Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Disease
  • Internal medicine
  • Virus

Robert Booy spends much of his time researching Pediatrics, Vaccination, Immunology, Meningococcal disease and Disease. His Pediatrics study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Odds ratio, Epidemiology, Intensive care and Environmental health. His Vaccination study is concerned with the field of Virology as a whole.

His work deals with themes such as Haemophilus influenzae and Intramuscular injection, which intersect with Immunology. His Meningococcal disease research includes elements of Meningitis, Pathogenesis, Case-control study, Meningococcal vaccine and Risk factor. His Disease research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Herd immunity, Case fatality rate, Young adult and Public health.

His most cited work include:

  • School closure and management practices during coronavirus outbreaks including COVID-19: a rapid systematic review. (517 citations)
  • Vaccination greatly reduces disease, disability, death and inequity worldwide (511 citations)
  • Effectiveness of neuraminidase inhibitors in reducing mortality in patients admitted to hospital with influenza A H1N1pdm09 virus infection: a meta-analysis of individual participant data. (391 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Pediatrics, Vaccination, Virology, Immunology and Hajj. Robert Booy combines subjects such as Epidemiology, Disease, Incidence and Meningococcal disease with his study of Pediatrics. His Epidemiology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Demography and Intensive care medicine.

His work in Meningococcal disease addresses issues such as Outbreak, which are connected to fields such as Oseltamivir. His research integrates issues of Internal medicine, Immunization, Conjugate vaccine and Haemophilus influenzae in his study of Vaccination. His research in Virology intersects with topics in Pandemic and Microbiology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Pediatrics (45.71%)
  • Vaccination (45.49%)
  • Virology (29.18%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Vaccination (45.49%)
  • Pediatrics (45.71%)
  • Hajj (30.04%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Vaccination, Pediatrics, Hajj, Family medicine and Epidemiology. He studies Influenza vaccine which is a part of Vaccination. His Pediatrics research incorporates themes from Encephalitis, Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis, Disease and Incidence.

Robert Booy has included themes like Quality of life, Educational interventions, One Health and Hygiene in his Family medicine study. The Case fatality rate research Robert Booy does as part of his general Epidemiology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Modified delphi, Australian bat lyssavirus and Risk management, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His study in Transmission is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Outbreak and Environmental health.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • School closure and management practices during coronavirus outbreaks including COVID-19: a rapid systematic review. (517 citations)
  • Susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 Infection Among Children and Adolescents Compared With Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. (157 citations)
  • A Prospective Study of the Incidence of Juvenile-Onset Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis After Implementation of a National HPV Vaccination Program. (48 citations)

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

  • Disease
  • Internal medicine
  • Virus

Robert Booy mostly deals with Pediatrics, Epidemiology, Hajj, Vaccination and Disease. His studies in Pediatrics integrate themes in fields like Incidence, Meta-analysis, Encephalitis, Varicella zoster virus and Prospective cohort study. His Epidemiology research incorporates elements of One Health, Educational interventions and General knowledge.

Influenza vaccine is the focus of his Vaccination research. His studies examine the connections between Disease and genetics, as well as such issues in Immunology, with regards to Pneumococcal vaccine. His work investigates the relationship between Meningitis and topics such as Streptococcus pneumoniae that intersect with problems in Virology.
