Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Charles D. Mabry's research focuses on improving trauma care systems and surgical procedure coding. He has investigated the accessibility of balanced blood products in rural trauma systems and the impact of preventable mortality reviews on provider education within state trauma systems. His work also includes developing and validating early warning system scores and analyzing longitudinal trends in the efficiency and complexity of surgical procedures using large datasets of operations.

Mabry has explored cost-effectiveness models for using low-titer "O" whole blood in community trauma centers. He has also contributed to refining Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code sets for adult and pediatric appendectomy, aiming to better reflect the complexity of these surgical interventions. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 14 with 718 total citations across 49 publications. He has collaborated with several researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Kyle J. Kalkwarf, Austin Porter, Ronald D. Robertson, and Terry Collins.
