To provide clinically actionable information to benchmark and guide the care of patients with myocardial injury in sepsis. We will use existing longitudinal electronic health record data from two large integrated healthcare systems in the United States to efficiently determine the patterns of testing and treatment and the factors that predict the patients most likely to respond to treatments for pathways involving coronary artery disease. We will also assess the effectiveness of commonly used blood thinners for myocardial injury in sepsis. Results from our proposal will inform current diagnostic and therapeutic strategies and guide the design and conduct of future randomized trials investigating optimal clinical pathways for patients.
Tasks for research students include: literature searches, ICD code searches, attending research meetings, and writing drafts of manuscripts.
