| Dr. Dale Hesdorffer’s work is divided between studies of convulsive disorders and studies of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Recently, her focus is on the co-morbidity of epilepsy and psychiatric disorders through a case-control study of incident unprovoked seizure and epilepsy in Iceland. For the past five years, she has been the principal investigator of an NIH-funded study of the epidemiology of brain abnormalities among children with febrile seizures, and currently leads a relate subcontract for an NIH-funded study of outcomes following febrile status epilepticus. Most recently, she has embarked on a CDC-funded study of the incidence of unprovoked seizures and epilepsy in Washington Heights and Inwood. She has been the lead investigator of a Brain Trauma Foundation grant, involving several projects, including a prospective cohort study of outcome predictors after severe traumatic brain injury, a survey of compliance with acute care guidelines in trauma centers across the United States, and a quality improvement program for the acute management of severe TBI in New York State. She also serves as a co-investigator for an NIH-funded data-coordinating center for clinical trials in TBI, where she directs the data input unit.
