Research Interests
Dr. Singh is involved in performing Cochrane reviews and network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials of biologics for rheumatoid arthritis and other therapies for rheuamtic diseases. He is also conducting studies of patient-reported outcomes in patients with various forms of arthritis, in particular osteoarthritis, joint replacement and gout. He is performing studies of comparative effectiveness of treatments used in patients with gout and joint replacement.
