Developing Non-Communicable Disease Registries in Africa : A Step Towards Providing Quality Data for Improving Patient Outcomes (NCT03473795)
Developing Non-Communicable Disease Registries in Africa: A Step Towards Providing Quality Data for Improving Patient Outcomes
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This umbrella protocol seeks to develop robust data registries for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) with the aim of providing accurate and comprehensive data for the evaluation of such diseases in sub-Saharan African countries.Healthy volunteers will be included in the study for comparison. Additionally, the investigators aim to describe the gut microbiome community diversity of a cohort of community dwelling Nigerians and compare with CRC patients in Nigerian and at MSK. We will collect stool for microbiome and metabolomic analysis from community dwelling persons in the catchment area of ARGO facilities in Nigeria while contemporaneously administering an extensive medical and environmental exposure questionnaire.
