife pic.twitter.com/SSVTYwkXth
