Talk Evidence - endometriosis, falling, and better EBM
In this month's episode, Helen Juan and Joe delve into the clinical - with a new review of endometriosis, and why the difficulty in diagnosis has lead to a dearth of evidence and attention on the condition.
Joe tells us about a risk prediction tool that could be useful in helping to mitigate some of the problems of antihypertensive treatments.
We're also having a geek out about a group of papers we've published lately, on how well evidence is created, maintained, and diseminated.
Reading list;

In this month's Talk Evidence, Helen Macdonald, The BMJ's research integrity editor, is joined again by Juan Franco, editor in chief of BMJ EBM, and Joe Ross, US research editor.
