- Disease
- Virus
Her primary scientific interests are in Streptococcus pneumoniae, Pediatrics, Pneumonia, Immunology and Incidence.
Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Carriage and Serotype, Virology.
The concepts of her Pediatrics study are interwoven with issues in Global health, Disease burden, Developing country and Intensive care medicine.
The various areas that Katherine L. O'Brien examines in her Pneumonia study include Etiology, Epidemiology, Child mortality and Pneumococcal pneumonia.
Her study in Immunology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Internal medicine, Disease and Antibiotic resistance.
Her work carried out in the field of Incidence brings together such families of science as Ampicillin, Neonatal sepsis, Sepsis and Group B.
Her most cited work include:
- Burden of disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae in children younger than 5 years: global estimates (1795 citations)
- Global burden of acute lower respiratory infections due to respiratory syncytial virus in young children: a systematic review and meta-analysis (1780 citations)
- Safety and Efficacy of a Pentavalent Human–Bovine (WC3) Reassortant Rotavirus Vaccine (1577 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Katherine L. O'Brien spends much of her time researching Pediatrics, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Immunology, Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine and Pneumonia.
Her Pediatrics research integrates issues from Epidemiology, Incidence and Disease, Disease burden.
Her Streptococcus pneumoniae research incorporates themes from Carriage and Herd immunity.
Her studies in Immunology integrate themes in fields like Pneumococcal vaccine, Internal medicine and Virology.
Her research investigates the connection between Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine and topics such as Serotype that intersect with problems in Pneumococcal 7-Valent Conjugate Vaccine.
In Pneumonia, Katherine L. O'Brien works on issues like Intensive care medicine, which are connected to Developing country.
She most often published in these fields:
- Pediatrics (37.85%)
- Streptococcus pneumoniae (30.68%)
- Immunology (30.28%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Internal medicine (16.33%)

- Pneumonia (23.90%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Internal medicine, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Pneumonia, Pediatrics and Vaccination.
Katherine L. O'Brien works in the field of Streptococcus pneumoniae, focusing on Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in particular.
Her Pneumonia study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Pathogen, Diaphragmatic breathing, Pneumococcal pneumonia, Virus and Etiology.
Meningitis is the focus of her Pediatrics research.
In the field of Vaccination, her study on Measles overlaps with subjects such as Dengue vaccine.
Katherine L. O'Brien studied Disease burden and Pneumococcal infections that intersect with Child mortality.
Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:
- Safety and immunogenicity of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine against SARS-CoV-2: a preliminary report of a phase 1/2, single-blind, randomised controlled trial (671 citations)
- Burden of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae type b disease in children in the era of conjugate vaccines: global, regional, and national estimates for 2000–15 (276 citations)
- Causes of severe pneumonia requiring hospital admission in children without HIV infection from Africa and Asia: the PERCH multi-country case-control study (157 citations)
In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Internal medicine
- Disease
- Virus
Her primary areas of study are Streptococcus pneumoniae, Pneumonia, Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, Vaccination and Global health.
Katherine L. O'Brien interconnects Meningitis, Pediatrics and Hib vaccine in the investigation of issues within Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Her Infant newborn study in the realm of Pediatrics interacts with subjects such as Seasonal influenza.
Her Pneumonia study deals with the bigger picture of Internal medicine.
The Incidence research Katherine L. O'Brien does as part of her general Internal medicine study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Diabetes mellitus, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.
Her Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Serotype, Virology, Randomized controlled trial, Immunogenicity and Vaccine efficacy.
