Abstract

Introduction: Cataracts are still one of the causes of blindness worldwide. Indonesia is known for the highest cataract prevalence in Southeast Asia. Therefore, early detection is vital to slow the progression of visual impairment caused by cataracts, thereby increasing the quality of life, especially in the elderly. We aimed to analyze risk factors of cataract incidence at the Sumberasih Public Health Center. Method: A retrospective analytical study was conducted with a total of 100 samples that were divided equally into a cataract group and a control group. The data was analyzed using the SPSS program. Result: A majority of cataract subjects are women (62%), pre-elderly (40%), working exposed to UV sun rays (60%), cigarette smoke (78%), and having abnormal body mass index (58%). We found that gender, UV exposure based on occupation, hypertension history, cigarette smoke exposure, and body mass index were significantly correlated to cataract incidence, respectively, p = 0.009, p = 0.016, p = 0.037, p < 0.001, and p = 0.045. The Chi-square test results p < 0.025 were followed by logistic regression, and gender was the most influential risk factor of cataract incidence, approximately 4.050 times (CI 95%: 1.427 - 11.498). Conclusion: Cataracts can be caused by several risk factors. Hopefully, risk factors discovered as early as possible can reduce the risk of developing cataracts.

Abstract

Introduction: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), an acute complication of type 1 (insulin dependent) diabetes mellitus (T1DM), can be precipitated by infection. Procalcitonin (PCT) is an accurate marker of bacteremia, sepsis, and inflammation, however white blood cells (WBC) are still often used by clinicians. We aimed to analyze PCT levels and WBC counts in children with DKA.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia, between 2015 and 2019. T1DM and DKA diagnosis was based on the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes. PCT levels and WBC counts were measured in samples from patients with and without DKA, and were compared using the Mann-Whitney test.Results: A total of 41 samples were included, with 15 samples (36.6%) from children with DKA, and 26 (63.4%) from children without DKA. PCT levels and WBC counts were significantly higher in those with DKA (p less than 0.001). The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of WBC was lower than PCT (0.849 vs. 0.982). PCT had a higher sensitivity and spesificity as an infection marker than WBC (93.3 vs. 86.7; 92.3 vs. 88.5, respectively).Conclusion: PCT is a better infection marker in children with DKA than WBC
