In this week's podcast, topics include listener feedback, oral anticoagulation in patients with intracranial hemorrhage, the difference between statistical and clinical significance, and the correlation between statins and diabetes. The hosts also discuss intravascular imaging in cardiology procedures, the use of anticoagulation in intracranial hemorrhage, and the measurement of 10-year risk scores in cardiovascular disease prevention. They also explore a study challenging the commonly used P-value threshold for significance in medical research.
