After admission to hospital, COVID-19 progresses in a substantial proportion of patients critical disease that requires intensive care unit (ICU) admission.In pragmatic, non-blinded trial, 387 aged 40-90 years were randomised receive treatment with SoC plus doxycycline (n = 192) or only 195). The primary outcome was the need for ICU as judged by attending physicians. Three types analyses carried out outcome: "Intention treat" (ITT) based on randomisation; "Per protocol" (PP), excluding not...
ABSTRACT Introduction: Pneumococcal diseases pose a significant public health concern in India, with substantial morbidity and mortality, the elderly those coexisting medical conditions being most at risk. Pneumococcus was also seen to be one of main reasons for co-infection, pneumonia complications COVID. Current guidelines recommend vaccination specific adult populations, but there is lack uniformity guidance on risk stratification, prioritisation optimal timing. Methods: Nation Against...
Objective The SABINA (SABA use IN Asthma) program was initiated to describe short-acting β2-agonists (SABA) prescription patterns and assess the impact of its over-prescription on exacerbation risk asthma control. We evaluated SABA in patients with Indian cohort III.Methods This multi-centre, observational, cross-sectional study included retrospective real-time electronic data collection. Data were extracted from medical records (aged >12 years) having >3 consultations same healthcare...
COPD is the 2nd leading cause of deaths and DALYs in India likely contributes to a huge economic burden. Most health care expenditure out-of-pocket little contributed by government medical insurance. In this study, we aimed examine for patients visiting government, semi-private private hospitals/clinics. <b>Methods:</b> 239 doctor diagnosed spirometry confirmed (168 Males, Mean age 66.9 ± 8.9 years) mild-to-very severe (8 mild, 76 moderate, 130 severe-very severe) on medications at least one...
Considering a huge burden of chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) in India, there is need for locally relevant Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) services. This cross-sectional survey was aimed to explore the interest, needs and challenges among various stakeholders PR Pune city, India. At outpatient medicine department multi-speciality hospital Pune, 403 eligible people with CRDs were invited participate survey, which 370 (92%) responded agreed participate. (220 males, mean ± SD age 56 15 years)....
Abstract Background Spirofy™ is India’s first portable, pneumotach flow-sensor-based digital spirometer developed to diagnose asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In this study, we compared the performance of device with that Vitalograph Alpha Touch™ in measuring lung capacities healthy individuals, asthmatics, COPD patients. We also assessed inter-device variability between two devices. Methods a randomized, three-way crossover, open-label measured differences forced...
Pathological cough in primary care is a significant concern. With prevalence ranging from 5 to 10% India, the second most common symptom seen by general practitioners (GPs). The existing algorithms and tools that are available generally meant for categorization specialized fields; their limited adoption GPs results insufficient screening of cough, which use irrational fixed drug combination formulations.
Chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality worldwide in India. Access nonpharmacological options, such as pulmonary rehabilitation (PR), are, however, limited. Given the difference between need availability, exploring PR, specifically remotely delivered a resource-poor setting, will help inform future work.This study explored perceptions, experiences, needs, challenges of patients with CRDs potential for PR from perspective well medical...
Abstract Background Mediastinal lymphadenopathy is seen in a variety of diseases, like tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, and metastasis. The diagnosis can be confirmed by tissue sampling with endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspirate. A middle-aged male presented to us history similar was on empirical anti-tuberculosis treatment evaluated again EBUS-TBNA proved Rosai-Dorfman’s disease. This case report emphasizes confirming the cases mediastinal sampling. Conclusion All should detail...
<b>Background:</b> Despite being the 2nd leading cause of death in India, COPD remains poorly diagnosed, investigated and treated. We aimed to study diagnosis, use spirometry patient9s satisfaction with treatment received from previous GPs, Ps Is, patients visiting a Pulmonologist Respiratory Research Network India. <b>Methodology:</b> Eight Pulmonologists different locations India collected medical records information 793 <b>Results:</b> The mean age subjects was 61.8±9.7yrs, 82% were...

<b>Background:</b> A significant number after the infection patients who have COVID-19 report persistent symptoms that remain for a long time. We aimed to study of and their presenting visiting pulmonary clinics across India. <b>Methods:</b> nationwide, multicenter, observational was conducted data collected from 314 post-COVID-19 subjects 19 respiratory outpatient structured questionnaire used collect retrospective cross-sectional on clinical presentation related Post sequelae....
<b>Background:</b> Innovative solutions are required to develop user-centric models that may improve availability, access and uptake of PR in India. <b>Aim:</b> To a interactive web app for <b>Methods:</b> Following the DTP, an agile intuitive user centric approach innovation (Fig 1), following phases were conducted: (i) Empathizing: exploring needs people with chronic respiratory diseases (4 focus group discussions [n=32]; survey [n=307]); (ii) Defining scope needs: additional literature...

Tracheo-bronchial stenosis can occur in infections like tuberculosis, malignancy and post- intubation, trauma to airway. Tracheal airway remains a challenging area for pulmonologists require interventions cure the patients. The aim of this study is differentiate treatment approach management variety tracheo-bronchial stenosis. Patients with presents breathlessness, stridor, hoarseness voice, are unable expectorate. In some cases, patient will emergency intubation securing before Intubation...
Background: SARS CoV-2 has affected more than 494 millions of people all over across the globe till date. Most lethal infection SARS-CoV-2 is highly representative patients suffering with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) [1]. Interstitial thickening, irregular interface, coarse reticular pattern, and parenchymal bands manifesting in course disease might be predictors these [2].
