Stefan van Beek

Stefan van Beek is a Researcher at the Department of Anesthesiology within Erasmus MC – University Medical Center Rotterdam, affiliated with Erasmus University Rotterdam. His work focuses on clinical prediction models, postoperative recovery, and anesthesia-related outcomes. He completed his doctoral thesis in 2025 titled 'Premedication and quality recovery,' exploring pharmacological interventions and recovery trajectories.

Key research interests include developing and validating prediction models for surgical recovery quality, analyzing healthcare data (e.g., colonoscopy audits), and evaluating anesthetic agents like midazolam. His contributions span peer-reviewed articles and collaborative projects across gastroenterology, anesthesiology, and healthcare analytics.

Notable outputs include a 2024 study on predicting recovery outcomes and a 2020 randomized trial assessing midazolam's impact on postoperative recovery. Collaborations involve institutions like the Dutch Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Audit network and interdisciplinary teams at Erasmus MC.
