Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Megha Sharma's research focuses on health disparities and outcomes in infants and young children, with a particular emphasis on racial and skin color mediated disparities in pulse oximetry. Her work also investigates determinants of health in maternal and perinatal populations, including risk factors for low birth weight and contraceptive device discontinuation. Sharma has published on various medical topics, including the role of PCSK9 inhibitors, gene association studies in neonatal sepsis, and pulmonary vasodilator therapy in persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn. She has also examined the diagnostic potential of specific tests for tubercular lymphadenitis and the use of dynamic computed tomography for evaluating tracheobronchomalacia in premature infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 11, with 65 total publications and 309 total citations.
