So we should remove diastolic targets from guidelines no? @hswapnil.medsky.social

It is not lack of capacity driving this in Scotland. It is patient choice.

This seems like a - let us write more guidelines that will get heavily cited and boost my h-index - piece
I will argue we need less guidelines
They should be like wars - waged only when absolutely necessary (stealing from @cardiobrief.bsky.social Larry Husten www.forbes.com/sites/larryh...)

Why Health Guidelines Should Be Waged Like War
Updated Here's a modest proposal: we need fewer and shorter guidelines. In fact, I'd like to propose that guidelines, like war, should be waged only when there is absolute consensus and overwhelming e...

Contrary to other studies we observed highest incidence of thrombotic events in min change but we analysed events per month of NS. So maybe nothing special about membranous other than NS is sustained for longer than other causes? pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27669572/
Venous Thromboembolism in Primary Nephrotic Syndrome - Is the Risk High Enough to Justify Prophylactic Anticoagulation? - PubMed
Patients with primary NS are at an increased risk of VTE. The timing of VTE means that only half of episodes would be targeted by prophylactic anticoagulation. Given the low frequency of events, a wel...

Could it be that higher incidence of thrombotic events in the first 6m is because some NS scenarios involve imbalance of protein loss in favour of thrombosis and some don’t? So what remains after a few months is latter (who by implication will be harmed by anticoag because they never needed it)

We’re no further forward after 30 years of debate. Producing detailed treatment algorithms based on flawed observational evidence makes the RCTs the authors cry out for less likely to happen. Recommending a “Highly personalised” approach is code for “we don’t know”.
