Her research has been cited over 20,000 times, reflecting profound impact on both clinical guidelines and patient outcomes. A distinguished professor at the University of Auckland, she co-authored the influential textbook *Clinical Evidence* and served as editor-in-chief of the Cochrane Collaboration’s Menstrual Disorders and Subfertility Group.
