Abstract

Esophageal varices are one of the most common complications in patients with liver cirrhosis and can lead to high-risk bleeding. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the APRI (Aspartate Aminotransferase-to-Platelet Ratio Index) score and the degree of esophageal varices in liver cirrhosis patients at RSUD Prof. Dr. Margono Soekarjo. This research used an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach, involving 89 patients who met the inclusion criteria. The analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between the APRI score and the degree of esophageal varices (p=0.039, r=0.220), indicating that the higher the degree of esophageal varices, the higher the APRI score. These findings suggest that the APRI score can be used as a non-invasive tool to detect the degree of esophageal varices in liver cirrhosis patients, with potential as a more practical and cost-effective diagnostic method

Abstract

The Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) in Indonesia remains one of the highest in Southeast Asia, indicating unequal access to healthcare services. Antenatal Care (ANC) visits are a crucial indicator in reducing MMR; however, ANC visits coverage in several areas, including Pohuwato Regency, Gorontalo Province, remains below the target. Thus, this research aims to identify and analyze the factors associated with ANC visits in the working area of the UPTD Puskesmas Popayato Barat, Pohuwato Regency, Gorontalo Province. This research is an analytical survey research utilizing a cross-sectional design. The population consists of all pregnant women in the working area of Puskesmas Popayato Barat, totaling 66 individuals. The sampling method is done through non-probability sampling with a purposive sampling technique, selected based on specific criteria relevant to this research. The sample size is determined using Yamane's formula, resulting in a total of 57 respondents. The analyzed variables include knowledge, family support, healthcare provider support, distance to healthcare facilities, and ANC visits. The data are collected using questionnaires and analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The findings show that there is a significant relationship between pregnant women’s knowledge (p<0.05), family support (p<0.05), and healthcare provider support (p<0.05) with ANC visits. Conversely, distance to healthcare facilities did not show a significant correlation. Transportation barriers, limited support from healthcare providers, and insufficient knowledge among pregnant women regarding the importance of ANC also influenced the low ANC visit coverage. Thus, this research concludes that increasing knowledge, enhancing family support, and strengthening the role of healthcare providers is essential to improve ANC visits, ultimately contributing to the reduction of MMR in Pohuwato Regency.
