Confounding Factors or Claptrap?

Wednesday, April 24, 2024 8:01

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Another one from over at Tim Worstall’s place, worth commenting on:

The death rate for female patients was 8.15 per cent when treated by female physicians compared to 8.38 per cent when the physician was male.

It means that in every 1,000 patients treated, an extra two would be expected to survive if they were treated by a woman.

Ohh, a study*. And surprisingly enough for 2004, it’s a study that says something bad about men

(*Paywall)

A study in February found there is still “considerable gender inequality” in surgical fields in England and Wales and that “surgery is still a specialty that struggles to recruit women”.

You know what is another speciality that struggles to recruit women? ~~Binmen~~ Refuse Collection. Funny how the studiers of these studies, only ever moan for women in the nice, high paying jobs where they don’t get shit all over them from dawn till dusk

Anhoo, Tims take on this?

Quite so, there are distinct gender inequalities across fields of medicine. Maybe the birds are more likely to be treating the easier stuff?

Could be. Confounding factors usually do play a large role in junk science

You know what I think though? The only factors in play here are, “We need to do a study, so give us some money. Our study will find that men are bad, so give us more money”

Just wait. Next to come will be the study that tells us less black patients die when treated by black physicians, or less trans patients die when treated by surgeons in frocks

I grew up in a time when segregation of society was frowned upon. Look how far we’ve progressed
