New publication dropped today in @NEJM - we don't need to guess what's going to happen to pregnancy care when Roe falls, in #Texas we already know.

Banning abortion will not dramatically increase the “domestic supply of infants” for adoption. It also won't have a big effect on birth rates. How do I know this? Because I led the Turnaway Study. turnawaystudy.com

Potpourri to round out the #SGOMtg: @rosamillerkone @EmmaBarberMD on adjuvant RT for #vulvarcancer with an important takeaway:
“The potential morbidity of adjuvant radiation must be weighed against the lack of clear evidence of efficacy in patients with early-stage disease”

Awesome data about immunotherapy in clear cell #OvarianCancer with PPP2R1A mutations. Maybe a new treatment algorithm for this rare tumor if confirmed? Congrats @HinchcliffEmily @AmirJazaeri ! #SGO2022 @MDAndersonNews @SGO_org

We accommodate patients of different shapes and sizes in the OR. But surgeons who are women are still fitting into gloves and gowns, and using tools and tables made for men. Imagine an environment where surgeons of all shapes and sizes can thrive. #1001cuts #ILookLikeASurgeon

From @BrighamWomens
Female PCPs receive 24% more staff messages (9.6 messages/month), and 26% more patient messages (51.5 messages/month) (p values 0.03 and 0.004, respectively).

See, paying them could incentivize them to reach a particular conclusion, so instead we base their value in academia on their ability to get papers published, ultimately tying their employment and salary to repeatedly reaching particular conclusions.

Investigator-initiated trials should receive more recognition by academia. The time & effort that go into getting funding, designing, conducting, & maintaining compliance are enormous. Still they get judged based mostly on clinical results & often wind up in low-impact journals.

Had you got the impression that propensity matching represents a big advance over traditional regression for adjusted analysis in #observationalstudies? Sorry, too bad, a #JAMA Users’ Guides shows it’s not so.
