heathy candidate bias in ICD trials?
I've just been reading this
http://www.bmj.com/content/348/bmj.g2866
regarding a bias towards 'healthy' candidates for ICD implantation . From what I have seen (and guess practice) this rings very true . The conclusion is that this is 'thoughtful clinical decision making in which doctors use factors such as frailty to allocate expensive therapies to patients who are most likely to benefit'
do you agree?
