🚩 Excited to announce that today marks my first day as faculty at the Department of HealthPolicy & Organization at UAB UAB School of Public Health today!

First data on COST-EFFECTIVENESS of SHOCK TEAM! Exciting findings presented by Konstantinos Sideris: favorable cost-effectiveness complementing the previously reported improvement of #CardiogenicShock outcomes with the TEAM approach! Joseph Taleb Christos P. Kyriakopoulos Erin S. Davis #AHA23

Proud for thus important work led by Michelle A. Hayek TAMU_SPHresearch UAB Health Policy and Organization

Study found little correlation between patients’ chief complaint in the ER and final diagnosis, demonstrating that strategies to minimize less medically urgent ED visits based on post-discharge diagnoses are questionable. ja.ma/48MP53z Brad Wright

New research in #PLOSONE from Theo Giannouchos, assist. prof. of health policy & organization, shows "that while two doses of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine were initially highly effective, vaccine effectiveness waned as time elapsed since the second dose." Read more: journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

Are Shock Teams worth the investment for cardiogenic shock? In our new analysis we studied their implementation costs ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI… Stavros George Drakos, Josef Stehlik, James Fang, Christos P. Kyriakopoulos, Konstantinos Sideris, Theo Giannouchos, Thomas Hanff, MD MSCE, Erin S. Davis, U of U Cardiovascular Medicine

Our new study in @HSR_HRET (led by Theo Giannouchos) finds that contrary to the idea that people are frequent ED users b/c they can't access care elsewhere, frequent ED users have higher rates of health care use across the board vs. non-frequent ED users. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/14…
