Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Virus

William Schaffner focuses on Pediatrics, Outbreak, Vaccination, Microbiology and Incidence. William Schaffner combines subjects such as Epidemiology, Health care, Viral disease, Confidence interval and Disease with his study of Pediatrics. His Outbreak study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Transmission and Intensive care medicine.

His Vaccination study deals with the bigger picture of Immunology. He interconnects Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus aureus and Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis in the investigation of issues within Microbiology. The Incidence study combines topics in areas such as Meningitis, Neisseria meningitidis, Meningococcal disease, Demography and Bacterial pneumonia.

His most cited work include:

  • Changes in Neisseria meningitidis disease epidemiology in the United States, 1998-2007: implications for prevention of meningococcal disease. (315 citations)
  • Increasing Burden of Invasive Group B Streptococcal Disease in Nonpregnant Adults, 1990–2007 (300 citations)
  • A study of antipsychotic drug use in nursing homes: epidemiologic evidence suggesting misuse. (256 citations)

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

William Schaffner spends much of his time researching Pediatrics, Vaccination, Epidemiology, Internal medicine and Outbreak. His work carried out in the field of Pediatrics brings together such families of science as Pneumonia, Viral disease, Serotype, Confidence interval and Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. William Schaffner works mostly in the field of Vaccination, limiting it down to concerns involving Family medicine and, occasionally, Health care.

His Epidemiology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Incidence and Disease. His research investigates the connection with Internal medicine and areas like Intensive care medicine which intersect with concerns in Sepsis. His Outbreak research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Microbiology and Environmental health.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Pediatrics (26.15%)
  • Vaccination (17.53%)
  • Epidemiology (14.94%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Pediatrics (26.15%)
  • Incidence (12.64%)
  • Vaccination (17.53%)

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

His main research concerns Pediatrics, Incidence, Vaccination, Internal medicine and Epidemiology. William Schaffner has included themes like Seasonal influenza, Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and Pneumonia in his Pediatrics study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Invasive group, Demography, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Risk factor in addition to Incidence.

His Vaccination study incorporates themes from Comorbidity, Health care and Environmental health. His Environmental health research integrates issues from Outbreak and Public health. William Schaffner studied Epidemiology and Disease that intersect with Haemophilus influenzae.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Hospitalization Rates and Characteristics of Children Aged <18 Years Hospitalized with Laboratory-Confirmed COVID-19 - COVID-NET, 14 States, March 1-July 25, 2020. (115 citations)
  • Effectiveness of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine for prevention of invasive pneumococcal disease in children in the USA: a matched case-control study (104 citations)
  • Influenza Vaccination Modifies Disease Severity Among Community-dwelling Adults Hospitalized With Influenza (77 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Virus

William Schaffner mainly investigates Pediatrics, Internal medicine, Incidence, Vaccination and Epidemiology. His research in Pediatrics intersects with topics in Medical record, Pneumonia, Public health, Treatment Refusal and Vitamin k. His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Serotype and Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.

His Incidence study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Hospitalized patients, Blood culture and Conjugate vaccine. His study in Vaccination is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Immunosenescence, Interquartile range and Intensive care unit. His biological study deals with issues like Disease, which deal with fields such as Group B and Antibiotic prophylaxis.
