Dr. Gregory Katz reiterates a point about subgroup analyses while discussing a trial on stress ulcers. Dr. Sarah Gorey gives a witty response. Listen to the latest episode of Beyond Journal Club from @coreimpodcast.bsky.social and NEJM Group: nej.md/3BdvNt9

Something that popped out at me that I hadn't previously quite appreciated:
- slow growing NTM endocarditis <-> prosthetic valves
- fast growing NTM endocarditis <-> native valves
And overall mortality 44%!

Great work @darknatter.bsky.social & team to put together a multi centre RCT on impact of procalcitonin (PCT) to guide antibiotic prescribing in ICU.
Needs a careful read to see how regular PCT use would translate and impact routine practice.
