Abstract

Background: Although there are fewer COVID-19 cases in Indonesia, the pandemic is still ongoing. COVID-19 has a significant death rate in Indonesia, but lack of information on the effect of different clinical and demographic factors on COVID-19-related grimness and mortality in Indonesia. Objective: This study examined the clinical profile, treatment, and outcomes of patients with COVID-19 at Lahat Regency Hospital in South Sumatera, Indonesia, to find relevant markers that might be utilized to predict the prognosis of these patients. Methods: This was a retrospective single-center study of all medical record files of confirmed patients with COVID-19 admitted to Lahat Hospital from September 2020 to August 2021 (n = 285). Descriptive statistics, Chi-square, Mann-Whitney, Multiple Logistic Regression, and Cox's proportional hazards model were used for data analyses. Results: This study included 65 non-hospitalized and 220 hospitalized patients. Hospitalized patients were divided into dead and alive groups. The median age was lower in the non-hospitalized group without gender discrimination, and most hospitalized patients had comorbidities. Vital signs and clinical features were significantly different in hospitalized patients compared to non-hospitalized. The survival patients in the hospitalized group showed lower white blood cell (WBC), neutrophil percentages, and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) but higher lymphocyte and eosinophil. Non-survival patients had elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, blood glucose, and potassium. The use of Favipiravir and Remdesivir was significant between the alive and dead groups. The mean hospital stay for all patients was 9.49 ± 4.77 days, while the median duration of hospital time was 10.73 ± 4.33 days in the survival group and 5.39 ± 3.78 days in the non-survival group. Multiple logistic regression analysis determined respiration rate, WBC, and BUN as predictors of survival. Conclusions: Age and comorbidities are significant elements impacting the seriousness of COVID-19. Abnormal signs in laboratory markers can be used as early warning and prognostic signs to prevent severity and death. Potential biomarkers at various degrees in patients with COVID-19 may also aid healthcare professionals in providing precision medicine and nursing.

Abstract

The Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) set the pushful 90-90-90 target in 2015. It can be a difficult target to achieve without a comprehensive understanding of HIV epidemiology. This study aims to identify demographic and clinical characteristics and determine the difference between CD4 counts pre and post-antiretroviral (ARV) therapy in HIV patients of HIV/AIDS at a Public Hospital in Palu. A retrospective cross-sectional study of 27 HIV/AIDS patients was conducted between January 2011 and December 2015. Data were collected from medical records and electronic registries for HIV/AIDS patients. The study included 27 patients with complete data set from 230 patients, 63% productive age (25 - 44 years), 77,8% male, 85,2% were employed, 48,1% were well educated (from senior high school and equal), and 59,3% were married. The majority of patients acquired HIV through heterosexual transmission, 40,7%. At the time of the first clinic visit, 40,7% of patients had WHO stage III HIV infection. The rates of Candidiasis and TB coinfections were 22,2% and 18,5%, respectively. ZDV/3TC/NVP (74,1%) is the most commonly used antiretroviral combination. The baseline CD4+ cells count was < 350 cells/mm3 in 100% (n = 27) of patients, CD4+ median 126 cells/mm3. After Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) 6 months, two patients had a normal range CD4 500-1300 cells/mm3, CD4+ median 203 cells/mm3. There was a significant increase in CD4 count after ARV therapy (p=0,000; p<0,05). It suggests that ARV therapy can improve CD4 and immune recovery in HIV/AIDS patients.

Abstract

Poorly controlled hypertension in hypertensive patients can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in the future. Some of the triggering factors are impaired kidney function which is characterized by an increase in creatinine levels and other factors as well, namely an increase in uric acid levels and an increase in blood sugar levels. This study aims to analyze the correlation between blood glucose, creatinine, and uric acid levels in hypertensive patients in Central Sulawesi. With a cross-sectional design, this observational study involved 50 adult hypertensive patients in health facilities. Data were taken from laboratory examination results during visits and analyzed descriptively and analytically. The results showed that 60% of hypertensive patients were female, 62% had a family history of hypertension, and 80% still had blood pressure that was included in the criteria for hypertension. As many as 34% of hypertensive patients had abnormal blood glucose levels, 32% had abnormal creatinine levels, and 26% had abnormal uric acid levels. Still, no relationship was found between the three with blood pressure (p> 0.05). The correlation between blood glucose and blood pressure was -0.221, creatinine and blood pressure was -0.112, and uric acid and blood pressure was 0.132. It can be concluded that there is a positive correlation with a very weak correlation strength between uric acid levels and blood pressure in hypertensive patients.
