Background: Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) is a malignant tumor originating from placental trophoblast which causes mortality due to bleeding. Trophoblast produces beta hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). Quantitative examination of serum beta hCG is used to support the diagnosis and management of GTN. Hysterectomy is performed in bleeding conditions as the main therapy besides chemotherapy. This study aims to analyze differences in beta hCG levels before and after hysterectomy in GTN patients at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang. Methods: Retrospective observational analytical research design cross-sectional from 21 samples of GTN patients for the period July 2021 to June 2023 at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang. Quantitative beta hCG level examination is carried out before and after the hysterectomy. The Shapiro-Wilk test was carried out for data normality and continued with the Wilcoxon nonparametric tests to find out significant differences in beta hCG levels. Results: The most common characteristics of GTN patients were age ≥35 years, namely 15 (71.4%) patients, multiparity in 14 (66.7%) patients, and indication for hysterectomy due to bleeding in 14 (66.7%) patients. The median beta hCG level before hysterectomy was 46,000 (117.10-653,874) mIU/mL and the median after hysterectomy was 113.3 (0.12-3,693) mIU/mL. Beta hCG levels after hysterectomy were found to be normal (<5 mIU/mL) in five patients (23.8%). There was a significant difference in beta hCG levels before and after hysterectomy (p <0.001). Conclusion: Beta hCG levels after hysterectomy decreased compared to before hysterectomy. Hysterectomy therapy is useful for reducing beta hCG levels in GTN patients.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). SARS-CoV-2 infection triggers a systemic inflammatory response that can lead to a decrease in serum albumin levels. A more severe inflammatory response in non-survivor COVID-19 patients may correlate with a more significant decrease in albumin levels. This study aims to analyze differences in mean albumin levels in COVID-19 survivors and non-survivors. Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study involved 40 COVID-19 survivors and non-survivors treated at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang from July 2021 to September 2021. Serum albumin levels were checked using an automated clinical chemistry tool. Data analysis was carried out using the Mann-Whitney non-parametric test, with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: The mean age of the study subjects was 49.4 (16.3) years, with the majority of cases occurring in men (67.5%). The median albumin levels in all COVID-19 patients, COVID-19 survivors, and COVID-19 non-survivors were 3.2 (2.20–5.00) g/dL, respectively; 4.1 (3.0–5.0) g/dL; and 2.9 (2.20–3.70) g/dL (p = 0.001). Conclusion: There is a significant difference in mean albumin levels between COVID-19 survivors and non-survivors. Lower albumin levels were found in non-survivor patients. Albumin can be a potential biomarker for predicting clinical outcomes of COVID-19 patients.

Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by a positive single-stranded RNA virus. The clinical manifestations of COVID-19 are not only dominated by respiratory tract symptoms but can also show symptoms of liver damage in severe COVID-19 patients. Liver damage that occurs can cause acute liver failure and result in death. Examination of liver damage marker parameters such as total bilirubin needs to be carried out as mortality increases in COVID-19 patients. This study aims to determine the relationship between total bilirubin levels and mortality in COVID-19 patients. Methods: Cross-sectional analytical research was conducted on 40 COVID-19 patients treated at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang from July to December 2021. Examination of total bilirubin levels using the colorimetric diazo method. Bivariate analysis used the Mann-Whitney test to see the relationship between total bilirubin levels and mortality. Results: The average age of the research subjects was 61.85 (1.40) years, with 65% men and 35% women. The mortality percentage in COVID-19 patients is 65%. The median total bilirubin level was 1.95 (0.5-2.8) mg/dL. The relationship between total bilirubin levels and mortality in COVID-19 patients was found to have a p-value of <0.001. The study results showed that the median total bilirubin level in COVID-19 patients who died was relatively higher, namely 2.20 (1.4-2.8) mg/dL, compared to those who did not die, namely 0.70 (0.5-1. 6) mg/dL. Conclusion: The results of this study show that there is a relationship between total bilirubin levels and mortality in COVID-19 patients.
