Therefore, they proposed scoring system to estimate the prognosis of patients with malignanttuberculous spondylitis with some parameters, including abscess area, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR),number of vertebral destruction, disseminated tuberculosis and infectious Mycobacterium tuberculosis stain.Objectives: To perform clinical, laboratory and radiologic evaluations in patients with malignant tuberculousspondylitis using scoring system proposed by Yunus and PrijambodoMethods: This retrospective cohort study was carried out from 2012 to 2015 in patients with malignanttuberculous spondylitis at Dr. Soetomo Teaching Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia, using Yunus and Prijambodoscoring. Subjects were evaluated in minimum 6 months after surgery. The evaluations included clinical(abscess recurrence), laboratory (ESR) and radiologic (bony fusion in spinal X-ray tomography).Results: Of eight acute tuberculous patients, only 5 were evaluated. One had moderate prognosis and fourhad severe prognosis. No abscess recurrence found in patients after 20-month evaluation. ESR was below20 mm/hour (12.8±7.8) and 80% of patients had bony fusion in spinal X-ray tomography.Conclusion: Most patients with malignant tuberculous spondylitis with moderate and severe prognosishad better outcomes after 20-month evaluation.

The juridical normative research methoduses a statute approach and conceptual approach, and then the data is processed and analyzed qualitatively.Legal protection for persons with disabilities is the responsibility of the state. Indonesia has ratified theConvention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which was followed up with the revocation of Lawno. 4 of 1997 concerning Disabled Persons, then enactment of Law No. 8 of 2016 concerning Personswith Disabilities, which prioritizes the issue of human rights. Persons with disabilities are seen as subjectswhose rights must be protected for the sake of their dignity. For the enforcement mechanism, the NationalDisability Commission was formed based on Presidential Regulation No. 68 of 2020, but the substance isnot in accordance with the human rights and independent principles because it is attached to the Ministry ofSocial Affairs which should be the object of its supervision. Therefore the President must immediately reviseit in accordance with the mandate of Law No. 8 of 2016.
