The two articles critically appraised during today's #GeriMedJC were:

Long article (45 minutes is dedicated to discussion in the live version of the journal club):
Atypical Antipsychotic Drugs and the Risk for Acute Kidney Injury and Other Adverse Outcomes in Older Adults.  Ann Intern Med. 2014;161:242-248.

Short article (15 minutes is dedicated to discussion in the live version of the journal club):
The efficacy and tolerability of the b3-adrenoceptor agonist Mirabegron for the treatment of symptoms of overactive bladder in older patients. Age and Ageing 2014;43:666–675.

More than double the impressions and more than double the tweets compared to the first #GeriMedJC! This is what Symplur analytics had to say about today's tweet chat:
