Reducing Household Air Pollution Exposure To Improve Early Child Health And Development; Extending The Intervention And Follow-up Of Poriborton: The CHANge Trial.
Funder

Funding Amount
$2,916,420.00
Summary
Around the world each year household air pollution causes 4.3 million deaths. Mothers, babies and children, who spend the most time at home are extremely vulnerable. We will study the health of infants who have had reduced exposure in their first critical years of life and compare them to infants whose exposure was not reduced. This will provide compelling evidence for governments around the world of the need to assist families in developing settings to adopt clean energy.
Cancers can spread to the lung causing fluid build-up and requires drainages in hospital that are painful and costly. Surgery is previously seen as the definitive option to stop fluid forming, but is invasive with complications. Indwelling pleural catheter (IPC) is a novel implanted device inside the chest that allows patients to drain fluid at home. AMPLE Trial-3 is the first multicenter randomized clinical trial to compare surgery vs IPC to provide fluid control and improve quality of life.
