Abstract

Neonatal jaundice is a condition that often occurs in newborn babies. Hyperbilirubin occurs due to high levels of bilirubin in the blood which is marked yellow on the sclera and skin. Bilirubin levels that are too high can cause kernicterus if not treated immediately. To reduce bilirubin levels, phototherapy is indicated. The benefit of applying bed transfer therapy is as a way to reduce bilirubin levels evenly in neonates when phototherapy is carried out. According to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), there are 1.8% of infant deaths caused by hyperbilirubin from all perinatal cases that occur in the world. The incidence of infant hyperbilirubinemia in Indonesia is around 50% of term babies whose skin, mucosa and facial changes become yellowish (jaundice). In preterm babies the incidence reaches 75%. Implement bed shifting during phototherapy to determine the effectiveness of reducing bilirubin levels in hyperbilirubinemia patients. This research is an analytical descriptive research with a case study approach. The subjects of this study were 2 hyperbilirubin patients aged 18 days and 6 days. his research was conducted in June 2024 at the Hospital. Data was obtained through interviews, observation, physical examination and laboratory results of bilirubin levels. Data is presented in the form of narrative text and research instrument sheet tables. This research has gone through an ethical feasibility test. The results of the case study research using bed shifting during phototherapy resulted in a reduction in bilirubin levels in both subjects. The results of the decrease in the first patient were total bilirubin 13.36 mg/dl, direct bilirubin 0.69 mgdl, indirect bilirubin 12.67 mg/dl, the second patient total bilirubin 9.60 mg/dl, direct bilirubin 1.09 mg/dl, Indirect bilirubin 8.51 after being given bed rest during phototherapy for 2 days, the first patient had total bilirubin 10.06 mg/dl, direct bilirubin 0.37 mg/dl, indirect bilirubin 9.67 mg/dl, second patient total bilirubin 8.89 mg/dl, bilirubin direct 0.18 mg/dl, indirect bilirubin 8.71mg/dl. Patients with hyperbilirubinemia are advised to provide adequate breast milk intake and expose themselves to sunlight in the morning between 07.00 – 09.00 for 15 minutes.

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. C-reactive protein (CRP) and leukocyte count are indicators that can reflect the severity of infection in pulmonary TB patients. This study aims to analyze the relationship between quantitative CRP levels and leukocyte counts in pulmonary tuberculosis patients. This study is an observational analytical study with a cross-sectional approach conducted on 30 pulmonary TB patients at Arifin Achmad Hospital, Pekanbaru who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data on CRP levels and leukocyte counts were obtained through laboratory examinations, while demographic data were taken from patient medical records. Normality and linearity tests were performed before correlation analysis using linear regression tests. The average CRP level of patients was 84.14 ± 91.59 mg/L, with the lowest level of 0.71 mg/L and the highest of 316.7 mg/L. The mean number of leukocytes was 10,481 ± 4,625.53 mm³, with the lowest number of 3,190 mm³ and the highest of 21,310 mm³. The results of the bivariate analysis showed no significant relationship between CRP levels and leukocyte counts in pulmonary TB patients (p = 0.378). There was no significant correlation between quantitative CRP levels and leukocyte counts in pulmonary tuberculosis patients at Arifin Achmad Hospital Pekanbaru. Further research with larger samples and longitudinal designs is needed to further explore the relationship between these two variables and their implications in the management of pulmonary TB.
