New @GlobalSpineJ: We developed the CGARP score, a novel frailty & nutrition-based risk model for spine surgery. It outperforms existing tools in predicting mortality, complications, LOS & discharge outcomes. Grateful for mentorship from @bowersbrainsurg and the @BowersNsgyLab

Check out our paper here: https://t.co/u6izq3w97H Thank you team! @SinaZoghiMD @MichaelCovell_ @nithingupta0210 @PhoenixBhavya

New @EurSpineJournal: RAI outperforms mFI-5 in predicting 30-day mortality after thoracolumbar fracture surgery, offering enhanced risk stratification for frail patients. Grateful for the support of @bowersbrainsurg @KishanSShah @nithingupta0210 @SinaZoghiMD

Revision TKA carries significant perioperative risk for healthy patients, while patient-specific factors can further increase risk. We found patients with history of metastasis undergo revision for unique indications and frailty may better assess risk. https://t.co/Pa1viq3rVa

Proud to continue supporting #REAMortho as they define frailty within orthopedics, utilizing the RAI (risk analysis index). These papers provide a critical foundation for future ortho frailty research so that RAI, and not mFI, is used. Great work team! #frailtyfighter

Incredibly grateful for the guidance and mentorship from @bowersbrainsurg and all the attending mentors who made this study possible. A huge step forward in introducing the RAI to orthopedic surgery.

Check out our latest study in @JAMANetworkOpen showing the utility of frailty in hip fracture patients! We show in 100k+ older adults with surgically treated hip fractures, the RAI outperforms the mFI-5 in predicting 30-day mortality (AUC 0.73 vs 0.61).

As we develop new techniques and management strategies, it’s important to take a step back and recognize where we are headed in terms of fracture epidemiology. In this @journorth article, we highlight recent national trends in fracture incidence https://t.co/y9b95Ict0X

The risk analysis index predicts 30-day periprosthetic fracture following primary total hip arthroplasty

Please join me for a practical, straight-to-the-point webinar on systematic reviews, meta-analysis types, and a quick intro to network meta-analysis on May 10th at 11:00 AM E.S.T Would love to have you there! @PascalJabbourMD @TJUHNeurosurg

Grateful and blessed to have matched into Internal Medicine at Corewell Health Grand Rapids MSU! Thank you to my whole support system, family and friends for helping make this happen. Looking forward to seeing what the next three years brings! 👨‍⚕️⚕️

Good luck to all the M4’s and a special shout to the future ortho surgeons #orthotwitter

NORMALIZE acknowledging #acknowledgements - just bc u help w/ an idea/support of a project, DOES NOT =AUTHORSHIP. The criteria is strict! We will be covering this in depth soon. Congratulations @ReamOrtho ! Only 3 months into 2025c, & a handful of #frailty pubs/acceptances.

Incredible work by @VictorKoltenyuk who has been instrumental in our push to introduce the RAI as a frailty metric for use in orthopedic surgery. Just the beginning of powerful collaboration and mentorship with @bowersbrainsurg @BowersNsgyLab

As I travel home from the AAOS Annual Meeting, I think about the meetings I saw, the medical students and residents that I met, and the networking that I did. It got me to think.... Networking is a two-way street. Building meaningful professional relationships isn’t about asking

Great work by @nithingupta0210 and our team. Orthopedic frailty is a very important yet understudied topic. Nithin has done a tremendous job leading this group!

🚨New @ReamOrtho publication lead by @nithingupta0210 and @bowersbrainsurg ! This crucial study is our first step towards implementing frailty tools in clinical practice to improve patient outcomes. https://t.co/cZ4wr39AaG

This has really been a phenomenal partnership with @ReamOrtho. Cross specialty collaborations can be incredibly productive. @MSOSOrtho @Ryortho1 @MedscapeOrtho @HurleyMedical @Inside_TheMatch @MINeuroSurgeons

Superb paper & another successful collaboration w/ @ReamOrtho. We have > dozen ortho frailty papers coming this year & this OFRS paper will end up being in the top 10% of ortho cited papers (relative citation ratio. RCR > 4). #frailtyfighters
