 Dr. Elbayomy’s research focuses on improving neurological outcomes, functional recovery, and quality of life for patients undergoing neurosurgical treatment. He aims to identify pre- and post-operative variables associated with inpatient morbidity to enhance patient safety and optimize the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of treatment strategies. 

To achieve these goals, he utilizes retrospective databases and prospective registries, applying advanced statistical modeling to investigate predictors of hospital-based morbidity and healthcare costs. He also analyzes long-term patient-reported outcomes to assess the comparative effectiveness and cost-utility of surgical interventions. 

He is currently pursuing a Master of Public Health (MPH) at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, integrating clinical insight with data analytics to explore healthcare trends, disparities, and treatment outcomes.
