Very nice data visualisation.

"The making of a statistician: Doug Altman" - just published in @bmj.com celebrating his 1 million citations and reflecting on his remarkable career and legacy. One of the most influential statisticians in modern medical research. --> www.bmj.com/content/391/... #BMJChristmas #methodologymatters

🚨NEW PAPER🚨 in #DiagnosticPrognosticResearch with my great colleagues from @oxprimarycare.bsky.social. One of my favorite kind of papers: A prognostic systematic review & meta-analysis of added value. #statssky link.springer.com/epdf/10.1186...

ooe.orf.at/stories/3332... Der Titel des Artikels ist völlig irreführend, und der Einleitungstext widerspricht ihm auch bereits. Wer sich "unwohl fühlt, unter Belastungen leidet", hat eben NICHT "keine Beschwerden". 1/n

10 years have passed… www.deutschlandfunk.de/toedliche-fl...

Could someone please explain to me the increasing nonsense of letters to the editor being published, citing totally unrelated full papers. I know it is to increase someone's impact factor, but does it really help journal A if they publish a letter citing an article from journal B? #AcademicSky

Only 5 days left! #statsky #academicsky

What is the most profitable industry in the world, this side of the law? Not oil, not IT, not pharma. It's *scientific publishing*. We call this the Drain of Scientific Publishing. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2511.04820 Background: doi.org/10.1162/qss_... Thread @markhanson.fediscience.org.ap.brid.gy 👇

Oops. Ooooooooooooops. I do hope that nobody has been given or denied a job/promotion based on their SpringerNature citation counts in the past 15 years. arxiv.org/pdf/2511.01675 h/t @nathlarigaldie.bsky.social

The Difficult Airway Society @dasairway.bsky.social has a special place in my heart. As a non-anaesthetists I was immensely honoured to speak at their conference a couple of yrs ago, & I am very happy to see one of our papers to be cited in their 2025 guidelines www.bjanaesthesia.org/article/S000...

🚨🚨Regular reminder: Applications open until end of Nov! 🚨🚨 (Previously I erroneously stated end of Oct. Sorry!) Interested in doing research on clinical pathways & diagnostic/prognostic models and living in the best city in the world? (👀 @wien.gv.at ) Apply now! #statsky #academicsky

Oh boy, it seems that 32 years after the foundation of #Cochrane, there is still a lot of awareness-raising to be done. #statsky

Another one of our papers made it into the new @ercresus.bsky.social #resuscitation guidelines #EMSky In 2020, researchers climbed Großglockner, Austria's highest mountain, for CPR: sjtrem.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.... Great collab between @meduniwien.ac.at, Bergrettung&Bundesheer 📸Max Niederer

PhD-position is fully funded for 3yrs, no teaching obligations. You will be part of the Clinical Pathways & Health Services Research group (clinpath.short.gy/about ) at the intersection of data-, methodological and clinical research, and will work at the world's most liveable city. Apply till 30/11.

Always nice to see your work cited in guidelines. The brand new AHA #resuscitation guidelines feature our study on quality of #CPR while wearing personal protection equipment. www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/... #EMsky 📸 by @meduniwien.ac.at

Only one week left! Looking forward to receiving your applications! #statsky #academicsky

🔔OPEN PhD-POSITION🔔 Interested in routine healthcare data to improve clinical pathways, or to build diagnostic/prognostic models to support rapid, well-informed decisions in EM? Background in stats, IT, or data science? Join us! #EMsky #statsky #academicsky oc10.meduniwien.ac.at/en/open-phd-...

A personal story on diagnostic test accuracy. You should read it. (the answer to the personal story is in the comments of the original post)

14 new shows a year about medical doctors. Zero shows ever about medical statisticians. WTF!?

