Journal Club Tuesday July 13 at Noon
This years first Journal Club will be on the classic PIOPED study, JAMA May 23, 1990.
The full text of the article is available by clicking the link.
This article was one of the first really good evidence based articles that really ushered in the current era of Evidence Based Medicine. As residents in Internal Medicine, you will be expected to be familiar with this study and it's findings. This is tested on the IM board exam and is discussed in the ICU and on the Wards. We will be focusing on the statistics of the article although the content is very good also.
Thank you,
Raffi
