@SurgJC #SurgJc was thought provoking and useful. Great thing for trainees to be involved in. National/international journal club. #knowledgeonaplate 👍👍👍

Do you miss #surgJc?

Might have to end #SurgJC unless some more wo:manpower is available to help !?

@kidney_boy Love his #SurgJC hat. 😉 happy Father’s Day

SurgJC is going on a journal club Summer break - see you soon, enjoy the sun and stay healthy and safe everywhere! (will still be posting interesting articles, just no #SurgJC)

Finally (D7) the question is which outcomes matter to patients, and what improvement in walking distance is relevant to them? 8m? 20m? 50m? #FoodForThought #SurgJC

D5 👉 biopsy results not shown – but do we need them to add to the results? #SurgJC

D4 👉 🚨Identification of patients – AB(P)I as factor to select patients for intervention? Were patients on optimal medical therapy? #SurgJC

D3 - 👉 Follow up ⏬ High dropout rate – why? Partly affected by #COVID19 in later stages, but cannot use this excuse early on #SurgJC

D2 👉 Recruitment. For a study across 4 centres in a *very* common condition, why took the enrolment of 300 patients took so many years? #SurgJC

R4 - Comparing the groups rather than looking at changes within a group. Remember the minimal clinically important difference in PAD patients was described as 8-20m with 50m labelled “large” difference #SurgJC

R3 – Primary outcome: 12mo 6min walk exercise distance 🚶 333m >> 327m 🚶 🚶 🚶 338m >> 371m ☎️ 328m >> 317m #SurgJC

R2c – Baseline 🚶🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️- last part of long table #SurgJC

R2b – Baseline comorbidities 📊 - ⚠️longtable continued – co-morbidities #surgJC

R2a – Baseline 📊 - ⚠️long table broken down – first age, sex, race, ABPI #SurgJC

R1 –Lets check out the 🔭 Results #SurgJC: 441 approached, 305 randomised, 250 completed F/up completed: 82% in lo intensity / 85% hi intensity / 73% no exercise group
