About

Jia Li Kwek is a clinician-researcher focused on perioperative medicine and enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), with a particular emphasis on colorectal surgery. Her work investigates the intersection of surgical quality improvement and patient safety, notably through her study on acute kidney injury (AKI) within ERAS programs. In her most-cited paper, she conducted a retrospective case-control study at a Singapore tertiary hospital, identifying the prevalence, risk factors, and outcomes of AKI in colorectal surgery patients—a critical contribution given the growing global adoption of ERAS protocols. This research has garnered 9 citations and provides actionable insights for optimizing perioperative care. Kwek’s work underscores the importance of balancing accelerated recovery pathways with vigilant monitoring for complications like AKI, helping to refine ERAS implementation for safer surgical outcomes. Her contributions are particularly valuable for clinicians and researchers seeking to improve postoperative renal function in high-risk surgical populations, marking her as a thoughtful voice in the evolving field of perioperative medicine.
