As we have more and more data to analyze using increasingly sophisticated methods including #MachineLearning it become critical to think about how the model/biomarker may be used. Just using AUC isn't the right way to evaluate any of our models.

Thank you so much to the Toffler Trust for their critical support. Research takes a village and they have been so helpful in building the collaboration between UCLA_Computational Medicine and UCLA Anesthesiology and helping me build my own career. Thank you!

So excited to open registration for the #STA21Meeting! WA great interactive program filled with lots of timely content including sessions on #Telemedicine led by Nirav Kamdar, MD and pediatrics led by Theodora Wingert MD and best of all no need to fly.

I always love reading Harvard Business Review for an educated perspective on management issues. Today there was a great piece on the need to put clinicians first in designing our technology hbr.org/2020/11/put-do…

An amazing piece by my colleague at UCLA Anesthesiology Dr. Grewe on what it was really like as an #anesthesiologist in NY last spring. For me at least, it is amongst my worst nightmares as a physician to be in that kind of situation. #WearAMask

Congratulations to my colleague Dr. Tward. I have had an opportunity to see some of his work and it is truly impressive!!

So excited to have gotten my COVID-19 vaccine! Thank you to everyone who made this happen from UCLA Health and UCLA Anesthesiology to the amazing scientists and regulators who developed and made sure it is safe. #Covid_19 #VaccinesWork

Happy to share our now published article on #ArtificialIntelligence #MachineLearning and Pediatric Urology. Free download till Feb 2021. Drs L Braga, J Pérez Mandy Armando J.

Such interesting work by my collaborator Christine Lee! It is critical that we have ways to understand what is driving ML Models that predict outcomes. This will allow us to target these drivers in future studies and ultimately improve outcomes.

I can't believe the #STA21meeting is on Friday!! Certainly going to be different this year, but I am excited for our great lineup of speakers and hearing about how doctors and industry used technology to address the changes of 2020.

Thank you so much to all of our amazing moderators, speakers and attendees! I really missed seeing everyone in person but I was so happy to interact with everyone virtually and look forward to seeing everyone next year in Las Vegas!!

Congratulations Theodora Wingert MD! I think this paper is a big contribution to the field

Such a great opportunity for anyone interesting in growing their clinical research career. Our new chair @CannessonMaxime is very supportive of research and highly collaborative. Feel free to DM me if you want to know more about the exciting work going on here!

I couldn't be more proud of my amazing critical care colleagues. The epitomize the word hero and have selflessly done so much for so many this past year. Thank you!!! UCLA Anesthesiology Vadim Gudzenko 🇺🇦🇺🇸 UCLA Health Los Angeles Times

The COVID R-rate (estimate of how many people get CVOID from each infected person) in LA is down to 0.55. This is the lowest it has ever been and is down from 0.76 as recently as 10 days ago (below 1 means cases will drop). This may be the best news I've seen in a year!!!!

Research takes a village. I want to thank everyone at UCLA Anesthesiology and especially Theodora Wingert MD, director of informatics research, for helping with this study. What we do in the OR matters far beyond after our patients leave, and EHR information overload is hiring our patients.
