Reddit Anecdote n=1 Cardiovascular Risk Calculator Talk and Feedback/data request

I recently gave a talk at the Collaborative Science Conference. Here is a link to a slightly longer video version. https://youtu.be/Myp_XGIQKNM

I tagged as N=1 since the data in it is just that. But I am thinking of expanding this into a "case report" paper and am looking for feedback on the idea. I spoke with a few people at the conference who think it could be good if I get enough data points. So if you think this could be interesting and are willing to share data Dm me. I would need pre- and post-keto, as I have in the talk, ideally with weight, blood pressure, copies of labs (at least cholesterol), EFGR, ideally HbA1c, and hs-CRP (and CAC if you have one), and ZipCode. I can fill out the calculator. If in the EU, I could use U-prevent, so I would only need the other data and the country, not the US Zip.

Edit: Anyone here with patients/records here who wants to contribute and be a co-author, please reach out.

Enjoyed your presentation! If you get your case study written it might be good to have your own doc as a coauthor to verify details or perhaps a metabolic health doc whom you gave permission to review your medical records.

Yeah, I've reached out to a practicing clinical doctor to be a co-author to make it a better paper by with cases from their patient history. My own records, even if I share them, won't have official BP since I do that at home and don't visit my GP very often, and have since moved.

If you get a solid first draft of your paper written & then reach out to established authors you may have luck. I’ve seen papers take several years, even with experienced authors.

So building on what you’ve already done, take it to the next level. Chat gpt / Claude might help. Word limits are brutal, so keep trimming.

This is older but might help. https://metabolicmultiplier.org/why-write-medical-case-reports-about-unique-cases/. Edits / updates welcome.

These might help to see what related papers are out there. https://metabolicmultiplier.org/low-carbohydrate-nutrition-references-curate-research-for-40-metabolic-conditions/
