I am Md. Habibur Rahman, a Senior Research Assistant and Data Analyst, dedicated to advancing public health through data-driven research. I specialize in data analysis, statistical modeling, and visualization, utilizing tools like Python, R, and Stata to uncover insights that drive impactful public health solutions. My work has contributed to studies on major health issues, including cardiovascular disease and infectious diseases, and I’ve co-authored several publications that address critical health challenges. Currently, I am pursuing further studies to deepen my expertise and expand my contributions to public health research.

Professional Project
Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome among Bangladeshi Adolescents May 2024 – Present
• Studying the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in apparently healthy school-going adolescents aged 10–18 years in Bangladesh.
• Conducting representative sampling and data analysis to identify risk factors and prevalence rates.
TRANSFORM II Randomized Controlled Trial (Sirolimus-coated Balloon Versus Drug-eluting Stent in Native Coronary Vessels) September 2023 – Present
• Multicenter, international randomized clinical trial comparing Magic Touch Sirolimus drug-coated balloon (DCB) versus
everolimus-eluting stent in native coronary vessel disease.
• Evaluating non-inferiority on target lesion failure (TLF) and superiority on net adverse clinical events (NACE) at 1 year.
• Patients followed clinically for up to 5 years to assess long-term outcomes.
Effect of Intravenous Iron on Functional Capacity in Patients with Ischemic Cardiomyopathy January 2022 – December 2022
• Conducted a randomized open-label study with 80 heart failure patients with iron deficiency and reduced ejection fraction.
• Compared intravenous ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) plus standard therapy versus standard therapy alone over 12 weeks.
• Observed significant improvements in 6-minute walk distance, LVEF, and NT-proBNP levels in the IV iron group.
Short-Term and Long-Term Outcomes Among COVID-19 Survivors: A Multi-Center Prospective Observational Study August 2021 – August 2022
• Investigated clinical, serological, and epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19 survivors over multiple phases.
• Evaluated persistence of symptoms and long-term effects, especially among patients with comorbidities and severe cases.
Effect of Trimetazidine on Functional Capacity in Patients with Ischemic Cardiomyopathy (TOFCAPI) January 2022 – February 2023
• Prospective observational study involving 200 patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and LVEF < 35%.
• Compared modified-release trimetazidine plus standard therapy versus standard therapy alone over one year.
• Measured exercise capacity and left ventricular function at 1- and 6-month follow-up.
