Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Surgery
  • Internal medicine
  • Cancer

Derek Lowe mainly investigates Surgery, Quality of life, Cancer, Epidermoid carcinoma and Prospective cohort study. The concepts of his Surgery study are interwoven with issues in Internal medicine and Incidence. He interconnects Physical therapy, Head and neck cancer, Swallowing and Anxiety in the investigation of issues within Quality of life.

His research in Physical therapy intersects with topics in Disease and Retrospective cohort study. Derek Lowe works mostly in the field of Head and neck cancer, limiting it down to concerns involving SF-36 and, occasionally, Social functioning. His studies deal with areas such as Neck dissection, Plastic surgery and Pharyngeal cancer as well as Epidermoid carcinoma.

His most cited work include:

  • Effect of ultraclean air in operating rooms on deep sepsis in the joint after total hip or knee replacement: a randomised study. (571 citations)
  • Acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding in the UK: patient characteristics, diagnoses and outcomes in the 2007 UK audit (365 citations)
  • The addition of mood and anxiety domains to the University of Washington quality of life scale (293 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Surgery, Head and neck cancer, Quality of life, Cancer and Physical therapy. His study looks at the relationship between Surgery and topics such as Mouth neoplasm, which overlap with Cohort. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Head and neck cancer, Nursing is strongly linked to Family medicine.

His Quality of life research focuses on Conventional PCI and how it relates to Outpatient clinic. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Stage, Pediatrics and General surgery. His Physical therapy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Distress and Otorhinolaryngology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Surgery (35.00%)
  • Head and neck cancer (31.90%)
  • Quality of life (23.81%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Head and neck cancer (31.90%)
  • Quality of life (23.81%)
  • Physical therapy (18.10%)

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

His primary areas of study are Head and neck cancer, Quality of life, Physical therapy, Cancer and Conventional PCI. To a larger extent, Derek Lowe studies Surgery with the aim of understanding Head and neck cancer. He combines subjects such as Psychological intervention, Anxiety, Distress and Mood with his study of Quality of life.

His Physical therapy research incorporates elements of Interquartile range and Otorhinolaryngology. His study in Cancer is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Disease, Pediatrics, Surgical excision and Referral. His Conventional PCI research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Randomized controlled trial, Outpatient clinic and Free flap.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Mandibular reconstruction with vascularised bone flaps: a systematic review over 25 years (48 citations)
  • Socioeconomic deprivation and the outcome of pulmonary rehabilitation in England and Wales (31 citations)
  • Health-related quality of life, fear of recurrence, and emotional distress in patients treated for thyroid cancer. (21 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery
  • Cancer

Quality of life, Head and neck cancer, Physical therapy, In patient and Cancer are his primary areas of study. His study with Quality of life involves better knowledge in Internal medicine. His work carried out in the field of Head and neck cancer brings together such families of science as Intervention and Palliative care.

Derek Lowe has included themes like Conventional PCI, Distress and Otorhinolaryngology in his Physical therapy study. Cancer is often connected to Pediatrics in his work. His Surgery research includes elements of Choking, Response rate and Patient experience.
