Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery
  • Disease

Andreas F. Widmer mostly deals with Surgery, Intensive care medicine, Microbiology, Internal medicine and Hygiene. His work deals with themes such as Odds ratio and Antibiotic prophylaxis, which intersect with Surgery. His Intensive care medicine study incorporates themes from Infectious disease, Incidence, Bacteremia, Osteomyelitis and Clinical investigation.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Microbiology, Typing and Isozyme is strongly linked to Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. The concepts of his Internal medicine study are interwoven with issues in Carriage, Intensive care, Universal precautions and Outbreak. The Hygiene study combines topics in areas such as Patient care and Infection control.

His most cited work include:

  • Role of Rifampin for Treatment of Orthopedic Implant–Related Staphylococcal Infections : A Randomized Controlled Trial (816 citations)
  • Distribution of Legionella Species and Serogroups Isolated by Culture in Patients with Sporadic Community-Acquired Legionellosis: An International Collaborative Survey (526 citations)
  • Infections associated with orthopedic implants. (367 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Andreas F. Widmer mainly investigates Surgery, Internal medicine, Microbiology, Intensive care medicine and Infection control. His Surgery research includes elements of Observational study and Hygiene. His Internal medicine study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Carriage.

His Microbiology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and Staphylococcus aureus. As part of his studies on Infection control, he frequently links adjacent subjects like Outbreak. His studies link Antimicrobial with Antibiotics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Surgery (26.04%)
  • Internal medicine (23.73%)
  • Microbiology (19.35%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Infection control (14.06%)
  • Internal medicine (23.73%)
  • Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (2.53%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His scientific interests lie mostly in Infection control, Internal medicine, Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, Coronavirus disease 2019 and Family medicine. Part of his project on Infection control includes research on Surgery and Intensive care medicine. In Surgery, Andreas F. Widmer works on issues like Cohort, which are connected to Cardiac surgery and Observational study.

Andreas F. Widmer works mostly in the field of Intensive care medicine, limiting it down to concerns involving Guideline and, occasionally, Antibiotic prophylaxis. Andreas F. Widmer focuses mostly in the field of Internal medicine, narrowing it down to topics relating to Antibiotic resistance and, in certain cases, Public health. His Coronavirus disease 2019 research includes themes of Respiratory system and Virology.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • SARS-CoV2: should inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin system be withdrawn in patients with COVID-19? (227 citations)
  • 2019-novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV): estimating the case fatality rate - a word of caution. (93 citations)
  • Risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission by aerosols, the rational use of masks, and protection of healthcare workers from COVID-19. (51 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery
  • Disease

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Infection control, Coronavirus disease 2019, Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, Confidence interval and 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Transmission, Epidemiology and Psychological intervention. His study focuses on the intersection of Epidemiology and fields such as Clone with connections in the field of Outbreak.

His Confidence interval study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Internal medicine. His Proportional hazards model research is under the purview of Surgery. The Surgery study which covers Observational study that intersects with Internal fixation and Microbiology.
