OverviewAI-generated summary
Dala Zakaria's research focuses on pediatric cardiovascular conditions, particularly congenital heart defects. Her work has investigated factors influencing surgical outcomes in infants with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, including the impact of chromosomal abnormalities and strategies for early extubation following surgical procedures. Zakaria has also studied the prevalence and outcomes of necrotizing enterocolitis in infants with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, as well as the effectiveness of tele-echocardiography programs for statewide fetal screening. Her research has explored physiological indicators of pulmonary hypertension in infants and the risk factors for death in pediatric cardiac transplant candidates. Zakaria's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 8, with 47 total publications and 211 citations. She has collaborated extensively with colleagues at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Murad Almasri, Elijah H. Bolin, Markus S. Renno, and Joshua Daily.
