@APJavidan A collaborative effort!

[UHN Research @UHN_Research]

Researchers @UHN's @TGHRI_UHN harness the power of #AI to pinpoint safe and risky zones for stent deployment in abdominal aneurysm surgery.

Excited to share our paper recently published in @avsgjournal where we developed an AI/computer vision model for intraoperative guidance during endovascular aneurysm repairs:

Glad to be a part of this work and the takeaway point is summarized quite well: Youtube holds utility for patients but requires improvement in educational quality.

[Arshia Javidan @APJavidan]

Our analysis of @Youtube as a tool for patient education for surgery was recently published in @AnnalsofSurgery

Bottom line: Videos are in demand by patients but most are lacking in educational quality.

We found a median of 7 pts was needed to reverse the findings of negative vascular surgery RCTs

Read our (@APJavidan, @EvaaLiu_ , @derrickytam, AA, FN, & @TL_Forbes) paper and this tweetorial on this topic.

In the interim, the FI/RFI helps bridge the current concerns surrounding the limitations of hypothesis testing and overreliance on p-values. This article in JAMA surgery illustrates its use perfectly.
