Introduction Antibiotic misuse is widespread and contributes to antibiotic resistance, especially in less regulated health systems such as India. Although informal providers are involved with substantial segments of primary healthcare, their level knowledge, attitudes, practices not well documented the literature. Objectives This quantitative study systematically examines formal respect use. Methods We surveyed a convenience sample 384 participants (96 allopathic doctors, 96 nurses,...
Background Misuse of antibiotics is a well-known driver antibiotic resistance. Given the decentralized model Indian health system and shortage allopathic doctors in rural areas, wide variety healthcare providers cater to needs patients urban settings. This qualitative study explores drivers use among formal informal as well accessing care at primary centers across Paschim Bardhaman district West Bengal. Materials methods We conducted 28 semi-structured, in-depth interviews with four groups...
International surveys have demonstrated that asthma is still underdiagnosed and undertreated in many parts of the world. Despite improvements standard care delivered areas, as evidenced by improved global mortality data, much information on projects programmes undertaken resource-limited regions world not public domain. The aim this report to review diverse around so health providers, planners consumers may draw successes, failures lessons learnt. Such real experiences contribute achieving...
Abstract Background Carbapenems are the widest spectrum antibiotics, categorized as a Watch group in AWaRe classification tool by World Health Organization, which recommends limiting its use only to certain specific infections. In settings where circulation of multidrug resistant Gram-negative organisms is common, overuse carbapenems might occur leads additional costs and harm. Antibiotic stewardship programs (ASP) have demonstrated impact on antibiotic hospital setting. We describe ASP...
In locations where few people have received coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines, health systems remain vulnerable to surges in severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections. Tools identify patients suitable for community-based management are urgently needed.
Introduction In rural and difficult-to-access settings, early accurate recognition of febrile children at risk progressing to serious illness could contribute improved patient outcomes better resource allocation. This study aims develop a prognostic clinical prediction tool assist community healthcare providers identify who might benefit from referral or admission for facility-based medical care. Methods analysis prospective observational will recruit least 4900 paediatric inpatients...

Abstract Efficient resource allocation is essential for effective pandemic response. We measured host biomarkers in 420 patients presenting with moderate coronavirus disease 2019 and found that different predict distinct clinical outcomes. Interleukin (IL)–1ra, IL-6, IL-10, IL-8 exhibit dose-response relationships subsequent progression could potentially be useful multiple use-cases.
ABSTRACT Background In locations where few people have received COVID-19 vaccines, health systems remain vulnerable to surges in SARS-CoV-2 infections. Tools identify patients suitable for community-based management are urgently needed. Methods We prospectively recruited adults presenting two hospitals India with moderate symptoms of laboratory-confirmed order develop and validate a clinical prediction model rule-out progression supplemental oxygen requirement. The primary outcome was...
Abstract Background Antibiotics are among the most prescribed drugs in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), but frequently used inappropriately exposing preterm neonates to additional harm. Antibiotic stewardship programs (ASP) have demonstrated impact on antibiotic use hospital setting, implementation units is challenging. We sought determine effects of weekly rounds overall consumption NICU. Methods Single-center, retrospective observational study. In November 2014, we implemented a 60-bed...
