Overview

David A. Clark is affiliated with McMaster University in Canada and has contributed extensively to the field of medicine with a focus on nephrology. Their research spans a variety of important topics including dialysis and renal disease management, muscle and compartmental disorders, health systems, economic evaluations, and quality of life.

Clark's work touches upon emergent areas such as COVID-19 and healthcare impacts, healthcare cost, quality, practices, trauma, and emergency care studies. This multidisciplinary approach reflects their engagement in both clinical and health systems research, primarily within nephrology and emergency medicine.

Frequent coauthors in Clark's research include:

  • Karthik Tennankore

  • Kidney Medicine
  • Kidney International Reports
  • Journal of the American Society of Nephrology
  • Kidney360

Clark's recent papers provide insight into their research themes and contributions. Selected publications include:

  • "Management of Outpatient Hemodialysis During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Recommendations From the Canadian Society of Nephrology COVID-19 Rapid Response Team," 2020, Canadian Journal of Kidney Health and Disease
  • "Frailty Severity and Hospitalization After Dialysis Initiation," 2021, Canadian Journal of Kidney Health and Disease
  • "Canadian Society of Nephrology COVID-19 Rapid Response Team Home Dialysis Recommendations," 2020, Canadian Journal of Kidney Health and Disease
  • "Predictors of Hyperkalemia among Patients on Maintenance Hemodialysis Transported to the Emergency Department by Ambulance," 2022, Kidney360
  • "CSN COVID-19 Rapid Review Program: Management of Acute Kidney Injury," 2020, Canadian Journal of Kidney Health and Disease

Their research focus on dialysis and renal disease management is evident in the topics and papers they contribute to, often addressing clinical practice adjustments during the COVID-19 pandemic and considerations following dialysis initiation. The intersection with emergency medicine and surgery reflects in studies on acute kidney injury and emergency transport scenarios related to hemodialysis patients.

Clark's work also examines broader health systems and economic aspects of nephrology care, contributing to understanding the quality of life and healthcare practice improvements. The integration of multiple fields such as oncology and economics complements the pharmaco-clinical and organizational dimensions of their research.
