  1. I have just read an article advocating for a higher #troponin threshold for rule-out of #MyocardialInfarction in #EmergencyDepartment patients (hindawi.com/journals/emi/2024/). The paper makes the mistake of using #NegativePredictiveValue rather the #Sensitivity for assessing algorithm safety. Consequently, they advocate for a threshold that would miss 1 in 25 #MI.
    The journal does not allow letters to the editor, so I have included one here.

  2. I'm struggling to connect to #EmergencyMedicine researchers on Mastodon. Maybe this #infographic of our latest research on point-of-care #troponin in the #EmergencyRoom will do it.

  3. Today we also publish new data on the laboratory parameter serum creatinine and its use in staging of acute kidney injury:

    - Women and elderly patients are systematically underdiagnosed

    - A sex- and age-adapted approach is necessary to address this discrimination

    Our aim is to automatically identify undetected medical conditions and integrate them into the clinicians' digital workflow.
