Description
Amelia Bryan and co-authors pooled studies to test whether rapid response teams for lung blood clots improve patient outcomes, in work published in 2024. The catalog lists more authors than the head byline, so team framing is used. These teams bring several specialties together for high risk clot cases.
Thirteen studies with more than twelve thousand patients were compared across periods before and after teams were set up. Death rates did not differ significantly between periods. Hospital and intensive care stays were also unchanged. The authors say details of how strong teams run their service may explain why some centers report gains, and they call for study of those practices.
