Abstract

Background: COVID-19 reinfection has been identified and is being studied. Several risk factors, including being a health worker and having A blood type, are linked to reinfection, and comorbidities such as hypertension, obesity, diabetes, and asthma influence the disease's severity. To identify mutational variations associated with viral virulence and spread, genetic studies are required. The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 reinfection, as well as patient characteristics and risk factors related to SARS-CoV-2 reinfection. Subjects and Method: This is a retrospective cohort study using data from the medical records of patients with COVID-19 reinfection treated at the Dr. Moewardi General Hospital (RSDM) Surakarta from March 2020 to June 2021. A sample was collected from 19 men and 20 women. The degree of COVID-19 infection is the dependent variable. Gender, occupation, comorbidities, and immunization history were the independent variables. The entire sampling method was employed in this investiga¬tion (consecutive sampling). Data is handled in Microsoft Excel 2010, and statistical analysis is performed in SPSS version 20.0. Results: COVID-19 re-infection is equally likely in men and women. The average patient age was 42 years, with patients ranging in age from 25 to 73 years. Patients in the study were classified as either health workers or non-health workers, with 29 (76.3%) and 9 (23.7%) respectively. Due of restricted resources, the average period of COVID-19 re-infection is 197.6 +/- 97 days without genomic sequence investigation. Comorbidities were discovered in 11 of 38 COVID-19 reinfection patients (29%) Only 6 individuals (15.8%) with COVID-19 reinfection had a history of vaccination. Conclusion: Using convalescent plasma to treat patients with COVID-19 is a rather safe practice. Our analysis demonstrated that the administration of convalescent plasma did not enhance survival or clinical outcomes for COVID-19 patients with moderate to severe disease.

Abstract

Background: Adherence to treatment guidelines and bacteriological conversion are the main indicators of successful treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis patients. Evaluation of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and the effect of treatment on HRQoL are often ignored. HRQoL assessment is an interesting outcome to evaluate and improve. Drug-resistant tuberculosis patients suffer not only from the disease but also from the effects of the treatment. Method: This study used a cross-sectional design to determine the correlation of body mass index (BMI), sputum conversion status, and adverse drug events severity with the HRQoL of drug-resistant tuberculosis patients. Quality of life assessment using the WHOQol-BREf questionnaire. The study was conducted in October 2022 at dr. Moewardi Hospital, Surakarta and Dr. Ario Wirawan, Salatiga. Determination of the sample by total sampling method. Results: HRQoL in 33 study subjects ie, 15 subjects had good HRQoL and 18 subjects had poor HRQoL. The media for each quality of life domain are the physical domain 43.00±6.20, psychological domain 33.21±8.83, social domain 28.21±11.01, and environmental domain 33.45±6.38. Statistical analysis with rank Spearman showed that there were a relationship between BMI (P=0.018), sputum conversion status (P=0.002), and adverse drug events severity (P=0.0001) with HRQoL of drug-resistant tuberculosis patients. Conclusion: BMI, sputum conversion status, and drug adverse events severity affect HRQoL of drug-resistant tuberculosis patients.

Abstract

Background: Pain is a common symptom in lung cancer patients and can affect their quality of life. Interleukin 6 (IL-6) plays a role in malignant cell proliferation and differentiation as well as the initiation and persistence of cancer pain. Hypnosis can reduce pain by reducing anxiety through relaxation and/or directly affecting neurophysiological activity that underlies the subjective experience of pain. This study aimed to evaluate hypnotherapy as a non-pharmacological method for managing cancer pain. Methods: Clinical trial of 30 subjects with quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test in treatment and control groups of lung cancer patients of NSCLC and SCLC stage III and IV who experienced cancer pain with pain scale ≥3 at RSUD Dr. Moewardi Surakarta in June to August 2023 with a consecutive sampling method. The treatment group received hypnotherapy intervention for 4 weeks. Subjects were assessed for pain scale, interleukin-6 levels, and FACT-L quality of life questionnaire. Results: A 4-week hypnotherapy intervention can significantly reduce the pain scale (P=0.0001) and improve the quality-of-life FACT-L (P=0.002) in lung cancer patients experiencing cancer pain. Hypnotherapy also significantly reduced IL-6 in the treatment group (P=0.008), but when compared with the control, the results were not significant (P=0.345). Conclusion: Hypnotherapy may reduce the pain scale and improve the quality of life of lung cancer patients who experience cancer pain, but does not significantly lower IL-6 levels.

