Abstract

Objective: To determine the relative change in endothelin-1 (ET-1) during hemodialysis procedure in Stage Five Dialysis-Dependent Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD-5D)patients with and without intradialytic hypertension (IDH).Methods: This was a cross-sectional, observational study involving 40 CKD-5D patients who received two hemodialysis per week for at least three months at the dialysis unit of Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital General Bandung, Indonesia during September 2016. Subjects were divided two groups: with IDH (n=20) and without IDH (n=20). Plasma ET-1 level was examined before and after hemodialysis.Results: There was a significant elevation of ET-1 level (mean±SD pg/mL) between pre- and post-dialysis state in patients with IDH (3.33±1.28 vs. 3.84±1.75; relative changes: 15.32%, p=0.013). No change was observed in patients without IDH (3.99±2.30 vs. 4.38±1.81; relative changes: 9.77% p=0.083). The post-dialysis absolute ET-1 level was significantly lower in CKD-5D patients with IDH (3.84±1.75 vs. 4.38±1.81; p=0.024).Conclusion: There was a significant elevation of ET-1 level in CKD-5D patients with IDH during hemodialysis procedure at the dialysis unit of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung.

Abstract

Objective: To find out the pattern of antibiotic utilization in intensive care unit (ICU). The high use of antibiotics in intensive care may increase antibiotic resistance.Methods: This was a retrospective study with total sampling method from patients who were treated in ICU in the period of January to June 2016. Selected data is processed using the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) Classification/Defined Daily Dose (DDD) system as an international measurement standard for analyzing and comparing usage applied by the WHO.Results: The results showed that of the 57 medical records collected, the total antibiotic use was 295.72 DDD/100 bed-days. Levofloxacin, meropenem, ceftriaxone, ceftazidime, and metronidazole were the five maximally utilized antibiotics with 143.18, 49.88, 30.62, 19.74, dan 16.99 DDD/100 bed-days respectively.Conclusion: The most frequently used of antibiotics is ceftriaxone, used in 54.39% of patients. Whereas in number, the most widely used antibiotic is levofloxacin with a total of 143.18 DDD/100 bed-days.

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the correlation between tissue factor microparticles (TF-MP) levels and pulmonary hypertension (PH) in adult thalassemic patients.    Methods:  This study was conducted from September to October 2018, using secondary and primary data. The secondary data consisted of the PH parameter, which was retrieved from a 2017 previous study entitled ‘Clinical Characteristic and Complication due to Iron Overload in Thalassaemic Patients‘in 2017 while the primary data were the TF-MP, which were obtained from the analysis of frozen serum of the same population using ELISA method. The mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) values were obtained from echocardiography results and PH was defined as mPAP >25 mmHg.Results: Seven (16.7%) major thalassemic patients experienced PH. The median values of TF-MP levels were higher among major thalassemic patients with PH when compared to the non-PH patients (1569 vs 11.5 pg/dL; p=0.023). No significant difference was observed in the median TF-MP levels between subjects with splenectomy and subjects without splenectomy (11.6 vs 12.3 pg/dL; p=0.44). There was also no difference in mPAP values between subjects with splenectomy and subjects without splenectomy (18.0 vs 17.0 mmHg; p=0.663). When the median TF-MP levels among major thalassemic patients were analyzed in terms of correlation with transfusion level, no statistically significant difference was seen between subjects who received sufficient transfusions (≥180 mL/kgbb/year) and those who received insufficient transfusions (<180 mL/kgbb/year) (r= 0.138; p=0.390).Conclusions: There is a positive correlation between the TF-MP levels and PH in adult major thalassemic subjects.

Abstract

Objective: To determine and describe the clinical manifestations and hematological profiles of pediatric Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia (AML) in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital (RSHS), Bandung as a tertiary hospital in West Java, Indonesia.Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study using the total sampling method was performed on the medical records of pediatric patients (0-18 years old)who were diagnosed as AML for the first time through bone marrow examination during the period of January 1, 2015 – December 31, 2017. Results: Of the 54 subjects who met the inclusion criteria, 42.6% were AML patients in the age group 6-12 years with male patients comprised 59.3% of the total number of subjects. Patients generally experienced pallor (83.3%), fever (75.9%), and decreased appetite (70.4%). The hematological profiles showed that 35.2% of patients had Hb <6.5 g/dL and 44.4% had a leukocyte count of  of >50,000 cells/mm3. The majority of the subjects had a platelet count of <50,000 cells/mm3 (83.3%) and almost half of them had a peripheral blasts count of >50% (46.3%).      Conclusion: Clinical manifestations and hematological profiles are important to diagnose AML, especially in pediatric patients. By assessing the manifestations and profiles, it is feasible to access and detect suspected cases of AML.

