Abstract

Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a clinical condition characterized by massive proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, edema, and hypercholesterolemia. Frequently relapsing NS, steroid-dependent NS, and steroid-resistant NS are categorized as problematic owing to treatment difficulties. These patients require prolonged high-dose steroid therapy or immunosuppressants, resulting in significant side effects. This study evaluated the nutritional status and laboratory characteristics of NS in children undergoing steroid and non-steroid therapies. This study is the first to assess the nutritional status and laboratory characteristics of children with difficult-to-treat NS who received steroid and non-steroid therapy at RSUDZA Banda Aceh. A cross-sectional study was conducted at the outpatient clinic and pediatric ward of Dr. Zainoel Abidin General Hospital, Banda Aceh, in 2019, which was a limitation because it was conducted during the Covid-19 pandemic so that the number of research subjects was limited, which could have caused bias in the study. Statistical analyses included the chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test for categorical variables and the independent sample t-test or Mann-Whitney test for numerical variables, with a 95% significance level (p < 0,05). A total of 60 children aged 2–18 years participated in this study, with 29 receiving steroid therapy and 31 receiving non-steroid therapy. Urine protein levels and relapse incidence differed significantly between the groups (p < 0,001). However, the serum albumin, urea, creatinine, calcium, and total cholesterol levels were not significantly different. No significant differences were observed in the laboratory characteristics between the steroid and non-steroid therapy groups. However, the non-steroid group exhibited a better urine protein status and fewer relapses, indicating potential therapeutic advantages.

Abstract

Background The initial response in the first three months of valproic acid therapy is a prognostic factor for predicting treatment success, and it is considered to be poor if seizures persist during the three months of valproic acid treatment. Several factors might influence the initial response to valproic acid therapy, including gender, age, family history of epilepsy, electroencephalogram (EEG), head circumference, type of seizure, cerebral palsy, and pre-therapy seizure frequency. Objective To determine the risk factors for poor early response to valproic acid therapy in children with epilepsy. Methods This retrospective cohort study was conducted in children newly diagnosed with epilepsy. Data were collected from medical records of patients who had been treated at the Pediatric Polyclinic of dr. Zainoel Abidin Hospital for one year. Results Of 90 subjects, most were male (58; 64.4%) and aged three years or older (79; 87.8%). Forty-five (50%) patients had a family history of epilepsy. More than a quarter of the subjects (35; 38.9%) showed initial poor responses to valproic acid therapy. Bivariate analysis revealed risk factors for poor initial response to valproic acid therapy were age ≥ 3 years, family history of epilepsy, normal EEG, normal head circumference, generalized seizure type, cerebral palsy, and pre-therapy seizure frequency. However, multivariate analysis revealed that risk factors for poor initial response to valproic acid therapy in children with epilepsy that retained significance were family history of epilepsy (RR 6.58; 95%CI 1.67 to 25.95; P=0,001), abnormal EEG (RR 5.27; 95%CI 1.16 to 23.87; P=0,000), focal seizures (RR 7.10; 95%CI 1.15 to 43.80; P=0,000), and cerebral palsy (RR 62.62; 95%CI 3.93 to 996.45; P=0,001). Conclusion The risk factors for poor initial response to valproic acid therapy in children with epilepsy are family history of epilepsy, abnormal EEG, focal seizures, and cerebral palsy.

Abstract

Background Nephrotic Syndrome (NS) is a progressive kidney disease in children that can lead to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Understanding the interactions between various risk factors is critical in developing new strategies to prevent the progression of CKD in pediatric patients with NS. Objective To determine the risk factors for the progression of CKD in children with nephrotic syndrome at Dr. Zainoel Abidin Public Hospital, Banda Aceh. Methods This analytical observational study with a cross-sectional approach was conducted from September 2021 to September 2023. Data were obtained from medical records of 52 children aged 2 to 18 years in the inpatient and outpatient wards of Dr. Zainoel Abidin Public Hospital, Banda Aceh who met the inclusion criteria. Bivariate analysis using the Chi-square and Fisher's tests and multivariate analysis using logistic regression test were performed. Results Of 52 subjects, most were male and over ten years of age; 53.8% of subjects had Stage 1 CKD. The majority of stage 3-5 of CKD cases had immunosuppressive toxicity and anemia, while the majority of all subjects had hyperfiltration and proteinuria. Risk factors for CKD progression in children with NS are Hypertension (OR 2.54; 95%CI 0.32 to 20.1; P=0.003), immunosuppressant toxicity with (OR 33.67; 95%CI 2.59 to 437.5; P=0.007) and anemia (OR 33.92; 95%CI 2.77 to 414.5; P=0.006). Conclusion Hypertension, immunosuppressant toxicity and anemia for CKD progression in children with NS.

Abstract

To determine the correlation between Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) and Platelet Distribution Width (PDW) with Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction (PELOD-2) scores as prognostic markers in pediatric sepsis. This prospective cohort study included 44 pediatric sepsis patients admitted to the PICU at Dr. Zainoel Abidin Hospital from July to September 2024. PELOD-2 scores and blood indices were assessed on admission (Day 1) and Day 3. Pearson correlation was used to analyze the relationship between variables. The majority of patients were female (59.1%) and under one year old (31.8%). By Day 3, 68.2% of patients exhibited MPV levels exceeding 10.4 fL. Significant moderate correlations were found between Day 3 MPV and PELOD-2 (r=0.410; p=0.006), Day 3 PDW and PELOD-2 (r=0.518; p=0.001), and the changes ($\Delta$) in PDW versus PELOD-2 scores (r=0.471; p=0.005). Increases in MPV and PDW are significantly correlated with PELOD-2 scores, suggesting their potential utility as accessible prognostic markers in pediatric sepsis management.
