A view into clinical practice guidelines: who uses them, who doesn’t and possibly, why by Mihaela C. Munteanu, Julie Choi Jordan

“…We found that guidelines may not be followed in cases where patients have comorbidities that are not described in the guidelines or when physicians do not incorporate new evidence and technology advances into their practice. In some specialties, physicians can develop a poor reputation if they do not adhere to the CPGs, and managed care agencies may deny reimbursement for care they provided. …”

Using Restricted Mean Time Lost to Evaluate the Prognostic Effects on Locally Advanced Breast Cancer Considering Competing Risks by Li Z, Liu D, Hou Y, Chen Z

“…Univariable and multivariable analyses were conducted to get SHR and RMTLd.Results: SHR can indicate the direction of prognostic factors, while RMTLd can quantify prognostic effects and provide time-scale interpretation. For instance, in adjuvant radiotherapy, the SHR showed a protective effect, which can be quantified as an average increase of 4.15 months in survival time.Discussion: In the presence of competing risks, the combined use of absolute measure RMTLd can more intuitively explain the prognostic effect, which is convenient for clinical practice and communication.Keywords: locally advanced breast cancer, competing risks, restricted mean time lost, sub-distribution hazard ratio…”
