Osteopathic Emergency Medicine Programs Infrequently Publish in High-Impact Emergency Medicine Journals
INTRODUCTION Both the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) require core faculty to engage in scholarly work, including publication in peer-reviewed journals. With the ACGME/AOA merger, we sought to evaluate the frequency of publication in high-impact peer-reviewed EM journals from authors affiliated with osteopathic emergenc...
متن کاملOn Bayesian Treatment of Systematic Uncertainties in Confidence Interval Calculation
In high energy physics, a widely used method to treat systematic uncertainties in confidence interval calculations is based on combining a frequentist construction of confidence belts with a Bayesian treatment of systematic uncertainties. In this note we present a study of the coverage of this method for the standard Likelihood Ratio (aka Feldman & Cousins) construction for a Poisson process wi...
متن کاملChart reviews in emergency medicine research: Where are the methods?
STUDY OBJECTIVE Medical chart reviews are often used in emergency medicine research. However, the reliability of data abstracted by chart reviews is seldom examined critically. The objective of this investigation was to determine the proportion of emergency medicine research articles that use data from chart reviews and the proportions that report methods of case selection, abstractor training,...
متن کاملHow Much are Emergency Medicine Specialists’ Decisions Reliable in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Pediatric Fractures?

Methods: From 2012 and 2013, children less than 14 years old who were referred to an academic hospital emergency departm...
متن کاملConfidence interval approach for evaluating bias in laboratory methods
A statistically significant difference in mean values between two laboratory quantitation methods is interpreted as a bias. Sometimes such a difference is so minute that it does not constitute any practical concern. An alternative approach is to test statistically whether the two methods are close enough, not for equality. This is to look at the confidence interval of the mean method difference...
