Carl H. Backes conducts clinical research on extremely premature infants, with a particular focus on the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) — a blood vessel connection in the heart that normally closes after birth but can remain open in preterm babies, causing complications. His work spans PDA treatment approaches (medication, catheter-based closure, and surgery), outcomes for infants born before 24 weeks gestation, umbilical cord clamping practices, and family/caregiver experiences with congenital heart disease and preterm birth.
Publication output has fluctuated over the past decade but shows an overall increase, rising from about 7 papers per year in 2017 to a peak of 19 in 2023, with continued high output through 2025.
