At the risk of being given a stern lecture that I don’t know what a clinical trial, regulatory pathway or statistical analysis is, I thought I might share these lists I have compiled of publications and abstracts reporting on the clinical use of BTM. I promise I haven’t gone cherry picking – if I found it, I included it!
While many of these titles have been reported at different times on the media thread, I thought it was worthwhile to bring them together in one place on their own thread. This is not only for the purpose of easier reference but also to highlight how there is a growing body of clinical evidence, coming from different clinicians, based in different hospitals in different geographies, supporting the use of BTM in diverse applications in hundreds of patients.
No particular order has been used. Reference details have been provided where possible. Unfortunately, I couldn’t provide links for some of the abstracts, but in most cases, the presenter name at least is provided.
Happy reading!
