Some good maternity news: our study found that mums and premature babies now have more equitable access to a treatment that reduces the risk of cerebral palsy, following the PReCePT national care improvement programme. bmjopenquality.bmj.com/content/15/3...

We found big gaps in use of 2 effective, cheap, simple #antenatal treatments to protect #preterm babies. In theory they should be accessible to all mothers, in all resource settings. About 3/4 eligible mothers get them in richer countries, but only about 1/2 in poorer countries bit.ly/40sNIon

Lovely work from the #PReCePT programme on how perinatal prevention work saves money as well as benefitting patients @karenluyt.bsky.social @frankdv.bsky.social @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social

Spoiler... the surprising effect is that they might improve road safety

This 👇🏼 is a very nice, balanced, and comprehensive discussion of the evidence and its interpretation. ...of course, from a #publichealth perspective, this is entirely unhelpful: "The impact “depends on the individual themselves and their history and their physiology, the content and the context”."

Reducing Serious Injuries on European Roads (PIN Flash 48)

Every day, all over Europe, people fall off bikes or trip on pavements and injure themselves. While these incidents do not usually end in tragedy, the short-term effects can be extremely burdensome.

Great idea to encourage more active travel. As our research suggests, the more people using active travel = the safer it is for everyone: injuryprevention.bmj.com/content/earl... @frankdv.bsky.social @arc-west.bsky.social @eddcarlton.bsky.social

Great to hear from Local Transport Minister @simonlightwood.org.uk “We’re looking to blend healthy, greener transport choices that give people greater choice over how they travel. That’s why it’s great to see this research showing areas with our e-scooter trials are now a safer place for cyclists.”

"These findings support the ‘safety in numbers’ hypothesis. This argues that the more people use ‘micromobility’ forms of transport such as bicycles and e-scooters the safer they become, possibly because car drivers take more care." arc-w.nihr.ac.uk/news/electri...

Interesting - and possibly surprising - findings from this natural experiment. Best evidence so far supporting the 'safety in numbers' hypothesis!
