Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Internal medicine
Fetus
Surgery

His primary scientific interests are in Obstetrics, Pregnancy, Fetus, Gynecology and Gestation. His work carried out in the field of Obstetrics brings together such families of science as Down syndrome, Prenatal diagnosis, Clinical trial and Amniotic fluid. The study incorporates disciplines such as Prospective cohort study, Internal medicine and Endocrinology in addition to Pregnancy.

His research in Fetus intersects with topics in Anesthesia and Blood flow. His Gynecology study incorporates themes from Trisomy, Ultrasound, Nuchal Translucency Measurement, Pregnancy-associated plasma protein A and Risk factor. Lawrence D. Platt works mostly in the field of Gestation, limiting it down to topics relating to Human chorionic gonadotropin and, in certain cases, Decidua, as a part of the same area of interest.

His most cited work include:

Chromosomal microarray versus karyotyping for prenatal diagnosis (650 citations)
Antepartum fetal evaluation: Development of a fetal biophysical profile (597 citations)
Genome-wide Fetal Aneuploidy Detection by Maternal Plasma DNA Sequencing (554 citations)

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

Lawrence D. Platt mostly deals with Obstetrics, Fetus, Pregnancy, Ultrasound and Internal medicine. His Obstetrics study also includes fields such as

Down syndrome most often made with reference to Gynecology,
Aneuploidy that connect with fields like Trisomy. His Fetus research focuses on subjects like Anesthesia, which are linked to Fetal heart rate.

His Pregnancy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Retrospective cohort study, Prospective cohort study and Pediatrics. Lawrence D. Platt combines subjects such as Ultrasonography and Pathology with his study of Ultrasound. His studies deal with areas such as Endocrinology and Cardiology as well as Internal medicine.

He most often published in these fields:

Obstetrics (42.02%)
Fetus (34.04%)
Pregnancy (29.34%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

Obstetrics (42.02%)
Ultrasound (19.01%)
Pregnancy (29.34%)

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

His main research concerns Obstetrics, Ultrasound, Pregnancy, Cell-free fetal DNA and Fetus. He has researched Obstetrics in several fields, including Nuchal translucency, Prenatal diagnosis, Amniocentesis, Aneuploidy and Pregnancy outcomes. His Ultrasound research includes themes of Maternal-fetal medicine, First trimester and Gynecology.

A large part of his Pregnancy studies is devoted to Gestation. His research integrates issues of Cancer research and Predictive value of tests, Retrospective cohort study, Pathology in his study of Cell-free fetal DNA. Lawrence D. Platt interconnects Surgery, Gestational age and Anatomy in the investigation of issues within Fetus.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

The World Health Organization Fetal Growth Charts: A Multinational Longitudinal Study of Ultrasound Biometric Measurements and Estimated Fetal Weight (217 citations)
Chromosomal microarray versus karyotyping for prenatal diagnosis (94 citations)
ISUOG Practice Guidelines: performance of fetal magnetic resonance imaging (52 citations)

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

Internal medicine
Surgery
Fetus

His primary scientific interests are in Obstetrics, Prenatal diagnosis, Pregnancy, Gestational age and Fetus. His study in Obstetrics is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Surgery, Amniocentesis, Nuchal translucency and Aneuploidy. His study looks at the intersection of Prenatal diagnosis and topics like Abnormality with Fetal mri, Confidence interval and Fisher's exact test.

His Pregnancy research includes elements of Ultrasonography, Radiology, Ultrasound and Pediatrics. The Gestational age study combines topics in areas such as Developed country and Transvaginal ultrasound. In the subject of general Fetus, his work in Advanced maternal age and Fetal surgery is often linked to Laser surgery, thereby combining diverse domains of study.
