The Evidence Based Rheumatology Podcast

E14: Cardiovascular Safety of Febuxostat

Today we'll discuss an important trial on febuxostat (ulloric), which raises important concerns about its safety from a cardiovascular perspective. Be sure to tune in to the #RheumJC discussion that will be happening this Thursday! 

E13: Withdrawing HCQ in SLE

Short podcast today on an old RCT addressing the utility of hydroxychloroquine (plaquenil) in lupus. It's an oldie but goodie and one that I enjoyed talking about. 

E12: ACR 2015 Workforce Study - the Rheumageddon!

This week we'll discuss the recently published ACR Workforce Study, which estimates a substantial deficit in the workforce by 2030.  We'll consider how dire the situation actually is - checkout the paper itself here. 

E11: Development and Validation of the HScore

This week the rheumageddon is postponed (yet again) because I researched a paper about the HScore, a scoring criteria for hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), during a clinical vignettes presentation for fellowshiop. It made sense to do a podcast about that paper and save the rheumageddon for next week.  Hope y'all enjoy!  Paper can be accessed here.
