Today I continued to work on my final presentation and then I met with Dr. A. He gave me guidance with respect to the final calculations I'd be using for the statistical analysis. We talked through what statistical test would make the most sense with the data I've chosen as well as what adding more factors to look at would do to my overall results. At Dr. Stains suggestion, I'm adding in Operations
CT scan (code) LOS Mortality Readmission Pseudocyst These added variables should give my final data more significance.

This week Dr. M and I'd hoped that we'd be able to meet with Dr. A and start the statistical analysis but he was out. Instead we worked a bit more on the abstract and introduction. Dr. A also helped me start my final presentation and sent along some CT scans of patients that have pancreatitis and explained to me how to look at them. This is a person that has pancreatitis as well as an extremely enlarged liver due to alcohol abuse. The fuzzy grey is the inflammation and fluid surrounding the pancreas. This is a healthy pancreas. It's bumpy and there's no inflammation or fluid. You can also see that the liver is a lot smaller.
