Introduction
Research in hepatology and liver medicine encompasses complex interactions between chronic liver disease, portal hypertension, transplantation, vascular interventions, and complications such as gastrointestinal bleeding. Contemporary clinical investigation in these areas frequently combines patient outcomes, procedural variables, diagnostic imaging, and translational approaches. The publications supplied for this profile place Adnan Said within this multidisciplinary research environment, with several studies examining outcomes associated with TIPS and liver transplantation. [2]
Research Profile
The supplied bibliometric information identifies Adnan Said as a medicine researcher with a Scopus author identifier of 35582909600. The stated profile includes 107 documents, 5,510 citations, and an h-index of 35. These indicators describe the publication and citation record supplied for this recognition page and should be interpreted in the context of the coverage, indexing practices, author-disambiguation procedures, and update timing of the relevant database. [1]
The supplied publications demonstrate substantial collaborative authorship. The listed studies involve investigators from different clinical and research specialties and include multi-author ALTA Group investigations. Such collaboration is particularly relevant to complex liver-care research, where procedural outcomes, patient characteristics, imaging, transplantation, and clinical management may require integrated expertise.
Research Contributions
The supplied publications identify several recurring research themes. One area concerns outcomes following TIPS, a procedure used in the management of selected complications of portal hypertension. A 2025 ALTA Group study examined portal hypertensive gastropathy and MELD-Na score in relation to recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding after TIPS. [1]
Another contribution concerns changes in platelet count following TIPS creation. The 2023 study was conducted by the ALTA Group and investigated platelet-count changes after the procedure, contributing to the broader evaluation of physiological and clinical outcomes associated with TIPS. [2]

Research Impact
The supplied Scopus metrics of 5,510 citations and an h-index of 35 provide bibliometric measures of the visibility and citation history associated with the identified author profile. [1] Bibliometric indicators are quantitative measures and do not independently establish the clinical effectiveness, methodological quality, or practical significance of individual studies.
Within the supplied publication sample, the research addresses clinically relevant questions concerning TIPS, portal hypertension, gastrointestinal bleeding, hemodynamic factors, liver fibrosis imaging, and transplantation. The combination of clinical studies, collaborative group research, and translational investigation indicates engagement with multiple dimensions of liver medicine. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
Award Suitability
For the purposes of the International Popular Scientist Awards, the supplied record provides several documented elements relevant to an academic recognition profile: a substantial indexed publication record, reported citation activity, an h-index of 35, and research contributions in medicine. The selected publications demonstrate work in liver-related clinical and translational research, including TIPS outcomes, portal hypertension, liver fibrosis imaging, and transplantation. [1]–[5]
Conclusion
Adnan Said’s supplied academic profile represents a research portfolio in medicine with notable emphasis on hepatology, liver-related interventions, transplantation, portal hypertension, and translational imaging. The stated Scopus record comprises 107 documents, 5,510 citations, and an h-index of 35. The selected publications further document participation in collaborative investigations addressing TIPS outcomes, gastrointestinal bleeding, platelet changes, hemodynamics, liver fibrosis, and transplantation.
