what medical device FDA approval is this paper needed for? such an impressive collection of study centers, except there is no new knowledge in this paper. i am assuming this sub-JAMA journal had to approve it based on author politics, but i am very curious why you need this specific paper for AstraZeneca, restating decades of what is already known for all hospital (and non-hospital) patients for every disease? All the emerging NSCLC antibody therapies, the FDA will not approve for some reason without a NSCLC specific paper repeating the obvious?
