There are about 211 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Qatar. 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 goal of this clinical trial is to test if using what is called executive function strategies like strategies for improving self-regulation ,strategies for improving planning and problem solving work well when applied within occupational therapy treatment program for children who is diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder , the study will compare between applying regular occupational therapy alone and applying regular occupational therapy plus executive function strategies in improving children with autism spectrum disorder , they will be two group in the study: first group called control group and second group called intervention group, if child is assign on control group he/she will receive regular individual occupational therapy services in autism program which is :Sensory integration which might include things like playing with different interactive games, different textures swinging, bouncing or climbing , and children will also receive life skill training which target training child on self-care skill like grooming, feeding, dressing undressing and toiling skills ) And (if the child assigned on intervention group he/she will receive also regular individual occupational therapy services which described above plus getting executive function training which will be implemented during training the child on daily life skill and this might include using timer during the training, organized schedules, special motivation system and others ,before enrolling children on treatment or control group parent will be asked to sign consent form and after that children will screened based on specific criteria make sure that they are fit for the study then if they meet the study criteria they will also "randomized" into one of two study groups ,Randomization means that putting child into a group by chance. It is like flipping a coin and each child will have a 50% chance of being place in a specific group, following that children will be have detailed assessments which will be done by an experienced occupational therapist and these assessment is aiming to measure the improvement on children condition after receiving therapy ,and will done before treatment , after seven weeks of treatment and completion program at 14 week then data from assessment will be analyzed, each group will receive forty five min regular weekly individual therapy sessions and this extent for thirteen weeks .
This mixed cohort study will test the frequency of PCOS among young females presenting with one of the clinical hyperandrogenism criteria: acne, hirsutism and/or hair loss. Diagnosis will be based on the recent PCOS clinical, biochemical and biophysical criteria recently published " International evidence-based guideline for the assessment and management of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) 2018".
Treatment of refractory cardiac arrest requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) may be augmented with Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to re-establish perfusion in the absence of return of spontaneous circulation. Literature has demonstrated that ECMO initiated during advanced cardiopulmonary life support may confer superior survival rates with acceptable survival and a relatively low incidence of significant neurologic impairment. Levosimendan has not been investigated in patients with cardiac arrest who underwent Extracorporeal CPR (E-CPR). The current study aims to examine whether levosimendan use in the aforementioned patient population could improve survival and ECMO parameters.
Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) support is a lifesaving tool used to treat cardiogenic shock, acute heart failure, or extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR). However, its use is associated with significant complications, including mortality. We aim to conduct a retrospective observational study of all patients at Heart Hospital who required VA-ECMO support due to cardiogenic shock during 1/06/2016 and 1/06/2022 to report the incidence of in-hospital mortality among patients who required VA-ECMO along with the predictors of mortality. Data will be collected to identify baseline characteristics and outcomes including clinical variables predictive of poor outcomes.
VA-ECMO is increasingly utilized in the setting of cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest to restore hemodynamic stability and end organ function. VA-ECMO serves as a short-term ventricular assist device that can be rapidly placed at the bedside in the emergency room, intensive care unit, cardiac catheterization suite, or operating room. A bridge to decision approach allows for the assessment of neurologic status, renal and hepatic function, and subsequent recovery of cardiac function. Despite its life-saving potential, VA-ECMO is fraught with complications including vascular complications from cannulation. In addition, neurologic injury, renal failure, liver failure, and sepsis are all well described sequelae of the post-cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest VA-ECMO patient. For these reasons, identifying early prognostic indicators and developing a score with regard to the outcome of this special patient population is of high interest. The proposed study aims to analyze 4 ICU scores/Survival prediction models [APACHE-II (acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II), SAVE (Survival after VA ECMO) , SOFA (sequential organ failure assessment )and CASUS (Cardiac Surgery Score)] and evaluate their performance in predicting survival after VA ECMO insertion. This will be a clinical retrospective study which will be conducted in the Cardiothoracic Intensive Care unit (CTICU) in the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Heart Hospital, Doha. Patients admitted to the CTICU after institution of VA ECMO in the period between 1st January 2015 to 31st October 2022 will be screened retrospectively. Patients who stay for at least 12 hours in the CTICU would be eligible for inclusion in the study. All charts of patients who were admitted to CTICU after institution of VA ECMO during the afore mentioned period will be included in the review. All the risk scores would be calculated separately for all the enrolled patients and then subjected to statistical analysis to determine predictive accuracy for survival.
