There are about 5618 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in India. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
The purpose of this survey is to collect information for scientific research and to better understand the role of systemic inflammation in identification, treatment and management of patients with ASCVD and CKD. This study is a cross-sectional design conducted among cardiologists in United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Australia, China, India and France, treating ASCVD and CKD patients. Study participants will be recruited to complete an approximately 20-minute self-administered online survey. Recruitment will be conducted through email and phone. Data is collected though online data collection using a programmed survey.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare approaches to enterostomy reversal by hand-sewn end-to-end anastomosis versus side-to-side anastomosis (sub-divided into hand-sewn side-to-side anastomosis and stapled side-to-side anastomosis). The main question it aims to answer is: • If either of the approaches are better than the other with respect to success rates, efficacy, post-operative complications and overall morbidity. Participants admitted for stoma reversal will be divided into two groups: 1. EE: Conventional Hand-sewn end-to-end anastomosis, and 2. SS: Side-to-side anastomosis, which will be further divided into 2 sub-groups: 1. HSSA: Hand-sewn side-to-side anastomosis 2. SSSA: Stapled side-to-side anastomosis Researchers will compare the EE group to SS group overall, and a second comparison will be made between EE, HSSA and SSSA groups, to see: 1. Rates of major post-operative complications 2. Rates of short-term complications (within 30 days of surgery) 3. Rates of re-operation 4. Post-operative length of stay in the hospital

Triggerise designed web and phone based Tiko platform to connect young girls and women to the health products, services and information. The platform uses principles of behaviour economics to motivate positive choices-including rewards, promotions, discounts, coupons, reminders, alerts etc. The platform was implemented in several cities from seven states of India to provide Sexual Reproductive Health (SRH) and maternal and child health (MCH) products and services. The consumers (called Rafikis) use Tiko card to get discounts and to earn 'Tiko miles' rewards at Tiko franchised healthcare providers and pharmacies. Tiko miles are redeemable towards lifestyle products or services (e.g., beauty salons). The local Tiko health promoter (celled Pro agent) can also buy health and hygiene products at bulk discounts and sell them at profit. Triggerise appointed Network for Engineering, Economics Research and Management (NEERMAN) to conduct an independent impact assessment of the Tiko platform with multiple research objectives include health impact evaluation at the Rafiki level. NEERMAN used an ex-post observational design to compare usage of SRH and MCH services and family planning (FP), antenatal care (ANC) and postnatal care (PNC) practices by comparing Users and Non-Users of Tiko platform, and accounting for the selection bias statistically. The structured questionnaire collected data on knowledge, practices, barriers, enablers for SRH and MCH services, exposure o Tiko platform, and how it helped or did not help. The survey participants were approx. 1200 users and 600 non-users being served by approx. 350 pro-agents in their respective operations area. The association between use of Tiko platform and various outcomes were identified using a generalized linear model with fixed effects at pro-agent level and including a set of covariates. To evaluate the effect modification by type of pro agent - government community health worker (CHW) versus others - an interaction model was used. The standard errors were automatically clustered at pro-agent level due to fixed effects. Primary outcomes are proportion of married Rafikis currently using any contraceptives, currently using modern short-term contraceptives, proportion of Rafikis who delivered a child post Jan 2019 and received at least 4 ANC check-ups, consumed at least 100 iron folic acid (IFA( during pregnancy, and received a PNC check-up within 6 weeks of birth.
Total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) has emerged as a viable alternative to inhalational general anaesthesia (GA). Propofol is the preferred drug for providing TIVA due to its favorable pharmacokinetic profile, such as, rapid onset of action and a short context sensitivity half -life. There is suggestion that consumption of Propofol required during TIVA is influenced by gender with females requiring higher dose due to higher volume of distribution of drug. The evidence on gender differences in Propofol requirement for TIVA is largely based on studies done using subjective (manual titration of infusions)/semi-objective (target-controlled infusions) methods of drug administration, whose initial setting and ongoing control may be affected by attending anesthesiologist discretion and action. A recent advance in Propofol TIVA delivery is development of objective automated anaesthesia delivery systems. These systems administer Propofol titrated to patients' electroencephalogram (EEG) response reflected by processed EEG monitoring, namely the Bispectral index (BIS). One such indigenously developed automated anaesthesia delivery system is the closed-loop anaesthesia delivery system (CLADS). CLADS is a more precise and robust system to facilitate administration of Propofol TIVA, which automatically regulates the dose of medication based on feedback from patient's BIS data. The present study proposes to explore if there can be any gender differences in Propofol requirements during total intravenous anaesthesia administered by CLADS. All patients undergoing elective surgery under Propofol TIVA using CLADS will be screened, and those eligible will be enrolled. Enrolled patients will receive automated Propofol TIVA using CLADS. Demographic and clinical details including gender of patient will be noted. Cumulative dose of Propofol use will be computed through algorithm executed and monitored by software built into the CLADS. The findings will then be compared between male and female gender. Other intraoperative and post- operative outcomes such as time-to-loss of consciousness, time-to-induction of anaesthesia, anaesthesia depth consistency, performance characteristic of CLADS, hemodynamic profile (heart rate, mean arterial blood pressure), time-to-early recovery from anaesthesia, and postoperative sedation scale (modified observers' assessment of alertness/sedation scale [MOAA/S]); will be noted and compared between males and females. We expect to enroll 80 patients in our study.
Advanced ageing is accompanied by loss of reserve in multiple organ systems leading to increased risk of complications after surgery.Frailty is a functional syndrome involving reduced physiological reserve and 25-56% of all elderly surgical patients are reported to be frail .
Asia has the highest burden with the largest contribution of pneumonia burden from India. Pneumonia is also observed as 5th leading cause of deaths in India. People with diabetes with uncontrolled glucose are significantly at higher risk of development of pneumonia. Even though, pneumonia is a vaccine-preventable disease, hospitalization for pneumonia of patients with diabetes are rising. Very limited literature is available on the knowledge and practice of pneumonia vaccination among diabetologists and the rate of pneumonia vaccination received by the patients with diabetes. Hence this study aims to assess their knowledge on the same. In addition, this study also aims to identify the real barriers and facilitators of pneumococcal vaccination among diabetologists in India. A cross-sectional study will be conducted among 25diabetologists in each of the four zones in India representing all directions - North, East, West and South. Diabetologists will be selected through purposive sampling. A semi-structured questionnaire (study tool) is designed based on the existing literature that addresses our objectives. An education session on Pneumococcal vaccination will be conducted for the diabetologists through webinar after completing the survey. A post assessment will be done using the same questionnaire among the study participants after the education session in order to see an increase in the knowledge of pneumococcal vaccination.
