Abstract

Coronavirus Disease-19 (Covid-19) is an infectious disease that has become a pandemic since March 11, 2020. PCR (Polymerase chain reaction) swab is a definitive diagnostic tool for Covid-19, because it has a high level of sensitivity and specificity. One of the symptoms of this infection is anosmia. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the symptoms of anosmia and the positive RT-PCR swab results in Covid-19 diagnostics. This study used a systematic review and meta-analysis method that was in accordance with PRISMA. From 16 articles that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, we selected 12 articles through EPHPP that reported smell disorder among Covid-19 patients. Four reports studied whether smell disorder was independently associated with Covid-19 diagnosis. The frequency of anosmia ranged between 7,5-95%. Anosmia has high specificity for detecting Covid-19 but has low sensitivity. There was a strong relationship between anosmia symptoms and positive RT-PCR swab results. This showed that anosmia can be a marker for patients to carry out further investigations.

Abstract

Introduction: Trabeculectomy with mitomycin-C (MMC) is a widely used surgical intervention for the management of glaucoma. This study aimed to evaluate changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) before and after surgery, using statistical analyses of pre-operative and post-operative IOP measurements. Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of MMC in trabeculectomy and its role in enhancing surgical success. Methods: This retrospective observational study analyzed the medical records of 65 eyes from 52 glaucoma patients who underwent trabeculectomy with 2% MMC at Undaan Eye Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia, between 2022 and 2023. Post-operative IOP was assessed at one, three, six, and twelve months. Statistical analyses were performed to identify patterns of IOP change over time. Results: A Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by Dunn's post hoc analysis (p < 0.001), revealed significant differences in IOP between the pre-operative and post-operative periods (p < 0.05). However, no significant differences were found among post-operative follow-up intervals (p > 0.05). Correlation analysis of IOP categories (< 20 mmHg vs. ≥ 20 mmHg) across observation points showed a negative correlation (r = -0.491, p < 0.001), indicating a tendency for IOP reduction over time. Regression analysis estimated that IOP decreased by approximately 1.141 mmHg per month. Conclusions: Significant reductions in IOP were observed post-operatively, with a sustained downward trend compared to pre-operative values. These findings provide valuable insights into the long-term effectiveness of trabeculectomy with MMC, emphasizing factors that optimize surgical outcomes for glaucoma management.
