  • Task-sharing spinal anaesthesia care in three rural Indian hospitals

    Open AccessNandakumar Menon, Regi George et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2024

    BACKGROUND: Task-sharing of spinal anaesthesia care by non-specialist graduate physicians, termed medical officers (MOs), is commonly practised in rural Indian healthcare facilities to mitigate workforce constraints. We sought to assess whether spinal anaesthesia failure rates of MOs were non-inferior to those of consultant anaesthesiologists (CA) following a standardised educational curriculum. METHODS: We performed a randomised, non-inferiority…

    Open AccessArinzechukwu Nwagbata, Rohini Dutta et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Interest in global surgery has surged amongst academics and practitioners in high-income countries (HICs), but it is unclear how frontline surgical practitioners in low-resource environments perceive the new field or its benefit. Our objective was to assess perceptions of academic global surgery amongst surgeons in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We conducted a cross-sectional e-survey among surgical trainees and consultants in 62 LMICs…

  • What to scale first? A cross-sectional analysis of factors affecting cesarean delivery rates at first referral units in Bihar, India

    Open AccessAnna Alaska Pendleton, Rohini Dutta et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2023

    BACKGROUND: Low rates of caesarean delivery (CD) (<10%) hinder access to a lifesaving procedure for the most vulnerable populations in low-resource settings, but there is a paucity of data regarding which factors contribute most to CD rates. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to determine caesarean delivery rates at Bihar's first referral units (FRUs) stratified by facility level (regional, sub-district, district). The secondary aim was to identify facility-le…

Some state-wide studies conducted in the early months of the pandemic found no in-hospital racial disparities in mortality. Methods We performed chi-square and logistic regression analyses on the CDC COVID-19 Case Surveillance Restricted Database. The primary outcome of the study was all-cause in-hospital mortality. The primary …
