Research Contributions

Rachel R. Abdo has made significant contributions to the field of epidemiology, focusing on the economic impact of diseases and healthcare costs. Her research includes the study of antibiotic resistance, particularly in urinary tract infections caused by Escherichia coli, and the healthcare costs associated with antimicrobial resistance in Lebanon. Additionally, she has investigated stroke management and outcomes in Lebanon, analyzing the direct medical costs and predictors of mortality post-stroke. Her work is crucial in understanding the financial implications of disease management and the burden of antibiotic resistance in healthcare systems.
