00:15
So I'm a doctor, but I kind of slipped sideways into research,
0
15402
3064
Liječnik sam, ali sam malo skrenuo s puta i zašao u polje istraživanja
00:18
and now I'm an epidemiologist.
1
18490
1698
tako da sam sada epidemiolog.
00:20
And nobody really knows what epidemiology is.
2
20212
2144
Nitko ne zna što je zapravo epidemiologija.
00:22
Epidemiology is the science of how we know in the real world
3
22380
3153
Epidemiologija je znanost o tome kako znamo
00:25
if something is good for you or bad for you.
4
25557
2110
je li nešto dobro ili loše za nas.
00:27
And it's best understood through example
5
27691
1960
Primjerom je to najbolje objasniti
00:29
as the science of those crazy, wacky newspaper headlines.
6
29675
4651
kao znanost iza onih ludih, šašavih novinskih natpisa.
00:34
And these are just some of the examples.
7
34350
2333
Ovo su samo neki od primjera.
00:36
These are from the Daily Mail.
8
36707
1450
Ovo su novinski natpisi iz Daily Maila - svaka država na svijetu ima novine poput ovih.
00:38
Every country in the world has a newspaper like this.
9
38181
2519
Imaju taj stalni bizarni filozofski projekt
00:40
It has this bizarre, ongoing philosophical project
10
40724
2350
dijeljenja svih neživih stvari
00:43
of dividing all the inanimate objects in the world
11
43098
2355
na one koje ili uzrokuju ili sprečavaju rak.
00:45
into the ones that either cause or prevent cancer.
12
45477
2353
00:47
Here are some of the things they said cause cancer:
13
47854
2508
Neke od stvari za koje tvrde da uzrokuju rak jesu:
razvod, Wi-Fi, toaletne potrepštine i kava.
00:50
divorce, Wi-Fi, toiletries and coffee.
14
50386
1981
Neke od stvari za koje kažu da sprečavaju rak:
00:52
Some things they say prevent cancer:
15
52391
1764
kora kruha, crvena paprika, slatkiši i kava.
00:54
crusts, red pepper, licorice and coffee.
16
54179
1922
Već primjećujete proturječnosti.
00:56
So you can see there are contradictions.
17
56125
1906
Kava i uzrokuje i sprečava rak.
00:58
Coffee both causes and prevents cancer.
18
58055
2000
Kad nastavite čitati dalje, počinjete shvaćati
01:00
As you start to read on, you can see
19
60079
1724
01:01
that maybe there's some political valence behind some of this.
20
61827
2939
da iza ovakvih primjera stoji nekakva politička pozadina.
01:04
For women, housework prevents breast cancer,
21
64790
2061
Kućanski poslovi sprečavaju rak dojke kod žena,
01:06
but for men, shopping could make you impotent.
22
66875
3045
dok shopping može dovesti do impotencije kod muškaraca.
01:09
(Laughter)
23
69944
1009
Vidimo kako moramo početi
01:10
So we know that we need to start unpicking the science behind this.
24
70977
4504
odvajati znanstvene činjenice od svega toga.
01:15
And what I hope to show is that unpicking the evidence behind dodgy claims
25
75505
5533
Nadam se da ću pokazati
kako odvajanje sumnjivih tvrdnji,
odvajanje dokaza iza takvih tvrdnji,
01:21
isn't a kind of nasty, carping activity;
26
81062
3720
nije mukotrpna aktivnost,
01:24
it's socially useful.
27
84806
1361
već je društveno korisno,
01:26
But it's also an extremely valuable explanatory tool,
28
86191
4558
ali i iznimno vrijedno
kao sredstvo objašnjavanja.
01:30
because real science is about critically appraising the evidence
29
90773
3035
Bit prave znanosti jest
kritičko procjenjivanje dokaza s drugog stajališta.
01:33
for somebody else's position.
30
93832
1393
Na taj način funkcioniraju znanstveni časopisi.
01:35
That's what happens in academic journals,
31
95249
1959
Tako funkcioniraju znanstvene konferencije.
01:37
it's what happens at academic conferences --
32
97232
2064
Vrijeme pitanja i odgovora, nakon što su podaci izloženi,
01:39
the Q&A session after a postdoc presents data is often a bloodbath.
33
99320
3309
postaje mjesto oštrih napada,
01:42
And nobody minds that; we actively welcome it.
34
102653
2158
što nikome ne smeta. Aktivno se podržava.
01:44
It's like a consenting intellectual S&M activity.
35
104835
3038
Nalikuje odobrenoj intelektualnoj sado mazo aktivnosti.
01:47
(Laughter)
36
107897
1155
Ono što ću vam pokazati
01:49
So what I'm going to show you is all of the main things,
37
109076
2994
jesu glavne stvari,
glavne karakteristike moje discipline --
01:52
all of the main features of my discipline, evidence-based medicine.
38
112094
3190
medicine koja se temelji na dokazima.
01:55
And I will talk you through all of these and demonstrate how they work,
39
115308
3883
Proći ću s vama kroz te karakteristike
i pokazati vam kako funkcioniraju,
01:59
exclusively using examples of people getting stuff wrong.
40
119215
3342
koristeći isključivo primjere u kojima su ljudi nešto krivo shvatili.
