Published in Journal of Clinical Oncology! 🥳 There is widespread variation in the discontinuation of antibiotic prophylaxis post-mastectomy without immediate reconstruction but with indwelling drains 🤌 This nicely sets up our upcoming RCT on the topic, stay tuned! #BreastTwitter #BreastSurgery

In celebration of #EarthDay2023 🌍, here's a picture of me with my mentor presenting our abstract on #sustainability in #healthcare! 🌿 Healthcare professionals tend to only care about #data - lots of research is needed to change minds and policy for #greener #healthcare! 🏥🌍

Is Bigger always Better? Maybe not 🤭 Our paper in Annals of Surgery challenges the volume-outcome dogma 📈 Only 7-30% of IHM is due to hospital volume! Focus should shift to prehabilitation & exploring ❓unknown❓ sources of variation in IHM! 🏣 bitly.ws/DBJ6

Double armed multi-I RCT found no benefit to extended antibiotic prophylaxis in patients undergoing breast surgery (sans recon). Clear and well executed study!!! Aga Khan University ASBrS #ASBrS23

We presented 1 Landmark RCT, 1 Quasi-Experimental study, and 1 major Public Health intervention - all work at our alma mater Aga Khan University - at this year's ASBrS conference! 🥳💖 Of course we also had some fun 😝

Congratulations to Abida Sattar, MD, of Aga Khan University, Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan, recipient of the Scientific Impact Award. #ASBRS23

Congratulations! This is a huge achievement!

Missed out on signing up for PakSurg 1? Unable to gather enough responses in the data collection period for PakSurg 1? Well, no need to worry as PakSurg 1 has extended it’s Data collection period by 3 months (Last patient to be recruited: 30th June, 2023).

New in Annals of Surgery: ever wonder how much patient characteristics, hosp volume, hosp characteristics, etc contribute to hospital mortality variation? Russell Seth Martins, Chee-Chee Stucky, #DavidEtzioni, & #NabilWasif explores this in 80,969 pts. journals.lww.com/annalsofsurger…

Across 5🔪, pt characteristics contributed the most to in-hosp mortality variation, not hosp volume. ❗️: Unexplained sources resp for large variation% in select🔪. 🔦: Importance of preop optimization (prehab?) &✔️pt stratification to not disincentivize hosp treating these pts.

Fresh off the press! 🔥Collab b/w Aga Khan University's heavyweights in Depts. of Surgery, Psych, Onc, School of Nursing, & CHS x @UU_University explores how psychosocial characteristics influence the ✨Quality of Life✨of patients with 🧠 tumors in 🇵🇰 shorturl.at/esHOU
