Background: Increased blood pressure for a long time can increase the risk of kidney failure, co­ronary heart disease, brain damage, and other di­seases. In 2019, it is estimated that hyper­tens­ion is experienced by 1.13 billion people in the world with most (two thirds) living in low and mid­­dle income countries. Other study also shows that the police and military are at risk of develop­ing hypertension due to a number of factors such as low know­led­ge about healthy and nutritious food, co-workers who are smokers, and consum­ing alco­hol. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors for hypertension in the police and military in the world using meta analysis. Subjects and Method: This was a meta-ana­lysis and systematic review. The articles used we­re obtained from Google Scholar, Springer Link, Pro­­Quest, and Science Direct databases. Selected arti­cles published from 2000 to 2020. Keywords to search for articles are as follows: hypertension po­lice personnel and military, or hypertension po­lice personnel and military. The articles studi­ed are 3 full text articles with cross sectional stu­dy designs and 1 full text articles with case cont­rol study design. Articles are col­lect­ed using PRI­S­­­MA diagrams, and analy­zed us­ing the Re­vi­ew Ma­nager application 5.3. Results: Overweight (aOR= 1.42; 95% CI = 1.01 to 2.00; p= 0.04), alcohol consumption (aOR­=­ 1.­55; 95% CI= 1.12 to 2.12; p= 0.007), ciga­rette con­­­­sumption (aOR= 1.45 ; 95% CI= 1.06 to 1.97; p= 0.020) is a risk factor for hyper­­­tension in the po­­­lice and military. Conclusion: Overweight, alcohol consump­tion, and cigarette consump­tion, are risk fac­tors for hypertension in po­lice and military personnel.

Abstract

Background: Diarrhea and pneumonia together account for 29% of all child deaths globally, resulting in the deaths of more than two million children each year. Zinc deficiency is associated with decreased immunity and an increase in serious infectious diseases. Zinc deficiency is likely to be a major cause of increased mortality of malnourished infants in developing countries. Numerous studies have shown that zinc supplementation reduces the duration and severity of diarrhea. In addition, zinc administration can also prevent pneumonia, and is effective in recovering fever, shortness of breath and respiratory rate. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of zinc on the incidence of diarrhea and pneumonia in children under five. Subjects and Method: This research is a systematic review and meta-analysis conducted with PRISMA flow diagram. Article searches through journal databases include: PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Schoolar. The keywords used were (“Zinc” OR “Diarrhea”) AND (“Zinc” OR “Pneumonia”) AND “randomized controlled trial”. Inclusion criteria were full paper articles with Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) research methods, the relationship measure used was Mean SD and Odds Ratio, the intervention given was zinc, research subjects had an age range of 0-6 years. Eligible articles were analyzed using the Revman5.3 application. Results: Meta-analysis of 14 articles showed that zinc administration reduced diarrhea duration 0.73 days statistically significantly (MD= -0.73; 95% CI-1.22 to -0.24, p<0.003, zinc administration reduced pneumonia duration 0.58 days more rapidly and significantly statistically not significant (MD -0.58; 95% CI-0.32 to -1.04, p<0.001) than placebo. Conclusion: Zinc is effective in reducing the duration of diarrhea and treating pneumonia in children under five.

Abstract

Background: Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has been successful in increasing the life span and quality of life of people living with HIV. The success of antiretroviral treatment can be assessed from the patient's compliance in taking the drugs prescribed by the doctor at the right time and at the right dose. Disclosure of HIV status and social support are factors associated with adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART). This study aims to estimate the magnitude of disclosure of HIV status and social support with antiretroviral therapy adherence to adult patients with HIV/AIDS with a meta-analysis study. Subjects and Method: This was a systematic review and meta-analysis conducted using PRISMA flow diagrams. Article searches were conducted through journal databases including: Google Scholar, PubMed, Springer Link, Clinical key and ProQuest. The articles used in this study are articles that have been published from 2010-2021. The keywords to search for articles are as follows: "disclosing HIV and antiretroviral adherence", "Social Support or family support and antiretroviral adherence". The inclusion criteria were full text with cross-sectional study design, articles in English, multivariate analysis with adjusted odds ratio. Eligible articles were analyzed using the Revman 5.4 application. Results: A meta-analysis of 9 observational studies showed that patients who disclosed their HIV status increased adherence to antiretroviral therapy 2.3 times compared to patients who did not disclose significantly (aOR= 2.36 95% CI= 1.75 to 3.19; p< 0.001). A meta-analysis of 9 observational studies showed that patients who received social support significantly increased adherence to antiretroviral therapy 1.4 times compared to patients who did not have support (aOR= 1.46; 95% CI= 1.08 to 1.97; p= 0.010). Conclusion: Disclosure of HIV status and social support improves adherence to antiretroviral therapy in adult patients with HIV/AIDS.

