Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
  • Internal medicine
  • Health care

His main research concerns Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Immunology, Demography, Incidence and Sexually transmitted disease. His research integrates issues of Relative risk, Gynecology, Viral load and Risk factor in his study of Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. The concepts of his Immunology study are interwoven with issues in Transmission, Attributable risk, Disease and Cohort.

His Demography research includes themes of Epidemiology, Seroconversion, Cohort study and Gerontology. His Incidence research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Young adult, Randomized controlled trial and Rural area. His Sexually transmitted disease study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Bacterial vaginosis, Syphilis, Flora, Chlamydia trachomatis and Internal medicine.

His most cited work include:

  • Viral Load and Heterosexual Transmission of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (2565 citations)
  • Male circumcision for HIV prevention in men in Rakai, Uganda: a randomised trial (1862 citations)
  • Probability of HIV-1 transmission per coital act in monogamous, heterosexual, HIV-1-discordant couples in Rakai, Uganda (1181 citations)

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

Nelson K. Sewankambo spends much of his time researching Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Immunology, Public health, Medical education and Demography. His Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome research incorporates elements of Viral disease and Internal medicine, Incidence, Cohort. His Immunology study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Virology.

His study in Public health is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Developing country, Psychological intervention and Family medicine. In his research, Workforce is intimately related to Health care, which falls under the overarching field of Medical education. His Demography study incorporates themes from Condom, Cohort study, Confidence interval and Risk factor.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (25.90%)
  • Immunology (19.01%)
  • Public health (16.25%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Family medicine (11.85%)
  • Public health (16.25%)
  • Medical education (14.33%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Family medicine, Public health, Medical education, Qualitative research and Demography. His Family medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Health care, Health administration, Intervention, Cross-sectional study and Linkage. The concepts of his Public health study are interwoven with issues in Community engagement, Malaria and Action.

His Qualitative research research focuses on Clinical trial and how it relates to Malaria vaccine, RTS,S, Nursing, Developing country and Poisson regression. His Demography research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Syphilis, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Cohort study and Female sex. His work carried out in the field of Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome brings together such families of science as Psychological intervention, Logistic regression, Mental health, Prospective cohort study and Cohort.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Impact of combination HIV interventions on HIV incidence in hyperendemic fishing communities in Uganda: a prospective cohort study. (17 citations)
  • RTS,S malaria vaccine pilot studies: addressing the human realities in large-scale clinical trials. (14 citations)
  • Quantifying HIV transmission flow between high-prevalence hotspots and surrounding communities: a population-based study in Rakai, Uganda. (11 citations)

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

  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
  • Internal medicine
  • Health care

Nelson K. Sewankambo mainly focuses on Family medicine, Public health, Psychological intervention, Qualitative research and Clinical trial. His research in Family medicine focuses on subjects like Health administration, which are connected to Viral suppression, Health informatics, Grounded theory, Attendance and Viral load. His Public health research includes elements of Pharmacist, Environmental health, Snowball sampling, Community engagement and Malaria.

His Psychological intervention research integrates issues from Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Cohort study and Mental illness. Nelson K. Sewankambo performs multidisciplinary study in Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and Transmission in his work. His work deals with themes such as Global health, Prospective cohort study, Incidence and Referral, which intersect with Cohort study.
