Rate My Professor Susan Donath

Donath's research specializations encompass the design and analysis of quantitative health-related research studies, perinatal epidemiology, and clinical trials, particularly in paediatrics and neonatology. She is an author on more than 200 publications in refereed journals, with over 70 published in the last five years, garnering approximately 16,000 citations. Key publications include 'Baselinetable: A Command for Creating one- and Two-way Tables of Summary Statistics' (2018), 'Neonatal BCG vaccination to prevent respiratory infections in the first 5 years of life: results from the MIS BAIR randomised controlled trial' (2025), 'Neonatal Bacillus Calmette-Guérin Vaccination Decreases Eczema Incidence at 5 years: The MIS BAIR Randomised Controlled Trial' (2025), 'The SHINE Trial Statistical Analysis Plan' (2026), and 'Intratracheal budesonide mixed with surfactant... PLUSS trial statistical analysis plan' (2026). She has contributed to major trials such as PLUSS (preventing bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm infants), HIPSTER (optimising early respiratory support), MIS BAIR (BCG vaccination effects on allergy and infections), and SHINE (stabilisation during neonatal intubation). Her statistical expertise supports advancements in neonatal interventions, vaccine impacts, and paediatric reference intervals, influencing clinical practices through robust evidence from randomised controlled trials.