Abstract

Background: SARS-CoV-2 is a new type of coronavirus that has never been previously identified in humans. In severe cases of COVID-19 it can cause pneumonia, acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure, and even death. Hypertension causes a number of pathophysiological changes in the cardiovascular system such as left ventricular hypertrophy and fibrosis. This can make a hypertensive heart particularly vulnerable to SARS-CoV-2. This study aims to analyze and estimate the effect of comorbid hypertension on mortality in COVID-19 patients.Subjects and Method: This was a systematic review and meta-analysis conducted with PRISMA flow diagram. Article searches through journal databases include: Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, and Springer Link by selecting articles published in 2020 and 2021. The keywords used are “Hypertension” OR “Hypertensive Patient” OR “Blood Pressure”, “Systolic Pressure” OR “Diastolic Pressure” AND “Mortality”, OR “death” OR “loss” AND “COVID-19” OR “SARS-COV-2” OR “coronavirus” AND “multivariate”. The inclusion criteria were full paper articles with observational research methods, the results of the analysis used the aOR value, the exposure given was comorbid hypertension, the research subjects were COVID-19 patients, with mortality outcomes. Eligible articles were analyzed using the Revman 5.3 app. Results: A meta-analysis of 18 articles showed that confirmed COVID-19 patients who had comorbid hypertension had a 1.27 times risk of mortality compared to those without comorbid hypertension and were statistically significant (aOR= 1.27; 95% CI= 1.14 to 1.41; p <0.001).Conclusion: Comorbid Hypertension affects the mortality of COVID-19 patients.

Abstract

Background: Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine for treating ailments, including diseases of the cardiovascular system, such as hypertension. Acupuncture modulates neurohumoral regulatory systems and cardiovascular function. This study aims to estimate the effectiveness of acupuncture therapy in reducing blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Subjects and Method: This was a systematic review and meta-analysis, with PICO, namely Population= hypertension cases aged 20-80 years. Intervention= acupuncture therapy. Comparison= Sham/ Placebo/ No Treatment Acupuncture. Outcome = Blood pressure. The articles used in this study were obtained from several databases including Google Scholar, MEDLINE/ PubMed, Science Direct, Hindawi, BMC, Europe PMC and Springer Link. These articles were collected for 1 month. The keywords to search for articles were as follows: “acupuncture”, “hypertension”, “randomized controlled trial”, “hypertension randomized controlled trial”, “acupuncture randomized controlled trial”, “acupuncture for primary hypertension”, “acupuncture for hypertension essential” AND “acupuncture for blood pressure”. The articles included in this study are full text articles with a randomized controlled trial study design. Articles were collected using PRISMA flow diagrams and analyzed using the Review Manager application (RevMan) 5.3. Results: A total of 9 articles were reviewed in this meta-analysis. Articles are from Boston, Germany, Korea, China, India and Taiwan. The study showed that acupuncture therapy was able to reduce systolic blood pressure with the Standardized Mean Different by 0.54 compared to sham acupuncture /placebo/no treatment (SMD= 0.54; 95% CI= -1.04 to -0.04; p<0.05). Acupuncture reduced diastolic blood pressure 0.49 units (SMD= 0.49; 95% CI= -0.99 to 0.02; p>0.05) compared to sham acupuncture/ placebo, but it was statistically non significant. Conclusion: Acupuncture can reduce systolic blood pressure, but it is less significant in reducing diastolic blood pressure in hypertensive patients.

Abstract

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is defined as a symptom that cannot be specifically validated. LBP is one of the most common forms of musculoskeletal disorders. Anyone can experience lower back pain throughout his life, because LBP is back pain without any underlying abnormalities. There are many exercises that can be given to treat this LBP, one of which is the McKenzie Exercise. The principle of this exercise is to improve posture to reduce lumbar hyperlordosis. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the McKenzie Exercise for pain reduction in patients with non-specific LBP. Subjects and Method: This was a systematic review and meta-analysis carried out with the PRISM flow diagram. Search for articles through journal databases includes: PubMed, Science Direct, Google Schoolar and PEDro by selecting articles published in 2010-2020. The keywords used were ("LBP" OR "Low Back Pain") AND ("McKenzie Exercise" OR "Therapy") AND "randomized controlled trial". The inclusion criteria were full paper articles with the Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT), the size of the relationship used with the Mean SD, the intervention given was McKenzie Exercise, the study subjects had an age range of 18-65 years, and experienced non-specific low back pain, without radicular pain. Eligible articles were analyzed using the Revman 5.3. Results: A meta-analysis of 11 articles showed that the McKenzie Exercise was able to reduce pain in patients with non-specific low back pain by 0.44 times compared to other interventions or no intervention. (SMD -0.44; 95% CI = -1.06 to 0.18; p = 0.16).Conclusion: McKenzie Exercise has a weak effect to reduce pain in patients with non-specific low back pain.

