Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Àlex Soriano's research focuses on microbial infections and disease, with a significant emphasis on SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19. Soriano has investigated the incidence of co-infections and superinfections in hospitalized COVID-19 patients through retrospective cohort studies. Further work includes examining the association between IL-6 antagonists and mortality among hospitalized COVID-19 patients and analyzing the clinical features, ventilatory management, and outcomes of ARDS caused by COVID-19, comparing them to other causes of ARDS. The researcher has also studied the spread of SARS-CoV-2 variants and explored COVID-19 in patients with HIV through clinical case series. Additionally, Soriano's work has extended to the influence of vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration on treating methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia and has contributed to defining periprosthetic joint infection through the EBJIS definition. Soriano's research activities are supported by a substantial publication record, with 699 total publications and 26,088 total citations, contributing to an h-index of 79.
