About

Jashvant Poeran is a leading pharmacoepidemiologist and health services researcher whose work bridges clinical outcomes, big data analytics, and methodological rigor. His research focuses on three key areas: perioperative outcomes and pain management, comparative effectiveness of surgical techniques, and advanced statistical methods in observational research. Poeran’s major contributions include pioneering the use of instrumental variable analysis in orthopaedic research—a method that addresses confounding in non-randomized studies—as demonstrated in his highly cited 2019 *Statistics in Brief* paper (14 citations). He has also advanced gynecologic surgery by comparing robotic single-site and conventional laparoscopic approaches, revealing critical insights into clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness (2016 study, 28 citations). With over 100 publications and thousands of citations, Poeran’s work has shaped evidence-based surgical practice and pharmacovigilance. Notably, he serves as Director of the Center for Biostatistics and Epidemiology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, where he mentors the next generation of researchers in applying rigorous causal inference methods to real-world healthcare data. His research continues to influence how clinicians and policymakers evaluate surgical innovations and pain management strategies.
