NCT ID: NCT05061407 Completed - Surgery Clinical Trials

An African, Multi-centre Evaluation of Patient Care and Clinical Outcomes for Paediatric Patients Undergoing Surgery

ASOS-Paeds
Start date: January 15, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Access to safe surgery is a basic human right. This is highlighted by the work of the Lancet Commission on Global Surgery. There is a large burden of surgical disease in the paediatric surgical population with a large unmet need. In Africa, children comprise a significant proportion of the population with approximately 50% of the population being ≤19 years old. Limited data from Africa suggests the risk factors for, incidence and outcomes associated with paediatric surgical complications differ from HICs. The African Surgical Outcomes Study (ASOS) has described surgical outcomes in adult patients in Africa. There is a need to determine the burden of the complications in paediatric surgical patients in Africa, and the risk factors for and the type of complications experienced. Once this study is completed, the investigators will be able to target appropriate interventions to improve surgical outcomes for children in Africa. The investigators have the capacity to do this important work, through the African Perioperative Research Group (APORG) group.

NCT ID: NCT03054662 Completed - Haemophilia Clinical Trials

Non Substitutive Strategies to Improve Haemophilia Care in Developing Countries. Experience in Ivory Coast.

Start date: January 16, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study aims to make an inventory of the condition and care of patients with haemophilia and carriers for haemophilia in Ivory Coast and to promote the use non substitutive strategies that are not costly and available in Ivory Coast, to improve the management of haemophilia in this country. The purpose of this project is to evaluate the extent to which the active promotion of these various measures will improve the care of patients with haemophilia and carriers in Ivory Coast.

NCT ID: NCT01821014 Completed - Telemedicine Clinical Trials

Satellite-supplementation of Medical Outreach Clinics: a Feasibility Study

Start date: February 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Much of the basic general medical care and chronic disease management in rural Honduras comes from groups of volunteers setting up temporary clinics run by volunteers. These clinics, also known as brigades, or medical missions, are often criticized for their lack of quality and the lack of follow-up, both of which stem, in part, from understaffing with volunteer physicians. This study is designed to assess if it is feasible, safe, and acceptable to treat patients in short-term mobile medical clinics in rural Honduras using US physicians connected with patients by videoconference.
