There are about 483 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Jordan. 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.
Cardiovascular disease continues to be the leading cause of death among women in the Middle East, including Jordan. Sex-specific data focused on cardiovascular disease have been increasing steadily, yet is not the subgroup of young women. This study focuses on classical and novel risk factors of cardiovascular disease in young women compared with older women.
This study aims to estimate the prevalence of infected medical students with COVID-19 in the University of Jordan and to compare number of cases between students in clinical and basic years. In addition, this can provide insight into the awareness of infection control practices among students. Furthermore, to examine if hospital rotations increased risk of infection between clinical year medical students.
In Jordan, there are few data about the prevalence of hypovitaminosis D in pregnant women and their newborns and factors that affect their levels. Hence, in this study, investigators will : 1. Determine vitamin D levels among newborns born in north Jordan 2. Determine vitamin D levels among pregnant women in north Jordan 3. Study the association between maternal and infants levels of vitamin D 4. Explore the association between maternal and fetal characteristics and maternal and/or fetal vitamin D level 5. Study the effect of low fetal vitamin D on newborn anthropometry 6. Study the effect of maternal vitamin D supplement use during pregnancy in raising cord serum vitamin D levels
Patients in the surgery ward are at risk of morbidity and mortality from various types of treatment-related problems (TRPs). The primary aim of this study is to assess the impact of the clinical pharmacist in the identification and management of TRPs in the surgery ward.
A retrospective study of the quality of life and problems experienced by patients who developed pregnancy related VTE. It involves patients seen at JUH in 2012-2020. A questionnaire will be filled by those patients and any other patients in Jordan. It was translated to an Arabic form from EQ-5D, VEINES-QOL/SYM questionnaire and PEmb-QoL. The quality of their lives will be assessed and the problems encountered are going to be analyzed to try to find some solutions. This project is going to be a national research project with the efforts to try to find common platforms for those patients and nidus to establish a national support group.
A total of 58 participants were selected and divided into two groups equally, namely, elderly, and young groups with the age groups of 60-80 years and 20-30 years, respectively. The Heart Rate (HR), Respiratory Rate (RR), Blood Pressure (BP), Oxygen Saturation (SaO2), and Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) for each participant were assessed before and after the treatment session.
this is a retrospective cohort, descriptive study, investigating the role of ERAS protocols, in pediatric surgery and evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing these protocols
Prospective study of both maternal and fetal outcomes of those pregnancies that were complicated by COVID-19 infection at various gestational ages. The follow up will be from the time the diagnosis was made till discharge of the mother and her baby from the hospital.
The primary objective of the study was to explore which insulin-based regimen is better, infusion or bolus regimen, for intraoperative management of glucose level for the diabetic patient at cardiac surgery. Secondary objectives include: comparing the relative amounts of insulin needed during the operation and subsequent cost impact and comparing potassium levels between groups. Ethical approval for the study was obtained from the Office for Research Ethics Committees at Hashemite University - Prince Hamza hospital. This study was a parallel-group, randomized, controlled trial with 1:1 allocation ratio. Participants: Adult diabetic patients, type 2, who were admitted to hospital for cardiac surgery. The intervention: Both patients in the infusion or bolus group received their dose of insulin, fast-acting human insulin (Actrapid®) was used. Setting: Patients were recruited at Prince Hamza hospital, Amman, Jordan. A tertiary care center specialized unit in cardiac surgery for diabetic patients. Outcomes monitoring: It was monitored six times as follows: preoperative induction measure, then glucose post heparin, and after that for 2 hours, glucose levels were monitored every 30 minutes. Insulin quantities were recorded as well to be used in secondary outcomes analysis. Randomization, allocation, and blinding During patient enrolment, concealed allocation to either infusion group or bolus group was guaranteed through the use of a closed envelope system prepared by an independent investigator. Block randomization with random block sizes, ensured allocation balance, and avoided selection bias by preventing allocation prediction. Researchers and physicians were blind to the block size sequence and randomization. Envelopes were unopened until completion of patient registration. Hospital staff who monitor glucose and those who administered insulin were blinded to the primary and secondary outcomes' measure.
A total of 24 healthy non-smoker patients requiring FGG recruited for the study. Subjects were equally and randomly assigned into two groups. Test group, local application of HYADENT BG on both donor and recipient sites. Control group, application of normal saline on both sites as placebo. The FGG dimensions were evaluated at 1, 3- and 6-month recall using digital photographs. Post-operative pain was evaluated for 14 days. Color matching and patient satisfaction were evaluated at 6 months.
