About

Christopher Knee is a urological outcomes researcher whose work centers on perioperative risk stratification and surgical safety in aging populations. His most influential study, "Age-stratified perioperative mortality after urological surgeries" (2018, 8 citations), provides critical insights into how advancing age impacts surgical mortality—a pressing concern as more elderly patients seek urological care. By leveraging a historical cohort from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality database, Knee’s research directly informs patient selection and preoperative counseling, helping surgeons balance the benefits and risks of procedures in older adults. This work exemplifies his broader contribution to evidence-based urology: translating large-scale surgical data into actionable risk models that improve shared decision-making. While his citation count reflects a focused, emerging impact, the clinical relevance of his findings is substantial—particularly as the global population ages and urological surgeries become more common in octogenarians and nonagenarians. Knee’s research stands at the intersection of geriatric urology and surgical quality improvement, offering a data-driven foundation for safer, more personalized care.
