Abstract

Background : Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The number of confirmed cases and deaths of COVID-19 continues to increase globally. Epidemiology and clinical characteristics of COVID-19 cases from Indonesia are scanty. High-quality evidence to understand the disease and can be used as a basis for policymaking. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the symptom factors and comorbidities associated with mortality in COVID-19 patients in South Tangerang from November 2020 to May 2021.Methode : A Case-control study of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in South Tangerang. The cases included 337 COVID-19 patients who died and 347 controls who were still alive. Data on age, gender, symptoms, and comorbidities were collected through Epidemiological Surveillance (ES) of COVID-19 patients at the South Tangerang Health Office from November 2020 to May 2021 in association with death and analyzed using chi-square test and simple logistic regression.Result : The results of multivariate analysis showed that risk factors such as age (OR=5.059; 95% CI: 3.209-7.974), gender (OR=2.650; 95% CI: 1.758-3.996), fever symptoms (OR=0.499; 0.331- 0.753), co-morbidities with diabetes mellitus (OR=15.94; 95% CI: 7.397-34.350), hypertension (OR=4.005; 95% CI: 2.440-6.572), heart disease (OR=7.249; 95% CI: 2.893-18.162 ) and chronic kidney failure (OR=12,523, 95% CI: 1,571-99,808) had an influence on the incidence of death of COVID-19 positive patients in South Tangerang.Conclusion : These findings indicate that older age, male gender, symptoms of fever, and comorbidities include a history of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, heart disease, and kidney failure due to the death of COVID-19 patients in South Tangerang. The need to enhance specific public health measures to reduce the risk of death in patients infected with COVID-19.

Abstract

Background: In recent years, artemisinin and piperaquine (PPQ) resistance in the Greater Mekong Sub-region alarmed Southeast Asian countries, especially those relying on artemisinin- based combinations as antimalarial drugs. This study aims to review the current status of malaria research and examine the frequencies of piperaquine resistance in Plasmodium falciparum isolates originating from malaria-endemic areas in Indonesia.Methods: We undertook a review to identify empirical data on antimalarial piperaquine-inclusive artemisinin combination therapies (ACT) in Indonesia using studies conducted since 2015. Journal articles were searched using the keywords combination of malaria, piperaquine, Pfcrt, Pfmdr, Pfpm2, and Indonesia. The search was conducted in four databases. Trends in empirical data were summarised in a table and compared with emerging malaria prevalence and conditions in Indonesia.Results: Our study found that dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (DHA-PPQ) is still effective in most area. Survey of PPQ resistance in regions using DHA-PPQ as the first-line treatment heavily depends on phenotypic tests of the given drug resistance. Molecular surveys exploring polymorphisms of Pfcrt, Pfmdr1, and Pfpm2 were not found.Conclusion: This study supports the use of dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine as the first-line antimalarial drug in malaria endemic areas of Indonesia. Further research examining efficacy is required to monitor piperaquine resistance in Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections globally. Female sex workers (FSW), especially in urban areas, face a higher risk of infection due to their risky work environment and lifestyle. Jakarta is a city that has cosmopolitan and urban characteristics with an active sex industry. This research was conducted to determine the factors associated with the incidence of chlamydia infection among FSWs in West Jakarta.Methods: The research was conducted using a cross-sectional design by analyzing data from the 2018-2019 Integrated Biological and Behavioral Survey (IBBS). The data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the chi-square test. Prevalence ratio (PR) was used as the measure of association.Results: Of the 283 FSWs involved in the study, the positivity rate of chlamydia infection in West Jakarta reached 42.8%. Significant risk factors for chlamydia infection among FSWs in West Jakarta include younger age, divorced status, recently becoming a sex worker, and having ≥ 5 customers per week.Conclusion: The high rate of chlamydia infection among FSWs in West Jakarta highlights the need to increase outreach to FSWs in order to educate them about STIs and encourage them to perform regular screenings, especially for young FSWs.