02:02
We'll start with the absolute weakest form of evidence known to man,
41
122581
3754
Počet ćemo s najslabijim mogućim oblikom dokaza poznatim čovjeku:
autoritetom.
02:06
and that is authority.
42
126359
1626
Nas u znanosti ne zanima koliko titula imate uz ime.
02:08
In science, we don't care how many letters you have after your name --
43
128009
3440
Zanimaju nas razlozi zbog kojih vjerujete u nešto.
02:11
we want to know what your reasons are for believing something.
44
131473
3012
Kako znate je li nešto dobro
02:14
How do you know that something is good for us or bad for us?
45
134509
2996
ili loše za nas?
02:17
But we're also unimpressed by authority because it's so easy to contrive.
46
137529
4181
Autoritet nas ne impresionira
jer ga je lako izmisliti.
02:21
This is somebody called Dr. Gillian McKeith, PhD,
47
141734
2382
Ovo je netko tko se zove Dr. Gillian McKeith, dr.sc.,
ili punom liječničkom titulom - Gillian McKeith.
02:24
or, to give her full medical title, Gillian McKeith.
48
144140
3169
(Smijeh)
02:27
(Laughter)
49
147333
2660
Svaka zemlja ima nekoga poput nje.
02:30
Again, every country has somebody like this.
50
150017
2156
Ona je naš televizijski prehrambeni guru.
02:32
She is our TV diet guru.
51
152197
1644
02:33
She has five series of prime-time television,
52
153865
2907
Ima nevjerojatnih 5 sezona televizijskog serijala u udarnom terminu
02:36
giving out very lavish and exotic health advice.
53
156796
2318
u kojem daje ekstravagantne i egzotične zdravstvene savjete.
02:39
She, it turns out, has a non-accredited correspondence course PhD
54
159138
3855
Ispostavilo se da ima doktorat s nepriznatog dopisnog tečaja
odnekud iz Amerike.
02:43
from somewhere in America.
55
163017
1280
02:44
She also boasts that she's a certified professional member
56
164321
2765
Hvali se, također, kako je i akreditirani stručni član
Američkog udruženja nutricionističkih savjetnika,
02:47
of the American Association of Nutritional Consultants,
57
167110
2592
što zvuči nadasve glamurozno i uzbudljivo.
02:49
which sounds very glamorous; you get a certificate.
58
169726
2399
Od njih dobijete potvrdu i sve.
02:52
This one belongs to my dead cat, Hettie. She was a horrible cat.
59
172149
3017
Ova pripada mojoj mrtvoj mački Hetti. Bila je to grozna mačka.
Samo otiđete na njihovu web stranicu, ispunite formular
02:55
You go to the website, fill out the form,
60
175190
1964
i uplatite 60 dolara, a oni vam pošalju potvrdu poštom.
02:57
give them $60, it arrives in the post.
61
177178
1821
No, to nije jedini razlog zbog kojeg ovu osobu smatramo idiotom.
02:59
That's not the only reason we think this person is an idiot.
62
179023
2833
Ona tvrdi stvari poput --
03:01
She also says things like eat lots of dark green leaves,
63
181880
2649
trebate jesti mnogo tamnozelenog lišća
03:04
they contain chlorophyll and really oxygenate your blood.
64
184553
2857
jer ono sadrži mnogo klorofila, što će dovesti mnogo kisika u vašu krv.
Svatko tko je imao biologiju u školi sjetit će se
03:07
And anybody who's done school biology remembers
65
187434
2199
da klorofil i kloroplasti
03:09
that chlorophyll and chloroplasts only make oxygen in sunlight,
66
189657
3212
stvaraju kisik samo na sunčevom svjetlu,
03:12
and it's quite dark in your bowels after you've eaten spinach.
67
192893
3130
a u našim je crijevima posve mračno nakon što se pojeli špinat.
Potrebna nam je prava znanost, sa stvarnim dokazima.
03:16
Next, we need proper science, proper evidence.
68
196047
2499
03:18
So: "Red wine can help prevent breast cancer."
69
198570
2442
„Crno vino pomaže u sprečavanju raka dojke“.
Ovo je naslov članka iz britanskog Daily Telegrapha.
03:21
This is a headline from The Daily Telegraph in the UK.
70
201036
2563
„Čaša crnog vina dnevno može pomoći u sprečavanju raka dojke“.
03:23
"A glass of red wine a day could help prevent breast cancer."
71
203623
2918
Otiđete i nađete taj članak, i otkrit ćete
03:26
So you find this paper, and find that it is a real piece of science.
72
206565
3236
kako se radi o pravom znanstvenom radu.
03:29
It's a description of the changes in the behavior of one enzyme
73
209825
2997
Radi se o opisu promjena kod jednog enzima
03:32
when you drip a chemical extracted from some red grape skin
74
212846
3169
kad nakapate kemijski ekstrakt iz kože crnog grožđa
na stanice raka,
03:36
onto some cancer cells
75
216039
1575
03:37
in a dish on a bench in a laboratory somewhere.
76
217638
3200
koje se nalaze u nekoj petrijevoj posudi na nekom stolu u nekom laboratoriju.
03:40
And that's a really useful thing to describe in a scientific paper.
