Pedro Miranda Afonso serves as a Researcher in the Department of Epidemiology at Erasmus University Rotterdam's Erasmus MC. His work centers on cystic fibrosis epidemiology, lung disease progression modeling, and medical education research.
His primary research domains include Cystic Fibrosis (100% focus per fingerprint analysis), Lung Diseases (94%), COVID-19 (37%), and Patient Registries (30%). He investigates environmental determinants of lung function decline, statistical modeling approaches for clinical interpretation, and diversity in health professions education. His interdisciplinary work bridges epidemiology, biostatistics, and clinical medicine.
Analysis of his 2020-2023 publications reveals three dominant research trajectories: (1) Advanced statistical modeling of cystic fibrosis progression using patient registry data; (2) Environmental and built-environment factors affecting respiratory outcomes; (3) Educational equity in medical student selection. His work demonstrates methodological rigor in mixed-effects modeling while addressing clinically significant questions.
With 29 total research outputs (19 articles, 8 meeting abstracts, 2 preprints), his publications have generated significant scholarly attention including Scopus citations, Mendeley readership, and news/media coverage. His ORCID profile (0000-0001-6708-9597) confirms active research engagement through 2023.
