About this study
Official title: Perioperative Care Capacity - an Ethiopian National Cross-sectional Survey
A national cross-sectional survey of surgery and anaesthesia at Ethiopian public hospital facilities.
Read the detailed description
Incorporating elements from recognized surgical and anesthesia facility assessment tools the survey assesses surgery and anaesthesia at Ethiopian public hospital facilities.
The surveys assesses infrastructure, workforce, and availability of resources across all National facilities providing surgery.
An online national cross-sectional survey, designed through a consultative process involving senior clinicians - anesthesia providers, surgeons, and obstetricians.
Elements incorporated from existing tools, including the Safe Surgery Hospital Assessment Tool, World Federation of Societies of Anaesthesiologists (WFSA) Anaesthesia Facility Assessment Tool and the Lancet Commission on Global Surgery Surgical Assessment Tool.
Survey questions grouped into themes: infrastructure, human resources, service delivery, and the availability of medications, equipment, and guidelines.
The final quantitative survey includes 77 questions, for distribution to clinicians at a convenience sample of government hospitals providing major surgical services. Private facilities are excluded.
The online survey link sent via the N4PCc collaborator network to clinicians at each site. All collaborators and clinicians are perioperative practitioners (anesthesia providers, surgeons, obstetricians, nurses) at their respective institutions. Additional facilities with no N4PCc collaborator contacted via the department of anesthesia at each institution. Telephone follow-up with non-responding hospitals to overcome barriers to completion, including assistance with data input where required.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Perioperative care capacity (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Jan 2021.