77
220862
4092
Ovo je stvarno korisno opisana stvar
u znanstvenom časopisu,
03:44
But on the question of your own personal risk of getting breast cancer
78
224978
3358
ali po pitanju osobnog rizika
i dobivanju raka dojke, ukoliko pijete crno vino,
03:48
if you drink red wine,
79
228360
1151
kaže vam frišku figu.
03:49
it tells you absolutely bugger all.
80
229535
1681
Zapravo, čini se da se rizik od raka dojke
03:51
Actually, it turns out that your risk of breast cancer
81
231240
2537
neznatno povećava
03:53
increases slightly with every amount of alcohol you drink.
82
233801
2963
pri svakoj količini popijenog alkohola..
03:56
So what we want are studies in real human people.
83
236788
3848
Ono što zahtijevamo jesu studije na stvarnim ljudima.
04:00
And here's another example.
84
240660
1576
Evo još jednog primjera.
04:02
This is from Britain's "leading" diet nutritionist in the Daily Mirror,
85
242260
4161
Ovaj dolazi od glavnog britanskog prehrambenog i nutricionističkog savjetnika u Daily Mirroru,
drugim najprodavanijim britanskim novinama.
04:06
our second-biggest selling newspaper.
86
246445
1774
„Istraživanje provedeno u Australiji 2001. godine
04:08
"An Australian study in 2001 found that olive oil,
87
248243
2358
otkriva kako maslinovo ulje u kombinaciji s voćem, povrćem i mahunarkama
04:10
in combination with fruits, vegetables and pulses,
88
250625
2342
vidljvo štiti kožu od bora“.
04:12
offers measurable protection against skin wrinklings,"
89
252991
2548
Zatim slijedi savjet:
04:15
and give the advice:
90
255563
1151
„Ako jedete maslinovo ulje i povrće, imat ćete manje bora“.
04:16
"If you eat olive oil and vegetables, you'll have fewer wrinkles."
91
256738
3130
Još vam vrlo susretljivo kažu kako doći do tog istraživanja.
04:19
They helpfully tell you how to find the paper,
92
259892
2158
Kad pronađete to istraživanje, vidjet ćete kako se radi o opservacijskom istraživanju.
04:22
and what you find is an observational study.
93
262074
2087
Očito je da se nitko nije vratio
04:24
Obviously, nobody has been able to go back to 1930,
94
264185
2921
u 1930. godinu,
sakupio sve ljude rođene u jednom rodilištu,
04:27
get all the people born in one maternity unit,
95
267130
2493
04:29
and half of them eat lots of fruit and veg and olive oil,
96
269647
2696
polovici dao da jede puno voća i povrća i maslinovog ulja,
a drugoj polovici hranu iz McDonald'sa,
04:32
half of them eat McDonald's,
97
272367
1346
04:33
and then we see how many wrinkles you've got later.
98
273737
2403
a zatim kasnije ustanovio koliko bora imaju.
Ono što morate napraviti jest uzeti ljude u sadašnjem trenutku.
04:36
You have to take a snapshot of how people are now.
99
276164
2413
I otkrit ćete, naravno,
04:38
And what you find is, of course:
100
278601
1564
kako ljudi koji jedu povrće i maslinovo ulje imaju manje bora.
04:40
people who eat veg and olive oil have fewer wrinkles.
101
280189
2501
04:42
But that's because people who eat fruit and veg and olive oil are freaks --
102
282714
3741
No, to je zato što su ljudi koji jedu voće i povrće i maslinovo ulje
čudaci, oni nisu normalni, oni su poput vas;
04:46
they're not normal, they're like you; they come to events like this.
103
286479
3824
dolaze na događaje poput ovog.
04:50
(Laughter)
104
290327
1059
Radi se o dotjeranim i bogatim ljudima, s manje mogućnosti da rade posao na otvorenom,
04:51
They're posh, they're wealthy, less likely to have outdoor jobs,
105
291410
3019
ili fizički posao,
04:54
less likely to do manual labor,
106
294453
1516
04:55
they have better social support, are less likely to smoke;
107
295993
2740
imaju bolju društvenu podršku, manje su mogućnosti da puše --
već se sada radi o nizu fascinantnih, međusobno povezanih
04:58
for a host of fascinating, interlocking
108
298757
1874
društvenih, političkih i kulturalnih razloga
05:00
social, political and cultural reasons,
109
300655
1869
zbog kojih su manje vjerojatnosti da imaju bore.
05:02
they're less likely to have wrinkles.
110
302548
1772
Ne radi se, dakle, samo o povrću i maslinovom ulju.
05:04
That doesn't mean it's the vegetables or olive oil.
111
304344
2402
(Smijeh)
05:06
(Laughter)
112
306770
1246
Idealno, ono što želite napraviti jest ispitivanje.
05:08
So ideally, what you want to do is a trial.
113
308040
2493
05:10
People think they're familiar with the idea of a trial.
114
310557
2580
Svi misle da su dobro upoznati s pojmom ispitivanje.
Ispitivanja su vrlo stara. Prvo se dogodilo u Bibliji – Danijel 1:12.
05:13
Trials are old; the first one was in the Bible, Daniel 1:12.
115
313161
2816
Vrlo je jednostavno -- uzmete hrpu ljudi, podijelite ih u dvije jednake grupe,
05:16
It's straightforward: take a bunch of people, split them in half,
116
316001
3075
jednu grupu tretirate na jedan način, drugu na drugi način,
05:19
treat one group one way, the other group, the other way.
