Abstract

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) remains a significant public health concern in tropical regions, including Bali, Indonesia. Understanding the patient demographics, clinical presentations, and laboratory findings associated with DHF is crucial for effective disease management and control. This study aimed to investigate these aspects in patients hospitalized with DHF at Wangaya Regional General Hospital in Bali. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted, analyzing medical records of patients diagnosed with DHF between January and June 2024. Data collected included demographics, clinical manifestations, laboratory parameters, disease severity, and hospital stay duration. Descriptive statistics and comparative analyses were performed. A total of 410 patients were included, with a male predominance (54.9%). The most affected age group was 18-25 years (43.2%). Common clinical manifestations included fever (100%), headache (83.6%), myalgia (74%), and nausea/vomiting (56.3%). Laboratory findings revealed thrombocytopenia (45.4% with platelet count <50,000/µL), leukopenia (74.3%), and elevated hematocrit (29.6%). Most patients presented with DHF grade I (65.1%), followed by grade II (31.7%). The median hospital stay was 4 days. DHF in Bali predominantly affects young adults, with males being more susceptible. The clinical presentation is characterized by fever, headache, myalgia, and gastrointestinal symptoms. Thrombocytopenia and leukopenia are common laboratory findings. The majority of patients experience mild to moderate disease severity. These findings contribute to a better understanding of DHF in Bali and can inform targeted public health interventions.

Abstract

The occurrence of osteoporosis and sarcopenia often increases in the elderly population, yet it frequently does not present clear complaints. Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mass and damage to the microarchitectural structure of bone, while sarcopenia refers to the loss of muscle mass, strength, and function. When both conditions coinside, the term used is osteosarcopenia. The presence of osteosarcopenia can increase the risk of falls, which may lead to fractures. Falls have a significant impact, both on individuals—including a decline in quality of life, the need for care in nursing homes, and even death—and on society, which faces rising healthcare costs. The purpose of this writing is to raise awareness about osteosarcopenia, which often receives insufficient attention, by providing an overview of this condition. With a better understanding, it is hoped that effective preventive measures can be taken to reduce the negative impacts caused by osteosarcopenia.
