Talk Evidence - a new way of understanding antidepressant effectiveness
In this week's episode, Joe Ross, professor of medicine at Yale, and The BMJ's US research editor, and Juan Franco, researcher at Heinrich-Heine-Universit ät and editor in chief of BMJ EBM are in the hot-seat.
They will discuss new research on the effectiveness of antidepressants - based on all the individual patient data submitted to the FDA between 1979 and now.
We'll take a look at a study of industry sponsorship of cost effectiveness analysis, and seeing similar patters of publication bias to RCTs.
And finally we'll be talking about new research on the ongoing, and emergent pandemics - covid and monkeypox.

Reflecting on a crisis
Previous Doctor Informed episodes have discussed how to prevent patient safety issues from occurring, but sometimes situations are beyond anyone's control - like COVID.
It can be hard to look back, especially if difficult decisions and compromises were made, including ones we did not completely agree with, or if there could be criticism of the way we responded. We ask how individual doctors, teams, and organisations could respond to and recover from major problems?
In this episode, we're joined by Annelieke Driessen, a THIS Institute fellow and medical anthropologist. She is a research fellow at the University of Oxford ...

Talk Evidence - shoulders, knees, and woes
In this episode, Juan Franco, editor in chief of BMJ EBM, and Helen Macdonald, The BMJ's research integrity editor, sit down to discuss what's new in the world of evidence.
Firstly, last week they went to the first EBM Live conference for two years - and report back on what happened when the evidence community got back together.
We have two research papers looking at knees and shoulders, and finding out about the balance of risks and benefits.
In covid news, we're still finding new symptoms associated with infection, 2.5 years after the pandemic started. We'll also hear how complex it is to research vaccine efficacy now...
