ABDA Score: A Non-invasive Model to Identify Subjects with Fibrotic Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis in the Community.

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are prevalent in the community, especially among those with metabolic syndrome. Patients with fibrotic NASH are at increased risk of liver-related-events. Currently available non-invasive tests have not been utilized for screening for fibrotic NASH among the community.

Development and design of the first structured clinic-based program in lower resource settings to transition emerging adults with type 1 diabetes from pediatric to adult care.

Introduction: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is increasing in young people worldwide and more children in resource limited settings are living into adulthood. There is a need for rigorous testing and reporting of evidence-based and stakeholder-informed strategies that transition individuals with T1D from pediatric to adult care. We present the development of and design of the first structured transition program in Delhi, India, to inform similar efforts in India and resource limited settings.

A multi-center pediatric to adult care transition intervention program to improve clinic visit adherence and clinical outcomes among adolescents and emerging adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus [PATHWAY]: Protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

Objective: This multi-center randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a context-specific transition intervention program to improve clinic visit adherence and clinical outcomes among emerging adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in Delhi, India.

Methods: We will recruit patients with T1DM of duration ≥1 year and age 15-19.5 years from the participating pediatric sites.

Rural-Urban differentials in prevalence, spectrum and determinants of Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in North Indian population.

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a spectrum of disease ranging from simple steatosis, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), through to advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis. We assessed the prevalence, spectrum, and determinants of NAFLD among adults in urban and rural North India.

Methods: A representative sample of adults aged 30-60 years were recruited from urban Delhi and rural Ballabhgarh during 2017-2019.
