His listed Scopus record contains six documents, 35 citations, and an h-index of 3. [1] The publication record supplied for this profile demonstrates activity across several interconnected methodological themes rather than a single narrowly defined clinical topic.

Research Contributions

A principal component of Egesa’s recent work concerns patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE). His research examines how PPIE is represented within sequential multiple-assignment randomized trials and target trial emulation frameworks. These studies address methodological questions concerning how patients and members of the public can participate in research processes involving complex trial structures. [2] [4]
