It's that time of year again: Machine Learning for Health (ML4H) is back. This time we're heading down under to sunny Sydney, Australia, on Dec. 6–7, 2026, right before @neuripsconf.bsky.social Call for Papers is live: ml4h.ahli.cc/submit/call-... Submission Deadline is Sep. 10, 2026 #ML4H2026

Trying to decide whether to include bootstrapped CIs in results of a non-representative survey for a clinical journal. I wonder what @f2harrell.bsky.social would do. My gut feeling is that including them might not add much value, while increasing the risk of misinterpretation by readers. #StatsSky

Our newest paper led by @suryapbhatt.bsky.social and @msafavi.bsky.social: At least 1 moderate or 1 severe exacerbation over the previous 2 years has the highest discrimination and clinical utility for predicting high #COPD exacerbation risk. @atsblueeditor.bsky.social doi.org/10.1093/ajrc...

Am I understanding this right? The standard grading scale in Denmark goes –3, 00, 02, 4, 7, 10, 12 ! This is amazing. I kinda love it. I mean I hate it. But I love it.

Det gør den også til en vis grad. På nær 0 ➡️ 1 ➡️ 2 ift. resten. Men klart bedre end det nuværende system.

I know of a 40,000 patient clinical trial where the SAS programmer determined the key secondary outcome as positive if Y=time to stroke < maximum follow-up time. Y=missing -> positive outcome because with SAS missing < anything. The error still stands.

Our latest in ERJ: Beyond other conceptual flaws, race-specific spirometry references face practical issues because technicians often misclassify race and ethnicity of visible minority patients which introduces further bias in clinical algorithms: bit.ly/4qozHUq @europeanrespsoc.bsky.social

We have a new paper in Science Advances proposing a simple test for bias: Is the same person treated differently when their race is perceived differently? Specifically, we study: is the same driver likelier to be searched by police when they are perceived as Hispanic rather than white? 1/

Allowing doctors to practise in both public and private systems solves what exactly? What Alberta is proposing may sound good superficially but makes no sense in the Canadian context, by @picardonhealth.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti... via @theglobeandmail.com

Social Determinants of Health and Racial Disparities in Lung Function Environmental exposures explain a larger proportion of racial disparities in lung function than previously believed aminad.bsky.social @news.ubc.ca @donsin40.bsky.social @msafavi.bsky.social 🔗 tinyurl.com/43vb6ubz

Some health-data companies are selling access to patient records to pharmaceutical companies without patients’ knowledge, according to a new study, by @hannay.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art... via @theglobeandmail.com

Health-data companies selling access to patient records, study says

Research paper highlights potential downsides when private companies are integrated into the health care system in crucial roles without enough oversight

Is it (race as a social determinant of health)... or is it (racism as a fundamental cause of health inequities")?

🗞️Hot off the press in @atsblueeditor.bsky.social! Our analysis shows that unfavourable social and environmental exposures explain a much larger share of racial disparities in lung function than previously thought. Details: doi.org/10.1164/rccm... @msafavi.bsky.social @awgaffney.bsky.social