#ThisWeek in 1991! On 2 October, Franz Viehböck became Austria's first astronaut. He was launched on Soyuz TM-13 to the Mir space station with colleagues Toktar Aubakirov and Alexander Volkov, returning on Soyuz TM-12 after just over a week in space. @aseastronauts.bsky.social @fwf-at.bsky.social

HEY friends: recently seen heaps of "disclosures" from AI companies of the energy cost per question you type into chatbots (most recently from Google)? Presenting per-query 'efficiency' is part of big tech's efforts to hide its extremely real and happening-right-now climate impacts! NEW POST -->>>

Nicht nur gibt es bei starker #Hitze mehr Herzinfarkte, wie d ORF korrekt berichtet (steiermark.orf.at/stories/3317...), dieser Effekt betrifft Männer und Frauen auch unterschiedlich, wie wir vor einigen Jahren in einer Analyse zeigen konnten: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #ClimateEmergency

I really dislike how science has started calling almost any fancy computational technique AI. 🧪 The framing of this entire article makes it sound like a benevolent AI independently made these drugs. That is *pure fantasy*. Instead: a team of scientists made a machine learning model for a study.

Was meine Kolleg:innen in 120 bewaffneten Konflikten weltweit leisten, ringt mir größten Respekt ab. Aktuell fühlen sich manche dazu berufen, die Arbeit von Hilfsorganisationen zu diskreditieren. Das ist schlecht, schlecht für uns Menschen. @roteskreuzat.bsky.social www.ots.at/presseaussen...

Zur Info: Es gibt ein paar Wege, diese KI-Übersicht auszublenden. Zum Beispiel, indem man „-noai“ beim Suchbegriff hinzufügt Das Kernproblem ist, dass die meisten eben das Standard-Setting inklusive KI-Übersicht nutzen werden - aber zumindest individuell kann man es vermeiden

Ok, Bluesky hive mind: can you recommend any Austrian TV shows or Austrian YouTubers who make German language content (in-dialect?) I need more practice at understanding the Austrian dialect - it's ok, but not so easy to understand 😅

I am still unsure whether in cases like this, it's more the reviewer's or the editor's fault. To the editors out there: Have you ever rejected/not used a reviewer's report AFTER retrieving it, realising their lack of qualification for the particular paper? #acadsky #peerreview

❗ Bei großer Hitze kann sich in den Rauchfängen eine Art Luftstoppel bilden, Abgase und das geruchlose Kohlenmonoxid können so nicht mehr abziehen. Deshalb ist es wichtig, die Therme regelmäßig zu warten und den Rauchfang überprüfen zu lassen. 👉 https://www.wien.gv.at/thema/hitze/kohlenmonoxid.html

Peer reviewer of a network(!) meta-analysis complains that only one of the included studies contains a direct comparison of all the treatments. Seriously, next time you might consider at least googling the concept. #statsky #reviewer2

Darum zwei Jahreszeitliche Peaks der #Kohlenmonoxid-Vergiftung. 1. Erste heiße Tage im Sommer (Wärmestoppel) und 2. Heizbeginn im Winter, wo schlecht gewartete Systeme in Betrieb genommen werden.

Very happy that our Clinical Pathways & Health Services Research Group is one of the participating labs.

What was the UK for Freud was the US for many of his colleagues. Today in Vienna I look outside the window of my office onto a statue of Freud, in a city that is actively seeking to welcome scholars who are not welcome any more in the US due to their views or ethnicity. What a time.

Recent example: Paper claims (even in the title) to use 'SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) analysis' to 'assess individual score contributions' on prediction. Does not cite a methods paper, but just another clinical paper that uses it. Said paper also does not cite methods paper... 1/n

Once you see it...

🚨 Proud to provide your Emergency Care 🚨 Today on #EmergencyMedicineDay, we honor all who save lives daily. ❤️ Just like the Department of Emergency Medicine of #MedUniVienna. 🆕 → Starting June 1, Austria introduces the specialty “Clinical Acute and Emergency Medicine”.

Very interesting work on the impact of what wie do in the ED on healthcare utilisation. Also, great methodology. Still, I now share some of the concerns about 'umbrella reviews' expressed by @matthewbjane.bsky.social : 1/n #EMSky
