Stefan Johansson, MD PhDThe #TREOCAPA trial is out, comparing paracetamol vs placebo for prophylactic tx of the PDA in infants <29w. More ducts closed but no diff in disease free survival…
More confusion on a higher level?!
Great to see that Prof Gautham Suresh takes over as chair of EBNEO!
Lets hope Gautham and team starts to share #NeoEBM also in the #nicuverse !
The plan is also to register EBNEO as a nonprofit org in the US (and de-reg as a nonprofit org in Sweden), a good step forward as the organisation is mostly led by US academics now. Glad to have seen it grow, from the early roots within @99nicu and @karolinskainstitutet !

Propensity score matching, as explained in this great stat series by NEJM.
Silly context example (“how are ratings for maple syrups compare?”) but otherwise good to get how it works.
BTW, it’s a bad decision by NEJM to place this content behind their paywall. To paraphrase the old saying - Education wants to be free!

Ida Lagerström - a raising star in perinatal epidemiology and clinical obstetrics!
She had her halftime-PhD seminar today, her thesis includes a very nice project (population-based register data etc) on term infants with Apgar
Score 0 at 10’, and their short and long term outcomes. Stay tuned until #jENS2025 in Belgrade!
(but hope to share paper1 here before the summer, manuscript to be submitted soon)
