Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Awais Riaz's research has focused on the application of systematic review and meta-analysis methodologies to investigate clinical outcomes and treatment effectiveness. His work includes a systematic review on the prognostic value of lymph node characteristics in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and a pooled analysis examining the impact of the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist on mortality after emergency laparotomy. Riaz has also contributed to studies evaluating laparoscopic procedures, including their use in appendicitis management across different income countries and in obese patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery. His research network includes collaborators such as Kenani Chiwina, Julie A. Thomas, Theresa Makawa Phiri, and Derek J. Dean, all from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications. Riaz's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 16, with 50 total publications and 859 citations.
