There are about 187 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Kuwait. 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.
Primary objective: To assess the disease control of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis in patients aged 12 years and above treated with dupilumab therapy using Atopic Dermatitis Control Tool (ADCT) after 24 weeks of treatment. Secondary objectives: - To figure the proportion of patients with reduction of ADCT score by 5 points after 4, 12, and 24 weeks of treatment. - To figure the proportion of patients with ADCT score less than 7 at weeks 4, 12, and 24. - Assess the effectiveness of dupilumab in moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD) patients, using the severity score as routine practice SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD). - To describe comorbidities related to type 2 inflammation. - To characterize the safety profile of dupilumab in the local Gulf population. - To evaluate treatment satisfaction in the local Gulf population.
Early identification of a patient with infection who may develop sepsis is of utmost importance. Unfortunately, this remains elusive because no single clinical measure or test can reflect complex pathophysiological changes in patients with sepsis. However, multiple clinical and laboratory parameters indicate impending sepsis and organ dysfunction. Screening tools using these parameters can help identify the condition, such as SIRS, quick SOFA (qSOFA), National Early Warning Score (NEWS), or Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS). The 2016 SCCM/ESICM task force recommended using qSOFA, while the 2021 Surviving Sepsis Campaign strongly recommended against its use compared with SIRS, NEWS, or MEWS as a single screening tool for sepsis or septic shock. We hypothesised that qSOFA has greater prognostic accuracy than SIRS and EWS (NEWS/NEWS2/MEWS).
To maximise the accessibility and benefit of PARP inhibitors to eligible patients, it is essential to know the prevalence of HRD in women with advanced high-grade serous or endometrioid ovarian cancer. Presently, the prevalence data for HRD are available from selected geographies only and range from 31% to 50%. Furthermore, the risk factors associated with HRD and clinical characteristics of patients with HRD need exploration for region-specific differences. In the present study, we will estimate the region- and country-specific prevalence of HRD in women with stage III or IV high-grade serous or endometrioid ovarian, primary peritoneal, and/or fallopian tube cancer and associated risk factors with clinical characteristics in Asia-Pacific countries, Latin America, Africa, Russia, Australia, and Middle East countries. The findings of the study will help the oncologists in optimal patient selection and clinical decision-making for the first-line maintenance of patients with HGSOC
In Kuwait, the total number of COVID-19 confirmed cases exceeds 5000 patients. Risk factors of possible risk factors of confirmed COVID-19 infection that developed major organ dysfunction are not yet identified among patients in Kuwait. we aimed to describe the clinical characteristics of hospitalized symptomatic COVID-19 positive patients, assess possible risk factors of confirmed COVID-19 infection who developed major organ dysfunction, determine risk factors for renal dysfunction and their outcome and assess the response of critically ill patients to different therapeutic modalities.
A Multicenter Retrospective Study to understand the clinical characteristics, treatment pathway and resource utilization for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia A retrospective, multi-centre, observational study to describe disease characteristics, treatment patterns, treatment-related outcomes, and resource utilization for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) patients in multiple international regions
The purpose of the current study was to compare the visual performance after bilateral implantation of the Panoptix IOL , or the AT LISA IOL or Tecnis Symfony IOL . The focus was on intermediate vision, defocus curves, and contrast sensitivity.
To assess the prevalence and risk factors for depression and burnout among residents across surgical specialties in Kuwait.
This is a non-interventional, multi-country, multicentre, retrospective study designed to determine the treatment patterns and associated survival rate in patients with primary stage IA to IIIB resectable NSCLC diagnosed between 01 January 2013 and 31 December 2017 and followed until at least 31 December 2020 The main objective of this study is to describe the treatment patterns and determine their associated 3-year survival rate according to clinical and pathologic staging in patients with resectable early-stage (IA to IIIB as per AJCC seventh edition) NSCLC.
Background: Ankle fractures are some of the most common orthopedic presentations, however, controversy in their management and their post-operative rehabilitation protocols exist. Most displaced ankle fractures treated with anatomical reduction and stable internal fixation to allow early range of motion by allowing rigid fixation and restoration of ankle joint congruence. Post-operative rehabilitation protocols varies between surgeons and institutions with the majority emphasising early rehabilitation protocols. The use of a splint. The rational for splinting ankle fractures after rigid fixation is to decrease pain level, rest the soft tissues and prevent equinus deformity. Up to date there is no scientific research to question the benefit of routine use of splints after rigid fixation of ankle fractures. Methods: A prospective multi-centre randomised control trial. Approximately fifty patients will be enrolled from 3 hospitals (Adan, Mubarak and Farwaniya hospital) over a 1 year period. The studied sample will be randomised into 2 groups using computerised randomisation software: splint group and no-splint group. The patients will be examined at set intervals for pain, swelling, deep-vein thrombosis and a set of scoring tools. The tools include: visual analogue score (VAS) for pain, Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) Ankle-Hindfoot score, physical and radiological assessment at 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year intervals. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences program (SPSS) will be used for statistical analysis Results/outcomes: Functional scores, symptoms and signs, complications, radio-graphic and clinical follow up will be recorded.
A single blinded randomized controlled trial. 212 subjects (teeth), 106 in each of the 2 groups will be recruited from the patients referred to Kuwait Board of Endodontics for primary root canal treatment. The aim is to compare the outcome of sealer-based obturation (SBO) with calcium silicate sealer versus warm vertical compaction (WVC) and resin based sealer. Preoperative PA radiograph and CBCT will be taken. A 1 year follow up period will be arranged and another PA radiograph and CBCT will be taken. The preoperative, postoperative and review clinical and radiographic data will be analyzed
