There are several limitations. As a VA study, the patient population differs from the general population in demographics, comorbidities, healthcare-use patterns. BUT we used data from 138 hospitals w/ varying complexity levels, different geographical regions in the US + over 15 y

Lastly, this is a descriptive piece and we do not make any causal claims but we do try to discuss potential explanations for the observed trends in the paper.

As COVID-19 cases rise again, our work on contribution of hospital settings to transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in England in early 2020 is published doi.org/10.1186/s12879-022-0… We used national datasets + simulations to estimate total number of symptomatic hospital-acquired infections.

#Handwashing is an evergreen public health intervention, but how does risk of infection vary with hand hygiene frequency? Work addressing this now out in @RSocPublishing @Epidemio_Infect from @thimui_pham, Mo Yin @cherrylimxq et al royalsocietypublishing.org/d… cambridge.org/core/journals/…
Ppl are on twitter for many reasons. I'm here to chew bubblegum & teach scientific inference. And I'm all out of gum. Engage yourself with 20+ hours of free lectures on causal inference and Bayesian data analysis. This isn't an ordinary statistics course. github.com/rmcelreath/stat_r…

Last Wednesday, I defended my thesis! dx.doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.1… This marks the end of almost 5y I spent in Utrecht. I can't properly put in words how grateful I am - for the opportunities to learn, wonderful people I met & lovely time I had in NL! @UMCUtrecht @juliuscenter 1/12
Today ⁦@thimui_pham⁩ defends her PhD thesis. Impressive work, 430 pages on modelling #amr & #sarscov-2. She lived in Vietnam, Germany, UK and Nl, and will now join ⁦@mlipsitch⁩ ⁦@CCDD_HSPH⁩
