Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Allison Wells' research focuses on patient outcomes and treatment efficacy across several medical domains. Her work includes systematic reviews and meta-analyses, such as a 2021 study on patient outcomes in disorders of consciousness following transcranial magnetic stimulation. Wells has also investigated distinct trajectories of antidepressant response to intravenous ketamine, contributing to the understanding of treatment-resistant depression.

Her publications also address outcomes in surgical patient populations, including long-term survivorship after liver transplantation for patients over 70 years old and the impact of MELD 3.0 on liver-kidney transplantation disparities. Additionally, her research has examined opioid administration in surgical intensive care units and its association with persistent opioid use. Wells collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, with four shared publications with Ragesh B. Thandassery.
