We are pleased to bring you our annual list of the most important studies covered by NEJM Journal Watch Emergency Medicine in the past year. We think these stories are worth another read, and in many cases, navigating back to the original study is valuable. This year brought us new insight on post–cardiac arrest cooling, treatment of sepsis, and management of appendicitis, among other topics. As always, our editors aim to provide you with timely and clinically relevant information to help you give your patients the best care.
Happy reading, and best wishes for a happy and productive 2015.
