What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Internal medicine
- Surgery
- Statistics
His primary areas of investigation include Randomized controlled trial, Physical therapy, Clinical trial, Alternative medicine and Surgery.
His Randomized controlled trial study incorporates themes from Confidence interval, Hazard ratio and Psychological intervention.
The concepts of his Physical therapy study are interwoven with issues in Patient satisfaction, Intervention, Cluster randomised controlled trial, Quality of life and Back pain.
His Clinical trial study combines topics in areas such as Research design, Systematic review and Selection bias.
His work carried out in the field of Alternative medicine brings together such families of science as Nursing, Treatment outcome, Health education and Family medicine.
Many of his research projects under Surgery are closely connected to Statistical software with Statistical software, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.
His most cited work include:
- The use of clinical risk factors enhances the performance of BMD in the prediction of hip and osteoporotic fractures in men and women. (898 citations)
- Oral vitamin D3 and calcium for secondary prevention of low-trauma fractures in elderly people (Randomised Evaluation of Calcium Or vitamin D, RECORD): a randomised placebo-controlled trial. (799 citations)
- What are pragmatic trials (553 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His main research concerns Randomized controlled trial, Physical therapy, Surgery, Clinical trial and Psychological intervention.
His Randomized controlled trial research is classified as research in Internal medicine.
David J. Torgerson is interested in Meta-analysis, which is a branch of Internal medicine.
David J. Torgerson works mostly in the field of Physical therapy, limiting it down to concerns involving Alternative medicine and, occasionally, Family medicine.
In the field of Osteoporosis, his study on Hip fracture and Bone mineral overlaps with subjects such as Hormone replacement therapy.
His primary area of study in Confidence interval is in the field of Hazard ratio.
He most often published in these fields:
- Randomized controlled trial (44.43%)
- Physical therapy (37.32%)
- Surgery (11.79%)

- Randomized controlled trial (44.43%)
- Physical therapy (37.32%)
- Psychological intervention (10.34%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
David J. Torgerson mainly focuses on Randomized controlled trial, Physical therapy, Psychological intervention, Confidence interval and Intervention.
His research in Randomized controlled trial intersects with topics in Protocol and Quality of life.
He has included themes like Odds ratio, Logistic regression, Health care, Hazard ratio and Postal questionnaire in his Physical therapy study.
His Psychological intervention research integrates issues from Test, Rate ratio, Public health and Medical education.
David J. Torgerson regularly links together related areas like Clinical trial in his Medical education studies.
His Confidence interval study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Internal medicine.
Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Effectiveness of a nurse-led intensive home-visitation programme for first-time teenage mothers (Building Blocks): a pragmatic randomised controlled trial (154 citations)
- Screening in the community to reduce fractures in older women (SCOOP): a randomised controlled trial (110 citations)
- Trial Forge Guidance 1: what is a Study Within A Trial (SWAT)? (56 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Internal medicine
- Surgery
- Statistics
His primary scientific interests are in Randomized controlled trial, Physical therapy, Psychological intervention, Health care and Quality-adjusted life year.
His Randomized controlled trial study improves the overall literature in Internal medicine.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Cluster randomised controlled trial, Hip fracture, Podiatry and Selection bias in addition to Physical therapy.
His research in Hip fracture intersects with topics in Risk management tools and Hazard ratio.
His Psychological intervention study which covers Gerontology that intersects with Early childhood, Public health, Low birth weight and Health services research.
His studies deal with areas such as Research design, Evidence-based medicine and Referral as well as Health care.
