Hi everyone,

I am a 2nd year medical student interested in conducting a retrospective cohort study to identify modifiable pre- and post-operative risk factors (patient-related and practice related) for adhesion formation in patients who undergo abdominal surgery.

I have an interest in general surgery and would love to collaborate with other students, residents, attending, faculty etc. interested in or practicing in this field. I am trying to find a collaborator with access to the ACS NSQIP database, so if you or someone you know work at a participating institution and would like to collaborate, lets get in touch!

I am also open to advice or recommendations for how to narrow the scope of this research idea to maximize clinical impact and/or feasibility of the analysis.

Thank you!
