Anne Kamps

Anne Kamps is a Researcher in the Department of General Practice at Erasmus University Medical Center, Erasmus University Rotterdam. Her work focuses on the complex interplay between osteoarthritis and comorbid conditions through advanced epidemiological methodologies.

Her primary research interests include:

• Osteoarthritis (hip and knee)
• Comorbidity patterns in chronic disease populations
• Mendelian randomization for causal inference
• Electronic health record data mining
• Large-scale cohort analysis
• Rheumatology epidemiology

Analysis of her recent publications (2023-2025) reveals a consistent focus on causal relationships between obesity and osteoarthritis, patient stratification through comorbidity clustering, and electronic health record-based analysis of incident osteoarthritis cases. These studies predominantly employ Mendelian randomization techniques and leverage massive datasets (up to 633,330 individuals), demonstrating significant contributions to rheumatology, genetic epidemiology, and population health research. Her work frequently addresses hip/knee osteoarthritis subtypes and their associations with metabolic, cardiovascular, and mental health conditions.

Dr. Kamps maintains extensive collaborative networks across international institutions, as evidenced by her co-authorship on high-impact publications in journals such as Osteoarthritis and Cartilage Open, Rheumatology, and Arthritis Research and Therapy. While specific details about mentoring activities and grant funding are not documented in available sources, her research output indicates active participation in large-scale collaborative projects with substantial scientific impact.
