Hydrocortisone for Severe Pneumonia (REMAP-CAP), Intensive BP Control in Diabetes (BPROAD), Aldosterone Synthase Inhibitors for Hypertension (ADVANCE-HTN), Reduced-dose Apixaban for Cancer Associated Thrombosis (API-CAT)

We thought steroids in pneumonia was a settled question, but REMAP-CAP had other plans!We also review a new RCT for BP targets in patients with hypertension and diabetes, a new aldosterone synthase inhibitor for hypertension, and reduced dose apixaban for cancer-associated thrombosis. Hydrocortisone for Severe CAP (REMAP-CAP)Predicting Benefit of Corticosteroids in PneumoniaIntensive BP Control in Patients with Diabetes (BPROAD)Lorundrostat for Uncontrolled Hypertension (ADVANCE-HTN)Reduced Dose Apixaban for Cancer Associated Thrombosis (API-CAT)Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/dope License code: NP8HLP5WKGKXFW2R
