A survey of 461 AB-PMJAY hospitals across 20 states revealed that larger hospitals with adequate PPE and dedicated COVID-19 facilities maintained both emergency and elective services, while smaller hospitals struggled with staff attrition and revenue loss. Strengthening PPE supply, staff support, and data-driven resource allocation can improve healthcare resiliency during pandemics.

We developed a Hospital Preparedness Index (HOSPI) using survey responses from 954 hospitals across India, capturing readiness across five domains. Preparedness varied widely, with Goa scoring highest and clusters of states showing either strong or poor COVID-19 readiness.
The effects of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) adherence on survival in patients undergoing revascularization and the determinants of DAPT adherence
Shuqi Zhang, Mithlesh Chourase, Nupur Sharma, Sujata Saunik, Mona Duggal, Goodarz Danaei & Bhanu Duggal
In a cohort of 2,064 low-income PCI patients in Maharashtra, 22.8% discontinued DAPT within a year, and non-adherence doubled the risk of 1-year mortality (HR = 0.52 for adherent patients). Younger age, male sex, and use of antihypertensives predicted better adherence.
Survival outcomes post percutaneous coronary intervention: Why the hype about stent type? Lessons from a healthcare system in India

A large multicenter study in Maharashtra (2012–2016, n=4595) found that total stent length and number of stents were the strongest predictors of 1-year survival after PCI, surpassing age. Drug-eluting stents were associated with fewer rehospitalizations and better outcomes, especially after price caps improved accessibility.
