Earn CME for reviewing a journal article and evidentiary table that analyzes the methodology and findings of a study examining the association of tramadol with all-cause mortality among patients with osteoarthritis.
The paper, Association of Tramadol With All-Cause Mortality Among Patients With Osteoarthritis by Zeng, C. et al., was critically reviewed by SIS Research Division members Drs. Jeremy Beckworth and Pedro M. Gonçalves Pereira, MD, PhD.On a quarterly basis, Research Division members identify and review three high impact papers that are of most interest to interventional spine care, summarizing and critically appraising the studies, and posting the summary, critique and reference information. This online activity will provide learners with the opportunity to obtain Journal-based CME credit for reading one of these articles, reviewing the associated evidentiary table, and completing a short assessment via SpineNet.
You will be awarded CME credit after reading the article, reviewing the evidentiary table, and completing the post-test.
