NCT ID: NCT01563575 Completed - Obesity Clinical Trials

WHO-HPH Recognition Project on Fast-Track Implementation of Clinical Health Promotion

RP
Start date: January 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The project's background is the notion that patient centred clinical health promotion has been shown to significantly improve both outcomes and patient safety. Accordingly, the WHO describes health promotion as a key dimension of quality in hospitals, and the organization has developed standards on the topic in order to help hospital management and staff members to assess and improve the quality of health care and thereby achieve better health for patients, staff, and community. Even so, however, health promotion is still a very implicit part of nearly all quality standards on hospitals. Moreover, assessing hospitals departments' health promotion performance is still quite an unexplored area. On this basis, this project will test a new recognition process that uses the relevant WHO-HPH tools and standards to assess performance, by way of explicit documentation and evaluation of clinical health promotion activity. The project is deigned as a RCT, with a control group that undergoes the recognition process immediately and a control group that continue usual clinical routine. Then, after one year, the control group also begins the recognition process (= delayed start), while the Intervention group (=immediate-start) continues with the recognition process. Doing this allows for a great array of measurements, and hopefully the project will then show whether the recognition process really benefits implementation of health promotion in hospitals and health services, and also, if this really generates better health gains for patients and staff. The outcome measurements will be frequency of health promotion services delivered on smoking, excessive alcohol use, overweight, malnutrition, and physical activity to patients in need. Such services could for instance be motivational counselling and brief interventions, as well as intervention, rehabilitation and after treatment. Physical, mental, and social health status among patients and staff will be measured by short form (SF36).

NCT ID: NCT01550016 Completed - Dengue Fever Clinical Trials

International Research Consortium on Dengue Risk Assessment, Management, and Surveillance

IDAMS
Start date: October 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Improvements in diagnosis of dengue fever and prediction of which patients will get more severe disease are urgently needed to improve the treatment of patients with dengue. This is very important in places with many people who suffer from dengue but have limited health care resources. This study will enroll patients with fever which may be caused by dengue in 6 countries with high incidence of dengue over two continents (Brazil, Cambodia, El Salvador, Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam). All patients will be followed by a doctor with blood tests and exams until they recover. Symptoms and laboratory tests will be followed so that the cause of fever can be determined. For patients who have dengue, the investigators will look for symptoms and tests which indicate more serious disease. This study will help to determine how to identify patients with dengue fever based on symptoms and simple laboratory tests and those who will get more serious disease. It will also help to define a more standardized management of patients with dengue fever.

NCT ID: NCT01531933 Completed - Prediabetic Clinical Trials

Efficacy and Safety of DLBS3233 in Prediabetic Patients

DIPPER-DM
Start date: November 2011
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This is a 2-arm, prospective, double blind, randomized, and controlled clinical study for 12 weeks of therapy to investigate clinical efficacy and safety of DLBS3233. It is hypothesized that DLBS3233 will delay the progress of beta-cell dysfunction as measured by the improvement of prandial (particularly the first phase) insulin secretion as well as insulin resistance in prediabetic subjects which may prevent the conversion of prediabetes into type 2 diabetes mellitus.

NCT ID: NCT01531062 Completed - Dyslipidemia Clinical Trials

Effect of Nigella Sativa on Lipid Profiles in Elderly

Start date: September 2011
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Nigella sativa seed extracts are effective in the treatment of dyslipidemia in elderly.

NCT ID: NCT01515644 Completed - Healthy Infants Clinical Trials

Study on the Effect of Inulin in Infant Formula on Gut Health

STAR-IFFO
Start date: October 2011
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

In this study the effect of Infant formula with added Inulin will be compared with the effect of Infant formula without Inulin on the Bifidobacterium level in stool. It is expected that drinking Infant formula with added Inulin will result in higher beneficial bacteria level in stool compared to an Infant formula without Inulin.

NCT ID: NCT01511289 Completed - Leukemia Clinical Trials

Radotinib Versus Imatinib in Newly Diagnosed Philadelphia Chromosome and Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Chronic Phase Patients

Start date: August 2011
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

In this study, the efficacy and safety of two radotinib doses, 300 mg twice daily and 400 mg twice daily, will be compared with imatinib 400 mg once daily in newly diagnosed patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in the chronic phase (CML-CP).

NCT ID: NCT01492205 Completed - Clinical trials for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

NovoLet® Acceptance Study Within the Hospital Practise in Indonesia

Start date: September 2005
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Observational

This study is conducted in Asia. The aim of this study is to evaluate the overall acceptance of healthcare professionals (nurses and doctors) to the NovoLet® system used in a hospital environment.

NCT ID: NCT01492166 Completed - Clinical trials for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Start date: November 2006
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

This study is conducted in Asia. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety and convenience of the use of Mixtard® 30 NovoLet® used alone or combined with oral hypoglycaemic agent (OHA) in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus in an out-patient setting.

NCT ID: NCT01492153 Completed - Clinical trials for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

NovoLet® Surveillance Study on Using Human Insulin System in Indonesia

Start date: February 11, 2003
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

This study is conducted in Asia. The aim of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of NovoLet® human insulin delivery system in an outpatient setting.

NCT ID: NCT01484756 Completed - Clinical trials for Upper Respiratory Tract Infection

Combined Vitamins and Minerals Decrease Incidence of Upper Respiratory Tract Infections in Older Persons

Start date: August 2008
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Nutrient deficiency and immune dysfunction in older persons result in high prevalence of acute respiratory infection,which can lead to impaired nutritional status. The study objective was to determine the effect of multi micro-nutrient supplementation on nutritional and upper respiratory infection among apparently healthy community-dwelling elderly. The main hypothesis was whether daily multi micro-nutrient supplementation could reduce the incidence and prevalence of upper respiratory infection among apparently healthy community-dwelling older persons. Inclusion criteria were apparently independent healthy male and female older persons aged 60 years and over, not taking multi micro-nutrient supplementation over the last month. The study design was a community-based double-blind controlled trial involving 296 community-dwelling older persons aged 60 and above, in the Mampang Prapatan district, South Jakarta. Participants were randomized to receive either 40 mg elemental zinc (as gluconate), 120 mg ascorbic acid, 6 mg B-carotene, 15 mg alpha tocopherol (as d-alpha-tocopheryl acid succinate) and 400 micrograms folic acid (intervention group) or 400 mg calcium carbonate (control group). Supplements were taken daily for six months, from August 2008 to March 2009. Nutritional and health status were measured before and after supplementation. Poisson regression analysis was used to evaluate the effects of daily multi micro-nutrient supplementation on the incidence and prevalence of upper respiratory infection.
