OverviewAI-generated summary
Purushottam B. Thapa's research has focused on the risk factors and outcomes associated with medication use in elderly populations, particularly nursing home residents. His work has investigated the relationship between psychotropic medications, including antidepressants, antipsychotics, and benzodiazepines, and adverse events such as falls and sudden cardiac death. These studies have employed retrospective designs to analyze existing data and identify specific risk factors within this demographic.
His publications also extend to other areas of health research, including a study on barriers to medication adherence in schizophrenia and an investigation into delayed immunization in children. Thapa has collaborated with several researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Richard R. Owen, Carol R. Thrush, and Erick Messias, with whom he shares multiple publications. His scholarly contributions are reflected in an h-index of 21 and over 3,000 citations across 37 publications, indicating a significant impact in his fields of study.
