Douville will combine genetic information with available EHR data in an effort to better predict patient risk.
The study will focus on patients aged 70 and older, as 20-50% of older surgical patients experience delirium following major surgery.
Cardiac anesthesiologist Michael Mathis, M.D., and nephrologist/data scientist Karandeep Singh, M.D., MMSc, are co-principal investigators on the study, which leverages data science techniques to better understand the impact of anesthesia practices for cardiac surgical patients on acute kidney injury following surgery.
Funding for Chelsea Kaplan, Ph.D., Michael Mathis, M.D., and Phillip Vlisides, M.D., will support studies focused on pain in children, kidney injury after cardiac surgery, and the effects of caffeine on postoperative delirium.
Anesthesiology’s Chelsea Kaplan, Ph.D., and Psychology’s Adriene Beltz, Ph.D., are co-principal investigators on the study, which seeks to better understand when and how widespread pain in children develops.
