Vialard et al ➡️ diagnostic accuracy of self-sampling followed by CT/GC NAAT was similar to clinician-collected for extragenital sites in high-income countries. Vaginal self-sampling for women in low-income countries had lower accuracy. pic.twitter.com/lIzbQPufJl

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
