About
Danica Marinac-Dabic is a leading authority in medical device epidemiology and regulatory science, with a career dedicated to advancing real-world evidence (RWE) for surgical device evaluation. Her research focuses on the safety and effectiveness of medical devices, particularly in abdominal core health and sleep-disordered breathing. In her landmark 2018 study on complications associated with surgical treatment of sleep-disordered breathing among hospitalized U.S. adults, she provided critical insights into patient safety, establishing benchmarks that inform clinical decision-making and regulatory oversight. More recently, her 2024 work on the Abdominal Core Health Quality Collaborative (ACHQC) demonstrates her pioneering role in leveraging national registries to support regulatory decisions. By documenting the value of RWE from the ACHQC, she has helped shape how hernia repair techniques and devices are evaluated for safety and efficacy, directly impacting patient outcomes and device approval processes. Her contributions have garnered significant attention, with her most-cited papers influencing both clinical practice and regulatory policy. Marinac-Dabic’s work exemplifies the integration of rigorous epidemiology into surgical innovation, making her a pivotal figure in the movement toward evidence-based medical device regulation.
