Dr. Aunel Mallier Peter

Aunel Mallier Peter is a researcher in anaesthesiology and perioperative medicine, with a strong focus on surgical outcomes in South Africa and across the African continent. Affiliated with institutions contributing to major multicentre collaborations, this scholar has played a role in advancing understanding of perioperative risk, mortality, and quality improvement in resource-variable settings.

Research contributions centre on risk stratification and clinical prediction modelling for in-hospital surgical mortality, notably through work linked to the African Surgical Outcomes Study and publications in leading international journals. These studies examine determinants of postoperative complications, contextual influences on care delivery, and the development of tools to support risk-adjusted outcome reporting and policy planning.

Additional expertise includes anaesthetic management of complex conditions such as valvular heart disease in non-cardiac surgery. Although based on a limited number of available publications, the body of work reflects strengths in collaborative research, epidemiological analysis, and efforts to improve perioperative safety and systems of surgical care in Africa.
