Hey #PrimaryPrevention lovers, is it correct to state that

- Hyperuricemia is associated with cardiovascular risk but
-we don’t habe any good RCTs proving that an intervention actually works?

Isn’t this a low hanging fruit for a study?

Hope you’re going to spoutible.
You’ll find me there, soon to be writing about psychology and #PrimaryPrevention of #eviction.
Eviction prevention via hoping for a probono attorney leaves many lives destroyed.
Primary prevention like covid vax versus intubation

.@drjanetownson Agree. We need to remember that is a health AND social care system. In order to support the #NHS we need to focus on the wider system. Pressure on the NHS (ambulance times, A&E attendance and flow/discharge) are symptoms of whole system problems, not the cause.

Diagnostics essential but it's also about ongoing treatment/care management and then discharge from acute care. Close the loop to prevent readmissions. #PublicHealth #PrimaryPrevention #SecondaryPrevention #SocialCare
