Clementine Labrosciano

Dr Clementine Labrosciano

Research Coordinator

Adelaide Medical School

Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences


Clementine is an Early Career Researcher in the Translational Vascular Function Research Collaborative, based at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Clementine's PhD was conferred in 2020 with a Dean’s Commendation for Doctoral Thesis Excellence. Her thesis evaluated readmissions following hospitalisation for cardiovascular disease in Australia and implemented a variety of methods including data linkage and big data techniques to determine rates of readmission and mortality in Australia and New Zealand, a clinical pilot study to investigate one factor believed to be involved in these readmissions - sleep deprivation during the initial hospitalisation. Clementine also has experience in working with international registry data through her contribution to the PORTRAIT (Patient-Centered Outcomes Related to Treatment Practices in Peripheral Arterial Disease: Investigating Trajectories) study. Clementine is currently recruiting patients for the Coronary Angiogram Database of South Australia (CADOSA) Registry and working on studies to reduce the risk of readmission following heart attack and improve the quality of care.

Clementine is a passionate cardiovascular health services and outcomes researcher. As part of her Honours project, Clementine ran the Australian component of the Patient-centered Outcomes Related to TReatment practices in peripheral Arterial disease: an Investigating Trajectories (PORTRAIT) Registry, an internationally led project. Her Honours thesis focused on the health status of South Australian patients with peripheral artery disease.

 

During her PhD, Clementine implemented a variety of methods including data linkage and big data techniques to determine rates of readmission and mortality in Australia and New Zealand. Clementine also ran a pilot study to better understand whether sleep disruption during hospitalisation leads to readmissions. 

 

Clementine is currently recruiting patients for the Coronary Angiogram Database of South Australia (CADOSA) Registry. The CADOSA Registry captures clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients undergoing coronary angiography and/or percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in South Australia and aims to improve patient's quality of care. Using data from the CADOSA Registry, Clementine is developing a risk prediction model to determine which patients are more likely to be readmitted after a heart attack.

 

The following research project is available for semester 1 start and mid-year entry may be considered:

Title: Coronary Angiogram Database of South Australia (CADOSA): Improving health outcomes (e.g. readmissions) in patients undergoing coronary angiography
Description:Coronary angiography is the clinical benchmark technique in the assessment of coronary artery disease with more than 6,000 performed in South Australia each year. Despite its diagnostic benefits in identifying the presence of coronary disease, its benefit to the patient has been less rigorously studied and will be the focus of this project. CADOSA is an internationally renowned clinical registry incorporating global links with organizations including the American College of Cardiology National Cardiovascular Data Registry and the International Consortium of Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM).
Projects Available: Honours and HDR
Location: Basil Hetzel Institute for Translational Health Research, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital
Special Requirements: DCSI Clearance, Vaccinations
