Rayan Al-Najem is a researcher affiliated with the College of Medicine at Qassim University, Saudi Arabia, working in the subject area of Medicine and Dentistry [1]. This article profiles his research activity in the context of the Best Researcher Award at the International Academic Achievements & Awards event [2].

Abstract

This article presents a neutral academic profile of Rayan Al-Najem, a researcher at the College of Medicine, Qassim University. His indexed work addresses sepsis-related mortality among adults with hypertension in the United States, using national mortality data from the CDC WONDER platform [1]. The profile summarizes his bibliometric indicators, research focus, and relevance to the Best Researcher Award [2].

Keywords

Sepsis, hypertension, mortality trends, health disparities, CDC WONDER, epidemiology, Medicine and Dentistry.

Introduction

Sepsis remains a significant cause of death worldwide, and hypertension is one of the most common chronic conditions among adults. Studying how these two conditions intersect at the population level helps clarify patterns in mortality across time and across demographic groups. Rayan Al-Najem contributes to this area of inquiry as a co-author of a study published in the Journal of the National Medical Association [1]. The journal is published by Elsevier and is available through ScienceDirect [3].

Research Profile

Al-Najem is affiliated with the College of Medicine at Qassim University in Saudi Arabia. His Scopus author record (ID 61020238900) lists one document, with no citations and an h-index of 0, which is consistent with an early-career publication record [1]. His ORCID identifier, 0009-0008-4770-4079, provides a persistent link to his scholarly activity [2].

Research Contributions

His indexed contribution examines trends and disparities in sepsis-related mortality among adults with hypertension in the United States from 1999 to 2025. The study draws on the CDC WONDER database, a publicly accessible resource for national death-certificate data, and was prepared with colleagues including Faisal Awadh Al-Harbi, Omar Khaled Ajubaili, Majed Fahad Alharbi, Yasser Ali Alhabib, and Abdulaziz AlGhulayqah [1]. Work of this kind supports public health planning by describing how mortality burden changes over time and how it differs between population groups.

Publications

  • Al-Harbi, F. A., Ajubaili, O. K., Alharbi, M. F., … Alhabib, Y. A., & AlGhulayqah, A. (2026). Trends and disparities in sepsis-related mortality among adults with hypertension in the United States, 1999–2025: A CDC WONDER analysis. Journal of the National Medical Association [1][3].

Research Impact

At the time of writing, the Scopus record shows one document and no citations [1]. Because the article was published in 2026, citation counts may change as the work becomes more widely read. The study’s topic, the burden of sepsis among a large group of adults with a common chronic condition, is relevant to clinicians, epidemiologists, and health policy researchers.

Award Suitability

The International Academic Achievements & Awards event recognizes researchers across disciplines [2]. Al-Najem’s nomination for the Best Researcher Award rests on several points:

  • Publication in a peer-reviewed medical journal indexed in Scopus [3].
  • Use of a national, openly accessible data source for population-level analysis.
  • A research topic of clear public health relevance.
  • Collaboration with multiple co-authors on a multi-decade trend analysis.

Conclusion

Rayan Al-Najem is an early-career researcher at Qassim University whose published work contributes to understanding sepsis-related mortality in adults with hypertension. His bibliometric indicators are modest, as expected at this stage, and his profile is best read as the beginning of a research record in medicine [1].
