In the latest review of high impact quality and safety articles, authors from the Ann Arbor VA and University of Michigan (including @JMeddings1 and @ashwin_b_gupta) reviewed three recent trials for BMJ Quality & Safety. These trials included: (i) the iCOMPARE trial¹ of patient safety outcomes by maximum duration of intern duty hour period in the US; (ii) the duration of antibiotics prescribed in English primary practices compared with official recommendations;² and (iii) complications and costs related to abnormalities seen on low-dose CT during screening for lung cancer in the US.³ More articles in the series can be found here and here.
