About
Aurora Pop‐Vicas is a leading infectious disease epidemiologist whose research focuses on healthcare-associated infections, antimicrobial stewardship, and infection prevention in surgical and hospital settings. Her work has significantly advanced the understanding of risk factors and incidence of surgical site infections (SSIs), particularly in gynecologic procedures. Her most-cited study, "Incidence and risk factors for surgical site infection post-hysterectomy in a tertiary care center" (2016, 38 citations), provides critical data on patient-specific and procedural risks, guiding evidence-based prevention strategies to reduce postoperative complications. Beyond this, Pop‐Vicas has contributed to broader efforts in antimicrobial resistance surveillance and the optimization of perioperative antibiotic use, directly impacting clinical guidelines and patient safety protocols. Her research is widely referenced by clinicians and hospital epidemiologists seeking to mitigate SSI burdens in high-risk populations. Through her meticulous analyses and practical recommendations, Pop‐Vicas has established herself as a key voice in infection control, helping to shape safer surgical practices and more effective stewardship programs in tertiary care centers.
