Dr. Maryam Ali Khan Presents at New York Surgical Society

Feb 4, 2025

Department of Surgery resident Dr. Maryam Ali Khan, PGY3, presented at the New York Surgical Society Fall Scientific Session at The Penn Club.

The abstract by Dr. Khan, Dr. Panos Kougias, and Dr. Sherene Sharath was entitled “Impact of Hospital Volume on Mortality Risk in Patients with Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms.” It was one of four abstracts selected for podium presentation. 
 
Dr. Khan’s study was one of the largest, nationally representative samples with over 18,000 patients investigating the association between hospital volume and mortality risk in patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms. The results demonstrated that low facility-level volume adversely affects outcomes following ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms. Dr. Khan concluded the presentation by highlighting the importance of equipping low volume centers with resources to manage these complex cases and increasing opportunities for care coordination between high and low volume centers.
