Abstract

Background: Asthma control level is related to body composition. Somatotype is a body shape classification that is used to measure body composition indirectly using anthropometry. As far as we know, no studies are related to somatotype and asthma control levels. This study aims to describe the somatotype and the ratio of chest circumference to height and its relation to asthma control level. Methods: This research is an observational study at Surakarta in September-December 2022. The subjects were 51 asthma patients under control and met the criteria. Measurement of somatotype and the ratio of chest circumference to height was carried out by anthropometric methods. The Asthma Control Test (ACT) questionnaire assessed the asthma control level. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 26 software with Fisher’s test and unpaired t-test. Results: out of 51 asthmatic patients, 43 (84,3%) had endomorphic and 8 (15,7%) ectomorphic. Fisher’s test showed no significant relationship between somatotype and asthma control level (P=0.56). Meanwhile, the mean ratio of chest circumference to height in controlled patients was 0.54, while those who were uncontrolled were 0.58. The results of the unpaired t-test showed that there was a significant difference between the ratio of chest circumference to height and asthma control level (P=0.03).   Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between somatotype and asthma control level, but there is a significant relationship between the ratio of chest circumference to height and the asthma control level.

Abstract

Background: Drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) is treated with second-line anti-tuberculosis (anti-TB) drugs which are comparatively less effective and more toxic. The increased toxicity of the drugs may lead to the occurrence of side effects throughout the treatment. The study aims to assess DR-TB patients' side effects and clinical profile at the dr. Zainoel Abidin Hospital, Banda Aceh. Methods: Observational descriptive study of DR-TB patients who underwent treatment from 2020 to 2022 at dr. Zainoel Abidin Hospital, Banda Aceh. The data was taken from medical records of patients which are then analysed using univariate analysis. Results: Out of 49 patients, most of them were male with 23 people (65,3%), belonging to the age group of 46-55 with 11 people (22,4%), worked as entrepreneurs with 11 people (22,4%), and most came from Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar with 14 people each (28,6%). Twenty-seven patients (65,1%) were suspected of secondary infection, most of which were cases of relapse from 10 people (20,4%). 39 of the patients (79,6%) had rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis. 36 patients (73,4%) were given individualized treatment with Lfx – Bdq – Lzd – Cfz – Cs being the most common drug combination given to 16 people (32.7%). All patients experienced side effects from the treatment, with the most common being nausea from 28 people (57,1%) followed by peripheral neuropathy from 19 people (38,8%). Conclusion: Side effects are commonly found in the treatment of DR-TB and may become more prevalent as the treatment continues. Educating the patient and treating side effects is important to maintain patient compliance.

Abstract

Background: Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) is caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2). In 2020, a disease known as COVID-19 became a global pandemic. This disease can spread through the air or mucosal contact with the body. The impact of COVID-19 varies greatly from person to person and depends on various factors, including any pre-existing health conditions. This study aimed to determine the hospitalization period for severe and critical COVID-19 patients with comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, obesity, heart failure, stroke, pregnancy, coronary artery disease, and asthma in the Intensive Care Unit at RSUD Dr. Saiful Anwar in Malang. Methods: This study used an observational analysis method by taking secondary data from medical records and out-of-hospital data of patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit. The data that has been collected is carried out by a normality test using the Saphiro-Wilk test then the Kruskal-Wallis test and the Dunn test as a follow-up test. Results: The study was dominated by subjects less than 60 years of age, male, and most had comorbidities.  It was found that only in death outcome group has a significance value of P<0.05, with the longest hospital stays in patients without comorbidities and patients with diabetes mellitus only (ICU Median=7.5 days), while the shortest length of stay was obtained in patients with comorbidities other than diabetes and hypertension (ICU Median=3.5 days). Conclusion:  The presence of multiple comorbidities in patients is associated with greater severity of illness, resulting in longer hospital stays among those who are discharged. Conversely, patients who experience death outcomes tend to have shorter lengths of stay in the hospital.

