Abstract

Background: Breast cancer is a type of malignancy with the highest number of cases in the world and Indonesia. The C-reactive protein-albumin ratio (RCA) is a simple, feasible, and objective breast cancer serum marker representing inflammatory and nutritional status. There are not many studies regarding the relationship between RCA and breast cancer metastasis, especially in the advanced-stage case population in Indonesia.Method: Study with a cross-sectional design in 180 breast cancer patients stage III and IV at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, who were diagnosed in 2018 until 2023. Comparative analysis of the RCA values between the groups with and without metastasis was carried out using the Chisquare test. All statistical test results are considered significant if the p-value is 0.05.Results: A receiver-operating characteristic curve (ROC) is a graphical analytical technique used to assess the effectiveness of a binary diagnostic classification method. The ROC area under the curve (AUC) value was 0.713 (IC 95%; 0.638–0.789) and significance 0.001, with the RCA cut-off value was 0.515 with sensitivity 74.4% and specificity 67.8%. The high RCA proportion was 53.3%. There is a significant relationship (p-value 0,001) between RCA level and the risk of metastasis in breast cancer patients. Liver and lung metastases of breast cancer are the most frequent locations. Conclusion: The CRP-albumin ratio has a significant relationship with the incidence of metastasis in breast cancer

Abstract

Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) is the third-leading cause of death worldwide. COPD treatment is essential to manage and attenuate the progression of symptoms. Home-based telemonitoring interventions showed several promises in increasing COPD patients' quality of life (QoL) and outcomes. However, various results were obtained in recent studies, making a secondary research presence needed to establish clear risks and benefits. This study aimed to analyze the effect of telemonitoring on QoL among COPD patients. Methods: This study used the Preferred Reporting Items of Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) reporting guidelines on several databases from February until April 2023. We performed screening and selection, followed by data extraction and quantitative analysis with Review Manager 5.4 Software. The risk of bias assessment was performed using the RoB 2.0 Cochrane tool. Results: Ten randomized controlled trials (RCTs), mostly low-risk of bias, were included. We found a reduction in Saint George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) score (mean difference (MD) -1.13 [95% CI -4.23, 1.97; p = 0.47]) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) for anxiety (MD-0.16 [95% Cl -0.96, 0.63; p = 0.69]). There was no significant effect of HADS on depression and EuroQol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D). Conclusion: This study suggests that telemonitoring improves QoL in COPD patients, especially for SGRQ and HADS anxiety scores. We suggest a larger number of studies to evaluate the effect of telemonitoring on depression and anxiety. We also encourage the integration of telemedicine with the present care system to achieve the best beneficial outcome for patients.
