The Evolution of Truth: Evidence-Based Medicine's Path from Heresy to Artificial Inteligence
How do we determine which interventions truly benefit patients? This seemingly simple inquiry has profound implications for patient outcomes, healthcare resources, and the very nature of medical practice.
The Quest to "Eternal" timeless causality. Stepped-Wedge Randomized Trials
The pursuit of invariant truths. Experiments controls variables, models that adjusts for confounders. By "Controlling for Time" we get a taste of eternity, of knowledge that doesn’t expire when the clock ticks forward.
Stepped-Wedge Cluster Randomized Trials: Methodological Foundations and Case Study
For researchers and health policy makers, understanding the value of SW-CRTs can open doors to more robust evaluation of health programs. In an era of accountability and evidence-based policy, being able to demonstrate that a new strategy works (or that it doesn’t or needs modification) is crucial.
Have we conquered Obesity? New Anti-Obesity Medications: – A Review
We examine effectiveness, side effects, long-term risk–benefit balance, and issues of pharmaceutical bias and transparency.
Pragmatic Randomized Control Trials: How Science Works in Real-Life Conditions
Clinical Trial Results are context dependent
Shiny APP: Quality of Antenatal care in Mozambique.
Shiny App to Replicate the results of a large, Stepped-Wedge Pragmatic Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial. This is the largest study ever conducted on Quality of Care During Pregnancy in Africa.
Exceptional HIV Coverage vs. Neglected Basic Care. PEPFAR actions in Africa.
This is an analysis of the results of the largest study ever conducted on Quality of Care During Pregnancy in Africa.
PEPFAR: $110 billion in HIV/AIDS response. Beneath this victory, a quiet disaster grew.
Billions flowed in. Many lives were supposedly saved. Yet Mothers suffered neglect, and died from simple, easily fixable conditions.
Evidence Based Medicine: History, Impact, and Future in the Age of AI
EBM changed the physician’s approach from one of inherited habits to one of inquisitive skepticism, always asking “what is the evidence?” This cultural shift has arguably made medicine more humble, prestige and authority challenged. AI is forcing one more paradigm shift. What's Next?
