Among adults undergoing cardiac surgery at high risk of bleeding and platelet transfusion, cryopreserved platelets did not meet noninferiority for controlling postoperative bleeding and were less effective than liquid-stored platelets. #CCRdownunder ja.ma/4rEC06z

JAMA article titled 'Cryopreserved vs Liquid-Stored Platelets for the Treatment of Surgical Bleeding'. Key points: cryopreserved platelets may be less effective/safe than liquid-stored for cardiac surgery bleeding; didn't meet noninferiority criterion.

ImmunoSep uses a double-dummy design. What is this? It is a design to maintain blinding when 2 treatments can't be made identical- all participants receive 2 treatments- one which is active and the other which is placebo #ccrdownunder

RCT: Among patients with #sepsis, a precision immunotherapy strategy targeting macrophage activation-like syndrome and sepsis-induced immunoparalysis improved organ dysfunction by day 9 compared to placebo.#CCRdownunder ja.ma/3MkSb95

JAMA graph titled 'Figure 2. Primary End Point'. 'Change from the baseline SOFA score' is plotted for precision immunotherapy (orange) and placebo (blue). SOFA scores range from 0 to 20; x-axis is 1 to 145.

Thank you to Fresenius Kabi for a fabulous #FRANCASIA25 in beautiful Taiwan. It was my privilege to be part of the speaking team and share knowledge. The combined program of ICU, oncology and surgery provides the opportunity to learn from each field Some key takeaways 1/
