What we know and mostly do not know about bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome

Abstract

‘Much of what medical researchers conclude in their studies is misleading, exaggerated, or flat-out wrong.’ That was the headline in an article titled ‘Lies, Damned Lies and Medical Science’ published in the November 2010 issue of the Atlantic Monthly.1 The story featured the contributions of Dr John Ioannidis, whose essay ‘Why most published research findings are false’2 deserves more attention among investigators involved in studies of chronic GVHD.
