AND RCTs not the right metric @TheCIPHERStudy @PITSTOP_Study examples of cohort studies needed to design RCTs Massive value from qual/mixed method studies What we need is good research across the board, not to deliver 1000 RCTs in areas that aren't ready. #surgicalresearch

Research shows that between 50 to 70 percent of ostomates will develop a Parastomal Hernia. What are they? What causes one? what can you do to reduce your chances of developing one? Our website has a wealth of information to answer all the questions above ow.ly/5xtp50wSVhf

@TheCIPHERStudy will show if there's something in the way we make a #Stoma that increases #PSH risk, and @PropherStudy will give us data on repair/treatment. @Mcfark is hopefully going to look at the genetics behind it. Between us all we will make a huge difference for patients!