Abstract

Background: Pneumonia is a communicable disease that causes the largest under-five children death in the world. Meanwhile, Indonesia contributed 19.000 cases of under-five deaths due to pneumonia in 2018. Pneumonia can inhibit the growth and development in under-five children, cause decreased lung function or even lead to death. The pneumonia symptoms is less specific and almost the same as the flu or a common cough, makes this disease difficult to detect and difficult to treat optimally. This study was aimed to determine variables that affect the pneumonia in under-five children in Indonesia in 2018.Methods: This study used descriptive analysis and multilevel binary logistic regression. It used secondary data from the Riskesdas 2018, publication of Profil Kesehatan Indonesia 2018, and official website of Badan Pusat StatistikResult: The results indicated that in 2018, there were about 6.4 percent of under-five children who experienced pneumonia. The age of under-five children, gender, nutritional status, maternal education level, type of residence, house’s ventilation, and poverty rate per province significantly affected the status of pneumonia in under-five children in Indonesia.Conclusion : This study was expected to be able to increase public awareness about pneumonia in under-five children and can prevent under-five deaths due to pneumonia. Further research can use more up-to-date primary data and can also focus on provinces that have high rates of pneumonia in under-five children.

Abstract

Background: Cesarean section (CS) is the most performed operation globally. It’s a clean-contaminated surgery with higher surgical site infections (SSIs) risk. The mortality rate associated with cesarean section in Africa is 50 times greater than in high income settings, 11 women die per 1000 CS in sub-Saharan Africa and 14% of women suffer complication (SSIs). Proper antibiotic use can reduce this burden however effective antibiotics are running out due to inappropriate use. This study aimed to assess the pre-cesarean and post-cesarean antibiotic practices and the rate of SSIs following CS at Mbale regional referral hospital (MRRH)Methods: The study was a retrospective and descriptive cross-sectional on CS mothers between 1st January 2020 and 31st December 2022 at MRRH.  Out of the 2432 patient files reviewed, an equal number (104) of women who developed SSIs and those that did not develop SSIs (104) were selected by simple random sampling, total sample size of 208.Result: More than half (n=148; 71.2 %.) received antibiotic prophylaxis. Majority received I.V ceftriaxone (38.0%) within 15minutes (mean duration) before skin incision. 35.1% of 208 that received antibiotic prophylaxis developed SSIs. I.V Metronidazole and Ceftriaxone were the most administered after CS and Oral metronidazole was the most prescribed upon discharge.Conclusion : The rate of SSIs at MRRH was 3% similar to that of Mbarara regional referral hospital at 3.5%. Lack of antibiotics prophylaxis and poor antibiotic prophylaxix timing could explain this rateu underscoring compliance to International, National and Hospital surgical bundles.

Abstract

Background: Gastrointestinal bleeding is one of the main cause of death worldwide. For decades, the prevalence between lower gastrointestinal bleeding and upper gastrointestinal bleeding is constant. However, latest study showed that this may change due to the invention of new medication that prevent upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The epidemiology of gastrointestinal bleeding is important to plan the future promotion and prevention in the risk group and also to understand the distribution of the patient and their risk factor. The shortage of epidemiological data in developing countries makes the treatment of gastrointestinal bleeding became more challenging.Methods: This study is a retrospective study that aims to depict the epidemiology of gastrointestinal bleeding in patients who did gastroscopy or colonoscopy in Cut Meutia general hospital in North Aceh, Aceh Province. We analyze the medical record of the required patients in the interval of January 2019 to August 2021.Result: The incidence of lower gastrointestinal bleeding is higher than upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Female patients are dominant in develop gastrointestinal bleeding and elderly is the most common age that develop gastrointestinal bleeding.Conclusion : In general, the epidemiology of gastrointestinal bleeding in Cut Meutia general Hospital in North Aceh shares the same tendency with the incidence of gastrointestinal bleeding in many countries in the world, but there are several finding that differ such as high incidency of gastritic tumor and high incidency of gastritic tumor in younger age in male.