117
319100
2626
vratite im se nešto kasnije
05:21
A while later, you see what happened to each of them.
118
321750
2523
i vidite što se dogodilo sa svakom od njih.
Ispričat ću vam o jednom ispitivanju
05:24
I'm going to tell you about one trial,
119
324297
1834
koje je u posljednjem desteljeću vjerojatno medijski najpraćenije
05:26
which is probably the most well-reported trial
120
326155
2166
u Britaniji.
05:28
in the UK news media over the past decade.
121
328345
2005
Radi se o ispitivanju kapsula ribljeg ulja.
05:30
This is the trial of fish oil pills.
122
330374
1736
Tvrdilo se da kapsule ribljeg ulja poboljšavaju rezultate u školi i ponašanje
05:32
The claim: fish oil pills improve school performance and behavior
123
332134
3153
prosječne djece.
05:35
in mainstream children.
124
335311
1151
Rekli su, „Napravili smo ispitivanje.
05:36
They said, "We did a trial.
125
336486
1294
05:37
All the previous ones were positive, this one will be too."
126
337804
2772
Sva su prijašnja ispitivanja bila pozitivna, tako da znamo da će i ovo biti takvo“.
Takva bi izjava odmah trebala biti znak za uzbunu.
05:40
That should ring alarm bells:
127
340600
1382
Ako već znate ishod svog ispitivanja, onda ga ne biste trebali raditi.
05:42
if you know the answer to your trial, you shouldn't be doing one.
128
342006
3060
Ili ste ga unaprijed namjestili
05:45
Either you've rigged it by design,
129
345090
1628
05:46
or you've got enough data so there's no need to randomize people anymore.
130
346742
3437
ili imate dovoljno podataka pa nema potrebe za istraživanjem prema slučajnom odabiru.
Ispitivanje je bilo ovako organizirano.
05:50
So this is what they were going to do in their trial:
131
350203
2501
05:52
They were taking 3,000 children,
132
352728
2077
Uzeli su 3 000 djece
05:54
they were going to give them these huge fish oil pills, six of them a day,
133
354829
3654
i svima su davali velike kapsule ribljeg ulja,
šest na dan,
05:58
and then, a year later, measure their school exam performance
134
358507
3113
a zatim su, godinu dana kasnije, izmjerili njihove razultate na školskom ispitu
06:01
and compare their performance
135
361644
1774
i usporedili ih
06:03
against what they predicted their exam performance would have been
136
363442
3156
s onime što su pretpostavili da bi bili rezultati
da ta djeca nisu uzimala kapsule.
06:06
if they hadn't had the pills.
137
366622
2076
06:08
Now, can anybody spot a flaw in this design?
138
368722
2807
Primjećuje li netko rupu u tom ispitivanju?
06:11
(Laughter)
139
371553
1015
Profesori metodologije kliničkog ispitivanja
06:12
And no professors of clinical trial methodology
140
372592
2243
06:14
are allowed to answer this question.
141
374859
1726
ne smiju odgovoriti na ovo pitanje.
06:16
So there's no control group.
142
376609
2001
Nema kontrolne skupine; kontrolna skupina ne postoji.
06:18
But that sounds really techie, right? That's a technical term.
143
378634
3335
Ali to zvuči previše stručno.
To je stručnan termin.
06:21
The kids got the pills, and their performance improved.
144
381993
2633
Djeca su dobila kapsule i njihov se rezultat poboljšao.
06:24
What else could it possibly be if it wasn't the pills?
145
384650
2673
Što bi drugo uopće moglo biti objašnjenje ako nisu pilule?
Odrasla su. Svi se s vremenom razvijamo.
06:28
They got older; we all develop over time.
146
388128
2273
06:30
And of course, there's the placebo effect,
147
390425
2165
Naravno, postoji i placebo efekt.
06:32
one of the most fascinating things in the whole of medicine.
148
392614
2838
Placebo efekt jedna je od najfascinantnijih stvari u cijeloj medicini.
Ne radi se samo o uzimanju tablete, vašem poboljšanju i smanjenju boli.
06:35
It's not just taking a pill and performance or pain improving;
149
395476
2913
Radi se o našim vjerovanjima i očekivanjima.
06:38
it's about our beliefs and expectations, the cultural meaning of a treatment.
150
398413
3663
Radi se o kulturalnom značenju liječenja.
Ovo je dokazano na cijelom nizu fascinantnih istraživanja
06:42
And this has been demonstrated in a whole raft of fascinating studies
151
402100
3270
u kojima se jedna vrsta placebo efekta upoređivala s drugom.
06:45
comparing one kind of placebo against another.
152
405394
2217
06:47
So we know, for example,
153
407635
1158
Znamo, primjerice, da su dvije šećerne tablete na dan
06:48
that two sugar pills a day are a more effective treatment
154
408817
2713
učinkovitije u liječenju želučanih čireva
06:51
for gastric ulcers
155
411554
1219
od jedne šećerne tablete.
06:52
than one sugar pill.
156
412797
1240
Dvije su šećerne tablete bolje od jedne.
06:54
Two sugar pills a day beats one a day.
