Well done on your excellent paper @merrimanniamh.bsky.social @rosespenfold.bsky.social et al! (My next @bmj.com opinion about dementia includes hip fracture- the diagnosis with the biggest use of NHS beds. Just to give context about the huge importance of your delirium/ cognitive impairment study)

Why is Physio not offered routinely on the NHS postpartum?
- state funded in France and other European countries
-essential for recovery, return to activity and mental health

No. This study does not show that drinking champagne could reduce your risk of cardiac arrest.
It shows that many things can predict your chances of cardiac arrest. Unsurprisingly, this includes the amount of champagne you drink, which is doubtless a marker of wealth.
While most identified HFRs recommended delirium and/or cognitive assessment, there was considerable variation in methods of assessment and documentation.
Greater standardisation in data items and their collection could improve international comparability and patient care.
New research alert!
