TLDR
Findings, i.e. that as-needed AO provided for a period of 3 months had no effect on quality of life and walked distance, are against the stream of current guidelines.Abstract:
I. Garcia-Talavera's reaction to the results of our trial of ambulatory oxygen (AO) in oxygen-dependent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is of no surprise to us. We realise that our findings, i.e. that as-needed AO provided for a period of 3 months had no effect on quality of life and walked distance 1, are against the stream of current guidelines ( i.e. that active patients receiving long-term oxygen therapy should have both stationary and mobile systems of oxygen delivery) 2 …read more

The qualitative content analysis process
Satu Elo,Helvi Kyngäs +1 more
TL;DR: Inductive content analysis is used in cases where there are no previous studies dealing with the phenomenon or when it is fragmented, and a deductive approach is useful if the general aim was to test a previous theory in a different situation or to compare categories at different time periods.

Delays in managing lung cancer
TL;DR: Efforts to reduce delays in lung cancer management should not cease even though they may not affect the prognosis, and reducing intervals between presentation and treatment might downstage patients and allow an improvement in survival.

When was a negativë clinical trial big enough? how many patients you needed depends on what you found
Allan S. Detsky,David L. Sackett +1 more
TL;DR: This work suggests that this "prospective" sample size calculation is incorrect, for once the trial is over the authors have "hard" data from which to estimate the actual size of the treatment effect.

TL;DR: Assessment of the short-term clinical impact of ambulatory O2 in a 12-week, double-blind, randomised crossover study of O2 of dyspnoeic but not chronically hypoxic COPD patients with exertional desaturation found improvements in Chronic Respiratory Questionnaire, Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale and the short form SF-36.

TL;DR: This work provides a simple, systematic method for determining the clinical importance of study results that uses the relationship between the point estimate of the treatment effect and the estimates of the smallest treatment effect that would lead to a change in a patient’s management.
