Talk Evidence - excess deaths, the ONS, and the healthcare crisis
In this week's episode, we're focusing on covid and the ongoing crisis in the NHS.
Helen Macdonald, Juan Franco and Joseph Ross cast their evidence seeking eyes over research into outcomes as well as the workload of doctors.
Firstly, Joe tells us about a new big data study into longer term outcomes after mild covid-19, how those ongoing symptoms relate to long covid, and how often they resolve themselves.
Juan looks back to his homeland to see what Argentina which was very early to offer children vaccinations against covid-19. He tells us how a new study design can help understand how effective different combinations of...

Xpert Ultra for diagnosing tuberculosis and rifampicin resistance in children
Most Cochrane Reviews look at the effects of interventions on health, but a growing number provide evidence on how to diagnose a disease. In September 2022, one of these diagnostic test accuracy reviews was updated for a test used to detect tuberculosis in children. The lead author, Alex Kay (left), and co-author, Tara Ness, from the Texas Children ’s Hospital in Houston in the USA, tell us about the importance of the review and its latest findings in this podcast.
