Welcome back Rounds Table Listeners! Today we're introducing a new format—the first episode in our Trial Files series, where we provide an overview of a recent Trial Files issue. This week, Dr. Mike Fralick discusses three trials included in a recent throwback issue: opioids versus non-opioids for chronic pain; IV albumin for renal impairment and mortality; and omeprazole before endoscopy in patients with GI bleed. Three trials, 9 minutes, here we go!
