Abstract

Context: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a newly discovered disease, caused by SARS-CoV-2 and currently has become a pandemic. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is the most common complication in COVID-19. There were numerous conflicting results among articles related to it. The aim of this study is to ascertain the most compelling evidence about ARDS in COVID-19.Evidence Acquisition: This systematic review was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42020180379). A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, PubMed central, and Google Scholar on April 16, 2020. Two reviewers independently searched and selected the articles. The risk of bias was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality assessment tool.Results: A total of 1,647 articles were screened, 9 articles were included. Patients were classified as having various degrees of ARDS, the diagnosis of COVID-19 was confirmed by PCR nasopharyngeal swab.  Risk factors of ARDS in COVID-19 reported were older age, male gender, and pre-existing medical conditions. Cytokine storm was thought to play a role in the mechanism of ARDS. The main treatment for COVID-19 was supportive and symptomatic. To date, there is no antiviral treatment recommended for COVID-19 and the given treatment for ARDS in COVID-19 was similar to other pneumonia-induced ARDS. No additional therapy specific for ARDS in COVID-19 has been proposed.Conclusion: Our synthesis of the literature showed that there was no good evidence in the mechanism and treatment of ARDS. Further translation research in the mechanism of ARDS and continuing with clinical trials evaluating drug efficacy for ARDS in COVID-19 is needed.

Abstract

Background: COVID-19 is a respiratory infection caused by SARS CoV-2. A health-related disaster may result in a wide range of mental consequences, including PTSD. IES-R is a self-reported instrument, and it corresponds to DSM-IV symptoms of PTSD. However, there were scarce data about the validation of the Indonesian version of IESR.Aim: The purpose of this study was to validate the IES-R in the Indonesian adult population by comprehensively and systematically assessing the epidemiological evidence about PTSS during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. The IES-R questionnaire was translated from English to Indonesian, back-translated. All health workers were excluded to avoid the biased result. Pearson correlation and Cronbach's alpha coefficients to determine the validity and reliability of the questionnaire.Results: A total of 234 Indonesian-speaking adults completed the survey. The Indonesian IES-R had proven to be a valid (r= 0.756 -0.938, p= 0.000) and reliable (alpha coefficient: 0.858-0.868) measure for PTSS in a sample of Indonesian adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the final model which consisted of 3 subscales with 20 items demonstrated acceptable factor loadings.Conclusion: The results of this study suggested IESR is valid and reliable to be used in the Indonesian population especially during pandemics.

Abstract

Introduction : The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a pandemic involving all people and can be severe and life-threatening in a certain population such as those with comorbidity. Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is an autoimmune hematologic disease characterized with antibodies production that binds to red cell surface antigens. In this pandemic, several concerns have been raised by autoimmune disease clinicians and patients regarding the use of immunosuppressive drugs. In this case report, we illustrate the problems of autoimmune hemolytic anemia patient when she got active case.Case Illustration : A 28 years old lady was admitted to the hospital owing to fatigue and tiredness during exercise for two weeks. She had been diagnosed with autoimmune hemolytic anemia before and did not comply with the treatment. This patient has been reevaluated of having AIHA from the symptoms of fatigue, enlarged spleen, low hemoglobin, increased reticulocytes, signs of hemolytic in blood smear examination, increased indirect bilirubin, LDH and the Combs’ test result was given positive. She received methylprednisolone 2 mg/kg of body weight intravenously, washed packed red cells (PRC), calcium and proton pump inhibitor. She was discharged at the seventh day since admission and she was prescribed oral methylprednisolone equal to 1 mg/kg body weight.Conclusion : This is an educated case of non-compliance of AIHA that should be given high dose steroid and blood transfusion during hospitalization amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The recommendation of treatment for AIHA was still the same as before the pandemic occured.

Abstract

Introduction: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a pandemic. Much false information was circulating especially through social media and affected individual’s knowledge, attitude, practice (KAP) towards COVID-19. Currently, there is lack of validated questionnaires to assess KAP about COVID-19 especially in Indonesian young people.Aim: To develop and validate a new COVID-19 KAP questionnaire for young people population in Indonesian language.Methods: Some literature review was done to look for the concept to generate a new questionnaire.  Open-ended questions were generated to know the baseline knowledge. Then, close-ended questions were formulized for knowledge, attitude, and practice area. The experts and several respondents were asked to give their opinions about the contents of the questionnaire. The validity was examined using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. For reliability, internal consistency was examined by using Pearson or Spearmen correlation test.Results: A total of 59 subjects with median ages 21 (16-24) years old of non-medical individuals were included in this validation process. More than half were male, mostly held bachelor’s degree/diploma, and were dominated with students. This Indonesian COVID-19 KAP questionnaire for young people consists of 10 knowledge, 8 attitude, and 7 practice questions. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of knowledge, attitude, and practice areas were 0.87, 0.82, and 0.91, respectively.Conclusions: A questionnaire of KAP towards COVID-19 in Indonesian language had been developed and the results showed good validity.
