In this week's episode, Helen Macdonald is joined by Joseph Ross, US research editor for The BMJ, and Juan Franco, editor of BMJ EBM. They begin by discussing a review of obesity interventions in primary care, and Joe wonders if GPs are really the best people to tackle the issue. https://www.bmj.com/content/377/bmj-2021-069719 Cervical screening in the UK now includes HPV testing, and they look at research which examines whether this could mean longer periods between screening tests. https://www.bmj.com/content/377/bmj-2021-068776 They all enjoy a new State of the Art Review into Revascularization in stable coronary artery disease. https://www.bmj.com/content/377/bmj-2021-067085 Juan and Joe look at a review into combinations of covid-19 vaccinations - and wonder whether we'll ever see more trials to fit into this meta-analysis. https://www.bmj.com/content/377/bmj-2022-069989 Finally, they find out how your political persuasion has affected mortality in the US, with new research that links Republican and Democrat voters with differential changes in mortality.