Abstract

Objective: To desribe a case of cranial subdural hematoma as an atypically sporadic and potentially devastating complication of a lumbar puncture mimicking post-dural puncture headache which may lead to delayed diagnosis.Method: This is a a case report of chronic intracranial subdural hematoma as a complication of lumbar puncture for spinal anaesthesia in a forty-eight-year-old male underwent an uneventful ureterolithotomy. In the postoperative period, the patient complained of excruciating headache which partially subsided with symptomatic treatment. However, after four weeks, the patient presented with worsening headache and  vomiting.Results: A contrast enhanced computer tomography study revealed a subdural haematoma in the left fronto-temporo-parietal-region. The patient underwent an immediate decompressive craniectomy for subdural hematoma. The postoperative period was  uneventful and the patient was discharged without any neurological deficits.Conclusion: Intracranial complication such as subdural hematoma is rare after a dural puncture and is often masquerading as a post dural puncture headache. Imaging studies like computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are to be considered in earlier stages of non-retractable headache to rule out such rare complications.

Abstract

Objective: To determine and describe the antibiotic use pattern in the orthopedics and traumatology ward of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung as a tertiary hospital in West Java, Indonesia.Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study using the total sampling method was performed on the medical records of orthopedics and traumatology patients treated using antibiotics during the period of January 1, 2016 and June 31, 2016.Results: From the 261 subjects who met the inclusion criteria, it was discovered that the most common antibiotics used were in the following order: cefazolin (54.41%), ceftriaxone (21.84%), and cefotaxime (10.35%). Most antibiotics (75.86%) were given as prophylaxis. Antibiotics were most often administered for 2-3 days (42.53%), intravenously (97.7%), and  with a dose of 2x1 gram (92.16%).Conclusion: The most frequently used antibiotics in the orthoaedics and traumatology ward of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital (RSHS) was cefazolin, which was mostly used as a pre-surgical antibiotic. The use of third-generation cephalosporin antibiotics as pre-surgical antibiotics is still observed during this study.

Abstract

Objective: Antibiotic resistance requires substantial responses through two mechanisms: new antibiotic development and smart antibiotic use. Antibiotic Stewardship Program (ASP) is one of the responses that reduce the overall antibiotics use and prevent the overuse of antibiotics to avoid antibiotic resistance. The purpose of this study was to assess the difference in defined daily dose (DDD) and the cost of therapy (COT) for empirical ceftriaxone therapy in sepsis patients pre- and post-ASP model implementation in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung.Methods: A pre- and post-intervention quasi-experimental study on ASP model implementation in empirical ceftriaxone therapy provided to sepsis patients treated in the intensive or semi-intensive care units was performed from December 2015 to July 2016 using the Mann Whitney test and t-test. The DDD was calculated as DDD/100 patient-days, while the COT was calculated as the COT/patient-day. The ASP model intervention implemented in these units applied 2 main strategies: ceftriaxone use restriction and ceftriaxone therapy duration audit.Results: Participants of this study consisted of 112 sepsis subjects (n=112) with 55 subjects in the pre-ASP group and 57 subjects in the post-ASP group. The mean DDD/100 patient-days in the post-ASP subject was lower than that of the pre-ASP (16.3±4.3 and 45.8±16.8; p=0.018). The median COT/patient-days in post-ASP subject was IDR 42,000 (IDR 14.000–42.000), which was lower than that of the pre-ASP group of IDR 84.000 (IDR 28.000–420.000, p=0.001).Conclusion: The differences in the DDD/100 patient-day and COT/patient-day values between the pre-ASP and post-ASP are significant. The ASP model applied in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung leads to a smart use of ceftriaxone and reduces costs for the empiric ceftriaxone therapy in sepsis patients.

Abstract

Objective: Adherence to medication is crucial for hypertension patients in order to control and prevent complications. This study aimed to describe the adherence to antihypertensive drugs among patients with hypertension in Bandung District, West Java, Indonesia.Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study on patients with hypertension in the work area of Cileunyi Public Health Center (PHC), Bandung District, West Java, Indonesia. The inclusion criteria used were patients with hypertension who were prescribed an antihypertensive drug by a physician, above 18 years old, and had been using an antihypertensive medication for at least two months before the study. Data were obtained through interviews during the month of July to August 2018 using a modified MMAS-8 questionnaire of the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8), which includes Likert-type scale questions. Data collected were then analyzed using the Rasch Model, and the mean logit person was used as a cut off between adherence and non-adherence categories.Results: A total of 75 patients with hypertension were recruited. The prevalence of adherence to medication was 59%. Most patients who adhered to the medication were > 55 years old (31%),  female (59%), had been diagnosed with hypertension for < 5 years (31%), and received support from family/social environment (40%).Conclusion: Many factors support the adherence to antihypertensive medication, including age, gender, time of hypertension diagnosis, and support from family or social environment. The adherence to antihypertensive medication among patients with hypertension visited Cileunyi Primary Health Care, Bandung District, West Java, Indonesia is good.
