Linear predictor plot for three modelling approaches to analyse continuous variables in a case study of cerebrospinal fluid glucose and acute bacterial meningitis

This article provides an overview of the current state of handling continuous variables in healthcare research.

It discusses the potential limitations of assuming a linear relationship between independent and dependent variables

Pre-operative use of GLP-1s is known to delay gastric emptying, but does that translate to an increased risk of pulmonary aspiration?

This systematic review and meta-analysis suggests NO.

Following an MI or stroke it took over 3 years for risk of postop MI to return to baseline for elective surgery.

Appreciate it could be either way - % cog decline could be higher (as a driver for loss to follow up) or lower (got better and didn’t bother to engage with follow up)

Fully aware of the challenges in hip fracture trials there is a very large loss to follow up (~70% lost to follow up).

These results are informative but I view them with considerable caution. Can we truly say 25% have cog decline if it’s only 25% of the 30% who could be reached?
