Abstract

Background. COVID-19 infection, both moderate and severe symptoms can cause pneumonia that can be detected on a chest X-ray. Along with the increasing severity of the clinical picture of COVID 19, it can also trigger a cytokine storm, one of which is an increase in Interleukin-6 levels. This study was conducted to see the correlation between IL-6 levels with clinical features and chest radiographs in patients with COVID-19 Methods. This research is a cross-sectional study using an observational analytic. The samples in this study were confirmed COVID-19 patients who were being treated at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital, Palembang. A history and physical examination were performed to determine the clinical picture as well as a chest X-ray and IL-6 levels. Results. There were 31 samples of COVID 19 patients. High levels of IL-6 were found in 26 (83.9%) samples. The clinical picture of the patient was dominated by dyspnea as much as 19 (61.3%), fever 16 (5.6%), low O2 saturation 12 (38.4%) and a chest X-ray of pneumonia 26 (83.9%). There was a significant relationship (P<0.05) between IL-6 levels with clinical features and chest X-rays. The R-value on the thorax with pneumonia (0.692), lesion area (0.711) and clinical features with temperature (0.906), respiratory rate (0.706) indicated a strong correlation, while O2 (-0.732) indicated a strong negative correlation. Conclusion. There is a significantly strong correlation between Interleukin 6 levels with clinical features and chest X-rays in patients with COVID-19.

Abstract

Background. SLE is an autoimmune disease characterized by the presence of autoantibodies in the nucleus, deposition of immune complexes, and can attack various body tissues. Gut biota in this case short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) play a role in the inflammatory process in the SLE, while the levels of IL- 6 can also be associated with a response to inflammation which will be seen in the degree of SLE activity. This study aims to determine the correlation of SCFA Gut biota and IL - 6 with SLE degree activity. Methods. This study is a cross-sectional study with a correlation test design, conducted from November 2021-January 2022 at RSMH Palembang with the research subjects being all SLE patients seeking treatment at the Allergy-Immunology Division of RSMH Palembang with categories of mild and moderate-severe SLE activity degree. Examination of SCFA Gut biota using stool samples and serum IL-6 levels were associated with SLE activity degree. Statistical analysis of the correlation test with Spearman for numerical data not normally distributed, and continued with linear regression test to assess the multivariate analysis in this study. Results. The sample consisted of 32 patients, every 16 patients with mild and moderate-severe SLE activity degrees. The correlation between SCFA Gut biota with SLE activity degree was found to have a correlation coefficient of r=-0.777 with p=0.000. Correlation between IL-6 with SLE activity degree obtained a correlation coefficient of r=0.910 with p=0.000, while the correlation test between IL-6 and SCFA Gut biota obtained r=-0.633 with a value of p=0.000. Multivariate analysis found that 70.5% of SCFA Gut biota and IL-6 affected SLE activity degree. Conclusion. SCFA Gut biota and IL-6 had a significant correlation in statistical tests with the SLE activity degree.

Abstract

Background: The elderly and geriatric population is the population most at risk for complications of COVID-19. Preliminary data show that individuals aged >59 years are estimated to experience five times more severe COVID-19 symptom onset than those aged 30 to 59 years. Nutritional status is believed to play a role in the body's ability to produce antibodies after COVID-19 vaccination. Methods: A cross-sectional analytic observational study to determine the role of nutritional status on levels of IgG SARS-CoV-2 after COVID-19 Vaccination in Palembang. IgG levels were assessed by the ECLIA method. Data analysis was carried out univariate and bivariate. Results: The mean quantitative IgG of SARS-CoV-2 in underweight nutritional status was higher with a value of 5757.42±2594.08 U/mL and with the lowest mean quantitative IgG SARS-CoV-2 in overweight nutritional status with a value of 2998.13±4386.95 U/mL. Conclusion: Nutritional status did not play a role in SARS-CoV-2 IgG levels after the COVID-19 vaccination in Palembang.

Abstract

Background: The need for tracheostomy increases during the coronavirus diseases 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. However, some studies suggest that tracheostomy causes dysphagia which can lead to other health problems such as pneumonia, choking, weight loss, malnutrition, and dehydration with serious side effects. This study aims to determine the factors associated with the incidence of dysphagia in patients using a tracheal cannula. Methods: This study is an observational study using a cross-sectional design. Data collection was carried out using medical record data on 58 patients who used a tracheal cannula recorded in the medical record data for the FEES examination at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital Palembang from January 2019 to September 2021. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, chi-square, and multiple logistic regression. Results: Of 58 patients who used a tracheal cannula, it was found that 75.9% had dysphagia. The results of the comparison test showed that the factors associated with the incidence of dysphagia were gender (p=0.001), nutritional status (p=0.013), incision location (p=0.043), and primary disease (p=0.021). Factors that were not associated with the incidence of dysphagia were age (p=0.933), tracheostomy indication (p=0.741), and the type of tracheal cannula (p=1,000). Patients are male, with low and high tracheal cannula incision locations, and have a primary neurological disease. The probability or chance of dysphagia is 79.8%. Conclusion: Tracheostomy can cause dysphagia which is influenced by gender, location of tracheal cannula incision, and primary disease.

Abstract

Background: The rRT-PCR examination is very effective as a diagnostic tool for COVID-19 but cannot be a full reference as an evaluation examination because rRT-PCR is able to capture the genetic material of the virus without ensuring that the virus is still alive or only dead particles. This study aims to explore the correlation between absolute lymphocyte values and the severity of COVID-19 at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital Palembang. Methods: This study is an observational study involving 413 research subjects at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital. Data analysis was carried out univariate and bivariate. Results: The absolute number of lymphocytes with the severity of COVID-19 has a negative correlation, with a strong correlation strength, which is expressed by the value of r = -0.617 and the degree of significance of p = 0.000. Conclusion: There is a correlation between absolute lymphocyte count and the severity of COVID-19 at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital Palembang.
