Jumping ship and heading over to 🟦! Follow me bsky.app/profile/sarast…

Go Melissa!!!!!

#AAP2024 2nd year ped card fellow Dr. Elliott Moss presenting on #mitralannulardisjunction is associated with clinical outcomes in pediatric Loeys-Dietz syndrome @SantiagoPedsEP @ShaineMorris1 @TCHheartcenter @bcmhouston

Agreed!! @SaraStephens29 is awesome!

@spencbishop @ShaineMorris1 Thanks Ryan!!

@ShaineMorris1 @SaraStephens29 What a rockstar! Amazing work Sara!

Day 3: Free Food, Charging and Cooling Station at GF 6006 N FRWY until 8PM CST. And @Centerpoint_Energy : Enough is enough!

This was a 10-year long project with the @TexasDSHS to determine associations between newborn screening measurements and birth defects - we found many novel patterns that point to the overlap among several conditions - I think this shows the power of #PublicHealth

Thrilled to be elected as @SPER_News Student Trainee Rep! Excited to give back to an organization that has been so instrumental in my professional growth.

Excited for our publication on risk assessment and prediction in #CHD across the lifespan! @sasha_opo @NKasparian

Officially Dr Stephens! @UTHealthSPH

@MaramDrPH @UTHealthSPH Congrats Maram!!!!

MAD is common in pediatric #Marfan, detected reliably on #Echo or #CMR, related to disease severity. More to come on genotype-phenotype. 🙏 @judbacke and co-@TCHheartcenter @SaraStephens29 @ShaineMorris1 @C_Wilks @SantiagoPedsEP

Genotype matters! Brilliant presentation by Dr. @SaraStephens29 about risk stratification based on both individual mutations and phenotype within the vEDS population @TCHheartcenter @ShaineMorris1

Following negative Williams syndrome evaluation, genetic sequencing for probands with SVAS was diagnostic in 53%. Read more about how findings could aid pediatric clinicians. #AHAjournals @SaraStephens29 @ShaineMorris1 @TCHheartcenter ahajrnls.org/44BeKv1

2. The AVERAGE lifespan for each critical CHD (cCHD- the number of life years req treatment & care) = FORTY SIX years. The average lifetime combined indirect & direct medical cost was $2,091,163 per pt. This means over the lifetime: cCHD healthcare is 14X more expensive than CHF.

NEW DATA: 1. Critical #CHDs are lifelong dzs & carry a longer burden of care than common CV dzs- on average six of the cCHDs have ~ 14x higher lifetime burden of medical costs than congestive heart failure (CHF), w/ lifetime indirect costs ~23X more. additionalventures.org/wp-content/upl…

People often think the most important part of science is the statistical analysis. But they’re wrong. The most important part is understanding the data. Who collected it, when, where, why, how, and from whom? Who entered and cleaned it, when, where, why, how, and for whom?

@JasonSalemi Congratulations!

“I am pleased to inform you that you are being promoted to the rank of professor…” Well, that’s pretty darn cool...and a nice way to commemorate the upcoming 10-year anniversary since I earned my PhD. I really love what I get the opportunity to do each and every day. ❤️🤘

Rising ACHD all-star @DrRanXiao sharing critically important work about barriers in connecting patients with anxiety and depression to mental healthcare. Great discussion led by @FredWuMD about how we use this data to improve care! #acc24 @TCHheartcenter @TCH_adultCHD @DrPeterTX

Who’s at risk for readmission for pleural effusion after congenital heart surgery? Great work from @AlexKiener4 identifying high risk characteristics! #acc24 @DrKeilaLopez @SaraStephens29 @TCHheartcenter
