Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery
  • Antibiotics

His primary areas of study are Intensive care medicine, Internal medicine, Surgery, Microbiology and Staphylococcus aureus. The concepts of his Intensive care medicine study are interwoven with issues in Epidemiology and Incidence. Richard P. Wenzel regularly links together related areas like Bacteremia in his Internal medicine studies.

In his study, Clinical trial and Adverse effect is inextricably linked to Placebo, which falls within the broad field of Surgery. His Microbiology research includes elements of Vancomycin and Mycosis. Richard P. Wenzel interconnects Antibiotics and Antibacterial agent in the investigation of issues within Staphylococcus aureus.

His most cited work include:

  • Nosocomial Bloodstream Infections in US Hospitals: Analysis of 24,179 Cases from a Prospective Nationwide Surveillance Study (3303 citations)
  • The Natural History of the Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS): A Prospective Study (1793 citations)
  • Nosocomial bloodstream infection in critically ill patients. Excess length of stay, extra costs, and attributable mortality. (1333 citations)

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

His main research concerns Intensive care medicine, Microbiology, Internal medicine, Infection control and Surgery. His studies in Intensive care medicine integrate themes in fields like Epidemiology, Antibiotics and Health care. His Microbiology research incorporates elements of Vancomycin and Staphylococcus aureus.

His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Bacteremia and Placebo. His Bacteremia study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Mortality rate and Blood culture. His Surgery research incorporates themes from Relative risk and Incidence.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Intensive care medicine (27.43%)
  • Microbiology (23.76%)
  • Internal medicine (19.01%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2004-2021)?

  • Intensive care medicine (27.43%)
  • Internal medicine (19.01%)
  • Infection control (18.14%)

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

Richard P. Wenzel mainly investigates Intensive care medicine, Internal medicine, Infection control, Antibiotics and Microbiology. His studies in Intensive care medicine integrate themes in fields like Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Clinical trial and Health care. His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Bacteremia, Surgery and Hygiene.

The various areas that Richard P. Wenzel examines in his Surgery study include Mupirocin, Risk factor and Staphylococcus aureus. The study incorporates disciplines such as Vancomycin, Linezolid, Randomized controlled trial and Drug resistance in addition to Antibiotics. His studies deal with areas such as Intensive care unit and Emergency medicine as well as Intensive care.

Between 2004 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Mupirocin ointment for preventing Staphylococcus aureus infections in nasal carriers. (196 citations)
  • Nosocomial bloodstream infections due to Candida spp. in the USA: species distribution, clinical features and antifungal susceptibilities (183 citations)
  • Intranasal mupirocin for reduction of Staphylococcus aureus infections in surgical patients with nasal carriage: a systematic review (165 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery
  • Antibiotics

Intensive care medicine, Antibiotics, Staphylococcus aureus, Surgery and Internal medicine are his primary areas of study. His Intensive care medicine study combines topics in areas such as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Clinical trial, Health care and Public health. His Antibiotics research includes themes of Vancomycin, Randomized controlled trial, Mycosis and Number needed to treat.

Richard P. Wenzel has researched Surgery in several fields, including Mass screening, Mupirocin, Immune system and Risk factor. Septic shock, Sepsis and Retrospective cohort study are among the areas of Internal medicine where the researcher is concentrating his efforts. As a part of the same scientific family, Richard P. Wenzel mostly works in the field of Septic shock, focusing on Univariate analysis and, on occasion, Bacteremia.
