Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Ahmed F. Shakarchi's research interests include ophthalmology, with a focus on cataract surgery outcomes, refractive error, and inherited vision and hearing loss. He has investigated the visual outcomes and complications associated with combined versus sequential cataract surgery and pars plana vitrectomy in a multicenter database study. Shakarchi also examines the risk of pseudophakic cystoid macular edema in fellow-eye cataract surgeries and the effects of intravitreal dexamethasone implants for macular edema related to retinal vein occlusion.
His work also extends to public health and medical education. Shakarchi has studied the effect of school-based vision programs on academic performance and compared noncycloplegic with cycloplegic refraction in school-aged populations. Additionally, he has developed and validated machine learning models to predict the risk of iatrogenic hypoglycemia in hospitalized patients. Shakarchi has a h-index of 14, with 69 total publications and 714 citations. He has collaborated with several colleagues at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Fatma Shakarchi, Sami H. Uwaydat, Marco H. Ji, and Ahmed Sallam.
