In particular, atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a kind of arrhythmia that can lead to heart stroke and myocardial infarction. It is very important and crucial to predict AFib at an early stage to prevent heart disease. Electrocardiogram is one of the premium diagnostic tools which is used by most of the researchers for predicting irregular heartbeats. There are many works carried out in finding heart disease using machine learning classifiers. Aims and Objectives: Deep learning based hybrid Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) network is hybridized with Enhanced Whale Optimization (EWO) to minimize the network optimization and configuration issues faced in the existing models and proposed to increases the accuracy of predicting AFib. Materials and Methods: The proposed LSTM network is hybridized with a EWO technique for predicting AFib. This study uses a hybrid LSTM EWO network for classifying the various output labels of heart disease. EWO is used to predict the most relevant features from the raw dataset. Then, the LSTM model is used to predict the AFib of a patient from normal ECG data. Results: The DL based LSTM EWO achieves better results in all the performance metrics by analyzing the optimized features in feature space, training, and testing phase and successfully obtains better performance in an effective manner. LSTM improves the accuracy by reducing the number of units in the hidden layer which optimizes the network configuration. The proposed model achieves 96.12% accuracy which is 12.81% higher than RF, 15.01% higher than GB, 28.04% higher than CART, and 16.92% higher than SVM. Conclusion: The proposed model hybrid LSTM network integrated EWO for predicting the AFib. The EWO is applied for selecting the most appropriate features needed for the model to learn and produce improvised performance. The optimization and network configuration problems faced in the existing studies are avoided by choosing the suitable number of LSTM units and the size of the time window. This has been implemented through LSTM units and their window size. In addition, we made a statistical examination to prove the importance of proposed work against other models. It is observed that the experimental results attained with 96% of accuracy, better than conventional models.","PeriodicalId":52935,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Noncommunicable Diseases","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43613996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It also leads to reduction of complications and improvement in the quality of life. Identification of barriers to adopting these practices can help devise strategies to overcome them. This study was conducted to understand the self-care practices among diabetics and the barriers affecting those practices among diabetics in the urban slum area. Materials and Methods: This qualitative study using Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) was conducted in a chronic disease Outpatient clinic in Mumbai, in November 2020. Four FGDs with 32 participants were conducted. Thematic analysis of the transcripts was done. Results: Three major themes were identified – living with diabetes, practices to maintain glycemic control, and potential barriers. Barriers for self-care practices were - confusing advice provided by family and doctors, feeling rejected (stigmatized), lack of motivation for exercise, complications of diabetes, lack of family cooperation, lack of knowledge on foot care, physical constraints, nonavailability of medications, lack of social and financial support, suboptimal knowledge regarding diabetes, and misconceptions. Conclusions: Motivating diabetic patients for regular physical activity by starting from simple indoor exercises to outdoor exercises are necessary. Counseling the family members on the complications of diabetes due to inappropriate dietary practices should be advocated. Improvement in doctor-patient communication and providing information on the foot care practices is the need of the hour.","PeriodicalId":52935,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Noncommunicable Diseases","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46493200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Healthy dietary intake and calorie restrictions have a promising effect on longevity. Eventually, adopting these strategies may delay the onset and decrease the burden of NCDs. Recent findings proved that nutrition has a strong association with the prevalence of NCDs. American Institute for Cancer Research and the World Cancer Research Fund says 30%–40% of cancers are preventable by adopting healthy food choices, dietary restrictions, engaging in physical activity, and maintaining body mass index.

Compliance with hypertension therapy is the extent to which one's behavior in following a diet plan, taking medications, or making lifestyle changes corresponds to the agreed recommendations from a health-care provider. This research explores factors influencing noncompliance to hypertension treatment in the North Dayi District of the Volta Region, Ghana. Aims: To determine the prevalence of noncompliance to hypertension therapy in patients diagnosed with hypertension in the study population. 1. To evaluate the knowledge of patients on hypertension. 2. To ascertain contributing factors influencing noncompliance to the treatment of hypertension. Settings and Design: A cross-sectional study. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2021 to February 2021 in the North Dayi District. A sample of 191 respondents diagnosed with hypertension for at least 1 month with or without comorbidities and on treatment were selected using the systematic sampling method. An Adherence Barrier Questionnaire was adopted to assess reliability in the responses. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were done using noncompliance to hypertension therapy as the outcome of interest. Statistical Analysis Used: Fisher's Exact, logistic regression, Cronbach's alpha analysis. Results: Data were collected from 191 study participants between the ages of 25 and 101 years with an average age estimated at (62.2 ± 13.5) years. The prevalence of nonadherence to hypertension treatment in this study was 31.4% in the North Dayi District Hospital. The reported Marital status and Default review were statistically significant predictors of adherence to hypertension treatment at a chosen 95% Confidence Level. Conclusion: The degree of non-compliance to hypertension treatment was less than fifty per cent among respondents. The data suggests that strategies should be developed to help reduce waiting times for consultation at the Hypertension Clinic by the District Hospital in collaboration with other stakeholders.","PeriodicalId":52935,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Noncommunicable Diseases","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44286060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Those eligible for statin therapy for cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention are under treated possibly due to clinical inertia. This study aimed to find out the present lipid screening practices and prescribing of statins for primary prevention in a low- to middle-income country. Methods: This study was conducted at medical wards of Colombo South Teaching Hospital in patients with a first-time acute coronary syndrome (ACS), who have not been on treatment with statins and not diagnosed with dyslipidemia prior to this admission. Eligibility for lipid screening was assessed using U.S. preventive services task force recommendations. CVD risk prior to ACS was assessed by QRISK2 score. Lipid profile was done within 24 h. Results: Out of 125 participants, 70.4% had a QRISK2 >10 and were eligible for statins prior to their first episode of ACS. Eighty-four percent have not had a lipid screening and 91.4% were not aware of the need for it. 54.4% were not aware that the elevation of certain types of cholesterol leads to ACS. Of 125 patients (100 males/25 females), mean age 55.78 (26–82). Body mass index >23kg/m2 in 65.6%. 65.6% had some lipid abnormality.

Therefore, this study was planned with the following objectives: (i) To assess adherence with chronic disease care among patients with NCDs. (ii) To determine the factors associated with adherence with chronic disease care among patients with NCDs during COVID-19 nationwide lockdown. Materials and Methods: This was a hospital-based cross-sectional study conducted in the NCD prevention clinic of All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhubaneswar, during July 2020–August 2020. A total of 210 patients were studied. Patients were interviewed both at the clinic and telephonically; those who had scheduled visits did not make it. Out of 210 patients, 105 participants were interviewed face to face in the hospital in the NCD prevention clinic. The other 105 patients were interviewed telephonically who did not attend the clinic during follow-up. Results: All the participants (210) had diabetes mellitus, and 44.8% of participants had accompanying hypertension. One-fourth of participants could not follow the dietary practices advised by the doctor during the lockdown. Similarly, 42% of participants could not maintain moderate-intensity physical activity (30 min) during the lockdown period. The period prevalence of nonadherence to prescribed drugs/medicines in our sample was 45.71% (95% confidence intervals [CI] 38.84–52.71). Participants with more than one NCDs had a 52% less chance to stop the drugs/medications during the national lockdown period than participants with one NCD (adjusted odds ratio 0.48, 95% CI 0.27–0.83). Conclusions: The continuum of chronic disease care of NCD patients has been affected by COVID-19 nationwide lockdown.
