Abstract

Stroke is a global health issue with high morbidity and fatality rates. Treatment decisions for ischemic stroke rely on clinical outcome prediction. The NIHSS score is commonly used to predict the AIS's clinical outcomes. However, its use is hindered by its complexity, which requires the assessment of many variables. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a simpler yet still effective evaluation tool in assessing the AIS’s clinical outcome. The study aimed to predict AIS outcomes using the blood urea nitrogen to albumin serum ratio (RBA). This study was a prospective cohort study design, with subjects being first-time AIS patients hospitalized at RSUP Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo and several hospitals in Makassar from December 2022–April 2023. Demographic and clinical data were collected, assessing RBA and comparing it according to the good (mRS 0-2) and poor (mRS 3-6) outcome groups. RBA performance was assessed by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis to assess the AIS's clinical outcome. The study's findings on 62 participants meeting the criteria revealed a significant association between RBA and the AIS's clinical outcome (p-value=0,0004). The mean RBA differed significantly between the good and poor AIS outcome groups (p-value =0,006). In the ROC analysis, the area under the curve (AUC) was 0,75 with an optimal cut-off value was 2,05, yielding a sensitivity of 41,67%, a specificity of 98%, and a likelihood ratio of 20,83 (p-value=0,007). In conclusion, RBA can be used as a simple and objective tool to determine the clinical outcome predictors of AIS.

Abstract

Diabetic Painful Neuropathy (DPN) is caused by the progressive loss of nerve fibers due to hyperglycemia, oxidative stress, andhomocysteinemia. Mecobalamin supplementation has shown potential in improving peripheral neuropathy symptoms by enhancing nerve conduction and alleviating neuropathic pain. However, its efficacy data remains limited. This research to investigated the effect of mecobalamin supplementation on the severity of Painful Diabetic Neuropathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. This research is a non-randomized clinical trial, 16 patients were given 500 ?g of intramuscular Mecobalamin 8 times over 30 days (n=8) and 5 times over 10 days (n=8). Subjects underwent measurements VAS, TSS, BDNC and ENMG before and after intervention. VAS (p-value=0,022), TSS (p-value=0,020) and BDC (p-value=0,003) was significant improved in 8 times administration group. VAS (p-value=0,045) dan BDC (p-value=0,014) was significant improved in 5 times administration group, where TSS improved but not significant. The 8 times administration group was better compared to the 5 times administration group in improvement of VAS (p-value=0,016). Based on this research, The addition of mecobalamin 8 times and over 5 times in the management of Diabetic Neuropathic Pain can be useful in reducing neuropathic pain.
