Bernard Schockaert, MD

West-Vlaanderen, Belgium

Bernard Schockaert, MD, is an anesthesiologist–intensivist at AZ Delta (Roeselare, Belgium) and a PhD candidate at Erasmus MC (Rotterdam, Netherlands). His doctoral research focuses on outcomes after extended postoperative recovery and enhanced perioperative care pathways, with an emphasis on risk stratification, triage, and systems efficiency. He leads the multicentre CARACAS project examining characteristics and outcomes of patients admitted to postoperative enhanced care units.
Dr. Schockaert’s clinical and research interests span perioperative myocardial injury (PMI), point-of-care ultrasound, and cardiovascular complications after non-cardiac surgery. He has conducted cohort studies on PMI aetiology and prognosis, contributes to validation of ICU/EPC scoring systems (e.g., APACHE, OASIS, LODS), and authored a systematic review and meta-analysis on ventricular global longitudinal strain in sepsis and septic shock, published in the European Journal of Anaesthesiology. He is experienced in advanced analytics (Kaplan–Meier/Cox models, mixed-effects and machine-learning approaches) and promotes transparent, guideline-concordant research (PRISMA, STROBE, PROSPERO).
