John E Jelovsek
Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology

Dr. Jelovsek is the Vice Chair of Education and the Director of Data Science for Women’s Health in Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology (OBGYN) at Duke University. He is Board Certified in OBGYN by the American Board of OBGYN and Board Certified in Female Pelvic Medicine & Reconstructive Surgery by the American Board of OBGYN and American Board of Urology. He currently practices Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery (FPMRS). He has expertise in the development and validation of “individualized” patient-centered prediction tools to improve patient and clinician decision-making around development and possible prevention of pelvic floor disorders after childbirth, predicting the risk of de novo stress urinary incontinence after surgery for pelvic organ prolapse, wound infection after Cesarean delivery, transfusion during gynecologic surgery and efficacy and risk of undergoing pelvic organ prolapse surgery. These tools, although established in other fields, are innovative in the field of FPMRS and part of efforts to “individualize” medicine to patients with pelvic floor disorders by providing estimates of their risk for the conditions. He spends a significant proportion of time devoted to one on one mentoring of learners who are interested in learning how to build, code and test prediction models. He has significant clinical research experience as an investigator in the NICHD Pelvic Floor Disorders Network and most recently as part of the NIDDK Symptoms of Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction Research Network (LURN).

Current Research Interests

Statistical Models in the field of Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery. With the advancement of statistical learning techniques and training in Data Science, Dr. Jelovsek has devoted effort to improving the accuracy of the informed consent process between patients and surgeons. Rather than provide average estimates of risk based on data from surgical trials (when they exist), statistical models allow predictions to be tailored for low and high-risk patients with increased degree of accuracy. He believes use of these tools allows providers to better triage our recommendations and improve patient satisfaction by better balancing risk and benefits. These tools are programmed on publicly available websites in the Female Pelvic Medicine and Pregnancy section at http://www.riskcalc.org and receive many hits. Supporting manuscripts include:

Surgical Trials in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery. Surgical trials, especially those using different surgical approaches, are difficult to accomplish due to training of the surgeon and surgeon bias. He believes these studies remain critical to advancing the surgical management of conditions in FPMRS. A few citations are listed:

Surgical Education and Development and Validation of Surgical Training Models. Surgical education is a cornerstone to being an academic surgeon. However, a good surgical teacher is not always using best evidence in education as they may in clinical care. Dr. Jelovsek feels the responsibility to study best educational methods in the field for teaching and assessment just as much as one would for taking care of patients. Additionally, he believes it is an ethical responsibility of surgeons to use non-patient models to learn when they are available and useful to avoid early learning on patients. His dedication to creating a variety of surgical simulators in our field has resulted. A few examples are listed:

Epidemiology of Pelvic Floor Disorders. Understanding cause and effect in the field of Female Pelvic Medicine has provided the foundation for almost all of his clinical research questions. His experience has included a variety of publications in various areas of epidemiology of pelvic floor disorders including quality of life, statistical methods of using quality of life instruments and poorly understood disorders such as bowel disorders related to the pelvic floor. He believes that understanding these complex relationships allow treating surgeons to appropriately counsel patients so they may select the best treatment for them to improve their quality of life.
