About
Anjum Khan is a clinician-researcher whose work illuminates the intersection of sleep medicine and surgical outcomes, with a particular focus on sleep-disordered breathing. Her most-cited study, "Complications associated with surgical treatment of sleep-disordered breathing among hospitalized U.S. adults" (2018), represents a critical contribution to perioperative safety. By analyzing national hospitalization data, Khan identified the prevalence and risk factors for adverse events following surgical interventions for conditions like obstructive sleep apnea, providing evidence-based guidance for patient selection and post-operative monitoring. This work has garnered 9 citations, establishing a foundation for safer surgical practices in a vulnerable population. Khan’s research underscores the importance of multidisciplinary care, bridging otolaryngology, sleep medicine, and anesthesiology. Her findings have informed clinical protocols aimed at reducing complications such as respiratory failure and prolonged hospital stays. For students and researchers, Khan’s work exemplifies how population-level data can translate into tangible improvements in patient safety, highlighting the need for rigorous risk stratification in sleep surgery. Her contributions continue to shape best practices in the management of sleep-disordered breathing.
