Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Statistics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Activities of daily living, Gerontology, Physical therapy, Prospective cohort study and Cohort study. The concepts of his Activities of daily living study are interwoven with issues in Community living, Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Cohort and Confidence interval. He studies Geriatric assessment, a branch of Gerontology.

The Physical therapy study combines topics in areas such as Intervention, Randomized controlled trial, Psychological intervention and Hazard ratio. His Prospective cohort study research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Critical illness, Absolute risk reduction, Mechanical ventilation and Intensive care unit. His Cohort study research incorporates themes from Incidence and Postural Balance.

His most cited work include:

  • A critical appraisal of the quality of quality-of-life measurements (1838 citations)
  • A standard procedure for creating a frailty index (1286 citations)
  • Effect of Structured Physical Activity on Prevention of Major Mobility Disability in Older Adults: The LIFE Study Randomized Clinical Trial (741 citations)

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

Gerontology, Physical therapy, Activities of daily living, Prospective cohort study and Internal medicine are his primary areas of study. His work carried out in the field of Gerontology brings together such families of science as Psychological intervention, Longitudinal study, Cognition, Public health and Geriatrics. His Physical therapy research incorporates elements of Intervention, Randomized controlled trial, Hazard ratio, Confidence interval and Health education.

His Activities of daily living research integrates issues from Epidemiology, Cohort study, Demography, Community living and Cohort. His Cohort study research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Depression and Risk factor. His work on Testosterone is typically connected to Spirometry as part of general Internal medicine study, connecting several disciplines of science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Gerontology (40.68%)
  • Physical therapy (28.57%)
  • Activities of daily living (28.57%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Internal medicine (14.53%)
  • Longitudinal study (8.72%)
  • Gerontology (40.68%)

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

Thomas M. Gill spends much of his time researching Internal medicine, Longitudinal study, Gerontology, Confidence interval and Hazard ratio. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Longitudinal study, Sudden death is strongly linked to Cohort. His Gerontology research focuses on Cognition and how it relates to Value and Health education.

His Confidence interval study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Physical therapy, Interquartile range, Incidence and Medicaid. The Hazard ratio study combines topics in areas such as Emergency department and Clinical trial. His Prospective cohort study study deals with Activities of daily living intersecting with Cognitive impairment.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Moving Frailty Toward Clinical Practice: NIA Intramural Frailty Science Symposium Summary (44 citations)
  • Thirty-Day Readmission Risk Model for Older Adults Hospitalized With Acute Myocardial Infarction (18 citations)
  • A Randomized Trial of a Multifactorial Strategy to Prevent Serious Fall Injuries (16 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Statistics

His main research concerns Injury prevention, Interquartile range, Gerontology, Occupational safety and health and Demography. His research integrates issues of Subspecialty, Research program, Intervention, Cognition and Geroscience in his study of Gerontology. His Demography study incorporates themes from Life expectancy and Cohort.

His Geriatrics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Epidemiology, Activities of daily living, Emergency medicine, Myocardial infarction and Heart rate. Thomas M. Gill integrates Angiotensin Receptor Antagonists and Physical therapy in his studies. He has included themes like Transitional care and Medical illness in his Physical therapy study.