Abstract

Background: Acute lung parenchymal infection, known as pneumonia, can be carried on by multiple microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Globally, community-acquired pneumonia is a major factor of morbidity, mortality, and health issues. Malondialdehyde (MDA) is a marker of oxidative stress in pneumonia patients, and interleukin 6 (IL-6) is a marker of inflammatory process. Effect of Omega-3 as an immunomodulator, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant may be implemented as adjunctive therapy in patient with community-acquired pneumonia.Methods: Clinical trial research with a true experimental method and pretest-posttest design. The study involved 30 community-acquired pneumonia patients who were admitted at Moewardi Hospital in Surakarta and Dr. Soehadi Prijonegoro Hospital in Sragen from August to September 2022 by consecutive sampling. The control group (n=15) received standard therapy, and the treatment group (n=15) received standard therapy plus Omega-3 at a dose of 1600 mg/day. IL-6 and MDA levels were measured when the subject was admitted to the hospital and there was clinical improvement.Results: There was a significant difference in reduced IL-6 levels (P=0.001), decreased MDA levels (P=0.001), and the duration of clinical improvement (P=0.042) between the treatment group and the control group. There was a moderate correlation between the decrease in IL-6 (R=0.480) and MDA (R=0.459), while the duration of clinical improvement had a strong correlation (R=0.756) in the treatment group.Conclusion: Supplementation of Omega-3 was effective in reducing IL-6, MDA levels, and the duration of clinical improvement in community-acquired pneumonia patients.

Abstract

Background: COVID-19 reinfection has been found, although the data is not clear yet. Pandemic conditions bring about limited facilities and infrastructure, so biomarkers are an option. Research on biomarkers and the use of ACE inhibitor drugs in COVID-19 patients has not been widely conducted in Indonesia.Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study that used medical record data of confirmed COVID-19 patients treated at dr. Moewardi General Hospital for the period of January to March 2022. Surviving patients were observed for reinfections until November 2022.Results: This study involved 524 medical records of confirmed COVID-19 patients. After exclusion and inclusion criteria, 517 medical records were obtained. D-Dimer cut-off values of ≥2435 were significantly related to severity (OR=2.05; 95% CI=1.38-3.06; P≤0.001) and mortality (OR=2.89; 95% CI=1.95-4.27; P≤0.001) of COVID-19 patients. Hs-CRP levels ≥4.59 were significantly associated with mortality in COVID-19 patients (OR=1.82; 95% CI=1.23-2.69; P=0.003). The use of ACE inhibitors (OR=0.55; 95% CI=0.33-0.89; P=0.015) was a protective factor from mortality but increased the risk of reinfection (OR=3.11; 95% CI=1.16-8.36; P=0.034). Conclusion: D-Dimer and Hs-CRP biomarkers could be considered as predictor biomarkers for the severity and mortality of COVID-19 patients. Although the use of ACE inhibitors increased the risk of reinfection, it reduced the risk of mortality due to COVID-19.

Abstract

Background: Pneumonia is a major health problem in all age groups and often related with sepsis. In 2021, Surviving Sepsis Campaign Guidelines mentioned several clinical scoring systems to identify patients with potentials of developing sepsis, such as systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), national early warning score (NEWS), quick sequential organ failure assessment (qSOFA) and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA). The guideline stated that there is no gold standard for diagnosing sepsis, contradicting The Sepsis-3 Guideline in 2016 that mentioned SOFA score as a gold standard for diagnosing sepsis.Methods: Subjects were all patients with pneumonia and sepsis who were treated in Dr.Moewardi Hospital within 1 January to 31 December 2022. Data from subjects’ medical records were collected to assess their NEWS, SIRS, qSOFA, and SOFA score on the day of admission. Since evaluation of SOFA score needs a number of components requiring laboratory results and takes longer time so they made a simpler tool called qSOFA to avoid delayed treatment of the patients.Results: NEWS is more consistent with SOFA compared to SIRS and qSOFA (Kappa value = 0.726 vs 0.320 vs 0.22; respectively). NEWS, SIRS, and qSOFA were all significantly correlated with mortality (P<0.001) with NEWS having the strongest correlation (r=0.482 vs 0.216 vs 0.175; respectively). Only NEWS showed significant correlation with the length of stay (r=0.129; P<0.001).Conclusion: NEWS was the most consistent score to SOFA compared to SIRS and qSOFA. NEWS was also the best predictor for mortality and was the only score correlated with length of hospital stay.
