Abstract

The article proposes an arrangement of burn status for the management of severe based on a review of management of burns. More than 95% of burns are associated with fatal fires and occur in low to middle income countries. A coordination between health officers within health facilities is crucial to provide proper management for severe burns. There is no standard yet for burn status in Indonesia. Burn status may provide better management of patients who are admitted with burns. In this article, the set of burn status was arranged for the management of patients with burns in the Saiful Anwar General Hospital. There are 3 types of burn status in this paper each for the respective use of emergency management, burn unit monitoring, and wound care evaluation. The purpose of this burn status is to facilitate a better coordination between health officers regarding management of burns in Saiful Anwar General Hospital. This paper can also become the basis of further studies regarding burns as a tool to collect data or as a basis to pioneer the standard of burn status in Indonesia to further improve the general quality of burn care and research in Indonesia. The system of medical record for patients is generally carried out to keep a record of the patient's disease progression, including the diagnosis and treatment plans carried out by doctors and medical personnel which are involved.

Abstract

Background: The incidence rate of myocardial infarction has been reportedly higher in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–infected individuals compared to in uninfected individuals. HIV infection is suggested to have increased the risk of myocardial infarction (MI). To review the incidence rate of myocardial infarction in HIV–infected individuals compared to in uninfected individuals in its relation to HIV infection as a potential risk factor of MI incident. A literature search was performed in Google Scholar, PubMed, and Cochrane databases with keywords “HIV risk myocardial infarction” and “myocardial infarction in HIV” ranging from 2013 to 2019. Inclusion criteria wasfull-text observational studies that reported the incidence rate of myocardial infarction in HIV–infected individuals compared to in uninfected individuals. A total of 6 studies were eligible for review. We performed the meta–analysis with Review Manager 5.3 in May 2019. We reviewed several studies that discussed the association between HIV infection and myocardial infarction. The incidence rate of MI is higher in HIV–infected individuals compared to in non–infected individuals. It is suggested that Framingham Risk Score does not directly contribute to the higher incidence of MI in patients with HIV. Several studies also reported that low CD4 cell count and HIV–1 RNA levels less than 500 copies/mL contribute directly to the risk of myocardial infarction. There is a higher incidence rate of myocardial infarction among HIV–infected individuals compared to among non–infected individuals. Several suggested factors include low CD4 cell count and HIV–1 RNA levels less than 500 copies/mL. Thus, it may be suggested that HIV infection is a potential risk factor of MI. Further studies are needed to better understand the mechanism of HIV infection as a risk factor of MI incident.
