Abstract

Introduction: EDH is a collection of blood clots between the dura layer and the cranium. This is usually caused by rupture of the middle meningeal artery but can also be caused by rupture of the dural venous sinus, diploic vein, meningeal vein, or bleeding from the fracture line. CT scan is the investigation of choice to detect intracranial injury after trauma. CT scans can also identify additional features that influence the results, namely, midline shifting, blood clot thickness and hematoma volume, cerebral edema, and cranium fractures. This study aimed to determine the accuracy of bleeding volume as a predictor of mortality in epidural hemorrhage patients undergoing surgery at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital, Palembang Indonesia. Methods: This study is a retrospective study of prognostic tests to determine the accuracy of bleeding volume as a predictor of mortality in patients with EDH who underwent surgery at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital. This study uses secondary data obtained from medical record data at the medical records installation of Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital, Palembang, Indonesia. A total of 106 research subjects participated in this study. Results: The sensitivity value of bleeding volume was 77.7%, and specificity was 78.3%, and also obtained a positive predictive value of 7.21% and a negative predictive value of 97.4%, it can be concluded that bleeding volume is not accurate as a predictor of mortality. Conclusion: Bleeding volume is not an accurate predictor of mortality in epidural hemorrhage patients undergoing surgery at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital, Palembang Indonesia.

Abstract

Introduction: D-dimer reflects the upregulation of the overall hemostatic system upon admission. If D-dimer levels increase, coagulation disorders appear. This is considered a poor prognostic factor. High D-dimer levels reflect the severity of brain injury. Activation of systemic coagulation causes extensive intravascular fibrin deposition and a decrease in platelets and coagulation factors. This study aimed to assess the accuracy of D-dimer as a predictive biomarker for outcomes in head injury patients at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital, Palembang, Indonesia. Methods: This study is a prospective prognostic test study to test the sensitivity and specificity of D-dimer for prediction mortality in patients with severe head injuries at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital (RSMH) Palembang in the period June 2023 to August 2023. A total of 47 research subjects participated in this study. Results: Post 24-hour D-dimer levels have a cut-off point of 11.78 mg/L, which has high accuracy in poor outcomes. D-dimer levels after 5 days have a cut-off point value of 2.3 mg/L and have high sensitivity in predicting poor outcomes, and the value of the difference in changes in D-dimer based on poor outcome patients have a cut-off point of 3.33 mg/L, which has a high sensitivity in predicting a poor prognosis. Conclusion: D-dimer levels are quite accurate as a predictive biomarker for outcomes in head injury patients at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital, Palembang, Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Osteoporosis is a prevalent bone disease characterized by reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and increased fracture risk. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of fat mass (FM) and muscle mass measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) in predicting osteoporosis in older adults. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 109 outpatients aged 60 years and older. FM parameters (total fat mass, visceral fat level, and fat mass index [FMI]) and muscle mass parameters (total muscle mass, appendicular skeletal muscle mass [ASM], and appendicular skeletal muscle mass index [ASMI]) were measured using BIA. Osteoporosis was diagnosed based on BMD measurements using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to determine cut-off points and assess the accuracy of BIA parameters in predicting osteoporosis. Results: The prevalence of osteoporosis was 52.3% (n=57). The optimal cut-off points for predicting osteoporosis were: total fat mass >36.25%, visceral fat level >12.05, FMI >7.82 kg/m2, total muscle mass <37.82 kg, ASM <16.795 kg, and ASMI <6.895 kg/m2. Among the FM parameters, visceral fat level had the highest accuracy (AUC = 60.9%, sensitivity = 64.9%, specificity = 78.8%) while FMI had the lowest (AUC = 53.5%, sensitivity = 56.1%, specificity = 57.7%). For muscle mass parameters, ASM showed the highest accuracy (AUC = 74.0%, sensitivity = 70.2%, specificity = 76.9%). Conclusion: BIA-derived FM and muscle mass parameters, particularly visceral fat level and ASM can be used to predict osteoporosis in older adults with good accuracy. This non-invasive and accessible method may be useful as a screening tool for osteoporosis, especially in settings where DXA is unavailable.
