OverviewAI-generated summary

Rebecca Reif's research focuses on clinical outcomes and patient care within surgical and trauma settings. Her recent publications examine operative time in laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the impact of resident level on surgical procedures, and readmission rates following cholecystectomy. Reif has also investigated weight-based dosing protocols for low-molecular-weight heparin to optimize venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis in trauma patients, including those with spinal trauma. Additional work has addressed the organization of surgical intensive care units and their effect on patient outcomes, as well as the incidence of red cell antibody formation after massive transfusion protocols.

Her scholarly contributions include 22 publications with 46 citations and an h-index of 4. Reif collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Kyle J. Kalkwarf, Kevin W. Sexton, and Mary Kimbrough, as well as Hanna Jensen at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
