Abstract

Abstract Objective: To determine the survival of pain complaints at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months and the correlation between age at diagnosis, age of menarche, parity, stage of disease and post-operative medication in endometriosis patient at RSUPN Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo. Methods: This was a prospective cohort study with survival analysis method of 139 women of productive age with endometriosis who came to Gynecology Outpatient Clinic in Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital from January 2015 to January 2017. The patients were observed at 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 12 months after the surgery. Results: Survival of pain complaints at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after endometriosis operation was 99.2%, 96.6%, 93% and 88.4% respectively. There was no significant correlation between post-operative pain survival and age of diagnosis (p=0.138), age of menarche (p=0.492), parity (p=0.110) and stage of disease (p=0.908). There was a significant correlation between post-operative medical therapy and pain complaints survival. Subjects who were given medication had a risk of 0.26 times (CI 95% 0.081-0.857) pain recurrence compared to those who were not. Conclusion: Pain complaints survival were significantly associated with post-operative medical therapy, but not associated with age, age of menarche, parity and stage of disease.

Abstract

Background: Natural killer (NK) cells play a role in pathogenesis of endometriosis. Lower expressions of NK cells receptor group 2D (NKG2D) ligands inhibits cytotoxic activity of NK cells; a common immunity avoidance mechanism in neoplasms. Literatures have proven miRNAs regulatory effect on NKG2D expression. There has been no specific biomarker for diagnosing endometriosis. Non-invasive means of diagnosing endometriosis may reduce well-known risks of invasive method of diagnosis and yield better results. Purpose: To investigate the correlation between miRNA-519a-3p expression with NKG2D ligands (MICA, MICB, ULBP 1-6) on endometriosis and non-endometriosis patients. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study held in five centers: dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital, Pelni Hospital, Bunda Hospital, YPK Mandiri Hospital, and Primaya Evasari Hospital from October 2020 to July 2021. miRNA and NKG2DL analysis were done in Human Reproduction, Infertility and Family Planning (HRIFP) cluster at IMERI FKUI. Results: We obtained 19 patients in each study groups. NKG2D ligands and miRNA519a-3p relative expressions were not significantly different (p > 0.05). Increased miRNA519a-3p expression negatively affected NKG2D ligands expression. A decrease in ULBP1 and an increase in ULBP2 increased the probability for endometriosis. NKG2D ligands expression may be influenced by infection, pro-inflammatory cytokine production, dan polymorphism. NKG2D ligands expression level can be different depending on the origin of the sample. Lower expression of miRNA519a-3p indirectly inhibits tumor apoptosis by lowering NKG2D ligands, caspase, or mRNA. Conclussion: We did not manage to establish a correlation between NKG2D ligands with miRNA519a-3p in endometriosis and non-endometriosis patients.

Abstract

Background: Hysterectomy is the most common non-obstetric surgery in adult, reproductive-age women. Hysterectomy with or without ovarian conservation is known to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. However, only a few studies regarding its immediate and short-term effects on hypertension are available. This study aimed to determine changes in blood pressure after a hysterectomy procedure.Methods: This study is a prospective cohort study of patients who underwent a total hysterectomy procedure with or without ovarian conservation at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Indonesia, from July 2018 to July 2020. Samples were grouped into patients with total hysterectomy only or hysterectomy with ovarian conservation (HT/HTSOU) and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy hysterectomy (HTSOB). Statistical analysis was done using paired t-test and Wilcoxon test. Results: There were 80 patients included in this study (40 for each group). A significant increase in all blood pressure components occurred at 12 months after the HT/HTSOU and HTSOB procedures (p < 0.05). After six months of the HTSOB procedure, the increase in blood pressure components only occurred in systolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure (MAP) (p < 0.05).Conclusions: There was a significant increase in all blood pressure components in the HT/HTSOU and HTSOB group at 12 months following hysterectomy while there was a significant increase in systolic blood pressure and MAP in the HTSOB group at 6 months following hysterectomy.

Abstract

A decrease in serum anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) concentration suggests the reduction of antral follicle number. AMH serum level was correlated with ovarian stimulation outcomes, oocyte quantity and quality, embryo quality and in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes. However, the use of AMH to predict pregnancy rates in IVF is still debatable. This study aimed to determine the role of AMH in predicting ovarian response and pregnancy rates in IVF programs. This was a retrospective cohort study involving patients who underwent a short protocol of ovarian stimulation for IVF at the Yasmin clinic, dr Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital. from March 2013 to March 2021. A total of 1,527 out of 3,880 IVF cycles were included. Poor ovarian response was determined as a collection of fewer than four oocytes following ovarian stimulation. The data was then analyzed using the Mann Whitney test if the data distribution was not normal or the unpaired t-test if the data distribution was normal. Median AMH levels were higher in the normal (2.5(0.01-32)) compared to poor responder (0.68(0.01-6.86)) group (p<0.05; Mann Whitney). Serum AMH level and age had predictive value for pregnancy rate (p<0.05; Mann Whitney). Keywords: AMH, ovarian response, pregnancy rate, IVF.   Kadar Hormon Anti-Müllerian sebagai Prediktor Luaran Fertilisasi in Vitro Abstrak Penurunan konsentrasi serum hormon anti-müllerian (HAM) menunjukkan penurunan jumlah folikel antral. HAM serum berkorelasi dengan luaran stimulasi ovarium kuantitas dan kualitas oosit serta kualitas embrio dan luaran fertilisasi in vitro (FIV). Namun, penggunaan HAM untuk memprediksi angka kehamilan dengan stimulasi ovarium pada FIV masih diperdebatkan. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui peran serum HAM dalam memprediksi respons ovarium dan laju kehamilan pada program FIV. Penelitian ini adalah studi kohort retrospektif yang melibatkan pasien yang menjalani protokol singkat stimulasi ovarium pada program FIV di klinik Yasmin rumah sakit dr Cipto Mangunkusumo.dari bulan Maret 2013 sampai Maret 2021. Sebanyak 1.527 dari 3880 siklus IVF dimasukkan ke dalam penelitian. Dikatakan perespon buruk apabila diperoleh kurang dari empat oosit setelah stimulasi ovarium. Data kemudian dianalisis dengan menggunakan uji Mann Whitney bila sebaran data tidak normal atau uji t tidak berpasangan bila sebaran data normal. Median kadar HAM lebih tinggi pada kelompok perespons baik (2.5 (0.01-32)) dibandingkan perespons buruk (0.68 (0.01-6.86)) (p<0,05; Mann Whitney). Kadar HAM serum dan usia memiliki nilai prediktif terhadap angka kehamilan (p<0,05; Mann Whitney). Kata kunci: hormon anti-Müllerian, respons ovarium, angka kehamilan, FIV.

