This Saturday, I’ll be joined by @JenniferTsuiPhD and @CathyjBradley at #AACR2022 to talk about Medicaid data as a critically important data resource in cancer disparities research. Convention Ctr, Room 217-219 at 10:00. Looking forward to a great discussion! @caseccc

[American Journal of Preventive Medicine (AJPM) @AmJPrevMed]

Among data from >4 million patients in a study in our April issue, those with health-related #SocialNeeds had 4x as many negative health events & 9.3x the total annual costs.

Fantastic work from our very own @weichuandong presented at @ASPrevOnc! Check out his tweets below for more on this study!

[Weichuan Dong, PhD @weichuandong]

@ASPrevOnc 1/4 Ohio expanded Medicaid in 2014. Since then percent local stage cases increased & regional stage cases decreased, suggesting that more women were diagnosed earlier after Medicaid expansion.

I couldn't be happier to share our latest paper, published in @JournalGIM, authored with @PM_Alberti and @SKoroukian, looking at health-related social needs via ICD-10 Z-codes! A brief thread 🧵 #hrsn #sdoh #healthequity #healthpolicy #pophealth

Congratulations to @UrielKim7, @KoroukianLab, @StatlerA16 & Johnie Rose, MD, PhD for their article, "The effect of Medicaid expansion among adults from low‐income communities on stage at diagnosis in those with screening‐amenable cancers" making this @JournalCancer editor's list!

[Koroukian Lab @KoroukianLab]

Thank you @susannagreer for having our wonderful PI, @SKoroukian, on the #TheoryLab podcast to talk about our @ACS_Research @AmericanCancer funded work! We are thankful for the opportunity to continue investigating inequities in cancer care and outcomes. @caseccc @cwru @CWRUSOM

[ACS Research @ACS_Research]

Machine learning, big data, health equity, and metastatic colon cancer – all in one research project. Siran Koroukian of @cwru talked with @susannagreer on the #TheoryLab podcast about how she's using @flatironhealth datasets to improve patient outcomes.

Thanks for the shout out! Great work by @UrielKim7, @KoroukianLab, @StatlerA16, & Johnie Rose, MD, PhD! #cancerdisparities

[Koroukian Lab @KoroukianLab]

See @Wyatt_Bensken thread on our just-published paper about delays and disparities in diagnosis for people with #epilepsy! These findings challenge our methodological approaches, while uncovering yet another area of #disparity and #inequity.

[Wyatt Bensken, PhD @Wyatt_Bensken]

Something exciting has happened! My first grad school paper is officially published! We used #medicaid data to look at the pathway and time from first #seizure to #epilepsy diagnosis. A few tweets about what we found…

[Koroukian Lab @KoroukianLab]

Our new paper led Dr. Schiltz of @fpbnursing with Drs. Dolansky, Stange, Gravenstein, @dwarnersoc, @SKoroukian shows that activities of daily life and instrumental activities of daily life are the most important predictors of readmission for older adults. @JournalGIM

[JGIM Journal of General Internal Medicine @JournalGIM]

Using machine learning, researchers identify difficulties with instrumental activities of daily living as a key predictor of hospital readmission. IADL deficits are potentially modifiable with appropriate therapy. @fpbnursing @cwru https://t.co/eoZN6Pywd3

P.S. This account is largely student run!

[Koroukian Lab @KoroukianLab]

We are back with a mini-thread to introduce ourselves a bit more…

[Koroukian Lab @KoroukianLab]

So why are we on twitter? We are excited to learn from you and hope you’ll find our work interesting!

[Koroukian Lab @KoroukianLab]

Couldn’t agree more. Sometimes we get so lost in our data we forget the people and lives that matter. This is a great reminder for us to pause and reflect on that.

[Weichuan Dong, PhD @weichuandong]

I am recently engaged in studies of geospatial approaches to breast cancer outcomes. Besides sitting in front of a computer dealing with health data everyday, we should know that behind every record there was a life, a story, a misfortune happened to someone somewhere.

[Koroukian Lab @KoroukianLab]

We are honored to be one of these 18 teams! Working with our colleague Dr. Amy Zhang of @fpbnursing we will evaluate preventive behaviors, care experience, and health outcomes of underserved cancer patients during #COVID__19 @cwru @CWRUSOM @caseccc

@vanessapho @SKoroukian @Wyatt_Bensken @weichuandong @CWRUSOM We're big fans of you too - and so fortunate to call you a friend and collaborator!

[Koroukian Lab @KoroukianLab]

The Koroukian Lab, led by @SKoroukian @CWRUSOM, is officially on Twitter! We're excited to start using this platform to share our work, ideas, and passions with you, and hope you'll follow along. A few threads coming this week to learn more about us!
