TELL A STORY
WHAT’S DIFFERENT
ABOUT SCIENTIFIC
PRESENTATIONS?
Introduction, Objectives, Methods, Results, Conclusions
THE STRUCTURE IS OFTEN ALREADY SET
SPECIFIC
CONSIDERATIONS
Because the subject is ‘dry’ & the format is rigid
IT IS OFTEN HARD TO TELL A STORY
It can be challenging to be engaging while still
presenting data in sufficient detail for critical appraisal
IT IS HARD TO PRESENT DATA NICELY
CONSIDERATIONS AROUND
P1: THE MESSAGE
Still tell a story
Still start with
the bottom line
Still connect with
the audience
Still keep it
simple
CONSIDERATIONS AROUND
P2: THE MEDIA
Colours
Theme Fonts
PRESENTING DATA
Identify the key messages
Cut out everything unnecessary
Be creative to make data accessible & appealing
EXAMPLES
What does the NIHR fund?
Research
infrastructure
Research
programmes &
projects
Research training
& fellowships
What is an
NIHR Incubator?
"Networking structures to support
capacity building and
multidisciplinary career
development in priority areas
where critical mass is low"

When to
suspect
HOCM
ECG changes
Short PR interval
Heart block
Left ventricular hypertrophy
Precordial T wave inversion
Extreme axis
Normal in 6% of cases
Symptoms
Chest pain, often exertional,
after alcohol or after meals
Heart failure
Unexplained syncope

WE CAN RAPIDLY
RAPIDLY RULE OUT MI
RULE OUT MI
With ONE TEST on
arrival...
Using cutoffs around
the limit of detection
With TWO TESTS 1-3
hours apart...
Using a validated
algorithm
WITH LABORATORY HIGH-
SENSITIVTY TROPONIN ASSAYS
ALSO with ONE test
on arrival...
Using decision aids
like HEART, T-MACS,
EDACS

Individual RCT
N=629, all with normal ECGs
Control: Standard care (local pathway)
Intervention: Rule out if hs-cTn (various) below
limit of detection
LoDED
TRIAL
Primary outcome:
Discharge within 4 hours with
no MACE at 30 days
No significant difference
between groups
46% vs 37% discharged
Adjusted odds ratio 1.58
(95% CI 0.84 to 2.98).

Abbreviations: RCT, randomized controlled trial
MACE, major adverse cardiac events
(death, acute myocardial infarction or urgent coronary revascularization)

VERSUS
Factors associated with first-pass success:
(After propensity score matching)
Video vs direct laryngoscopy
19,071 intubations in the National
Emergency Airway Registry (US)
88% with at least one difficult airway characteristic
Video laryngoscopy
OR 2.2 (95% CI 1.6 - 2.9)
Impression of difficult airway
OR 0.7 (95% CI 0.5 - 0.99)
Blood/vomit in airway
OR 0.5 (95% CI 0.4 - 0.8)
External laryngeal manipulation
OR 0.4 (95% CI 0.3 - 0.5)

Baselinecharacteristics
817 patients; 121 (14.8%) had type 1 or type 2 AMI
Mean age 63.9 years (SD 15.1)
Methods
Prospective diagnostic test accuracy study
12 hospitals and four ambulance NHS trusts
We included patients with suspected cardiac chest pain presenting within 12
hours of symptom onset
We excluded patients with STEMI and those without capacity to provide written
informed consent
Verbal consent was taken initially, followed by written consent in hospital
Blood was drawn from IV cannulae in the ambulance and taken to hospital to be
tested for troponin with the Roche cobas h232 point of care testing device within
4 hours
Paramedics prospectively collected data for the T-MACS and HEART scores
Leftover plasma was centrifuged and frozen at -80 degrees Celsius pending
future analysis
CONSENT Consultation with NARSG*
Consultation with a patient group
Verbal consent
in the ambulance
Written consent
in the hospital
*: NARSG: National Ambulance Research Steering Group
SAMPLES
Paramedics drew blood from IV cannulae
Point of care tests were run in hospital
(Roche Cobas h232)
Remaining plasma frozen for batch testing at
a later date
INDEXTEST
Roche Cobas h232 cardiac
troponin, with and without
T-MACS and the HEART
score
Let’s say we have to summarise the
results of four RCTs of DOACs vs warfarin
for VTE in one slide
Edoxaban
Dabigatran
DOACS for treatment of vte
