Big Data in Neurocritical Care

Submissions are open for the Topical Collection on “Big Data in Neurocritical Care” We are calling for original submissions covering all aspects of how big data methodologies can impact research and promote scientific advances in the field of Neurocritical care. Some themes for scientific papers may include: Data harmonization and data curation in the neuro-intensive care unit Data sharing to aid big data research for brain injury and coma Extraction of relevant phenotypes from electronic health records, physiology/waveforms, and imaging Integration of genomic and other biologic data with clinical outcomes to understand brain injury incl. applied bioinformatics Application of big datasets to aid in prediction and prognostication after coma and brain injury. Papers can be submitted via Editorial Manager by selecting the the relevant Topical Collection title. Please note: all submissions will be evaluated for relevance to the “Big Data in Neurocritical Care” theme and undergo a regular peer review process.

  • Rajat Dhar

    Professor of Neurology in the Section of Neurocritical Care at Washington University School of Medicine and Neuro-Intensivist at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in Saint Louis, Missouri. His NIH-funded research focuses on integrating imaging approaches to quantifying brain injury after stroke with genetics to better understand disease processes such as cerebral edema. He is ex-chair of the Translational Science Committee for the Neurocritical Care Society annual meeting and director of an annual workshop on bioinformatics at this meeting.

  • Geert Meyfroidt

    Professor of Medicine at the University of Leuven & Consultant Intensivist at the University Hospitals Leuven in Belgium. He is funded by the Flemish Government as Senior Clinical Investigator. Current research projects include: data mining and predictive modeling in neuro-intensive care and acute kidney injury; clinical and laboratory studies on cerebrovascular autoregulation; ketamine and brain injury. He is past-President of the Belgian Society of Intensive Care Medicine, past-Chair of the Neuro-Intensive Care section of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine, and Section Editor of Intensive Care Medicine.
