Maura Marcucci

Maura Marcucci is an Associate Professor (Part-Time) in the Department of Health Research Methods, Evidence, and Impact at McMaster University. Her work focuses on perioperative medicine, frailty assessment, cardiovascular outcomes, and surgical risk management. Dr. Marcucci is actively involved in clinical trials such as the POISE-3 randomized controlled trial evaluating tranexamic acid and hypotension management strategies. She has contributed to guidelines on remote patient monitoring and virtual care post-surgery, emphasizing technology-driven healthcare solutions.

• Education: Medical degree and advanced training in geriatrics and clinical research (details not explicitly stated in text)

Her research integrates epidemiological methods with clinical practice, addressing topics like frailty in cancer patients, postoperative cognitive dysfunction, and anticoagulation strategies. Key projects include the PVC-RAM trials exploring virtual care post-discharge and the FARGO study assessing frailty in gynecologic oncology.

Publications highlight interdisciplinary collaborations in areas such as myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery, venous thromboembolism recurrence, and the role of telemedicine in acute care. Current initiatives focus on improving outcomes through personalized perioperative care and reducing hospital readmissions.

Dr. Marcucci teaches Fundamentals of Health Research and Evaluation Methods (HTHRSM 721) and contributes to the design of cohort studies like the ArthroCaP project linking chronic pain and cognitive dysfunction after joint surgeries.
