Project details:
  • Title: Financial costs of cancer survivorship among patients with anal cancer and underlying perianal Crohn’s disease
  • Principal Investigator: Seth A Rosen, MD
  • Department: Department of Colorectal Surgery
  • Database: IBM MarketScan
  • Objectives:
    • Compare the financial costs of anal cancer survivorship in patients with and without a history of perianal Crohn’s disease, including post-operative complications.
    • Identify demographic and clinical factors associated with high financial cost in anal cancer patients with history of perianal Crohn’s disease.
The team is looking for an MPH student interested in assisting with data handling and analysis. While the analysis itself is relatively straightforward, IBM MarketScan is an insurance claims-based data source that involves complex data handling before it can be analyzed. The selected student will receive authorship on any resulting publications.
 
If interested, students can reach out to at uwaqar [at] emory [dot] edu.
