Abstract

Issue 4 of the Acute Medicine Journal (AMJ) reports an interesting exchange between the authors of a service evaluation investigating the prevalence of subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) in patients undergoing a lumbar puncture (LP), and readership colleagues evaluating its merit, in light of the current evidence base and clinical recommendations. This discourse highlights the two phases of scientific peer review, which operates as the quality control mechanism for academic publishing.
