Prof Carl HeneghanJulia blasts the Covid Inquiry for its “utter distain” towards people who questioned lockdown compared to how it examines “so-called experts.”"They went again the scientific evidence, again and again and again. There doesn't seem to any proper scrutiny!" Professor Carl Heneghan says the possibility of learning lessons from the pandemic has gone “out the window” at the Covid inquiry.“Everybody is blaming everybody else… it is clear that the evidence that the decisions were made on is also not part of this inquiry.” Hosted on Acas...2023-11-2012 min

Evidence-Based Health CareEvidence in Women's Health: Are there higher mortality rates in women who have been operated on by male surgeons?In 2022 a Canadian population based retrospective cohort study hit the headlines in the U.K. by claiming that women were 32% more likely to die if operated on by a male surgeon. The study was led by Christopher Wallace who sought to examine the link between surgeon patient sex discordance and postoperative outcomes. Data was collected for over 1.3 million patients and nearly 3000 surgeons were included. It found that 14.9% of patients had one or more adverse postoperative outcome. But that worse outcomes were seen for female patients operated on by male surgeons, but not for males operated on by female surgeons.

(1.20) Carl grinds his gears over general health checks, with an update in the Cochrane Library.
(9.15) Helen is surprised by new research which looks at over prescription of antibiotics - but this time because the courses prescribed are far longer than guidelines suggest.
(22.30) What is the true 99th centile of high sensitivity cardiac troponin in hospital patients?
(29.02) Is it time to abandon statistical significance and be aware of the problem of the transposed conditional.

In this talk he will discuss some recent case examples, working with the BBC amongst others. This talk will discuss how using an evidence-based approach can help overcome the growing problem of fake news, and provide insights on how to work with the media to ensure your message is not distorted, and will discuss why academics should engage more with the media and the wider public.

They start by talking about shoulders - what does the evidence say about treating subacromial pain, and why the potential for a subgroup effect shouldn't change our views about stop surgery (for now, more research needed).
(16.00) Statins - more uncertainty about statins, this is now looking at older people. Age is a big risk factor for cardiovascular disease - at what point does that risk overwhelm any potential benefit from taking statins?

They start by talking about how difficult a task it is to find evidence that's definitely practice changing, what GPs can learn from Malawian children with nonsevere fast-breathing pneumonia, how radiation dosage varies substantially - and consultant radiologist Amy Davies what that means for patients.
They also rail against add-on tests for fertility, and the lack of evidence underpinning their use - will the traffic light system suggested help patients make treatment choices.

Carl Heneghan, Professor of Evidence-Based Medicine, employs evidence-based methods to research diagnostic reasoning, test accuracy and communicating diagnostic results to a wider audience.
This talk was held as part of the Evidence-Based Diagnosis and Screening module which is part of the MSc in Evidence-Based Health Care and the MSc in EBHC Medical Statistics.2019-02-0633 min
The BMJ PodcastTalk evidence - TIAs, aging in Japan and women in medicineIn this EBM round-up, Carl Heneghan, Helen Macdonald and Duncan Jarvies are back to give you an update
Dual vs single therapy for prevention of TIA or minor stroke - how does the advice that dual work better translate in the UK?
Carl explains why Japan can teach us to get active and, how GPs can use that information to "drop a decade" in aging.
Finally, Helen took some time to relax over Christmas - until she read a story in the Christmas edition about gender discrimination in medicine, and it reminded her of her time on the ward.

Patients are being let down by serious flaws in the creation, dissemination, and implementation of medical research. Too much of the resulting research evidence is withheld or disseminated only piecemeal. As the volume of clinical research activity has grown, the quality of evidence has often worsened, which has compromised medicine's ability to provide affordable, effective, high-value care for patients.

litigation after suffering serious complications. But there have been concerns ever since the first type of vaginal
mesh was launched in the mid-nineties, only to be withdrawn a few years later. Carl Heneghan, Professor of Evidence Based Medicine
at the University of Oxford, explains the 'shambolic' regulation of medical devices, Consultant gynaecologist Swati Jha, who has been collecting data on

Rewley House Research SeminarsHopeWhat is Hope? This seminar explored what hope is and invited us to consider what hope means to people in different circumstances. We were delighted to welcome as speakers Peter Hinton (DPhil student at the Department for Continuing Education), Dr Christine Jackson (Associate Professor in History at the Department for Continuing Education), and Prof Carl Heneghan (Professor of Evidence-Based Medicine at the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences) who led a multidisciplinary discussion on the theme of 'Hope', particularly as it relates to their own work.2016-11-211h 08Evidence-Based Health CareWhat has EBM done for healthcare?Professor Carl Heneghan gives a talk for the Centre for Evidence Based Medicine podcast series. EBM has been transformational for healthcare, however, currently it is poorly understood how this has occurred over time. Using Heart Attack as an example, Prof Carl Heneghan will demonstrate and discuss how EBM has saved lives, and invite the audience to consider the consequence of a health system without evidence.

Kellogg CollegeDeadly Devices and Dangerous Drugs, the Secrets Behind Medical ResearchA talk hosted by Kellogg College and the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine at the University Museum of Natural History, as part of the University's Alumni Weekend. Presented by Carl Heneghan, Jeff Aronson, Deb Cohen, Ben Goldacre, chaired by Sharon Mickan. Is it surprising that individual and institutional self-interests in research, combined with increased global competition, undermine scientific integrity? Regulatory systems that aim to underpin health research are under considerable strain. Keeping track of, and explaining why research goes wrong, is an important priority for delivery of sustained health outcomes, and support of the conduct of high quality research.