Abstract

Background: In the intensive care unit (ICU), critically sick pneumonia has a high mortality rate, so forecasting the prognosis is crucial for making decisions. Early detection of clinical deterioration and the implementation of early intervention and care can be achieved through the use of scoring systems. The Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) scoring system is a better system in predicting mortality in critically ill patients. However, in this study, we aim to observed  the use of the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score as a predictor of mortality and length of stay (LOS). Methods: From April to August 2023, we treated 125 critically sick pneumonia patients in the ICU as part of a prospective observational research. An integrated ICU mortality calculator was used to assess the performance of the APACHE II, Simplified Acute Physiology Score II (SAPS II), and SOFA scores. Descriptive statistics will be used for data analysis, and the Fisher exact test and Chi-square test will be used for testing. logistic regression and linear regression methods are used in multivariate analysis. If the p-value is less than 0.05, it will be statistically significant. Results: APACHE II, SAPS II, and SOFA scores were significant in predicting the outcome of critically ill pneumonia patients (cut-off of ≥14.5, ≥34.5, and ≥3.5, respectively). The Spearman rank correlation for LOS shows that APACHE II, SOFA, and SAPS II scores have a very weak relationship with the p-values are 0.121, 0.766, and 0.436, respectively. Conclusion: The SOFA score is a good mortality predictor in critically ill pneumonia patients yet is simpler and easier to use in all settings in the hospital.

Abstract

Background: Hypoxemia, a common complication of bronchoscopy, often occurs even with oxygen supplementation, particularly during procedures performed under sedation, with reported incidences ranging from 2.5% to 69%. Hypoxemia during bronchoscopy which is defined as desaturation under 90% or more than 5% decreasing of basal SpO2, becomes a concern due to possible fatal complications. This study aims to determine the incidence of hypoxemia during bronchoscopy and identify its predisposing risk factors. Methods: An analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design was held in our center from October 2022 until June 2023. As many as 100 consecutive patients who underwent bronchoscopy and met inclusion criteria were evaluated prospectively. The patient’s oxygen saturation was monitored by finger pulse oximetry during the procedure. Demographic characteristics, comorbidities, lung function, PaO2 value, ASA score, types of intervention, sedative agents, duration of sedation and procedure were recorded. The risk factors for hypoxemia during bronchoscopy were evaluated. Results: The incidence of hypoxemia during bronchoscopy in our center was 15%. Bivariate analysis showed pleural effusion as a comorbidity (9 patients; 60%), restrictive-obstructive lung function test (10 patients; 66.7%) and PaO2 value (76.87±8.219) were statistically significant (P<0.05) related to the existence of hypoxemia during bronchoscopy. Three other factors such as age, ASA score and duration of procedure with P<0.25 were included in multivariate analysis and found that the most influencing factor was the restrictive-obstructive lung function test (P=0.001; OR=13.845). Conclusion: Comorbidity (pleural effusion), lung function (restrictive-obstructive) and PaO2 value were some factors significantly related to hypoxemia during bronchoscopy with lung function being the most influencing factor.

Abstract

Asbestosis is characterized by diffuse interstitial fibrosis in the lungs, which is caused by breathing asbestos fibers from the crystalline or amphibole groups. The diagnosis of asbestosis, a form of pneumoconiosis, is one of the seven steps in identifying an occupational lung disease. Because there is no known cure for this condition, early detection, prevention, and education of workers and anybody in their proximity who has a risk of asbestos fiber exposure is critical. Clinical symptoms of asbestosis include weight loss, decreased appetite, and dyspnea during exertion. Clubbing fingers, cyanosis, and tachypnea are all symptoms of severe asbestosis. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), histology, CT scans, HRCT, and respirometry can all help with the diagnosis. The "shaggy heart border sign" on a chest X-ray, along with the asbestos body observed in the BAL, is a reliable indicator of asbestosis. Because of the dismal prognosis and lifelong consequences, prevention is essential.

