Race concordance bears a similarity to studies examining male vs female, and IMG vs US physicians. The results on the latter two make news for a week or so, and then exit the scene (and whose results seem to be more readily accepted). Validity aside, adjusting for race is likely more fraught with confounders and more challenging to analyze, in addition to the topic's tendency to garner more attention.
Excellent discussion of all the limitations of the basic data. Probably enough to say garbage in---garbage out. But it maybe legitimate to point out that there is no obvious causative relationship between the drugs and cancer and I say that as one who does not see any utility in the GLP-1 agonists.
Using ultra-processed data to hide GLP-1 inhibitor safety signals should not nourish our reassurance. Does it seem plausible to anyone that there are only upsides to its use?
Alright I know you guys just missed the big health news announcement on Monday, but I'm looking forward to a thorough analysis of the studies purporting to show Tylenol's link with autism in pregnant women soon. Is it crazy talk?
I don’t understand why the authors of the original (2020) study chose to look at racial concordance between newborn and neonatal care giver when the 9 months spent in the uterus have a greater impact on neonatal mortality than the hours or days spent in the newborn nursery or NICU (which the association with low birth weight ultimately brought to light.) It seems that they should have focused on racial concordance between mother and obstetrical care giver if they were going to attempt to undertake a meaningful study of a social determinate of neonatal health.
Re: The Doctor/Patient Race study: The progressive left's vile obsession with race belongs in the same historical garbage bin as that of a JimCrow era redneck. Both groups share the exact racial sensibilities, "Stick to your own kind." There is a slogan current among progressives that your physician (police officer, firefighter, etc) should look like you.
Then a poorly analyzed study seems to give support to this insulting narrative. Thank you for publishing this re-analysis to debunk the whole mess.
