About
Shu Qi Tham is a clinical researcher whose work sits at the critical intersection of perioperative medicine and renal health. Her primary research focus is on acute kidney injury (AKI) within Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) protocols, particularly in colorectal surgery. Her most cited paper, a retrospective case-control study conducted at a Singapore tertiary hospital, investigates the prevalence, risk factors, and outcomes of AKI in patients undergoing colorectal surgery within an ERAS program. This work is significant because it challenges the assumption that modern, fluid-restrictive ERAS pathways are universally safe, revealing that AKI remains a tangible risk. By identifying specific perioperative factors that contribute to renal injury, Tham’s research provides actionable insights for clinicians to refine ERAS protocols, balancing the benefits of accelerated recovery with the need for renal protection. Her findings have been cited 9 times, demonstrating their relevance to surgeons and anesthesiologists seeking to optimize patient safety. Tham’s work is a vital contribution to the ongoing effort to make enhanced recovery programs both effective and safe for all patients.
