Abstract

Adherence to taking medication is essential for patients with chronic diseases such as Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). There have been many studies about the association between medication adherence and HbA1c levels, but few have used Adherence Refills and Medications Scale (ARMS) questionnaire and Proportion of Days Covered (PDC) method to measure adherence in Indonesian population. The aim of this study were to assess the association of medication adherence to HbA1c levels and compare two methods of adherence measurements. This research was conducted at Pasar Minggu Public Health Center, Jakarta using a cross-sectional design. The adherence assessment was conducted using a validated Indonesian version of the ARMS questionnaire and compared to the pharmacy refill adherence method using the PDC calculation. One hundred twenty-seven T2DM patients (75.6% female) with mean age of 58.69 years were recruited. The proportion of adhere patients as measured by ARMS was only 39.4% (50/127). Meanwhile, the proportion of adhere patients as measured by PDC was 77.2% (98/127). Adherence by both measurement showed significant associations with HbA1c <7% (ARMS, OR 4.000 (95% CI 1.705 – 9.386), p = 0.002; PDC, OR 5.674 (95% CI 1.266 – 25.438), p = 0.024). After controlled by covariates, the result remained significant (ARMS, aOR 4.281 (95% CI 1.785 – 10.267, p = 0.001; PDC, aOR 5.83 (95% CI 1.287 – 26.405), p = 0.022). Adherence and HbA1c levels was significantly associated even after controlling covariates. ARMS and PDC generated different proportions of adhere patients and may indicate the need of combining the two methods in measuring adherence.

Abstract

The World Health Organization (WHO) has developed prescription and patient care indicators, accompanied by optimal benchmarks, aimed at promoting the rational and optimal medicine use. This study aims to evaluate drug services utilizing WHO prescription and patient care indicators at the hospital General Practitioner (GP) outpatient clinic. The research was conducted retrospectively for prescription indicators, consisting of 1505 prescriptions totaling 4647 medication items administered for 804 individuals between January and December 2022. Prospective data collection to evaluate patient care was conducted from April to May 2023. Evaluation of WHO prescription indicators yielded the following results: the average number of drugs prescribed per patient was 3.09 ± 2.00; the percentage of drug prescribed by generic drug names was 47.47%; the percentage of antibiotic prescriptions was 5.46%; the percentage of injectable drug prescriptions was 6.80%; and the percentage of prescriptions in accordance with the national formulary was 75.91%. The percentages of antibiotic and injectable drug prescriptions met the optimal WHO prescription values. In terms of patient care, the results showed that the average duration of a medical consultation was 12.44±8.1 minutes, the average duration of a drug dispensing was 45.65±28.8 minutes, 96.25% of the drugs were dispensed appropriately, 100% of the drugs were labeled adequately, and 78.78% of the patients were knowledgeable. Age (p=0.111) and gender (p=0.075) showed no significant correlation with patient knowledge. There was a significant relationship between education level (p=0.014) and patient knowledge. Prescription and patient care indicators are aspects of improvement to meet the optimal benchmarks according to WHO standards.

Abstract

The most prescribed antidiabetic drugs in Indonesian primary health care are metformin or a combination of metformin and sulfonylurea. Studies on metformin have shown various impacts on cognitive decline in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, whereas sulfonylurea has been shown to reduce this impact. This study aimed to compare the impacts of metformin and metformin-sulfonylurea on cognitive function and determine what factors affected it. This cross-sectional study was conducted at Pasar Minggu Primary Health Care involving 142 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients taking metformin or metformin-sulfonylurea for > 6 months and aged > 36 years. Cognitive function was assessed using the validated Montreal Cognitive Assessment Indonesian version. The effects of metformin and metformin-sulfonylurea on cognitive decline showed no significant difference, even after controlling for covariates (aOR = 1.096; 95% CI = 0.523–2.297; p-value = 0.808). Multivariate analysis showed age (OR = 4.131; 95% CI = 1.271–13.428; p-value = 0.018) and education (OR = 2.746; 95% CI = 1.196–6.305; p-value = 0.017) affected cognitive function. Since a lower education and older age are likely to cause cognitive decline, health professionals are encouraged to work with public health experts to address these risk factors for cognitive function.

Abstract

COVID-19 is a major public health problem, with still questionable specific cure. Favipiravir is a COVID-19 antiviral that is potentially a therapy for COVID-19. This study aimed to analyze its effectivity and safety in moderate to critical hospitalized patients. This study was a retrospective cohort in a tertiary referral hospital in Denpasar City, Bali Province, Indonesia, from August 2020 to January 2021. There was a total of 192 patients; 96 in the favipiravir group and 96in the non-favipiravir group (remdesivir/oseltamivir). Effectivity was measured by assessing the clinical condition at the end of the isolation period of 14 days. The favipiravir group showed better clinical conditions than the non-favipiravir group (79.2% vs. 56.3%; adjusted RR = 2.196; 95% CI = 1.084 – 4.451; p-value= 0.029), seen from being free of fever and respiratory problems. Stratification analysis demonstrated that the clinical improvement was significantly differentin the severe/critical group in favor of favipiravir (RR = 1.573; 95% CI = 1.139-2.172). The most common non-serious adverse events (AE) found in the use offavipiravir were gastrointestinal disturbances (12.5%). In brief, favipiravir is effective in severe/critical cases, and less serious AE were found in its use. Appropriate treatment is expected to help in reducing the public health burden.
