Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Ruiqi Cen's research focuses on public health and epidemiological studies, with a particular emphasis on maternal and child health outcomes. Recent work includes an investigation into the association between socioeconomic status and the development and severity of necrotizing enterocolitis, as well as a population-based case-control study on maternal myo-inositol intake and congenital heart defects in offspring. Cen has also examined the epidemiology of COVID-19 in infants in the United States, analyzing incidence, severity, and fatality rates. Other areas of study include disparities in birth defect-related hospitalization costs and length of stay, and the childhood educational outcomes of infants born with esophageal atresia.

Cen's scholarship metrics indicate a developing research profile, with an h-index of 7 and 523 total citations across 17 publications. Key collaborators at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences include Anthony Goudie, Mohammed S. Orloff, Jun Ying, and Chary Akmyradov, with whom Cen has co-authored multiple publications.
