Grateful to be part of this collaboration with such an awesome team. Thanks to @EMARIANOMD for leading this and to @AJMilamMDPhD for the guidance.
Excited to see this out. Hope it is useful for those working to advance health equity in perioperative care.

Honored to be part of this team with Juliet Rowe, Dr. U. Umeh,@EMARIANOMD , and Dr. J Liu. New paper in Anesthesia & Analgesia on study design and statistical methods for health equity research in perioperative care:

Exactly the issues in applying AI to perioperative opioid risk. Weāre getting better at predicting outcomes, but within data structures built on legacy definitions of pain, exposure, and recovery.Real opportunities are in redefining problem space, not just better models.

I think this is one of the most important articles we've published at @AsimovPress. If you read carefully, there are at least 3-4 ideas in here that *should* be large, well-funded research programs.
The article begins by arguing that existing AI models are good at predicting
We @UWAnesthPainMed @UWMedicine are proud to have Dr. Bill Weeks @MSFTResearch on host program for @AUA_Anesthesia. A leading physician-economist, he will share experiences from @Microsoft #AIforGood & discuss how #ArtificialInteligence can improve #health #outcomes. #anesthesia
Congrats to Dr. Jim Wong, @TobiHunterDNP @sgmemtsoudis @emarianomd and colleagues on this important paper in Veterans with OSA undergoing arthroplasty.
PAP adherence tracked with lower preop opioid prescribing,while early postop use reflected baseline risk factors.

Our newest paper is out in @Anaes_Reports! Association between pre-operative adherence to positive airway pressure therapy and postoperative opioid use after lower limb arthroplasty in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea

Looking forward to speaking at Dallas VA Anesthesiology Grand Rounds next week, with colleagues across OR and pain services and academic partners @UTSWMedCenter. Iāll be discussing how large language models can support perioperative care. @EMARIANOMD @stanfordanes #AIinMedicine
