There are about 89 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Uruguay. 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.
UPRIGHT-HTM will compare risk stratification, treatment efficiency and health economic outcomes of a diagnostic approach based on home blood pressure telemonitoring combined with urinary proteomic profiling with home blood pressure telemonitoring alone
The aim of the project is to evaluate the risk-reducing salpingectomy with delayed oophorectomy as an alternative for risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy in high risk women with respect to ovarian cancer incidence.
A Prospective, Multicenter, Non-Interventional Study of Primary Data Collection, Designed to Describe the Diagnosis, Anti-Cancer Treatment and Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Breast Cancer in Latin America.
Approximately 200 of patients of 60 years or older who present a mandibular fracture will be enrolled in this registry. All patients will be treated and followed up according to the local standard (routine) of care at around 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months after treatment.
This study evaluates the clinical and hemodynamic outcome in patients after aortic valve replacement. Half of the patients will receive warfarin + aspirin and the other half will receive only aspirin. The investigators will focus mainly on early bioprosthesis degeneration.
This large multinational, non-interventional study (NIS), will retrospectively collect data derived from established medical records over a period of up to approximately 6 years (2013 to 2018), building a platform to capture and consolidate information on treatment patterns, Overall Survival (OS) and treatment effectiveness outcomes in the real-world setting.
Evaluate molecular testing and treatment patterns for EGFR mutation in two different cohorts of stage IV NSCLC, at diagnosis (treatment naïve) and at the moment of progression to EGFR-TKIs. This study is non-indication seeking (NIS), descriptive in nature and does not attempt to test any specific a priori hypotheses.
Ultrasound is a widely used tool for clinicians to manage severe acute patients, seeking to improve the limitations of traditional physical examination and special studies that require patient transfers and can be harmful. This study aims to determine that a pre-established protocol of multiorganic point-of-care ultrasound can be beneficial performed systematically in a critical care patient, improving the diagnosis, detecting hidden anomalies, generating changes in therapy and guiding interventions. A multicenter, randomized controlled clinical trial, against a conventional therapy group is designed. The study group underwent an ultrasound protocol at the entrance of an ICU, of optic, pulmonary, cardiac, abdominal and guide of interventions.
Providing high quality care for dying patients and their families is very important. One way one can assess the care provided is to ask bereaved relatives to complete a questionnaire after their family member has died. The questionnaire can ask about their experiences and their thoughts about the care provided to their family member. One such questionnaire is the 'Care Of the Dying Evaluation' (or CODE). CODE has been developed with the help and support of bereaved relatives and has been used extensively within the United Kingdom. In this project the investigators want to use the CODE questionnaire to look at bereaved relatives' views about care provided in seven different countries within Europe and Latin America. In the first part of the project CODE was translated into the main language of each country. Volunteers and bereaved relatives in each country were asked to give feedback about whether CODE was easy to understand, sensitive, and easy to complete. Based on the feedback a common version of CODE that is suitable for use across all the countries was developed. In the next phase of the project, relatives who have recently experienced a bereavement where one of their family members has died from cancer in a hospital, will be invited to complete the CODE questionnaire about two months after the patient's death. The relatives may complete CODE on paper, using a computer, or by interview. The aim is to have 100 completed CODE questionnaires from each of the seven countries. The data from the questionnaires will be used to make a report on the current quality of care for dying cancer patients in hospitals across the seven countries. It will also be possible to compare the care between the countries and identify areas needing improvement. In the next phase of the project, health care professionals, researchers and bereaved relatives together will use their knowledge and experience to find effective ways to improve the weak areas identified, and assess the results of putting these changes into practice.
This randomised controlled trial compares the immediate dentoalveolar restoration and bovine demineralised bone in immediate implants placed in fresh sockets with buccal resorption. A total of 34 patients will be included and followed clinically and radiographically for 18 months. Patient centred outcomes will also be evaluated.
