Recommendations for the College of Intensive Care Medicine (CICM) trainee research project: A modified Delphi study

ObjectiveTo determine the perceived barriers and enablers to efficient completion of the College of Intensive Care Medicine (CICM) of Australia and New Zealand Formal Project – a trainee research project mandated for award of CICM Fellowship – and to develop consensus-based recommendations to support Intensive Care trainees and supervisors. DesignA two-stage modified Delphi study was conducted. In stage one, an anonymous electronic survey was distributed with three targeted open-ended questions relating to perceived key steps, barriers to, and improvements for efficient completion of the Formal Project. A thematic analysis used the survey results to generate a list of close-ended questions.In stage two, a consensus panel comprising of 30 panellists including CICM trainees, Formal Project supervisors and assessors, and critical care researchers, underwent a Delphi process with two rounds of voting and discussion to generate consensus-based recommendations. SettingSurveys were distributed to Intensive Care Units across Australia and New Zealand. The consensus panel convened at the Queensland Critical Care Research Network Annual Scientific Meeting in Redcliffe, Queensland, Australia, on 9 June 2023. ParticipantsCICM trainees, Formal Project supervisors and assessors, and critical care researchers in Australia and New Zealand. Main outcome measuresConsensus-based recommendations for the CICM Formal Project. ResultsWe received 88 responses from the stage one survey. Stage two finalised 22 consensus-based recommendations, centring on key steps of the research process, resources for trainees, and support and training for supervisors. ConclusionsTwenty-two recommendations were developed aiming to make the process of completing the mandatory CICM research project more efficient, and to improve the quality of research produced from these projects.

RETRACTION: Effectiveness of anti-CGRP monoclonal antibodies for persistent headaches in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension.

Retraction: Frerichs, L., Nandy, K., Friedman, D.I. (2022) P-119. Effectiveness of anti-CGRP monoclonal antibodies for persistent headaches in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension [Abstract] Headache, v 62.S1: 106. https://doi.org/10.1111/head.14317. The above abstract from American Headache Society 64th Annual Scientific Meeting June 9-12, 2022 Denver, Colorado, published online on 20 May 2022, in Wiley Online Library (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/), has been retracted by agreement between the authors, the journal Editor in Chief, Amy A. Gelfand, the American Headache Society, and Wiley Periodicals, LLC. The retraction has been agreed because the authors have reported that, following the presentation and publishing of the abstract, subsequent independent statistical analysis of the data indicated that the results presented were incorrect and contradicted the initial conclusions.

Thirty-five years of the European Society of Hypertension: from past to future.

The European Society of Hypertension (ESH) was established 35 years ago. Since then, it promoted and coordinated a number of activities which include educational projects, epidemiological surveys and research investigations whose main focus includes different clinical and therapeutic aspects of the hypertensive disease. This article, which is based on data presented during the Presidential lecture held during the 33rd ESH Meeting in Berlin, will provide an overview of the main organization and structure of the ESH. Emphasis will be given to the relevance of the different society bodies, with a particular focus on the educational and research activities, such as the 15 working groups and the more than 120 excellence centers located in European and extra-European countries. Other main activities of the Society refer to the ESH Hypertension Specialist Program, the ESH Summer School, the ESH Young Fellow Program and the Annual Scientific Meeting of the Society. A special emphasis will be given to the central role of the Society in the organization of the various research projects and in the development and dissemination of the ESH Guideline document on hypertension diagnosis and treatment. Finally, the future perspectives of the ESH in the context of the European scientific framework will be highlighted.

Cultivating a “Feminine” Surgical Culture: Lessons from Indonesia

Background: Despite a growing number of female physicians, most practicing surgeons in the U.S. are still men. By contrast, Indonesia has achieved notable gender parity among surgeons, with the number of women practicing as plastic surgeons projected to soon surpass men. Achieving more female representation in plastic surgery is important for delivering high-quality care, especially in the face of physician shortages and high burnout. Methods: This survey study was conducted at the 26th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Indonesian Association of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (InaPRAS) in Manado, Indonesia, during August 2023. Respondents were asked about their perceptions of plastic surgery, mentorship, career motivations, and caregiving responsibilities. Responses were scored using a 3-point Likert scale of agreement to statements (Disagree, Neutral, Agree); χ2 and Fischer’s exact test were performed to assess differences in responses by gender. Results: In this validated survey of 175 plastic surgeon trainees and attendings, there were no significant difference between genders in the perception and roles of mentorship in preparing for a career in plastic surgery. Respondents for both genders espoused optimistic views on work-life balance items, including time for family and friends and flexibility of work schedules. Conclusion: Indonesia can serve as a model for encouraging greater gender parity in plastic surgery. Community-level interventions such as family leave policies, childcare provisions, and initiatives to promote an inclusive culture will create a more supportive workplace to increase women’s representation in plastic surgery in the United States and around the world.

Novel primary care research is showcased in Brighton at the latest Society for Academic Primary Care annual scientific meeting

Is face‐to‐face better than a virtual consultation? How do people feel about artificial intelligence helping with diabetic eye screening? And, are there ethnic variations in infection risk in type 2 diabetes?These were just a small sample of questions that research presented at the 51st Annual Scientific Meeting of the Society for Academic Primary Care, held over two days in Brighton in July 2023, tried to address. Steve Titmarsh reports.

Recent advances in cardiology – Hot trials from the American Heart Association Annual Scientific Meeting 2023

ABSTRACT Cardiovascular (CV) diseases are the leading causes of death worldwide in both sexes alike. However, there have been significant developments in CV pharmacotherapy, percutaneous intervention, and systems of care over the past three decades in parallel. Several landmark studies were presented and discussed in American Heart Association (AHA) 2023 Scientific Sessions held in Philadelphia. The dapagliflozin-myocardial infarction (MI) and SELECT discussed the CV benefits of newer antidiabetic drugs. The AZALEA-TIMI and ARTESIA evaluated newer anticoagulants in atrial fibrillation. VERVE-101 and LEPODISIRAN studies were related to lipid-lowering in clinical practice. The ESPRIT trial demonstrated the benefits of intensive blood lowering, while KARDIA-1 tested a new RNA-based therapeutic agent for blood pressure lowering. The MINT trial evaluated strategies for blood transfusion in anemia concomitant with acute MI. ORBITA-2 study demonstrated the positive impact of percutaneous coronary intervention for angina control in stable coronary artery disease. Hence, these studies encompassed almost all aspects of cardiology, including heart failure, acute coronary syndrome, lipidology, anticoagulation, hypertension, obesity, and coronary intervention.
