World's only RCT of myomectomy for infertility, a common operation. 423 cites & many guidelines. Did randomisation go wrong? P value errors? pubpeer.com/publications/E… Why publish before follow-up complete & never update or respond to Cochrane? @gynendo @tandfonline
Just noticed how Netflix blockbuster "One Day" opens. "Days are where we live. They come, they wake us." @PLSoc
As Viki says, not randomised, so still possibility of selection bias. But it's still more good evidence of safety.

A problem. We tend to assume Nordic countries get this right. But pleased to see that the only unpublished OB trial I could find was one of CS with or without a catheter from Aarhus. Hope I didn't miss any others. @Ellennohr @HelenaStrevens senseaboutscience.org/activities/nor…
Breech day at Birmingham Womens. Term Breech trial still best evidence. Consistent with, & supported by, all subsequent research. Most parents choose CS. But for those who choose vaginal, or come in advanced labour, need to learn vaginal breech.
Would it be unfair to conclude that back in the day, in Rome, RCTs were getting republished with different comparison groups & different numbers? HT @bwmol. pubpeer.com/publications/A… pubpeer.com/publications/7… pubpeer.com/publications/3… pubpeer.com/publications/D…

@jimgthornton What I’m referring to is the previous literature and the similar test performance here: if you have a normal angiogenic marker highly unlikely to need delivery in two weeks. <1% in this high risk cohort….eg (for Roche ratio….)

The Term Breech Trial is excellent evidence that traditional teaching for breech has not been based on evidence & results in unnecessarily high adverse outcome rates. ejog.org/article/S0301-…
Breech day at Birmingham Womens. Term Breech trial still best evidence. Consistent with, & supported by, all subsequent research. Most parents choose CS. But for those who choose vaginal, or come in advanced labour, need to learn vaginal breech.
