Hi Arjyabrata,

Very interesting work. I'd be keen to know more about your study. I am reachable on [email protected].

For an article you have to refine "the question". So it depends what you are interested in - indications, prices, adherence, accessability .... ? 

What do you mean by segment? Is it a sector of the population or what?

What are the objectives of your work?

It is better if you refine your question and focus on some area like antibiotic usage etc

Elaborate on your question, it is so vague.

Dear all,

The survey comprises several steps, first of all we took random prescription data from the population. The selection criteria and the inclusion and exclusion of patients were done on the basis of preselected survey mode. The selected the hospitals as they represent different views of treatment, cost, patients attitude, environment and geographical variations as the survey can represent the whole condition in Bangladesh. This portion drives only the drugs pattern and variations.

Then we have done another oral survey to find out the the complications of pregnant women. We have found a pattern of complications of pregnant women with their age variations.

Good work.. let me know your primary and secondary objectives to help you much better... Recently we have done many of such surveys and now under peer review process. 

Attitudes and perceptions of the patients towards the cost effectiveness might be the theme... right??

That's very nice to hear Deepak Kumar B

Surely we will look further to the concept you shared, it is in our future plan too. For this survey we are looking forward to estimate the correlation between pregnant women age with their complications.

That a good and simple one.. you can do it... Need any help let me know

Hi Arjyabrata, this is an interesting study and I am sure there are more aspects one could look at once your done answering your primary research questions. Do you also have any data on birth outcomes ? - Perinatal mortality; maternal near miss or congenital defects ? It would be interesting to study those, if you have that data. Let me know if I can help or collaborate in any way, just happy.

Surely I'll connect to you if I face further problems in correlating that pattern, Deepak Kumar B.

It's been a very nice approach and I\m feeling much interested on it as your suggestion. In our primary survey we didn't collect this type of data. But we can do it further if you join us with your ideas and collaboration.
