Ken Hillman interconnects Cohort study, MEDLINE, Level of consciousness, Meta-analysis and Disease in the investigation of issues within Intensive care unit. Ken Hillman conducted interdisciplinary study in his works that combined Intensive care and Bathing. His research on Rapid response system concerns the broader Medical emergency.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Non-beneficial treatments in hospital at the end of life: a systematic review on extent of the problem (125 citations)
  • Do variations in hospital mortality patterns after weekend admission reflect reduced quality of care or different patient cohorts? A population-based study (85 citations)
  • Development of a tool for defining and identifying the dying patient in hospital: Criteria for Screening and Triaging to Appropriate aLternative care (CriSTAL) (62 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery
  • Health care

Ken Hillman focuses on Emergency medicine, Nursing, Medical emergency, Intensive care unit and Rapid response system. His Emergency medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Emergency department overcrowding, Mortality rate, Pediatrics and Retrospective cohort study. His Medical emergency research includes themes of Vital signs and Patient safety.

Intensive care medicine covers Ken Hillman research in Intensive care unit. His study explores the link between Rapid response system and topics such as Hospital mortality that cross with problems in Rapid response team. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Critical care nursing, Intensive care and Number needed to treat.