157
414061
1961
Ovo je nečuveno i apsurdno otkriće, ali je istinito.
06:56
That's an outrageous and ridiculous finding, but it's true.
158
416046
2775
06:58
We know from three different studies on three different types of pain
159
418845
3297
Iz triju različitih istraživanja o tri različite vrste boli znamo
da je injekcija slane vode učinkovitiji način liječenja boli
07:02
that a saltwater injection is a more effective treatment
160
422166
2645
od uzimanja šećerne tablete, uzimanja placebo tablete --
07:04
than a sugar pill, a dummy pill with no medicine in it,
161
424835
2605
07:07
not because the injection or pills do anything physically to the body,
162
427464
3344
ne zbog nekog fizičkog učinka injekcije ili tablete na tijelo,
07:10
but because an injection feels like a much more dramatic intervention.
163
430832
3356
već zbog toga što injekcija predstavlja dramatičniju intervenciju.
Znamo da se našim vjerovanjima i očekivanjima
07:14
So we know that our beliefs and expectations can be manipulated,
164
434212
3062
može manipulirati
07:17
which is why we do trials where we control against a placebo,
165
437298
4048
zbog čega se i provode istraživanja
u kojima se ispituje placebo efekt --
07:21
where one half of the people get the real treatment,
166
441370
2538
u kojima polovica ljudi dobiva pravi lijek,
07:23
and the other half get placebo.
167
443932
1677
a druga polovica placebo.
07:25
But that's not enough.
168
445633
1849
No to nije dovoljno.
07:28
What I've just shown you are examples
169
448496
1776
Pokazao sam vam primjere jednostavnih i laganih načina
07:30
of the very simple and straightforward ways
170
450296
2172
na koje novinari, trgovci dodacima prehrani
07:32
that journalists and food supplement pill peddlers and naturopaths
171
452492
3263
i naturopati
07:35
can distort evidence for their own purposes.
172
455779
2457
iskrivljuju dokaze sebi u korist.
07:38
What I find really fascinating
173
458260
2180
Ono što mene fascinira
07:40
is that the pharmaceutical industry uses exactly the same kinds
174
460464
3157
jest da farmaceutska industrija
koristi iste smicalice i načine,
07:43
of tricks and devices,
175
463645
1528
ali malo sofisticiranije oblike istih,
07:45
but slightly more sophisticated versions of them,
176
465197
2767
07:47
in order to distort the evidence they give to doctors and patients,
177
467988
3178
kako bi iskrivila dokaze koje podnosi doktorima i pacijentima,
a koje koristimo kako bismo donijeli vrlo važne odluke.
07:51
and which we use to make vitally important decisions.
178
471190
2562
07:53
So firstly, trials against placebo:
179
473776
2533
Prvo, ispitivanja protiv placebo efekta:
svi misle kako bi se istraživanje trebalo temeljiti
07:56
everybody thinks a trial should be a comparison
180
476333
2372
na usporedbi novog lijeka i placeba.
07:58
of your new drug against placebo.
181
478729
1595
U mnogim je slučajevima takav pristup pogrešan.
08:00
But in a lot of situations that's wrong;
182
480348
1920
Često već imamo vrlo dobar lijek koji je trenutno dostupan,
08:02
often, we already have a good treatment currently available.
183
482292
2898
pa ne želimo znati kako je vaš nov alternativan lijek
08:05
So we don't want to know that your alternative new treatment
184
485214
2833
bolje od ničega.
08:08
is better than nothing,
185
488071
1151
Želimo znati da je bolji od trenutno najboljeg dostupnog lijeka.
08:09
but that it's better than the best available treatment we have.
186
489246
2968
Ali neprestano vidimo kako ljudi rade ispitivanja
08:12
And yet, repeatedly, you consistently see people doing trials
187
492238
2873
uspoređujući ih s placebom.
08:15
still against placebo.
188
495135
1306
08:16
And you can get licensed to bring your drug to market
189
496465
2507
I možete dobiti dozvolu za plasiranje lijeka na tržište
08:18
with only data showing that it's better than nothing,
190
498996
2499
samo na temelju podataka koji pokazuju da je vaš lijek bolji od ničega,
što je meni kao liječniku beskorisno kad pokušavam donijeti odluku.
08:21
which is useless for a doctor like me trying to make a decision.
191
501519
3002
Nije ovo jedini način kako namjestiti podatke.
08:24
But that's not the only way you can rig your data.
192
504545
2365
Podatke možete namjestiti
08:26
You can also rig your data
193
506934
1248
tako da ono s čime uspoređujete svoj novi lijek
08:28
by making the thing you compare your new drug against
194
508206
2493
izgleda kao sranje.
08:30
really rubbish.
195
510723
1157
08:31
You can give the competing drug in too low a dose,
196
511904
2469
Konkurentni lijek možete davati u premalenim količinama,
pa ljudi ne dobivaju prikladno liječenje.
08:34
so people aren't properly treated.
197
514397
1633
Ili ga možete davati u prevelikim količinama,
08:36
You can give the competing drug in too high a dose,
198
516054
2397
tako da uzrokuje nuspojave.
08:38
so people get side effects.
199
518475
1296
08:39
And this is exactly what happened
200
519795
1680
Upravo se to dogodilo
08:41
with antipsychotic medication for schizophrenia.
