Dr. Akhtar's seminal 2023 work established a significant association between Pyoderma Gangrenosum and heightened risk of inflammatory pouch-related complications in IBD patients post-ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. Published in Crohn's and Colitis 360, this retrospective cohort study demonstrates how dermatological conditions exacerbate surgical outcomes, influencing multidisciplinary IBD management approaches. The research has prompted clinical discussions on monitoring high-risk patients.
Her Scopus profile indicates an h-index of 2 with 1 total citation, reflecting early-career scholarly impact.
