Mark D. Neuman is the Horatio C. Wood Associate Professor of Anesthesiology and Critical Care at the Perelman School of Medicine.  He is a practicing anesthesiologist and health services researcher whose work focuses on understanding how the organization and delivery of surgical care in the U.S. affect the lives of older adults. To date, my research has focused primarily on the context of hip fracture, a common surgical condition among older US adults that carries potentially severe consequences for survival and recovery of independence.  I am the principal investigator of the REGAIN Trial (Regional versus General Anesthesia for Promoting Independence after Hip Fracture), an international, 45-center, 1,600-patient pragmatic randomized controlled trial funded by the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute to compare survival and functional and cognitive outcomes among patients receiving spinal versus general anesthesia for hip fracture care. Other work has included research supported by an NIA-funded K08 career development award aimed at understanding how variations in care delivered in disparate settings—such as acute-care hospitals and skilled nursing facilities—each ultimately influence the end results of care for hip fracture patients.
