Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Surgery
  • Internal medicine
  • Disease

David R. Flum focuses on Surgery, Cohort study, Retrospective cohort study, General surgery and Body mass index. His Surgery study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Weight loss and Hazard ratio. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Survival analysis and Cohort.

The various areas that David R. Flum examines in his Cohort study study include Appendicitis, Young adult, Perforation, Cumulative incidence and Confidence interval. His study in Retrospective cohort study is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Abdominal aortic aneurysm, Endovascular aneurysm repair and Incidence. His research integrates issues of Abdominal wall, Interquartile range and Abdomen in his study of General surgery.

His most cited work include:

  • Perioperative safety in the longitudinal assessment of bariatric surgery. (1071 citations)
  • No surgical innovation without evaluation: the IDEAL recommendations. (1027 citations)
  • Weight change and health outcomes at 3 years after bariatric surgery among individuals with severe obesity. (552 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Surgery, Cohort study, General surgery, Retrospective cohort study and Weight loss. His research on Surgery focuses in particular on Prospective cohort study. In his work, Confidence interval is strongly intertwined with Odds ratio, which is a subfield of Cohort study.

His Retrospective cohort study study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Radiology, Incidence and Hazard ratio. His research in Weight loss tackles topics such as Diabetes mellitus which are related to areas like Internal medicine and Insulin. His studies in Diverticulitis integrate themes in fields like Diverticular disease, Colostomy and Elective surgery.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Surgery (48.75%)
  • Cohort study (17.73%)
  • General surgery (15.24%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Surgery (48.75%)
  • Cohort (9.42%)
  • Internal medicine (9.14%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Surgery, Cohort, Internal medicine, Diverticulitis and Weight loss. His Surgery research incorporates elements of Obesity, Cohort study and Confidence interval. His study in Cohort is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Perforation and Observational study.

In the field of Internal medicine, his study on Disease and Acute cholecystitis overlaps with subjects such as In patient. His work deals with themes such as Area under the curve, Diverticular disease, Intensive care medicine, Elective surgery and Prospective cohort study, which intersect with Diverticulitis. His studies deal with areas such as Diabetes mellitus, Ethnic group and Incidence as well as Weight loss.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Development and Validation of a Prediction Model for Pain and Functional Outcomes After Lumbar Spine Surgery. (66 citations)
  • A Randomized Trial Comparing Antibiotics with Appendectomy for Appendicitis. (26 citations)
  • Changes in Sexual Functioning in Women and Men in the 5 Years After Bariatric Surgery. (21 citations)

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

  • Surgery
  • Internal medicine
  • Cancer

His main research concerns Surgery, Cohort, Retrospective cohort study, Weight loss and Appendicitis. His research investigates the connection between Surgery and topics such as Obesity that intersect with problems in Medicaid and Relative risk. His Cohort research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Concordance, Spondylolisthesis, Physical therapy and Ghrelin.

David R. Flum usually deals with Retrospective cohort study and limits it to topics linked to Confidence interval and Colectomy, Stoma and Colostomy. As a member of one scientific family, David R. Flum mostly works in the field of Weight loss, focusing on Diabetes mellitus and, on occasion, Hospitalized patients and Institutional review board. His Appendicitis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Perforation, Adverse effect and Randomized controlled trial, Randomization.