201
521499
2465
s antipsihoticima za shizofreniju.
08:43
Twenty years ago, a new generation of antipsychotic drugs were brought in;
202
523988
3532
Prije 20 godina tržištu je predstavljena nova generacija antipsihotika
s obećanjem da uzrokuju manje nuspojava.
08:47
the promise was they would have fewer side effects.
203
527544
2557
Počela su se raditi ispitivanja, usporedbe novih lijekova
08:50
So people set about doing trials of the new drugs against the old drugs.
204
530125
3454
i starih,
08:53
But they gave the old drugs in ridiculously high doses:
205
533603
2685
ali stari su lijekovi bili davani u nevjerojatno visokim dozama --
20 miligrama haloperidola dnevno.
08:56
20 milligrams a day of haloperidol.
206
536312
1845
Unaprijed je određeno
08:58
And it's a foregone conclusion if you give a drug at that high a dose,
207
538181
3554
da ako ljudima dajete lijek u tako visokim dozama
09:01
it will have more side effects, and your new drug will look better.
208
541759
3280
imat će više nuspojava, a vaš će novi lijek izgledati bolje.
Prije 10 godina, povijest se ponovila
09:05
Ten years ago, history repeated itself,
209
545063
1988
sa, začuđujuće, risperidonom, prvim lijekom nove generacije antipsihotika
09:07
when risperidone, the first of the new-generation antipsychotic drugs,
210
547075
3325
čije je autorsko pravo isteklo pa se mogao kopirati.
09:10
came off copyright, so anybody could make copies.
211
550424
2342
09:12
Everybody wanted to show their drug was better than risperidone,
212
552790
3032
Svi su htjeli pokazati kako je njihov lijek bolji od risperidona
pa ste mogli pronaći hrpu istraživanja u kojima su se novi antipsihotici
09:15
so you see trials comparing new antipsychotic drugs
213
555846
2401
uspoređivali sa risperidonom u dozi od osam miligrama dnevno.
09:18
against risperidone at eight milligrams a day.
214
558271
2167
Ne radi se tu o nekoj ludoj ili ilegalnoj dozi,
09:20
Again, not an insane dose, not an illegal dose,
215
560462
2214
ali o dozi koja je na gornjoj granici normalne.
09:22
but very much at the high end of normal.
216
562700
1918
Tako da će vaš lijek zasigurno izgledati bolje.
09:24
So you're bound to make your new drug look better.
217
564642
2517
Nije začuđujuće, gledano sveukupno,
09:27
And so it's no surprise that overall,
218
567183
2597
09:29
industry-funded trials are four times more likely
219
569804
2769
da će istraživanja financirana od strane farmaceutske industrije
četiri puta vjerojatnije dati pozitivan rezultat
09:32
to give a positive result
220
572597
1329
09:33
than independently sponsored trials.
221
573950
2053
nego nezavisno financirana istraživanja.
09:36
But -- and it's a big but --
222
576989
2644
Ali -- i to je veliko ali --
09:39
(Laughter)
223
579657
2521
(Smijeh)
ispada da
09:42
it turns out,
224
582202
1281
09:43
when you look at the methods used by industry-funded trials,
225
583507
3641
kad usporedite metode korištene u istraživanjima farmaceutskih industrija,
da su ta istraživanja zapravo bolja
09:47
that they're actually better than independently sponsored trials.
226
587172
3686
od nezavisno financiranih ispitivanja.
09:50
And yet, they always manage to get the result that they want.
227
590882
2892
Ali svejedno uspiju dobiti rezultat koji žele.
09:53
So how does this work?
228
593798
1150
Kako to funkcionira?
09:54
(Laughter)
229
594972
1013
Kako možemo objasniti ovaj čudan fenomen?
09:56
How can we explain this strange phenomenon?
230
596009
2767
09:58
Well, it turns out that what happens
231
598800
1798
Ispada da se to događa
10:00
is the negative data goes missing in action;
232
600622
2233
zbog toga što negativni podaci nestanu;
10:02
it's withheld from doctors and patients.
233
602879
1937
podaci se uskrate doktorima i pacijentima.
10:04
And this is the most important aspect of the whole story.
234
604840
2698
Ovo je najvažniji dio cijele priče.
Nalazi se na vrhu piramide dokaza.
10:07
It's at the top of the pyramid of evidence.
235
607562
2034
Potrebni su nam svi podaci o određenom lijeku
10:09
We need to have all of the data on a particular treatment
236
609620
2686
kako bismo znali je li učinkovit ili nije.
10:12
to know whether or not it really is effective.
237
612330
2160
Postoje dva različita načina na koje možete primijetiti
10:14
There are two different ways you can spot whether some data has gone missing.
238
614514
3667
jesu li neki podaci nestali.
Možete koristiti statistiku ili priče.
10:18
You can use statistics or you can use stories.
239
618205
2199
10:20
I prefer statistics, so that's what I'll do first.
240
620428
2389
Osobno, više volim statistiku, pa ću se prvo pozabaviti njome.
10:22
This is a funnel plot.
241
622841
1322
Postoji nešto što se zove ljevkasti grafikon.
10:24
A funnel plot is a very clever way of spotting
242
624187
2191
On predstavlja pametan načim zamjećivanja
10:26
if small negative trials have disappeared, have gone missing in action.
