Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an infectious disease caused by the dengue virus and transmitted through the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. Nutritional status is thought to play a role in the body's immune response to infection, including in regulating the number of lymphocytes that play a role in the immune system. However, the relationship between nutritional status and lymphocyte count in children with DHF still needs further study. This study aims to analyze the relationship between nutritional status and lymphocyte count in children with DHF at Dr. Pirngadi Hospital, Medan. This study used a cross-sectional design with secondary data from medical records of pediatric patients with DHF at Dr. Pirngadi Hospital, Medan for the period 2021-2022. The study sample was selected using the consecutive sampling method with a total of 35 samples. Data analysis was carried out using the Chi-Square test to determine the relationship between nutritional status and lymphocyte count. The majority of study subjects had normal nutritional status (80%), while 14.3% were malnourished and 5.7% were overweight. Most subjects had lymphocytosis (77.1%), while 20% had normal lymphocyte counts, and 2.9% had lymphocytopenia. Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between nutritional status and lymphocyte count (p=0.010).There is a significant relationship between nutritional status and lymphocyte count in children with DHF at Dr. Pirngadi Medan Regional Hospital. Children with malnutrition tend to have lower lymphocyte counts than children with normal or more nutrition.

Abstract

Tidak cukupnya kualitas tidur dapat menyebabkan kemampuan konsentrasi dapat menurun. Kualitas tidur yang baik dapat membantu mahasiswa dalam proses belajar karena dapat menjaga memori, konsentrasi, fungsi kognitif, intergrasi sensorimotor. Mahasiswa fakultas kedokteran merupakan kelompok paling tinggi risiko terkena gangguan tidur, karena tuntutan yang lebih besar dalam proses pembelajaran. Untuk mengetahui apakah ada hubungan kualitas tidur dengan konsentrasi belajar pada Mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas HKBP Nommensen Medan. Desain penelitian ini bersifat cross sectionalyaitu dengan menilai sampel pada satu waktu tertentu (specific time), observasional analitik dengan memanfaatkan data primer yang didapat langsung dari responden melalui wawancara dan kuisioner Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index dan uji konsentrasi Stroop Test yang telah tervalidasi. Responden dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 71 orang dengan menggunakan uji Fisher exact dengan hasil tidak ada hubungan antara kualitas tidur dengan konsentrasi belajar pada Mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas HKBP Nommensen Medan (p=0,571). Kualitas tidur terganggu tidak menyebabkan gangguan konsentrasi belajar pada mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran HKBP Nommensen Medan

Abstract

Introduction: The prolonged duration of tuberculosis (TB) treatment has led to an increase in non-compliance among TB patients undergoing anti-TB treatment, consequently leading to treatment failure and drug resistance, notably multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB). Individuals with poor nutritional status may elevate the risk of delayed sputum conversion in MDR-TB patients. The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) represents a laboratory parameter with potential as a prognostic indicator in patients suspected of TB infection. Methods: This was an analytical study with a cross-sectional design. The sample was drawn from the medical records of MDR-TB patients at Haji Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan, from October 2022 to March 2023 resulting in a total of 83 samples. Data analysis was performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25 software, and bivariate analysis was conducted using paired t-test. Results: Out of 83 MDR-TB patients, 50 (60.2%) were male. Based on nutritional status before three months of anti-TB treatment, the most common nutritional status was normal with 22 individuals (26.5%) and severely underweight with 36 individuals (43.4%). Following three months of anti-TB treatment, the majority had normal, totaling 39 individuals (47%). A total of 67 individuals (80.7%) experienced sputum conversion. The results indicated a significant difference between NLR before and after three months of anti-TB treatment (p = 0.000), as well as a significant difference between nutritional status before and after three months of anti-TB treatment (p = 0.012) at Haji Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan. Conclusion: Significant differences were observed in NLR and nutritional status before and after three months of anti-TB treatment.
