Abstract

This research aims to determine the factors that influence tuberculosis infection in children with close contact with adult pulmonary tuberculosis sufferers. This research is an analytical observational study with a consecutive sampling method at the Glugur Darat Health Center in November 2024 until January 2025. Bivariate analysis using chi-square to determine whether there is a relationship between the independent and dependent variables. The type of test used is the Fisher Exact and Kruskal Wallis Test. There is no multivariate test because there are no significant variables in the bivariate test. In total, in 42 samples there were 10 children with positive Mantoux tests. Of the 23 female children there were 7 (30.4%) with positive results and of the 19 male children there were 3 (15.8%) positive results. Of the 39 children with a history of BCG immunization, there were 10 (25.6%) with tuberculosis infection. Of the 37 children with parents whose income was <UMR, 10 children (27%) had tuberculosis infection. 37 children whose parents had junior high school education, 9 people (24.3%) had tuberculosis infection. 10 children aged 1-5 years and 6-10 years, there were 2 (20%) each with tuberculosis infection. 26 children aged 11-18 years, there were 6 people (27.3%) with tuberculosis infection. There was no significant relationship between age, gender, immunization status, nutritional status, parental income and parental education level in this research.

Abstract

The prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) among children and adolescents has been progressively increasing, with Type 1 DM constituting the majority of cases. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major long-term complication, yet early cardiac involvement remains poorly understood in this population. This study aimed to assess the association between glycaemic control and cardiac function in paediatric patients with DM. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted involving 30 children with type 1 or type 2 DM at H. Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan. Glycaemic control was assessed using HbA1c levels. Cardiac function was evaluated using electrocardiography (ECG) and echocardiographic parameters, including ejection fraction (EF), fractional shortening (FS), tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), and E/A ratio. Data were analysed using Chi-Square and Mann-Withney Test. Most subjects (90%) had poor glycaemic control (HbA1c ≥7%). Cardiac dysfunction (reduced EF <55%) was identified in 16.7% of patients. However, no statistically significant associations were found between cardiac function and HbA1c, duration of diagnosis, blood pressure, or body mass index (BMI) (p>0.05). There was no significant relationship was found between glycaemic control and cardiac function, highlighting the need for more sensitive diagnostic tools and long-term follow-up to detect subclinical cardiovascular complications.