243
626402
3365
jesu li maleni negativni pokusi nestali, je li ih pojela noć.
10:29
This is a graph of all of the trials done on a particular treatment.
244
629791
3478
Ovo je grafikon svih ispitivanja
učinjenih za određeni lijek.
10:33
As you go up towards the top of the graph,
245
633293
2255
Kako se primičete vrhu grafikona
10:35
what you see is each dot is a trial.
246
635572
1929
vidite da svaka točka predstavlja jedno ispitivanje.
10:37
As you go up, those are bigger trials, so they've got less error;
247
637525
3126
Kako idete prema vrhu, ispitivanja su sve veća pa imaju manje pogrešaka.
10:40
they're less likely to be randomly false positives or negatives.
248
640675
3146
Manja je vjerojatnost da će biti nasumični lažni pozitivi ili lažni negativi.
10:43
So they all cluster together.
249
643845
1392
Svi su zajedno skupljeni.
10:45
The big trials are closer to the true answer.
250
645261
2507
Veća su ispitivanja bliža točnom odgovoru.
10:47
Then as you go further down at the bottom,
251
647792
2016
Kako se spuštate prema dnu grafikona,
10:49
what you can see is, on this side, spurious false negatives,
252
649832
2919
ono što vidite na ovoj strani jesu patvoreni lažni negativi,
10:52
and over on this side, spurious false positives.
253
652775
2246
a na ovoj strani patvoreni lažni pozitivi.
Ako postoje sustavne greške objavljivanja,
10:55
If there is publication bias,
254
655045
2076
ako su mali negativni pokusi nestali,
10:57
if small negative trials have gone missing in action,
255
657145
2530
10:59
you can see it on one of these graphs.
256
659699
1815
možete to primijetiti na jednom od ovih grafikona.
11:01
So you see here that the small negative trials
257
661538
2151
Ovdje vidite kako su mali negativni pokusi,
11:03
that should be on the bottom left have disappeared.
258
663713
2453
koji su se trebali nalaziti dolje lijevo, nestali.
Ovo je grafikon koji pokazuje prisutnost sustavne pogreške objavljivanja
11:06
This is a graph demonstrating the presence of publication bias
259
666190
2935
u istraživanjima sustavnih progrešaka objavljivanja.
11:09
in studies of publication bias.
260
669149
1920
Mislim da je ovo najsmješniji epidemiološki vic
11:11
And I think that's the funniest epidemiology joke you will ever hear.
261
671093
3302
koji ćete ikad čuti.
11:14
(Laughter)
262
674419
1011
Ovako to dokazujete statistički,
11:15
That's how you can prove it statistically.
263
675454
2024
ali što je s pričama?
11:17
But what about stories?
264
677502
1151
11:18
Well, they're heinous, they really are.
265
678677
1915
One su gnusne, stvarno jesu.
11:20
This is a drug called reboxetine.
266
680616
1589
Ovo je lijek reboksetin.
11:22
This is a drug which I, myself, have prescribed to patients.
267
682229
2939
Ovaj sam lijek osobno prepisivao pacijentima.
Ja sam stvarno štreberski liječnik.
11:25
And I'm a very nerdy doctor.
268
685192
1336
11:26
I hope I go out of my way
269
686552
1312
Svim se silama trudim pročitati i razumjeti svu literaturu.
11:27
to try and read and understand all the literature.
270
687888
2359
Čitao sam ispitivanja o ovom lijeku. Sva su bila pozitivna. Sva su bila dobro provedena.
11:30
I read the trials on this.
271
690271
1308
11:31
They were all positive, all well-conducted.
272
691603
2267
Nisam našao zamjerku.
11:33
I found no flaw.
273
693894
1151
Nažalost, na kraju se ispostavilo
11:35
Unfortunately, it turned out, that many of these trials were withheld.
274
695069
3581
da su mnoga ispitivanja bila zatajena.
11:38
In fact, 76 percent of all of the trials that were done on this drug
275
698674
4545
Točnije, 76 posto
svih ispitivanja napravljenih na ovom lijeku
bilo je zatajeno liječnicima i pacijentima.
11:43
were withheld from doctors and patients.
276
703243
1951
Kad razmislite o tome,
11:45
Now if you think about it,
277
705218
1253
11:46
if I tossed a coin a hundred times,
278
706495
2297
ako bacim novčić stotinu puta
11:48
and I'm allowed to withhold from you the answers half the times,
279
708816
3536
i dozvoljeno mi je zatajiiti vam
rezultate polovice tih bacanja,
11:52
then I can convince you that I have a coin with two heads.
280
712376
4089
mogu vas uvjeriti
da imam novčić s dvije glave.
11:56
If we remove half of the data,
281
716489
1913
Ako polovicu podataka uklonimo
11:58
we can never know what the true effect size of these medicines is.
282
718426
3738
nikad ne možemo znati kakav točno učinak ima ovaj lijek.
Ovo nije jedina takva priča.
12:02
And this is not an isolated story.
283
722188
2071
Zatajeno je oko polovice svih rezultata ispitivanja o antidepresivima.
12:04
Around half of all of the trial data on antidepressants has been withheld,
284
724283
3794
ali tu priča ne staje.
12:08
but it goes way beyond that.
