OverviewAI-generated summary

Rebecca Reif's research focuses on patient outcomes and treatment protocols, particularly within surgical and trauma care settings. Her work has investigated the safety and efficacy of weight-based dosing for low-molecular-weight heparin to achieve optimal venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis in trauma patients, including those with spinal trauma. She has also examined factors associated with operative time in laparoscopic cholecystectomy and characterized readmissions and bile duct repairs following cholecystectomy using national databases. Reif's publications include studies on the incidence of red cell antibody formation following massive transfusion protocols and the organization of surgical intensive care units to improve patient outcomes. Collaborations include work with Kyle J. Kalkwarf and Kevin W. Sexton at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, and Hanne Jensen at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
