OverviewAI-generated summary

Ruiqi Cen's research focuses on the epidemiology and outcomes of various health conditions, with a particular emphasis on vulnerable populations. Recent publications investigate the incidence and severity of COVID-19 in infants, the association between socioeconomic status and necrotizing enterocolitis, and disparities in birth defect-related hospitalizations. Cen has also examined the impact of maternal myo-inositol intake on congenital heart defects and the long-term educational outcomes for infants born with esophageal atresia. A systematic review and meta-analysis on the predictive value of infection-related critical illness scores further demonstrates the breadth of this work.

Cen's scholarly contributions are reflected in an h-index of 6 and over 500 citations across 18 publications. Key collaborators at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences include Anthony Goudie, Mohammed S. Orloff, Chary Akmyradov, and C. Preston Pugh, with whom Cen has co-authored multiple publications. Cen remains actively engaged in research, with recent publications in 2025.
