Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Surgery
  • Health care
  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome

His primary areas of investigation include Demography, Gerontology, Years of potential life lost, Global health and Life expectancy. Specifically, his work in Demography is concerned with the study of Mortality rate. His work carried out in the field of Gerontology brings together such families of science as Disability-adjusted life year, Disease burden, Communicable disease and Environmental health.

In most of his Global health studies, his work intersects topics such as Population health. His work on Life expectancy is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Epidemiological transition. In Verbal autopsy, Nicholas J. Kassebaum works on issues like Pediatrics, which are connected to Child mortality.

His most cited work include:

  • Global and regional mortality from 235 causes of death for 20 age groups in 1990 and 2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 (8830 citations)
  • A comparative risk assessment of burden of disease and injury attributable to 67 risk factors and risk factor clusters in 21 regions, 1990-2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 (7776 citations)
  • Global, regional, and national incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability for 301 acute and chronic diseases and injuries in 188 countries, 1990-2013: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (6156 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Global health, Demography, Environmental health, Mortality rate and Life expectancy. As a part of the same scientific family, Nicholas J. Kassebaum mostly works in the field of Global health, focusing on Standardized mortality ratio and, on occasion, Reproductive health. His research in Demography intersects with topics in Verbal autopsy, Cause of death, Years of potential life lost and Birth rate.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Disability-adjusted life year, Gerontology and Population health. His study in Environmental health is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Burden of disease and Disease burden. Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Child mortality under Mortality rate, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Infant mortality.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Global health (48.35%)
  • Demography (45.05%)
  • Environmental health (51.65%)

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

  • Demography (45.05%)
  • Pandemic (7.69%)
  • Burnout (7.69%)

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

Nicholas J. Kassebaum spends much of his time researching Demography, Pandemic, Burnout, Family medicine and Disease burden. The Mortality rate research he does as part of his general Demography study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Risk factor, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His research integrates issues of Verbal autopsy and Birth rate in his study of Mortality rate.

The concepts of his Disease burden study are interwoven with issues in Years of potential life lost, Per capita and Population health. The Years of potential life lost study which covers Population ageing that intersects with Cause of death. His Population health study which covers Global health that intersects with Burden of disease.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Global Burden of Cardiovascular Diseases and Risk Factors, 1990–2019: Update From the GBD 2019 Study (83 citations)
  • Global age-sex-specific fertility, mortality, healthy life expectancy (HALE), and population estimates in 204 countries and territories, 1950–2019: a comprehensive demographic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 (41 citations)
  • Measuring universal health coverage based on an index of effective coverage of health services in 204 countries and territories, 1990-2019 : a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019. (39 citations)

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

  • Surgery
  • Health care
  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome

Nicholas J. Kassebaum mainly investigates Case fatality rate, Demography, Mortality rate, Population health and Disease burden. The various areas that Nicholas J. Kassebaum examines in his Case fatality rate study include Verbal autopsy, Health policy and Environmental health. Environmental health and Global health are commonly linked in his work.

Much of his study explores Global health relationship to Burden of disease. The Demography study combines topics in areas such as Life expectancy, Demographic transition, Demographic change and Demographic analysis. His Population health research includes themes of Years of potential life lost and Per capita.
