Metformin and Long COVID, Central Lines and Thrombocytopenia, DOACs vs LMWH in Cancer Associated Thrombosis, Early vs Late Anticoagulation after Stroke with Atrial Fibrillation
Show Notes

Today we are joined by Dr. Brian Locke, recently graduated pulmonary-critical care fellow, who takes us on a journey of avoiding statistical fallacies. Does metformin reduce the likelihood of long COVID? Should we give platelet transfusions to thrombocytopenic patients before central line placement? Did the CANVAS trial change practice in cancer associated thrombosis? Should patients with a stroke due to atrial fibrillation start oral anticoagulation earlier or later? We discuss all these questions on more on today's episode. Check it out!
