This research was recognized through its acceptance for publication in the Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis. In addition, it was awarded as the Runner Up for Best Abstract at last year’s Fellow’s Day and was honored with a Trainee Travel Award for Research at the Southern Society for Pediatric Research meeting in February 2024. This research underscored the importance of mental health in the management of chronic conditions as well as the importance of accuracy in medical charting for large database research.
