He is am examining new ways to improve upon early detection and more aggressive treatment of these diseases, which cost many lives and consume tremendous health care resources. I am further interested in evaluating the number of patients who can be saved at this stage and how well were treating these patients. This is considered the epidemiology and outcomes evaluation of early critical illness.
