Dr. Sagberg's research focuses on neurosurgical outcomes, particularly for patients with brain tumors including gliomas, glioblastomas, and meningiomas. Her work spans multiple critical areas:

• Evaluation of surgical techniques and their impact on patient outcomes
• Analysis of tumor location effects on cognitive function and quality of life
• Development and validation of assessment tools for surgical outcomes
• Investigation of prognostic factors including tumor size, shape, and resection extent
• Longitudinal studies tracking patient-reported outcomes before and after surgery

Her publication record demonstrates a strong focus on translating clinical neurosurgery research into practical applications that improve patient care. Recent work has increasingly incorporated advanced imaging techniques and artificial intelligence approaches to tumor assessment, with significant contributions to automated segmentation methods and quantitative analysis of tumor characteristics. She completed her doctoral dissertation in 2018 titled 'Assessment of surgery-related morbidity in patients with diffuse gliomas' at NTNU.

Dr. Sagberg frequently collaborates with a core group of researchers including Ole Solheim, Asgeir Jakola, Ingerid Reinertsen, and others at NTNU's neurosurgical department. Her work often involves large, prospective cohort studies and population-based analyses that provide robust evidence for clinical decision-making, with publications appearing in high-impact journals including Journal of Neurosurgery, Acta Neurochirurgica, and Neuro-Oncology Advances.