285
728101
1436
12:09
The Nordic Cochrane Group were trying to get ahold of the data on that
286
729561
3346
Grupa Nordic Cochrane pokušala je prikupiti podatke o tome,
u želji da ih ujedini.
12:12
to bring it all together.
287
732931
1195
Grupa Cochrane internacionalna je neprofitna udruga
12:14
The Cochrane Groups are an international nonprofit collaboration
288
734150
3019
koja objavljuje sustavne preglede svih podataka ikada prikazanih.
12:17
that produce systematic reviews
289
737193
1490
12:18
of all of the data that has ever been shown.
290
738707
2097
Potreban im je pristup svim podacima ispitivanja.
12:20
And they need to have access to all of the trial data.
291
740828
2534
No, tvrtke im uskraćuju podatke,
12:23
But the companies withheld that data from them.
292
743386
2443
12:25
So did the European Medicines Agency --
293
745853
2195
kao i Europska agencija za lijekove,
i to zadnje tri godine.
12:28
for three years.
294
748072
1586
12:29
This is a problem that is currently lacking a solution.
295
749682
3032
Problem je to kojem trenutno nedostaje rješenje.
12:32
And to show how big it goes, this is a drug called Tamiflu,
296
752738
2899
Da vam pokažem koliko daleko to ide: ovo je lijek Tamiflu,
12:35
which governments around the world
297
755661
1662
na koji su vlade diljem svijeta
12:37
have spent billions and billions of dollars on.
298
757347
2843
potrošile milijarde i milijarde dolara.
Potrošile su taj novac jer su se povodile za obećanjem
12:40
And they spend that money on the promise that this is a drug
299
760214
2867
kako će ovaj lijek smanjiti stopu komplikacija
12:43
which will reduce the rate of complications with flu.
300
763105
2972
vezanih uz gripu.
Već imamo podatke
12:46
We already have the data
301
766101
1151
12:47
showing it reduces the duration of your flu by a few hours.
302
767276
2794
koji pokazuju da smanjuje trajanje gripe za par sati.
No, to mene ne zanima. Vlade to ne zanima.
12:50
But I don't care about that, governments don't care.
303
770094
2454
Žao mi je ako imate gripu, znam da je to grozno,
12:52
I'm sorry if you have the flu, I know it's horrible,
304
772572
2454
ali ne ćemo potrošiti milijarde dolara
12:55
but we're not going to spend billions of dollars
305
775050
2244
kako bismo smanjili trajanje simptoma vaše gripe
12:57
trying to reduce the duration of your flu symptoms by half a day.
306
777318
3162
za pola dana.
13:00
We prescribe these drugs.
307
780504
1325
Prepisujemo ovakve lijekove, gomilamo rezerve za hitne slučajeve
13:01
We stockpile them for emergencies
308
781853
1803
pod uvjetom da će smanjiti broj komplikacija,
13:03
on the understanding they'll reduce the number of complications,
309
783680
3089
što znači sprečavanje upale pluća i smrti.
13:06
which means pneumonia and death.
310
786793
1534
Grupa Cochrane koja se bavi zaraznim bolestima, sa sjedištem u Italiji,
13:08
The infectious diseases Cochrane Group, which are based in Italy,
311
788351
3459
pokušava dobiti
13:11
has been trying to get the full data in a usable form
312
791834
3177
sve podatke od farmaceutskih tvrtki, u razumljivom obliku,
13:15
out of the drug companies,
313
795035
1268
kako bi mogla donijeti odluku
13:16
so they can make a full decision
314
796327
2091
13:18
about whether this drug is effective or not,
315
798442
2097
je li taj lijek djelotvoran ili nije.
13:20
and they've not been able to get that information.
316
800563
2966
Do sada nisu uspjeli dobiti te informacije.
13:23
This is undoubtedly the single biggest ethical problem
317
803553
5206
Ovo je, bez sumnje,
najveći etički problem
13:28
facing medicine today.
318
808783
1976
s kojim se suočava današnja medicina.
Ne možemo donositi odluke
13:31
We cannot make decisions in the absence of all of the information.
319
811204
5333
ako nemamo sve informacije.
13:37
So it's a little bit difficult from there
320
817789
2977
Teško je završiti
13:40
to spin in some kind of positive conclusion.
321
820790
3446
nekim pozitivnim zaključkom.
Ali rekao bih ovo:
13:45
But I would say this:
322
825196
1631
13:48
I think that sunlight
323
828931
2796
mislim da je sunčeva svjetlost
13:51
is the best disinfectant.
324
831751
1724
najbolji dezinficijens.
Sve se ovo događa nama pred nosom,
13:54
All of these things are happening in plain sight,
325
834077
2735
13:56
and they're all protected by a force field of tediousness.
326
836836
4331
a oni su svi zaštićeni
zaštitnim poljem sporosti.
14:01
And I think, with all of the problems in science,
327
841631
2407
Smatram, sa svim problemima u znanosti,
da najbolje što možemo napraviti
14:04
one of the best things that we can do
328
844062
1820
14:05
is to lift up the lid, finger around at the mechanics
329
845906
2803
jest podići pokolopac,
počeprkati po mehanici i zaviriti unutra.
14:08
and peer in.
330
848733
1279
Hvala vam najljepša.
14:10
Thank you very much.
331
850036
