#GeriMedJC: February 27, 2015

The article critically appraised during #GeriMedJC on February 27th was:

Keall MD, Pierse N, Howden-Chapman P, Cunningham C, Cunningham M, Guria J, Baker MG. Home modifications to reduce injuries from falls in the Home Injury Prevention Intervention (HIPI) study: a cluster-randomised controlled trial. The Lancet, Volume 385, Issue 9964, 17–23 January 2015, Pages 231-238

The live version of #GeriMedJC also featured a short 10 minute primer on propensity-matching given by Dr. Joanne Ho.  She is a geriatrician and clinical pharmacologist. Follower her on Twitter @geridrugho. Moving forward, the new format for #GeriMedJC may only include one article rather than two.

This is what Symplur analytics had to say about the February tweet chat:
