About
Dr. Darcie R. Gorman is an Assistant Professor (Clinical) in the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Utah. She graduated from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in 2004 and completed her Internal Medicine Residency, Chief Medical Residency, and Gastroenterology Fellowship at the University of Utah. She spent 12 years in private practice caring for a diverse patient population with a wide variety of gastrointestinal conditions, including irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, liver disease, gastroesophageal reflux, constipation, and eosinophilic esophagitis. Dr. Gorman is dedicated to providing thorough and compassionate gastroenterology care to patients of all genders, ethnicities, and faiths, with a special interest in serving the medical needs of the LGBTQIA+ population. She is board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine in both Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology and has contributed to research publications in her field.

article1st authorCorrespondingPurpose: Radiofrequency atrial fibrillation ablation (AFA) is commonly performed in patients with atrial fibrillation. It is imperative to develop a strategy for early detection of esophageal lesions secondary to AFA. Current protocol is to obtain cross sectional imaging before and immediately after the procedure. If patients have evidence of esophageal inflammation, they undergo EGD. We hypothesized that esophageal abnormalities seen on imaging immediately post ablation are a poor predictor of damage seen during EGD. Methods: Patients referred for EGD following AFA from 1/2009-11/2010 were included. Two endoscopists reviewed and scored EGD images. Two radiologists reviewed post-AFA imaging studies. For CTs, esophageal inflammation was scored from 0 to 2. For T2 and delayed MRI images, esophageal enhancement was scored from 0 to 2, circumference involved as 0, <50%, or >50%, and length of esophageal enhancement in mm. Results: 78 pts were included. 22 pts had only endoscopic images, and 54 had both endoscopic and radiologic images for review. Of the post-AFA imaging studies, 16 were CTs and 60 MRIs. Kappa score for inter-rater agreement of esophageal inflammation on EGDs was 0.4584 (moderate). For MRIs, kappa scores for T2 images were 0.1980 and 0.2857 for edema and circumference, respectively. For delayed images, kappa scores were 0.2687 and 0.3101 for edema and circumference respectively. Kappa scores were negative between EGD score by T2 edema (-0.2104) and circumference (-0.2212), and between EGD score and delayed edema (-0.0588) and circumference (-0.0446). When measures were treated as dichotomous, overall agreement between CT measures and EGD scores were kappa=0, T2 measures and EGD were kappa = -0.2963 95% CI (-0.5643, -0.0282) and between delayed measures kappa = -0.0244 95% CI (-0.1420-0.0932). Conclusion: There was no agreement between immediate imaging and endoscopic findings of esophageal inflammation after AFA. A longer period of time between AFA and obtaining an imaging study may be useful in detecting patients with significant esophageal injury who should undergo EGD to assess for complications of AFA. Further studies are needed to determine the best modalities and optimal timing to detect post-AFA esophageal damage in an attempt to prevent formation of atrial-esophageal fistulas.

articleBlack women have the highest mortality for breast cancer. Our hypothesis is that racial disparities in breast cancer survival persist after controlling for stage of disease and treatment at both a city hospital as well as at a university hospital. Data from tumor registries of breast cancer patients at a city hospital and a university center were analyzed for overall and disease-specific survival, controlling for stage and treatment. Black patients presented with more advanced stages and had significantly worse survival compared with whites. After controlling for stage of disease and treatment, a difference in survival persisted for stage II patients, with blacks doing worse than whites at both institutions. Although there were socioeconomic differences, race was an independent prognostic factor, with black patients having the worse prognosis. The lower survival of black women with breast cancer is only partially explained by their advanced stage at diagnosis. Black women with potentially curable stage II cancer had a lower survival that is not explained by the variables measured.
