Analysis of these records indicated that, for every million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) caused by communicable, maternal, perinatal and nutritional conditions, by noncommunicable diseases, or by injuries, the ICTRP database contained an estimated 7.4, 52.4 and 6.0 trials in which these causes of burden of disease were being investigated, respectively. For every million DALYs in high-income, upper-middle-income, lower-middle-income and low-income countries, an estimated 292.7, 13.4, 3.0 and 0.8 registered trials, respectively, were recruiting in such countries.\nCONCLUSION: The ICTRP constitutes a valuable resource for assessing the global distribution of clinical trials and for informing policy development for health R\u0026D. Populations in lower-income countries receive much less attention, in terms of clinical trial research, than populations in higher-income countries.Étudier et, dans la mesure du possible, connaître la composition actuelle du «paysage mondial» en termes de recherche et de développement (R\u0026D) dans le domaine de la santé à partir de données provenant du système d’enregistrement international des essais cliniques de l’Organisation mondiale de la Santé (ICTRP)."}
