Fat embolism - Paley statistics
« on: January 16, 2024, 12:07:36 AM »

In a recent interview (3 weeks ago) with cyborg4life, Paley said that in the year 2023 that he “hasn’t had a single fat embolism that year” (after some changes to his protocol). However, the CLL guidebook pdf emailed to me by Paley’s staff writes that their “incidence of symptomatic fat embolism requiring treatment is 5%”.

What is the truth of the matter?

To add to this, they frequently mention the rate of “some form of fat embolism” (allegedly usually not noticeable) is “around 4%”. So I’m just getting a load of different numbers

The conclusion of 4% or 5% is based on Paley's decades-long practice, but in 2023 he adopted new technology and protocols that reduced the occurrence probability of fat embolism to nearly zero.

Interesting. Can you elaborate more on what was changed in the protocols ? (If you know, by any chance) ?

And has that claim been verified by a third party/is the data publicly available, or do we just have to take Paley's word on it?
