Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of open and closed questionnaire formats in obtaining demographic information from Canadian general internists.
TL;DR: Investigators can achieve higher response rates for demographic items using closed format response options, but at the risk of increasing inaccuracy in response to questions requiring computation, according to this study.

Journal ArticleDOI
When should an effective treatment be used? Derivation of the threshold number needed to treat and the minimum event rate for treatment.
TL;DR: Quantification of the determinants of the threshold NNT and of the minimum event rate to justify treatment can assist clinicians and patients in the explicit use of underlying values when making treatment decisions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single Daily Dosing of Aminoglycosides in Immunocompromised Adults: A Systematic Review
TL;DR: The results suggest that SDD of aminoglycosides may be efficacious for febrile, immunocompromised patients and additional studies are necessary for more precise quantification of the mortality and toxicity risk ratios.
