Janne Kristin Hofstad

Janne Kristin Hofstad serves as Assistant Professor at NTNU's Department of Public Health and Nursing (Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences), concurrently completing her PhD in 2024. Her clinical research is anchored at St. Olavs Hospital, focusing on orthopedic surgery outcomes.

Research interests center on postoperative pain dynamics in fast-track arthroplasty, with specific expertise in opioid consumption patterns, local anesthesia efficacy, and patient-reported recovery metrics. Her methodology prioritizes prospective cohort designs and randomized trials within hip/knee replacement pathways.

Publication trends (2015-2025) demonstrate evolving scale from small RCTs (n=96 in 2022) to large registries (n=7330 in 2025), consistently comparing hip versus knee outcomes while integrating digital follow-up tools.

No scientific awards are documented in the source material.

Though student mentorship isn't explicitly recorded, her collaborative work involves orthopedic, anesthesia, and nursing teams at St. Olavs Hospital. Research appears institutionally funded through NTNU-St. Olavs clinical partnerships rather than discrete grants.

She contributes to St. Olavs' Fast-Track Orthopedic Program, particularly in preoperative preparation simulation and post-discharge monitoring systems.