Urinary incontinence is one of the most common complications of radical prostatectomy. Multiple prevention and treatment modalities have been proposed in the management of post prostatectomy urinary incontinence. This is a randomized controlled comparative study to evaluate the efficacy of extracorporeal magnetic stimulation alone and combined with pelvic floor muscle exercise versus pelvic floor muscle exercise alone in the management of post radical prostatectomy urinary incontinence. This study is expected to be performed over 7 years. The study population will be all male patients who are prepared for radical prostatectomy under urology department in HMC and were referred to voiding dysfunction for preoperative counselling and postoperative rehabilitation. Patients will be randomized into one of three treatment groups. The first group will receive sessions of extracorporeal magnetic field stimulation only. The second group will receive extracorporeal magnetic stimulation in addition to pelvic floor muscle exercise. The third group will receive pelvic floor muscle exercise only. The recruitment phase will take 3 years. Patients will be followed for 18 months for the course of urinary incontinence symptoms, severity of urinary incontinence on 1-hour pad test, urodynamic leak point pressure and the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form (ICIQ-SF) and the ICIQ quality of life (QOL) score. This study is proposed to reveal strong evidence on the efficacy of extracorporeal magnetic stimulation on the management of post radical prostatectomy urinary incontinence.
This study aims to compare NS and LR in terms of outcomes in patients with acute pancreatitis while addressing the current methodological issues with available meta-analyses on the topic. Such comparison combined with bias adjustment will assist with identifying the optimal fluid rehydration therapy in acute pancreatitis, since most of the available data is conflicted around the topic. A database search will be conducted to identify studies comparing normal saline and ringer's lactate. Existing meta-analyses will be assessed. The results will be discussed in the light of their strengths and limitations and then any deficiencies will be addressed through a new synthesis as a final step of this umbrella review. The primary outcome will be SIRS at 24 hours. OR and 95% confidence intervals will be generated using the quality effects model. Heterogeneity will be evaluated using the I2 statistic. Publication bias will be assessed using the Doi Plot.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) in infants and young children are one of the most common bacterial infections, usually febrile illness without source, frequently due to Enterobacteriaceae, mainly Escherichia coli. Multidrug-resistant organisms including extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing bacteria are becoming more prevalent. Due to the risk factors of ESBL-producing organisms in community-acquired (CA)-UTIs in infants in QATAR and Arab countries are still not studied because of the limited therapeutic options. hence, the importance of this study is to get knowledge about how to decrease the rapidly increasing in ESBL- producing bacteria, in infants, and to use antibiotics in a suitable guideline.so, The aim of this retrospective case-control study is to determine the clinical manifestations, and investigations of urinary tract infections among infants and the association with COVID-19 infection, in pediatric emergency centers at Hamad General Hospital - Qatar. From 1st January 2015 till 1st January 2022.
The project aims to provide an overview of injury and illnesses during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. All teams are invited to participate and record details on time-loss injury and illness occurrence and training and match exposure during the tournament. In order to assess the severity of injuries (based on the length of time a player is unable to play for), all injuries are to be monitored until they are fully rehabilitated, even if this is after the end of the tournament. This information will be recorded by the team physicians and provided on daily report forms to the research team. Data will be encrypted before analysis and only anonymized data will be published. Descriptive statistics are used to provide an overview of the participant demographics and injury and illness occurrence. Injury incidence is calculated as number of injuries per 1000 hours of exposure, and injury burden is calculated as time-loss days per 1000 hours of exposure. Injury incidence and burden will be reported for training and match injuries separately. Illness incidence is calculated per 365 exposure days.
This study aims to generate real-world data on the characteristics of patients receiving benralizumab to assess early PRO parameters as well as long-term treatment effects in the Gulf cooperative council (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Qatar), Latin America (Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia), and India. It is anticipated that the data generated will provide practical, patient-focused real-world evidence and enhance communications between patients and physicians in an objective and structured manner to ensure better disease control in patients under benralizumab treatment.
