Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Richard Hall's research focuses on maternal and neonatal health outcomes, with a particular emphasis on premature infants and the effects of opioid use disorder during pregnancy. He has investigated methods to reduce iatrogenic blood loss in premature infants and analyzed diaphragm position on chest radiographs to estimate lung volume in neonates. His work also extends to the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on maternal and newborn hospital outcomes, contributing to national registry data.

Dr. Hall is actively involved in clinical trials and research initiatives. He serves as PI on a $227,965 NIH/National Institute on Drug Abuse grant through the HEAL Initiative, focusing on comparative effectiveness trials for pharmacological treatments for Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 42, with 233 total publications and over 7,200 citations, designating him as a highly cited researcher.

His collaborations include work with researchers from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and within the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, such as Mario Schootman, Horace J. Spencer, Geoffrey M. Curran, and Sara J. Landes. Dr. Hall leads a research group and has recently published on topics ranging from rare disease genomic testing to manikin-to-patient intubation translation and dietary intake differences in postmenopausal women.
