Dr. Even's research profile reveals intensive investigation into abusive head trauma (100% fingerprint match), closed head injury (74%), and pediatric traumatic brain injury (51%). Her work extends to pandemic-related conditions like MIS-C and neurological manifestations in critically ill children, directly advancing UN Sustainable Development Goals for health equity. Current projects examine injury patterns in autistic children and palliative care integration within PICU settings.

Recent publications (2024-2025) demonstrate methodological rigor through retrospective analyses of burn/dog bite injuries in autism cohorts and clinical innovation via palliative screening tools. Her neurocritical care studies establish dosing protocols for seizure management and explore multiorgan failure mechanisms in traumatic brain injury, revealing strong interdisciplinary connections between neurology, trauma surgery, and developmental pediatrics.
