Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Derek Krinock's research focuses on pediatric gastrointestinal and surgical conditions, with a particular emphasis on choledocholithiasis. He has investigated treatment approaches for this condition in children, including comparing "surgery first" versus "endoscopy first" strategies and analyzing the impact of reducing MRCP utilization. Krinock has also examined patient safety and radiation exposure related to laparoscopic common bile duct exploration. His work extends to other pediatric surgical issues, such as adnexal torsion, where he studies factors associated with delayed care. Additionally, Krinock has contributed to research on COVID-19 outcomes in transplant recipients and the impact of allocation policies on liver transplantation waitlists. He has authored 27 publications, with an h-index of 7 and 143 citations. Krinock collaborates with several colleagues at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Lindsey L. Wolf, Allison Wells, Lyle Burdine, and Robert J. Vandewalle.
