OverviewAI-generated summary

Deanne King's research focuses on surgical outcomes and patient factors in otolaryngology, with a particular emphasis on head and neck reconstruction and related complications. Her work includes retrospective studies investigating predictors of adverse events, such as reoperation rates following free-flap surgery and the occurrence of postoperative chyle leaks after neck dissection. King also examines functional outcomes in specific patient populations, including older adults undergoing free-flap surgery. Her research extends to patient-centered issues, such as barriers to cochlear implantation, and specific conditions like Eagle syndrome. She has published 60 papers, accumulating 557 citations, and holds an h-index of 9. King collaborates extensively with colleagues at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Jumin Sunde, Emre Vural, James Reed Gardner, and Mauricio A. Moreno.
