Response adaptive randomization adjusts allocation probabilities over the course of a trial, based on accumulating data. RAR increases allocation to arms performing well, and decreases allocation to arms performing poorly. In multiple arm trials, this has advantages over fixed randomization.
Not gonna lie, I’m still wrapping my head around RAR (Response-Adaptive Randomization). Anyone have a simple breakdown? #idsky
🔥REMAP-CAP RCT🔥
Among patients admitted to the ICU with severe non-pandemic CAP & either cardiovascular or respiratory failure there was a low probability that a 7d fixed-duration course of hydrocortisone improved 90d mortality @pulmcrit.bsky.social #EMIMCC #IDSky

For my inaugural post, Im proud to announce the publication of our Safer@Home care model. This is going to change how medicine is practiced. No need to admit pts "for IV antibiotics" anymore. Or just for IV diuresis in CHF. Or just for EtOH withdrawal. Etc.

After ~30 patients randomized in the 3 main domains of SNAP trial at our 🏥 (~80 screened);
🤩 I’m excited to begin the process to become a site for the substudy « DAPTO-SNAP »
➡️ Compare the effects of DAPTO vs VANCO in MRSA bacteraemia (w/ nested randomization)

Our microbiology lab 🏥 now has his own MALDI-TOF
Yes, we were sending some samples to another lab (for MALDI) & were still doing local Pasteurian microbiology 🧫🧪😳
Québec province was a total disgrace in microbiology 🏥
Now it’s slowly better 🤞
