Abstract

Background: Sepsis, a severe immune response to infection, has a concerning global mortality rate of 85%, predominantly due to Gram-negative bacteria. The rise of antibiotic resistance in these organisms complicates treatment, leading to higher mortality and prolonged hospital stays. Effective empirical antibiotics can mitigate these outcomes. Objective: This study compares outcomes of sepsis patients infected with multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) based on empirical antibiotic sensitivity testing, focusing on mortality and length of stay (LOS) within 14 days of sepsis onset. Methods: A prospective cohort observational study at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital included 94 participants. Patients who died within 14 days were excluded from the LOS analysis to prevent bias. Initial assessments included culture sampling and organ dysfunction. Results: The study revealed no significant difference in mortality based on antibiotic sensitivity (p=0.283), but the LOS was significantly shorter in those treated with sensitive antibiotics (p<0.016). Conclusion: LOS was significantly affected by antibiotic sensitivity, with patients receiving effective antibiotics experiencing shorter stays, though mortality differences were not statistically significant in the 14-day window

Abstract

Background: Knee osteoarthritis is a major cause of chronic pain and disability in the elderly. Obesity is a key risk factor, as excess body weight increases pressure on knee joints. Clinical and radiological assessments are essential to determine disease severity. Objective: To describe the characteristics of knee osteoarthritis patients at Ibnu Sina Hospital Makassar during 2023–2024 based on clinical manifestations, body mass index (BMI), and radiological imaging. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using medical records of 63 patients with knee osteoarthritis. Variables analyzed included clinical manifestations, BMI, and radiological grading. Results: Of 63 patients, most (50.8%) presented with bilateral knee pain as the main complaint, while 25.4% experienced knee swelling. BMI analysis showed that the largest proportion of patients were in obesity class I (30.2%). Radiological imaging revealed that 41.3% were classified as grade II according to the Kellgren and Lawrence criteria. Conclusion: Knee osteoarthritis patients at Ibnu Sina Hospital Makassar were predominantly characterized by bilateral knee pain, obesity class I, and grade II radiological severity. Interventions such as weight management, physiotherapy, and public education on joint health are important to reduce risk and slow disease progression

Abstract

Background: Anemia in pregnancy is a global health issue with a prevalence of 48.9% in Indonesia (Riskesdas, 2018). This condition is influenced by iron deficiency (50% of cases), dietary patterns, and socioeconomic factors. Previous studies indicate a correlation between maternal knowledge and anemia incidence, yet research in the Puskesmas Nagrak area remains limited. Objective: To identify the relationship between pregnant women's knowledge and anemia incidence in the working area of Puskesmas Nagrak. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study involving 70 pregnant women in trimesters 1-3. Data were collected using Guttman-scale questionnaires and secondary data from maternal health records. Chi-Square test (a=0.05) was used for analysis. Results: 52.9% of respondents had anemia (Hb<11 g/dL). Women with low knowledge (38.6%) showed the highest anemia risk (p<0.000). Education level (57.1% junior high graduates) and occupation (92.9% housewives) significantly contributed. Conclusion: Knowledge level significantly affects anemia incidence. Community-based health education interventions are recommended to improve immunization coverage and Fe tablet consumption.
