Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Stroke
  • Disease

His scientific interests lie mostly in Stroke, Internal medicine, Surgery, Cardiology and Risk factor. The various areas that Ralph L. Sacco examines in his Stroke study include Physical therapy, Incidence, Epidemiology and Vascular disease. His study looks at the relationship between Incidence and fields such as Mortality rate, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His studies in Epidemiology integrate themes in fields like Disease and Gerontology. His Surgery research includes elements of Intracerebral hemorrhage, Patent foramen ovale, Diabetes mellitus and Infarction. His Risk factor study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Odds ratio and Relative risk.

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)
  • 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)
  • Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for 291 diseases and injuries in 21 regions, 1990-2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 (5887 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Stroke, Internal medicine, Cardiology, Surgery and Cohort. His study in Stroke is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Physical therapy, Epidemiology, Vascular disease and Hazard ratio. His research integrates issues of Incidence and Disease in his study of Epidemiology.

While the research belongs to areas of Internal medicine, he spends his time largely on the problem of Diabetes mellitus, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Body mass index. His Cardiology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Subclinical infection, Blood pressure and Ischemic stroke. His study in Gerontology extends to Cohort with its themes.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Stroke (55.80%)
  • Internal medicine (55.11%)
  • Cardiology (36.35%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Stroke (55.80%)
  • Internal medicine (55.11%)
  • Cardiology (36.35%)

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

His main research concerns Stroke, Internal medicine, Cardiology, Ischemic stroke and Cohort. His Stroke research integrates issues from Incidence, Cognition, Emergency medicine, Myocardial infarction and Hazard ratio. His study in Internal medicine focuses on Atrial fibrillation, Subclinical infection, Confidence interval, Aspirin and Odds ratio.

In his study, Cohort study is inextricably linked to Prospective cohort study, which falls within the broad field of Subclinical infection. His study in the field of Heart failure, Warfarin and Ejection fraction is also linked to topics like In patient. Ralph L. Sacco combines subjects such as Body mass index, Overweight, Waist, Diabetes mellitus and Dementia with his study of Cohort.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Dabigatran for Prevention of Stroke after Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source (195 citations)
  • Multiancestry genome-wide association study of 520,000 subjects identifies 32 loci associated with stroke and stroke subtypes (127 citations)
  • World Stroke Organization (WSO): Global Stroke Fact Sheet 2019. (43 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Stroke

Ralph L. Sacco mainly focuses on Internal medicine, Stroke, Cardiology, Hazard ratio and Confidence interval. His research in Stroke intersects with topics in Interquartile range, Incidence, Cohort study, Dementia and Neurology. His work investigates the relationship between Neurology and topics such as Cause of death that intersect with problems in Epidemiology.

His Cardiology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Platelet aggregation inhibitor and Magnetic resonance imaging. His Hazard ratio research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Lower risk, Proportional hazards model and Blood pressure. His work deals with themes such as Ambulatory blood pressure, Prospective cohort study, Disease and Cohort, which intersect with Odds ratio.
