Characterizing inflammatory breast cancer among Arab Americans in the California, Detroit and New Jersey Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) registries (1988–2008)
Kelly A. Hirko,Amr S. Soliman,Mousumi Banerjee,Julie J. Ruterbusch,Joe B. Harford,Robert M. Chamberlain,John J. Graff,Sofia D. Merajver,Kendra Schwartz +8 more
TL;DR: IBC may be more common among certain minority groups, including Arab American women, and understanding the descriptive epidemiology of IBC by race may generate hypotheses about risk factors for this aggressive disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Telehealth in response to the COVID-19 pandemic: Implications for rural health disparities.
Kelly A. Hirko,Jean M. Kerver,Sabrina Ford,Chelsea Szafranski,John Beckett,Chris Kitchen,Andrea Wendling +6 more
TL;DR: Specific examples of telehealth efforts that have been implemented in a large rural healthcare system in response to the COVID-19 pandemic are provided and how the massive shift to telehealth and reliance on virtual connections in these times of social isolation may impact rural health disparities is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systematic review of the concurrent and predictive validity of MRI biomarkers in OA
David J. Hunter,Weiya Zhang,Philip G. Conaghan,Kelly A. Hirko,L. Menashe,Ling Li,William M. Reichmann,Elena Losina +7 more
TL;DR: MRI has inherent strengths and unique advantages in its ability to visualize multiple individual tissue pathologies relating to pain and also predict clinical outcome, which is best imaged using this imaging tool.
Journal ArticleDOI
Responsiveness and reliability of MRI in knee osteoarthritis: a meta-analysis of published evidence.
David J. Hunter,Weiya Zhang,Philip G. Conaghan,Kelly A. Hirko,L. Menashe,William M. Reichmann,Elena Losina +6 more
TL;DR: MRI has evolved substantially over the last decade and its strengths include the ability to visualize individual tissue pathologies, which can be measured reliably and with good responsiveness using both quantitative and semi-quantitative techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
The diagnostic performance of MRI in osteoarthritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Leo Menashe,Kelly A. Hirko,Elena Losina,Margreet Kloppenburg,Weiya Zhang,Ling Li,David J. Hunter,David J. Hunter +7 more
TL;DR: MRI can detect OA with an overall high specificity and moderate sensitivity when compared with various reference standards, thus lending more utility to ruling out OA than ruling it in.
