Overview

Núria Chapinal is affiliated with the Provincial Health Services Authority in Canada and specializes in medicine, with a focus on several subfields including obstetrics and gynecology, epidemiology, pediatrics, perinatology and child health, hepatology, and genetics. Their research primarily addresses maternal and fetal healthcare, pregnancy and preeclampsia studies, hepatitis C and B virus research, liver disease diagnosis and treatment, hemoglobinopathies and related disorders, as well as maternal and perinatal health interventions.

Their published work includes the following papers:

  • Concurrent Hepatitis C and B Virus and Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infections Are Associated With Higher Mortality Risk Illustrating the Impact of Syndemics on Health Outcomes, 2020, Open Forum Infectious Diseases
  • Inter-hospital variation in use of obstetrical blood transfusion: a population-based cohort study, 2020, BJOG An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology
  • Accuracy of Blood Transfusion Records in a Population-based Perinatal Data Registry, 2020, Epidemiology

Frequent co-authors in their research include:

  • Jennifer A. Hutcheon
  • Amanda Skoll
  • Nicholas Au
  • Zahid A Butt
  • Stanley Wong

The scholar's publications have appeared in several prominent venues such as:

  • Open Forum Infectious Diseases
  • Epidemiology
  • BJOG An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology

This body of work reflects a multidisciplinary approach centered around maternal and perinatal health and infectious diseases, integrating epidemiological methods to study population health outcomes related to pregnancy, blood transfusion practices, and co-infections involving hepatitis viruses and HIV. The research contributes data on health risks associated with syndemics and variation in clinical practices across hospitals.
