Does anyone here understand the actual study?

It doesn’t sound like a revolution just yet…

Of course it is not a revolution. In modern medicine, there are hardly ever revolutions, more so incremental progress.

Reduce 50% of all hospital deaths even moderately and I'd say you should get a Nobel prize.
