Biography

Dr. Allison Janda is a cardiothoracic anesthesiologist and researcher whose work centers on evaluating outcomes from both major cardiac and non-cardiac surgeries. She is particularly focused on assessing how variations in intraoperative management can impact patient outcomes and costs associated with surgical procedures. Currently, she collaborates with the Multicenter Perioperative Outcomes Group (MPOG), which is an international consortium that coordinates perioperative databases at the University of Michigan. Her research involves conducting retrospective observational studies aimed at understanding perioperative outcomes and promoting the development of pragmatic clinical trials that seek to improve intraoperative care and postoperative results. Dr. Janda applies her clinical informatics expertise to large perioperative databases and aims to offer insights into the selection of inotropic and vasopressor therapies, especially in the context of postoperative outcomes. Additionally, her research interests merge clinical anesthesiology with health economics, informed by her undergraduate degree in Economics. Throughout her training and career, she has focused on improving care through data-driven insights that highlight factors affecting postoperative complications and readmissions.
