They indicate improved awareness
A single-centre, hospital-based study from Chennai has shown that the later phase of the pandemic showed better outcomes versus the early group. It also concurred with other studies that late evaluations and presence of co-morbidities meant worse disease. The findings were published in
Clinical Epidemiology and Global Health, the official journal of the Indian Clinical Epidemiology Network.
The paper by Prithvi Mohandas et al from MIOT International Hospital, a referral centre in Chennai, showed results similar to those seen in other studies that are available on COVID-19 in respect of clinical presentation and prognosis. The primary endpoint was stable discharge from hospital/patient recovery or death. Associations between risk factors and co-morbidities were analysed.

Latest technology makes it possible, says Prithvi Mohandas of MIOT Over 1,200 doctors have been trained in effectively performing hip replacement surgeries in the past 10 years through the socket science course hosted by MIOT Hospital in partnership with DePuy Synthes, which is part of Johnson and Johnson Medical Devices.
Addressing a conference organised to mark the completion of 10 years of the course here on Wednesday, Prithvi Mohandas, managing director of the hospital, said the key objective was to ensure that the hip replacements were done in such a way that the future surgeries for the same patients were not complicated.
