A cross-sectional study was conducted in an urban field practice slum area served by Urban Health Centre (UHC) attached to the Dept. of Preventive and Social Medicine, T. N. Medical College and Nair Hospital, Mumbai, to compare the knowledge about different Child Survival and Safe Motherhood interventions in two groups of mothers. 152 mother who regularly attended antenatal check-up in UHC constituted study group and 153 mothers selected by individual matching constituted the control group.

Comparing the Survival Analysis of Two or More Groups

Survival analysis is a cornerstone of medical research, used to evaluate the time until an event of interest occurs, such as death, disease recurrence, or recovery. Unlike standard statistical methods, survival analysis is particularly adept at handling censored data—instances where the event has not occurred for some participants by the end of the study or remains unobserved. To address these unique challenges, specialized techniques like the Kaplan-Meier estimator, log-rank test, and Cox...

Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches

Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast, controlled...