Abstract

Objectives: To compare estradiol levels and proinflammatory biomarkers (IL-6, IL-1B, and COX-2) in endometriosis patients with pain and without pain after progestin therapy. Methods: This observational cross-sectional study involved 47 endometriosis patients undergoing three months of progestin therapy at RSUPN Cipto Mangunkusumo from March to June 2024. Serum levels of COX-2, IL-6, IL-1B, and estradiol will be measured using ELISA and Microplate Enzyme Immunoassay, with pain status assessed to determine associations between biomarkers and pain presence. Results: A significant difference in COX-2 levels between patients with pain and those without, with higher levels in the pain group [1.845 (1.24-10.26) vs 1.55 (0.32-3.07), p = 0.004]. A significant positive correlation was found between IL-1Beta and IL-6 (r = 0.471, p = 0.001). COX-2 levels also exhibited a weak but statistically significant positive correlation with VAS scores (r = 0.360, p = 0.013). Conclusion: There is a difference in inflammatory markers IL-6, IL-1 Beta and COX-2 in endometriosis patients with progestin therapy who experience pain and painlessness. Keywords: endometriosis, estradiol, proinflammation, progestin therapy.

Abstract

BackgroundThe endometrial preparation phase preceding embryo transfer assumes pivotal significance in achieving optimal endometrial receptivity and ensuring the success of pregnancy. The natural cycle (NC) and artificial cycle (AC) are the preferred methods for many in vitro fertilization (IVF) specialists. The objective of this study was to compare the difference between NC and AC in women undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) after IVF. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted involving 150 adult women who underwent FET with a single autologous blastocyst stage embryo in a 5-year period (2014-2019). Bivariate analysis was conducted to discern implantation and pregnancy rates associated with NC and AC for endometrial preparation. Multiple logistic regression was used to assess the association between endometrial preparation and clinical outcomes while adjusting for potential confounders. ResultsOf the 150 subjects meeting study criteria, 19 underwent NC, while 131 underwent AC for endometrial preparation. Natural cycle exhibited a higher biochemical pregnancy rates compared to AC (89.5% vs. 53.4%; p=0.003). Artificial cycle is a significant determinant for biochemical pregnancy rates compared to NC (aOR: 0.132;95% CI: 0.028 – 0.623; p=0.010) ConclusionIn women undergoing FET, NC resulted in higher biochemical pregnancy rates compared to AC. However, clinical pregnancy rates and ongoing pregnancies rates did not exhibit significant disparities between NC and AC. Future studies will hopefully further illuminate which protocol is most suitable for the individual patient. Further multi-center randomized clinical trials are needed to confirm the relationship between biochemical pregnancy rates and NC.

Abstract

Abstract Background Family planning remains a key intervention in reducing maternal mortality and creating prosperous families. Assessing the unmet need for family planning allows insight into the progress of family planning programs. On the other hand, there has been much less attention given to the declining fertility rate in Indonesia. To address both the unmet need and declining fertility rate in Indonesia, this study aimed to investigate the most recent trends in contraceptive use in Indonesia as well as evaluate fertility concerns and access to reproductive healthcare service. Methods Women of reproductive age in Indonesia were asked to fill in an online questionnaire. They were asked about sociodemographic characteristics, marital status, pregnancy history, perception towards fertility, and access to healthcare service and information. Descriptive statistics and independent t-test were performed. Results Of 370 women, more than half (57.8%) had used some form of contraception. The most frequently used contraceptive method was natural family planning (30.3%), followed by condom (20%). Women with no prior sexual history, had never been pregnant before, and had not been married cared more about having a child in the future. Internet and social media represented the most popular information source for family planning. Conclusions Many Indonesian women still prefer traditional contraceptive methods over the more effective modern contraceptive methods. Numerous socio-cultural factors are likely to influence the behaviour of reproductive-age women regarding contraceptive use and childbearing in the future. More effort should be put into raising awareness about modern contraceptive methods and addressing fertility concerns. Keywords: contraception; fertility; family planning; awareness; reproduction
