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: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most frequent microvascular compli-cations of diabetes mellitus (DM). The increasing number of diabetic retinopathy cases, amajor cause of blindness worldwide, is resulted from the increasing prevalence and life span of diabetes mellitus patients. In 2010, the number of diabetic retinopathy cases was 126.6 million and is predicted to increase to 191.0 million by 2030. The number of patients with visionthreatening diabeticretinopathy is also predicted to increase from 37.3 million to 56.3 million.Subjects and Method: This study was a descriptive study conducted from January to February 2020.A sample of 98 patients was taken through fixed disease sampling. Research data was collected from electonic medical record of patients visiting Eye Clinic of Zainoel Abidin General Hospital Banda Aceh using total sampling method. The researchers used the triangulation method to complete some missing demographic data in the medical records, such as occupation, education, and monthly salary. Interviews were conducted directly with patients after they underwent an examination, and the results were included in the research form. Results: 35 patients (35.7%) were aged 56-65 years and 26 patients (26.5%) worked as house-wives. The most common systemic complications were heart disorder found in 17 patients (17.3%). Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) was identified in 49 patients (50.0%), whereas 51 patients (52.0%) presented with diabetic macular edema (DME). 44 patients (44.9%) came with less than 6/60 visual acuity on the left eye.Conclusion: Most patients presenting in Eye Clinic of Zainoel Abidin Hospital Banda Aceh were in worse condition (PDR) with visual acuity of less than 6/60. Therefore, educating and counseling diabetic patients to undergo routine screening by ophthalmologists are important in order to prevent loss of vision caused by diabetic retinopathy.Keywords: clinical characteristic, diabetic retinopathyCorrespondence: Lia Meuthia Zaini.

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: Jakarta, capital city of Indonesia, had been extremely hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. Public consistence with control measures was important, which was greatly affected by knowledge, attitudes and practices towards COVID-19. This study aimed to investtigate knowledge, attitudes and practices of Jakarta residents for COVID-19.Subjects and Method: This was an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design. Sample was gathered online from 221 Jakarta residents, range in age 10 to 60 years, which use self-reported questionnaires consisting of consent, questions about sociodemographics, knowledge, attitudes and practices relevant to COVID-19 and analyzed using t-test and ANOVA. A linear regression analysis was conducted to identify factors associated with knowledge, attitude and practice. Results: Participants showed moderate level of knowledge (mean= 71.20; SD= 8.37), positive attitudes (mean= 53.47; SD= 5.10) and moderate practice (mean= 78.63; SD= 12.73). Results demonstrated that women have better knowledge (mean= 72.1; SD= 9.0; p= 0.360), optimistic attitudes (mean= 55.1; SD = 6.2; p= 0.005) and great practices (mean= 80.1; SD= 11.6; p= 0.316) towards COVID-19 than men. Elderly have better knowledge (mean= 75.6; SD= 5.0; p= 0.001), optimistic attitude (mean= 56.3; SD= 3.8; p= 0.033) and good practices (mean= 82.4; SD= 14.3; p= 0.301) than younger individuals.Conclusion: Directed approaches in health promotion should be integrated for vulnerable populations, such as men, younger people, and low-income earners who would be at greater risk of COVID-19.Keywords: COVID-19, knowledge, attitude, practiceCorrespondence: Andree Kurniawan.

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.
