Just published in @sjtrem.bsky.social - a short re-analysis of recent work on the efficacy of physician-staffed pre-hospital critical care.
Improved precision by pooling survival + mortality outcomes, and some reassurance against publication bias.

JC: Do physician led prehospital teams improve outcomes?
This article explores the impact of physician-led interprofessional pre-hospital teams on survival and mortality outcomes for critically ill and injured patients. Drawing on a systematic review and meta-analysis, it examines the evidence, evaluates key benefits, and critically appraises the limitations. The discussion highlights the potential of this model to enhance pre-hospital emergency care while addressing challenges in implementation across diverse healthcare systems. Essential reading for professionals in emergency and pre-hospital medicine.
