Research and Mentoring Program for the Surgical Care of Older Adults
About This Grant
ABSTRACT For this project, I plan to use my experience in surgical outcomes research in order to support and train surgeon scientists focused on the care of older adult surgical patients while leverage existing infrastructure and resources available at Weill Cornell Medicine-NewYork Presbyterian. With the help of experienced mentors and the strong team that I have built, our group will identify variations in care and outcomes in older adults undergoing surgery with a particular focus on adults with difficult social situations or from low socioeconomic backgrounds. We will combine Weill Cornell Medicine’s Architecture for Research Computing in Health (ARCH) databases and prospectively collected, geriatric specific measures, such as time to first goals of care conversation, time to first mobilization, and delirium incidence to identify variations in care practices and outcomes for older adults undergoing surgery. We will use qualitative methods to investigate patient anxiety around decisions for surgery and the role of caregivers and their burden. Our goal will be to contribute to improving the care for older adults undergoing surgery and establish a robust research and training infrastructure that will strengthen a resilient surgical workforce. Growing our already active high-quality patient-oriented research (POR) program in geriatric surgery, we will focus on optimizing perioperative care, surgical decision making, and on training surgeon scientists in the study of the older surgical patient. We will conduct new and innovative research in areas identified in the American College of Surgeons Optimal Resources for Geriatric Surgery, particularly in frailty assessment, preoperative optimization, quality of life in older adults, and surgical risk stratification, and post- surgical recovery. We will use data and experience from this K24 in order to position my team for additional R01 funding and my trainees for K grant funding mechanisms.