Abstract

Background: COVID-19, caused by severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), emerged as a global pandemic with confirmed death cases of more than 1.27 million worldwide. Since the past pandemic, several studies discovered the adverse effects of excess fat accumulation on the severity of viral infections. This study aimed to investigate the association between high body mass index (BMI) and mortality risk in hospitalized COVID-19 patients based on four categories of high BMI ranges. Subjects and Method: A systematic review and Meta-Analysis was conducted using search articles from electronic databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus, published from 2019 to 2021. The keywords used to retrieve articles were "Body Mass Index" OR BMI OR Obesity OR Overweight) AND (Mortality OR Death) AND COVID-19 OR SARS-CoV-2. The included studies were full-text articles published in the English language, reporting adjusted odds ratios from multivariate analysis. The eligibility criteria were defined using PICO model. The article selection was conducted using PRISMA flow chart. The included studies were analyzed by the Review Manager 5.3 application. Results: A total of nine cohort studies involving 12,907 COVID-19 patients with high BMI conducted from America, Europe, and Georgia regions was included in qualitative synthesis and Meta-Analysis. The pooled estimate showed hospitalized COVID-19 patients with morbid/ class III obesity had a higher risk of mortality (aOR= 1.77; 95% CI= 1.27 to 2.47; p= 0.001) than overweight (aOR= 1.10; 95% CI= 1.00 to 1.21; p= 0.060), class I (aOR= 1.16; 95% CI= 0.87 to 1.55; p= 0.300), and class II obesity (aOR= 1.54; 95% CI= 1.11 to 2.13; p= 0.009). Conclusion: High BMI increases the risk of mortality in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. A potential dose-response relationship may exist between different categories of high BMI range and mortality risk in COVID-19 patients.

Abstract

Background: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are associated with negative outcomes, however, there are factors that can mitigate the effects from exposure to ACEs. This study examined the prevalence of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), characteristics of resilient individuals and the association between ACE scores, resiliency and other factors among college students. Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional survey was completed in 2018. Frequencies were calculated for the number and types of ACE experienced by participants. Bivariate relationships between characteristics of participants and resilience were examined using Chi-square tests. The independent relationship between ACE scores and resiliency factors was examined using ordinal logistic regression. The dependent variable was ACE score. An ordinal logistic regression model examined the relationship between conventional ACE scores and resilience levels and other factors. Results: There were 570 study participants. Seventy-one percent of study participants had experienced at least one conventional ACE, and 98% had experienced at least one expanded ACE. Individuals with high resilience had lower conventional ACE scores and better health. Females (OR= 1.67; 95% CI= 1.14 to 2.45) were more likely to have higher conventional ACE scores. Participants living in suburban areas compared to rural areas (OR= 0.61; 95% CI: 0.43 to 0.85), and children raised with both parents compared to single parents (OR= 0.17; 95% CI= 0.12 to 0.25) were less likely to have higher conventional ACE scores. Gender (OR= 0.54; 95% CI= 0.35 to 0.82) and general health status (OR= 1.50; 95% CI= 1.05 to 2.13) were the only significant predictors of the expanded ACE scores. Conclusion: Findings identify important resilient traits such as relationships, self-control, internal beliefs, and initiative,. as well asportray the high prevalence ofACEs and the importance of resilience as a protective factor in reducing ACEs.

Abstract

Background: Children with cerebral palsy generally experience hand functional disorders which then affect the child's occupational performance. Hand functional ability is the ability to use the hand in doing activities. To be able to perform occupational performance, good hand functional abilities are needed. To achieve this, interventions are needed, one of which is constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) which is hypothesized to be able to improve hand functional ability and occupational per-formance. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of CIMT on the hands functional ability and the occupation performance of children with cerebral palsy.Subjects and Method: This study used a systematic review design and meta-analysis using the PRISMA flow chart guidelines. The process of searching for articles was carried out between 2005-2020 using databases from PubMed, Science Direct, AJOT, Springer Link, and Google Scholar. Based on the database, there were 20 articles that met the inclusion criteria. This study involved 669 subjects of hand functional ability and 440 subjects of occupational performance. The analysis was performed using the RevMan 5.3 software. Results: A total of 20 articles conducted a meta-analysis review. A total of 18 articles conducted a meta-analysis showing that giving CIMT to children with cerebral palsy was significantly able to improve hands functional ability of children with cerebral palsy (SMD = 0.40; 95% CI 0.09 to 0.71; p = 0.01). A total of 11 articles conducted a meta-analysis showing that giving CIMT to children with cerebral palsy was able to improve occupational performance abilities but it was not statistically significant (SMD = 0.18; 95% CI 0.17 to 0.52; p = 0.32).Conclusion: CIMT can improve hand functional abilities and occupational performance of children with cerebral palsy.
