Abstract

Hypoalbuminemia is a risk factor for medical treatment. Albumin has been shown to be a predictor in a number of studies in various settings. Several studies examined albumin as a marker of nutritional status and its association with outcomes (eg, mortality and length of hospital stay). In critical illness, the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE III) risk score includes serum albumin levels and shows a strong inverse correlation between serum albumin and mortality in critically ill patients. This research was conducted observationally to analyze the use of oral albumin and the factors that influence the success of therapy in the Lung Inpatient Room at Dr Soetomo Regional Hospital for the period 1 January – 31 October 2022. Patients diagnosed with Community Pneumonia, Lung Cancer and Lung Tuberculosis. This research was carried out by collecting secondary data via e-medical records. Data taken were patient demographic data (name, gender, weight, age, length of stay) and albumin data before and after receiving oral albumin. From the research results, the number of samples was 87. The number of samples was 87 patients. Of the 87 patients, 66 male patients (75.86%) were 21 female patients (24.14%), the largest age range was 51 - 60 years, 21 patients (24.14%). The highest body weight ranged from 61-70 kg for 50 patients (57.47%), the longest length of stay ( Length of Stay ) was 10-20 days for 45 patients (51.72%). The most common primary diagnosis was new tuberculosis in 42 patients (48.28%). The highest use of oral albumin was more than 100 capsules, as many as 20 patients (22.99%) with the highest duration of use being 10-19 days, namely 38 patients (43.68%). The statistical results show that there is no significant difference between before receiving oral albumin and after receiving oral albumin with a value of P = 0.541. Factors that influence the success of oral albumin therapy are length of stay with a value of P = 0.001 * Keywords: Oral albumin, pulmonary tuberculosis, lung cancer, pneumonia, length of stay

Abstract

Tuberculosis is a lung disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Antibiotics have a therapeutic effect by attacking infectious organisms and also eliminating other bacteria that are not the cause of the disease, leading to changes in the ecosystem of normal flora, which results in natural disturbances in microbial ecology. An imbalance in the normal flora can lead to the colonization of respiratory fungi, which will attack the mucosa and proliferate. This study aims to identify the factors that influence the success of antifungal therapy in TB patients with fungal co-infection at Dr. Soetomo Regional General Hospital. The design of this study is retrospective, using electronic medical record data with a total sampling technique conducted during the data collection period from January 1 to December 31, 2024. The total sample is 30 patients. Based on the results, the majority of the gender was male with 20 patients (70.0%), and the largest age group was 51-60 years old with 16 patients (53.3%). The most common Body Mass Index was normal in 18 patients (60%). As many as 20 patients (66.7%) had diabetes mellitus. The most common domicile was Surabaya, with 16 patients (53.3%), and 27 patients (90.0%) had a history of smoking. The BTA examination results showed the highest number of BTA-negative cases in 18 patients (60.0%), the highest number of Geneexpert tests with MTB detected as rifampicin-sensitive in 15 patients (50.0%), the highest number of treatment phase in the intensive phase in 19 patients (63.3%), and the highest number of OAT regimens in 4 KDT in 24 patients (80.0%). As many as 27 patients (90.0%) received antibiotic therapy, either single or combination, during their hospitalization, with the longest duration of antibiotic use being 1-13 days for 20 patients (66.7%). The results of positive fungal cultures were found in 16 patients (53.3%), with the longest duration of antifungal administration being < 14 days in 28 patients (93.3%). Based on the univariate data results, there are 5 variables with a p-value < 0.05, namely gender, age, body mass index, disease history, and tuberculosis drug regimen, which means there is a significant relationship with therapy outcomes. Gender affects therapy outcomes with a p-value of 0.049, which is less than α (p < 0.05). Age with a p-value of 0.029, which is less than α (p < 0.05). Body mass index with a p-value of 0.048 is less than α (p < 0.05). History of type 2 diabetes mellitus with a p-value of 0.033 is less than α (p < 0.05). From the analysis of factors influencing the success of antifungal therapy in TB patients with fungal co-infection, the factors are gender, age, body mass index, medical history, and tuberculosis regimen.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a global health problem, and anti-tuberculosis drugs (ATD) often cause hepatotoxic side effects (Drug-Induced Liver Injury/DILI). Turmeric (temulawak) with its curcumin content has the potential to be a hepatoprotector. This study aims to analyze the use of Curcuma tablets and the factors influencing the success of therapy in TB patients with impaired liver function. Methods: This study uses a retrospective cohort design with a Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA) approach. A sample of 70 TB patients with DILI at Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya from January to December 2024 was taken using consecutive sampling. Demographic, clinical, laboratory (SGOT, SGPT), and data were extracted from electronic medical records. Data analysis was performed using univariate, bivariate (Chi-Square), and multivariate (logistic regression) tests. Results: The research results showed that the majority of participants were male (75.7%), with the largest age groups being between 51-60 years and >60 years (32.9% each). Residing in Surabaya (52.9%). The majority of patients were normal weight (55.7%), had a history of smoking (52.9%), did not have a history of diabetes mellitus (67.1%), and had a history of hypertension (82.9%). The BTA examination result was positive (55.7%) and the TCM result was "MTB Detected Rifampicin Sensitive" (61.4%). Undergoing therapy with the OAT 4 FDC regimen or intensive phase (65.7%) in the intensive phase (90%). The most common length of stay was between 6-10 days (34.3%), and the most frequent therapeutic outcome was improvement (78.6%). Based on the bivariate data analysis, only one variable had a p-value < 0.05, which was age, indicating a significant relationship with the treatment outcome. Patients aged 51-60 and > 60 years old influenced the treatment outcome with a p-value of 0.016, which is less than α (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The research findings indicate that gender, smoking history, diabetes mellitus history, hypertension history, BTA test results, TCM (Molecular Rapid Test) results, length of hospital stay, and duration of curcuma tablet administration did not show a significant relationship with treatment outcome. Age, domicile, BMI (Body Mass Index), treatment phase, and OAT (Anti-TB Drug) therapy regimen showed a significant relationship with treatment outcome. Age is the most influential risk factor for treatment outcome. Further research with a larger and multi-center sample is recommended to strengthen the findings.Keywords: Curcuma, DILI, Pulmonary TB, Hepatoprotector.

Abstract

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a serious side effect of first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs (isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, ethambutol) in drug-sensitive tuberculosis (TB SO) patients, which can lead to treatment interruption and drug resistance. This retrospective observational study aims to analyze the usage patterns in TB SO patients with DILI using patient medical records from January 1 to December 31, 2024. The variables analyzed include demographic characteristics and the ATT regimen. Out of 100 patients, the majority were male (61%), aged 18-59 years (58%), and had a BMI <18.5 kg/m² (68%). All patients (100%) suffered from pulmonary TB; 74% were new cases and 26% had a history of previous treatment. DILI most often occurs in the first month of the intensive phase (74%). Comorbidities were found in 66% of patients (diabetes mellitus 48%, hypertension 18%). A history of smoking was reported in 51% of patients. Management of DILI: 61% underwent modification of the RHZE regimen, 39% experienced temporary cessation followed by reintroduction. The most common non-hepatotoxic regimen was streptomycin-levofloxacin-ethambutol (SLE) in 83% of modified cases. Severe DILI was found in 53% of patients and very severe DILI in 47% of patients. DILI remains a significant challenge in the treatment of SO TB, especially in patients with malnutrition, diabetes mellitus, and a history of smoking. Modification of the regimen and strict monitoring of liver function are crucial to improving clinical outcomes. Keywords: DILI, drug-sensitive tuberculosis, hepatotoxicity, anti-tuberculosis drugs
