Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Public health
  • Health care

Her primary areas of study are Pediatrics, Global health, Infant mortality, Demography and Premature birth. Her Pediatrics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Psychological intervention, Cause of death, Developing country, Child mortality and Birth rate. Her Global health research includes elements of Developed country, Death certificate, Health policy and Reproductive health.

Her Infant mortality study combines topics in areas such as Epidemiology, Environmental health, Obstetrics, Family planning and Poverty. Her research in Demography intersects with topics in Verbal autopsy, Population statistics and Multinomial logistic regression. The concepts of her Premature birth study are interwoven with issues in Meta-analysis, Birth weight, Cohort study and Reproductive medicine.

Her most cited work include:

  • National regional and worldwide estimates of preterm birth rates in the year 2010 with time trends since 1990 for selected countries: a systematic analysis and implications. (2645 citations)
  • Global, regional, and national causes of child mortality: An updated systematic analysis for 2010 with time trends since 2000 (2641 citations)
  • 4 million neonatal deaths: When? Where? Why? (2517 citations)

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

Joy E Lawn focuses on Pediatrics, Infant mortality, Psychological intervention, Environmental health and Global health. Joy E Lawn combines subjects such as Epidemiology, Premature birth, Demography, Cause of death and Developing country with her study of Pediatrics. When carried out as part of a general Demography research project, her work on Mortality rate is frequently linked to work in Estimation, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

Her Infant mortality research includes elements of Health policy, Intensive care medicine, Obstetrics, Child mortality and Prenatal care. Her Psychological intervention research integrates issues from Childbirth, Infant Care and Program evaluation. Her studies deal with areas such as Poverty, Observational study and Health care as well as Environmental health.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Pediatrics (48.18%)
  • Infant mortality (35.77%)
  • Psychological intervention (31.63%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Public health (19.46%)
  • Reproductive medicine (7.30%)
  • Family medicine (9.49%)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Public health, Reproductive medicine, Family medicine, Demography and Epidemiology. Joy E Lawn focuses mostly in the field of Public health, narrowing it down to matters related to Data quality and, in some cases, Health informatics. Her work carried out in the field of Reproductive medicine brings together such families of science as Observational study, Environmental health and Emergency medicine.

Her Demography study also includes fields such as

  • Gestational age together with Cohort study and Birth rate,
  • Live birth, which have a strong connection to Postnatal Care and Risk factor. Joy E Lawn interconnects Disease and Child mortality in the investigation of issues within Epidemiology. She undertakes multidisciplinary investigations into Pediatrics and Healthy start in her work.

Between 2019 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Effect of the COVID-19 pandemic response on intrapartum care, stillbirth, and neonatal mortality outcomes in Nepal: a prospective observational study. (112 citations)
  • Assessment of the validity of the measurement of newborn and maternal health-care coverage in hospitals (EN-BIRTH): an observational study (20 citations)
  • Randomised comparison of two household survey modules for measuring stillbirths and neonatal deaths in five countries: the Every Newborn-INDEPTH study. (18 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Public health
  • Disease

Joy E Lawn spends much of her time researching Observational study, Reproductive medicine, Family medicine, Data quality and Gold standard. Her Observational study study incorporates themes from Breastfeeding and Obstetrics. The study incorporates disciplines such as Blood culture, Sepsis and Pneumonia in addition to Reproductive medicine.

Her Family medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Health management system and Public health. Her studies in Data quality integrate themes in fields like Health informatics, Health facility, Health administration and Environmental health. Joy E Lawn studied Population level and Demography that intersect with Infant mortality.
