Commentary on Twitter
Breathe: Respiratory complications of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are common and may be under-recognised. Chronic cough may present many years after a colectomy for IBD, is typically productive and can be very responsive to inhaled corticosteroids. https://t.co/9hw3bvMeGp pic.twitter.com/ZJURzidpMU

Commentary on Twitter (thread – click for more)
Big headline: 252 RCTs looking at more than 30,000 patients show propofol increases mortality compared to ‘other’ (RR 1.10, 95% CI 1.01-1.20, p = 0.03). This translates to an NNH of 235.
Interesting one. Where does the effect stem from? 1/8https://t.co/8z8Z1OE0I3
