Research Statement
Dr. Yoder's recent interests focus around interventional therapies aimed at improving short and long-term neonatal outcomes, particularly as they relate to respiratory disorders of the newborn. Active current research studies include randomized trials comparing CPAP to NIPPV for the prevention of BPD, the benefit and risks of CPAP versus HHFNC, the effect of inhaled NO for prevention of BPD in ELGAN’s, and the use of IV sildenafil in newborns with severe respiratory failure.. Additional studies involve early prediction of survival and the appropriate timing for repair with congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Finally, Dr. Yoder is very interested in the epidemiology of respiratory disorders among all gestations, particularly those born late-preterm, as well as the epidemiological factors contributing to late-preterm births. Several of these clinical research interests carry over into translational research work underway in the preterm lamb laboratory of Dr. Kurt Albertine. Dr. Yoder remains an active participant in several trials of the NICHD Neonatal Research Network.
