Core Subject : Health,
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: Noise is identified as one of the most widespread physical factors in occupational health and safety (OHS) and is a problem in all regions of the world. Noise can be pathogenic if there is continuous and repeated exposure causing a persistent upregulation of vascular autoregulation resulting in hypertension. Epidemiological studies report an association between occupational noise exposure and hypertension. This study aims to determine the effect of noise exposure in the workplace on hypertension.Subjects and Method: This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis with the following PICO, Population= workers, Intervention= occupational noise exposure ≥85 dBA, Comparison= occupational noise exposure <85 dBA, Outcome= hypertension. The meta-analysis was carried out using search articles from databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct, published from 2012 to 2022. The keywords used in the article search were “Occupational Noise Exposure” OR “Occupational Noise” AND “Hypertension” OR "High Blood Pressure" OR "Primary Hypertension" AND "Workers" AND "Cross-Sectional Study". The included studies were full-text articles published in English, reporting the adjusted odds ratio (aOR) of the results of the multivariate analysis, and the study design was cross-sectional. The selection of articles was carried out using PRISMA flow-charts and analyzed using the Revie Manager 5.3 application.Results: A total of 10 cross-sectional studies were analyzed involving 12,437 workers covering Iran, Jordan, China, Indonesia, Tunisia, and Brazil. The results of the meta-analysis showed that workers exposed to noise 85 dBA had higher hypertension than workers exposed to noise <85 dBA (aOR= 1.96; 95% CI= 1.68 to 2.29; p< 0.001).Conclusion: Exposure to occupational noise ≥ 85 dBA increases hypertension compared to exposure to occupational noise <85 dBA.Keywords: occupational noise, noise exposure, hypertension, meta-analysisCorrespondence: Muna Maimunah Salsabila.

Abstract

Background: Diarrhea is an infectious disease that can cause children to experience appetite disturbances, resulting in reduced nutritional intake, while the nutrients consumed also fail to be properly absorbed by the body. If this condition is not balanced with appropriate food intake, it can have an impact on cognitive development disorders and height growth, namely stunting. This study aimed to determine whether there was a relationship between a history of diarrhea and the incidence of stunting in toddlers, through a meta-analysis of primary studies conducted by previous authors.Subjects and Method: This study was conducted using a systematic review and meta-analysis with PICO namely, Population: under five, Intervention; diarrhea, comparison: no diarrhea, outcome: stunting. By searching for articles in 2 databases, namely PubMed and Google Scholar, which were published from 2017 to 2022, following keywords "Diarrhea" AND "Stunting" AND "adjusted Odds Ratio" OR "aOR". The included article is a full-text cross-sectional study design for 2017-2022 and reports the adjusted odds ratio (aOR) in multivariate analysis. Articles were selected using prism flow with inclusion criteria, namely, and data analysis using the Review Manager 5.3 application.Results: In total there were 9 articles using a cross-sectional study design with a total sample of 69,549 children under five from Ethiopia, Uganda, Indonesia, Pakistan which had been carried out systematic review and meta-analysis. The data that has been processed shows that toddlers with a history of diarrhea have a risk of experiencing stunting 1.21 times compared to toddlers without a history of diarrhea (aOR= 1.57; 95% CI= 1.20 to 2.05; p< 0.001).Conclusion: Toddlers with a history of diarrhea have a risk of experiencing stunting compared to toddlers without a history of diarrhea.Keywords: diarrhea, stunting, toddlersCorrespondence: Reza Ramadhana Tahta Firmansyah, Masters Program in Public Health, Universitas Sebelas Maret, Jl.

Abstract

Background: Family consent and organ donors rates are co-linear to each other. The low consent rate can be influenced by socioeconomic and behavioral factors in the population. This study aimed to assess the influence of sociodemographic and behavioral factors on family consent for organ donation in the household population.Subjects dan Method: This is a secondary data analysis of the cross-sectional research design of 1044 household participants conducted in Qatar on organ donation between October and November 2016. A two-stage systematic random sampling was applied to collect data. The dependent variable was family consent. The independent variables were demographic and behavioral factors such as knowledge, attitude, intention, and beliefs about organ donation. Data were collected using household survey Questionnaire and analysed using Student t-tests (unpaired), chi-square tests, and multivariate logistic regression analysis. C-statistics was applied to see discriminate accury of the developed regression model for family consent.Results: Attitude (aOR= 1.73; 95%CI= 1.28 to 2.34; p= 0.001) and Intention (aOR= 7.50; 95%CI= 4.04 to 13.92; p= 0.001) factors were significantly associated to family consent to increase organ donation registration whereas; control belief (aOR= 0.74; 95%CI= 0.55 to 0.99; p= 0.050) was negatively associated to family consent. Knowledge (aOR= 1.63; 95%CI= 0.55 to 4.80; p= 0.380), behavioral belief (aOR= 1.11; 95%CI= 0.77 to 1.61; p= 0.580), heard organ donation (aOR= 1.12; 95%CI= 0.71 to 1.76; p= 0.630), registered for organ donation (aOR= 1.11; 95%CI= 0.50 to 2.46; p= 0.800), and donated any organ/blood/tissue (aOR= 1.63; 95%CI= 0.55 to 4.80; p= 0.380) factors were not statistically significant to family consent to increase organ donation registration.Conclusion: Attitude and intention can increase family consent to organ donation registration.Keywords: Family consent, intention, attitude, knowledge, organ donation.Correspondence: Rajvir Singh, Cardiology Research Center, Heart Hospital, Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC), Doha, Qatar, Post Box: 3050; email: rajvir.aiims@gmail.com.

Abstract

Background: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mt) requires non-sputum-based screening that can identify it with high sensitivity and specificity. Lipoarabinomannan (LAM) is a diagnosis of active tuberculosis (TB) in samples such as urine, both by complex laboratory-based testing and in simple treatment tools. The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of the Lipoarabinomannan urine test in diagnosing TB in adults. Subjects and Method: This study is a meta-analysis study with PICO covering, population= adult age with suspected tuberculosis (TB). Intervention= lipoarabinomannan urine test. Comparison: no lipoarabinomannan urine test was performed. Outcome: sensitivity and specificity. Using the PRISMA flowchart guidelines. The articles used were conducted between 2012-2021 from the PubMed, Google Scholar, MedLine, and Science Direct databases. The keywords used in the article search were “Lipoarabinomannan” AND “LAM” OR “Adult” AND “Patient” OR “Diagnosis” OR “Pulmonary tuberculosis”. Based on the database, there were 9 articles that matched the inclusion criteria. Data analysis using the RevMan 5.3 application. Results: A total of 9 cohort studies with a total of 3,069 patients from South Africa (Cape Town, KwaZulu-Natal, Zimbabwe), East Africa (Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia), West Africa (Ghana) and South America (Peru) were selected for the study. systematic review and meta-analysis. A meta-analysis of 9 cohort studies showed that the lipoarabinomannan urine test had 2.89 times the accuracy or sensitivity in diagnosing TB compared to no lipoarabinomannan urine test (aOR= 2.89; 95% CI= 2.30 to 3.63; p= 0.160), but was not statistically significant. Conclusion: The lipoarabinomannan urine test improves accuracy in diagnosing pulmonary tuberculosis in adults but is not statistically significant.