Abstract

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a significant health issue with high morbidity and mortality rates. However, risk factors for COPD, particularly in cases with type II respiratory failure, are not fully understood. This study analyzes factors influencing the mortality rate of COPD patients with type II respiratory failure. Methods: This observational study used a cross-sectional design, analyzing medical records of COPD patients with type II respiratory failure treated at H. Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan, from November 2021 to September 2022. A total of 42 patients met the inclusion criteria. Data analysis included descriptive statistics and inferential tests using the Chi-Square test and multiple logistic regression to identify the most dominant factors. Results: Among the 42 patients, the mortality rate was 50%. Variables such as gender, age, number of comorbidities, smoking habits, and history of exacerbations were not significantly associated with mortality. Patients who did not regularly use inhalers had a 19-fold higher mortality risk than those who did (P=0.004; OR=19.79; 95% CI=2.67-146.99). Length of stay was inversely associated with mortality, with each additional day reducing the risk by 0.77 times (P=0.011; OR=0.77; 95% CI=0.63-0.94). Conclusion: Routine inhaler use and length of stay are significant factors influencing the mortality rate in COPD patients with type II respiratory failure.

Abstract

Background: Treatment evaluation of clinically confirmed pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is limited to clinical symptoms and chest X-rays that tend to be subjective and no better than bacteriological examination. Monocytes and lymphocytes mediate the immunopathology of TB infection as a form of host defense that affects the systemic concentration of the body’s defense cells. The study assesses the monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) to evaluate TB treatment. Methods: Longitudinal prospective paired t-test with characteristics of clinically confirmed pulmonary TB new cases then compared to monocytes, lymphocytes, and monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) before administration of anti-tuberculosis drugs (ATD) and the end of the intensive phase. Results: In thirty clinically confirmed pulmonary TB patients before and after the anti-tuberculosis drug (ATD) there was no difference in monocytes pre 8.3 - post 8.5 (P=0.82), there was a difference in lymphocytes pre 17.8 - post 25.6 (P<0.05) that affected the MLR ratio value pre 0.57 - post 0.39 (P<0.05). Conclusion: This study identifies there is a significant difference in MLR before treatment and after the intensive phase of clinically confirmed pulmonary TB.

Abstract

Background: Lung cancer is a leading cause of malignancy and mortality. Zinc and C-reactive proteins are known to affect lung cancer progression. However, inconsistent findings between zinc levels on plasma CRP levels were reported. This study aimed to determine the correlation between serum zinc and CRP levels in patients with advanced-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Regional Hospital of Doris Sylvanus Palangkaraya between January and April 2023. Thirty-five lung cancer patients were included. The blood specimen was analyzed for serum Zinc and CRP. Spearman's correlation test was used to analyze the data. Results: The zinc level was dominantly normal or low (71.4%), with a mean of 65.57 ug/dL. Most subjects have elevated CRP, with higher CRP in the deficiency zinc group (96.64 vs. 68.89 mg/L). However, no significant correlation was found between serum zinc and CRP levels (P=0.160; r=0.173). Conclusion: Serum zinc levels were not proven statistically correlated with inflammatory markers (CRP), particularly in non-small lung cancer patients.

Abstract

Background: Due to changes in the immune system, chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients on routine hemodialysis (HD) are at increased risk for latent tuberculosis (LTB). Latent tuberculosis requires special attention to prevent its development into active form because infection increases mortality in CKD patients. This study aims to determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with LTB in CKD in routine HD patients. Method: This research uses a cross-sectional design and is an analytical observational study. The study was conducted in the Hemodialysis Unit at dr. Zainoel Abidin Hospital between June and August 2023, using consecutive non-probability sampling. Results: Of the 289 CKD patients undergoing routine hemodialysis, 54 met the inclusion criteria. The prevalence of latent tuberculosis among these patients was 27.8%, as determined by the Tuberculin Skin Test (TST). Statistical analysis revealed no significant association between LTB and risk factors such as age, gender, body mass index, smoking status, or CKD etiology (P>0.05). Due to value of P>0.25, multivariate analysis could not be performed. Conclusion: There is a high prevalence of latent tuberculosis among chronic kidney disease patients undergoing dialysis. The risk factors for LTB remain unclear. However, early diagnosis and treatment are recommended to prevent progression to active TB.
