  Current projects with SCIO
 

Now, several large SCIO-based studies are running in Russia. One of them is completed: "Onychoindex Project Russia". This one aimed to evalution of current distribution of SCIO among onychomycosis patients. During this study (1999-2000), dermatologists simply filled SCIO questionnaries together with age/sex data. The works under results of this project are entering final stage. Number of observed patients in this project reaches 2500.

Second and most important SCIO based project is "Hotline Project Russia" 2001+. Hotline project is performed by All-Russian National Academy of Mycology. It was started on April 4, 2001 and is planned to be running until fall 2002. At now more than 60000 subjects were examined. Hotline project deserves special description and this will be performed, but here we'll just mention SCIO incorporation into it:
  • Epidemiologic factors (age/sex/concurrent disease/source, etc.) will be examined with reference to SCIO.
  • Duration of the disease, presense of tinea pedis, number of involved nails and other special factors will be measured vs. SCIO
  • Life quality will be examined in correlation with SCIO
Pilot results of hotline project will be ready at spring 2002.
