Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Statistics
  • Surgery

Elie A. Akl mostly deals with Evidence-based medicine, Guideline, Systematic review, Internal medicine and Health care. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Quality of evidence, Physical therapy, Evidence-based practice and Fibrinolytic agent. His Guideline research includes themes of Quality, Rheumatoid arthritis, Family medicine and Professional association.

He combines subjects such as Health technology, Randomized controlled trial and Intensive care medicine with his study of Systematic review. His research investigates the connection between Internal medicine and topics such as Surgery that intersect with issues in Disease. His Health care research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Checklist, Decision support system, Knowledge management and Medical education.

His most cited work include:

  • Antithrombotic therapy for VTE disease: Antithrombotic Therapy and Prevention of Thrombosis, 9th ed: American College of Chest Physicians Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines. (5057 citations)
  • GRADE guidelines: 1. Introduction-GRADE evidence profiles and summary of findings tables (3643 citations)
  • Antithrombotic Therapy for VTE Disease: CHEST Guideline and Expert Panel Report (2635 citations)

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

Elie A. Akl focuses on Randomized controlled trial, Systematic review, Guideline, Internal medicine and Family medicine. His research on Randomized controlled trial also deals with topics like

  • Meta-analysis, which have a strong connection to Observational study, Intensive care medicine and Absolute risk reduction,
  • Confidence interval which intersects with area such as Odds ratio. The study incorporates disciplines such as Checklist, Health care, Evidence-based medicine and Medical education in addition to Guideline.

He has researched Evidence-based medicine in several fields, including Physical therapy, Evidence-based practice and Fibrinolytic agent. His Internal medicine research integrates issues from Surgery and Cardiology.
