My favorite: Pharmacist-led interventions in barber shops improve blood pressure control in African-Americans. Let's station them everywhere, shall we?

for all who write/read grants&papers, for all those that consume quantitative data, this appears to be a great resource. These tools are sophisticated and with 'big data' visualization needs, i begin to wonder whether a picture is worth only a 1000 words..sells pictures short

Question for everybody: Has anyone done tried the Manfredini (jasn.asnjournals.org/content/28/4/1… …) approach to home exercise (metronym-paced walking)? I've been using whatever free metronym apps I can find.

Kidney transplant-related organ acquisition cost payments amounted to 4% of Medicare ESRD expenditure ($100k per transplant). Waitlist size and comorbidities contribute to this increase; expanding the waitlist will likely increase costs and liability. ja.ma/3KuTZpK

@CJASN USRDS data shows population based eGFR is stable, yet some use CKD classification to suggest there is an epidemic. #USRDS #CKD #eGFR

Super excited by our study in @plosmedicine on the cost-effectiveness of multi-disciplinary care in #CKD! We found that even under pessimistic scenarios, a program would be cost-effective, epsecially in high-risk patients with high-levels of albuminuria.

Compared to receiving care in the private sector (via Medicare), vets with advanced CKD receiving VA care are less likely to be treated with dialysis and yet have the same mortality. What are we gaining, then, by dialyzing old pts with CKD aggressively? x.com/taraichang/sta…
