Some pretty eye-opening data on the effect of AI coding. When Cursor added agentic coding in 2024, adopters produced 39% more code merges, with no sign of a decrease in quality (revert rates were the same, bugs dropped) and no sign that the scope of the work shrank. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Congrats @gallodemoraesmd.bsky.social !!!

Man I’m glad I wore sneakers to #CHEST2025 @accpchest.bsky.social ! Forgot how loooong McCormick place is. Excited to be here!!!

At the recent AI in Healthcare symposium at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, participants heard from NM experts who are shaping how AI is used responsibly in health care. I.AIM Director Abel Kho served as course director. @catgaohow.bsky.social ow.ly/kpQb50X4w4U #AIinHealthcare

1/ What started as a “hey, wouldn’t it be cool…” 💡 side project turned into a full study on how to identify immunocompromised patients. Gold standard = research coordinators manually labeling statuses ✅
Everything else tested against that.
🔗 academic.oup.com/jamia/advanc...

Some important findings in this paper: 1) Working with AI boosts the performance of people solving math, science & ethics questions 2) The biggest boost is for the hardest problems 3) High performers remain highest performing, but low performers gain more 4) People who are good with AI gain most

Awesome work from @vijeethg.bsky.social - LLMs for the win! Hopefully this is one step towards doing less chart review. #LLMs #GPT @iaim-nu.bsky.social @nufeinbergmed.bsky.social @nuintmed.bsky.social #HBMI #HSIP

#LLMs outperformed structured data algorithms and natural language processing in identifying various types of immunosuppression in ICU patients. Read more about our approach here: doi.org/10.1093/jami...; ft. @keyboardbiologist.bsky.social @catgaohow.bsky.social

During my own job search, I was struck by how wildly academic offers vary—from $0 startup 😬 to multi-million-dollar packages 💰. Inspired by online datasets (ex: www.reddit.com/r/AskAcademi...), we surveyed PCCM physicians about their offers 📊.

Join the Inaugural CCCF Datathon 2025! Participants will collaborate/compete in teams to tackle this year’s theme: “Overuse in the ICU” using MIMIC-IV! @atscommunity.bsky.social Saturday, November 29th (limited to 25 participants): forms.gle/mj42ErBdxmKr... Apply by 9/30!

Please join us on Wednesday, September 17th at Noon for our Next Medical Grand Rounds! We will be joined by... -Ankit Bharat, MD -Alexander Misharin, MD -Mrinalini Venkata Subramani, MD -Catherine Myers, MD -Ambalavanan Arunachalam, MD from @nufeinbergmed.bsky.social !

Check out this "AI Essentials" on creating pretty timelines with Claude. @catgaohow.bsky.social, Associate Director of the I.AIM Center for Collaborative AI in Healthcare, walks through the process, starting with ChatGPT and finishing with a polished Gantt chart in Claude. youtu.be/sF_0VTNwAs0?...

Join us and Dr. Calfee TOMORROW for our first grand rounds of AY25-26!

Claude's new ability to work with Excel is the best I have seen so far I have given it existing spreadsheets to work with and asked it to create new ones. Good use of formatting, formulas, etc. It created all of this, including 406 formulas, from one prompt (& it would be solid work from my MBAs).

1/ Something I don’t often look at in CAP patients, but might start to based on this paper: eosinopenia (eosinophils ≤50/μL), which has already been tied to poor outcomes in COPD & COVID-19.

🚀 Thinking about private practice? Join the Career Transitions Group on 9/8 at 4:30 PM EST for an interactive session! 📢 Facilitated by @pmdlc.bsky.social ! 🔗 site.thoracic.org/events/pros-... @ats-assemblies.bsky.social @atsearlycareer.bsky.social @atscommunity.bsky.social

Ever wonder about entering private practice after fellowship? We’ll discuss RVU targets, interviews, contracts, negotiations, and everything else you’ve wanted to know!

1/ 🫁 Recently bronched a patient with a gunked up ETT and wonder how often this happens? From #journal_CHESTCritCare: 369 ETTs cut and measured degree of blockage (see pic) 📊 Moderate blockage common (CICU 28%, MICU 17%)

Just how reliable are bedside sputum assessments anyway? 📄 Schuiteman et al in #journal_CHESTCritCare @accpchest.bsky.social www.chestcc.org/article/S294... 📍 10 ventilated pts, videos/photos shown to 383 ICU staff 📍 Gold standard = gram stain PMNs @hbgmd.bsky.social @chriscarrollmd.com #MedSky

ICU Practice: The conventional teaching is to perform spontaneous breathing trials (SBT) only once daily when we try to wean a patient from mechanical ventilation. The rationale is to prevent precipitating respiratory muscle fatigue. It has been shown that SBT failures are often

great thread on SBTs 💨 if someone “failed” for unclear reasons before your shift, repeat the SBT with direct observation 💨 look for treatable causes of SBT failure -but- 💨 for most patients, repeating multiple SBTs daily doesn’t help more: emcrit.org/ibcc/extubat... #EMIMCC

ICU Snapshots: You start your week of dayshifts and upon entering an intubated patient's room for the first time at 7:45 am, you see this 👇 on the ventilator screen:

Awesome work by @samfenske.bsky.social & Alec Peltekian in building machine learning models to predict successful next-day extubation! Tweetorial thread by Sam here!

🚨 The new @atsblueeditor.bsky.social CAP guidelines just dropped, featuring our very own Dr. Pickens! www.atsjournals.org/doi/epdf/10.... Highlights: Lung Ultrasound is now an acceptable alternative to CXR for diagnosis. 📍Evidence-based, bedside, radiation-free — a win for POCUS!

The American Thoracic Society (ATS) updated its recommendations on some aspects of the diagnosis and management of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP)

Thanks so much to @jama.com for publishing our @wfparker.bsky.social letter requesting code and acknowledgements of the public datasets MIMIC and eICU! And thanks to the authors for responding and sharing their repo!! Code sharing is key to scientific progress! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

💭 Remember when adult ECMO was so new we had no data to guide us? Times r changing! Just out in #journal_CHESTCritCare, Kazama et al outline a trial for AC targets in VA-ECMO: www.chestcc.org/article/S294... Not an ECMO guru? It’s still worth a 👀 to learn Win Ratios! @accpchest.bsky.social

Whooo congrats to all the winners @sccmcriticalcare.bsky.social with a #CLIFconsortium hat trick!!

Another great #sccm @sccmcriticalcare.bsky.social datathon!!

Coding fury at #SCCM datathon

CLIF advances ICU data harmonisation but lacks standard terminologies, flexible structure and automation. Aligning with OMOP, HL7-FHIR and INDICATE could improve interoperability, scalability and support broader adoption in critical care research. zurl.co/YpK0f

Excited to see our response up in @intenscaremed.bsky.social ! Always fun writing with @wfparker.bsky.social @nick-ingraham.bsky.social @chadhoc.bsky.social @gweissman.bsky.social and working with the entire #CLIFconsortium team! rdcu.be/ewoHU
