Histoplasma capsulatum exposure is rarely suspected in Indonesia. Pulmonary histoplasmosis can occur simultaneously with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) or as an alternative diagnosis in clinically-diagno...
This was a sub-study of 306 participants from a prospective cohort pulmonary TB study conducted at seven TB referral hospitals in Indonesia. The study population was presumptive pulmonary TB adult pat...
12.7% (39/306) of pulmonary TB patients were positive for anti-H. capsulatum IgG antibodies (DR-TB patients (15.9%, 18/114), DS-TB (13.0%, 15/115), and clinically-diagnosed TB (7.8%, 6/77)). The media...
Our results provide evidence of exposure to H. capsulatum among pulmonary TB patients in Indonesia. Further studies are needed to provide a comprehensive picture of this fungal disease in other popula...
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at higher risk of being admitted to the hospital than the general population. Hospitalizations in patients with CKD are associated with higher medical co...
Retrospective, observational cohort study....
Medicare Part A and Part B claims from calendar years 2017 and 2018 from 50,000 unique patients with a diagnosis of stage 3 to 5 CKD were used for this study. Data were split into training (n = 40,000...
The final model was a gradient-boosting machine with 399 input terms. The model demonstrated good ability to discriminate (area under the curve [AUC] for the receiver operating characteristic curve = ...
We developed an algorithm that uses medical claims to identify Medicare patients with CKD stages 3 to 5 who are at highest risk of being hospitalized in the near term. This algorithm could be used as ...
Accurately identifying risk factors that predict fatality in dengue is crucial for patient triage and clinical management. Our objective was to identify predictors of death associated with dengue and ...
A multicenter longitudinal observation study conducted from 2008 to 2019....
A total of 1272 patients (113 who died and 1186 who recovered) diagnosed with dengue were included. Old age, CKD, and an elevated white blood cell count at hospital presentation were identified as ind...
This study offers valuable insights into predictors linked to fatality in dengue and reinforces the importance of optimizing patient triage to improve the quality of care....
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is associated with several comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases. These comorbidities are also risk factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD)...
The objective was to study the prevalence of CKD in HS patients....
Cross-sectional population-based study using the United States National Inpatient Sample database between January 1, 2002 and December 31, 2012 was performed....
We identified 23,767 hospital admissions for HS patients and 95,068 admissions for age- and gender-matched controls. The prevalence of CKD in HS patients was 6.3% (1,497/23,767) compared to non-HS con...
Our findings show that there is a possible association of HS with CKD. Any signs of CKD should be assessed by a nephrologist as early diagnosis can hopefully prevent further progression....
COVID-19 causes significant mortality during the recent pandemic. Data regarding the effectiveness of Paxlovid on COVID-19 patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD, eGFR <90 ml/min) are limited....
A retrospective cohort study was performed on the clinical data of the hospitalized adult patients with confirmed COVID-19 infection collected at Renji Hospital from April 7, 2022 to June 21, 2022. Th...
1279 of 2387 enrollees were included in the study. Patients with early initiation of Paxlovid had a lower all-cause death rate compared to those with late initiation or without Paxlovid treatment (P =...
All-cause death, invasive ventilation, and ICU admission were all significantly lowered by an early initiation of Paxlovid treatment in COVID-19 patients with severe CKD....
Chronic heart failure is the most common cause of hospitalization in Europe and rates are steadily increasing due to aging of the population. Hospitalization identifies a fundamental change in the nat...
to analyze care transition in hospital discharge planning for patients with chronic noncommunicable diseases....
a qualitative study, based on the Care Transitions Intervention theoretical model, with four pillars of intervention, to ensure a safe transition. Twelve professionals participated in a public hospita...

they were shown to be important elements in discharge planning composition, aiming to ensure a safe care transition, team participation with nurses as main actors, early discharge planning and family ...
Systemic glucocorticoid therapy can improve the outcomes of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). The study tried to investigate the use of glucocorticoids in AECOPD pa...
Patients with AECOPD over two periods were divided by the year of 2017 when GOLD and ERS/ATS Guideline for COPD were updated. Data of patients regarding the study was retrieved from medical records. D...
Between 2010 and 2016, the proportion of ICS use was 522/640 (81.6%) and 341/452 (75.4%) between 2017 and 2020. COPD severity (GOLD C/D classification), bronchial asthma, percentage of neutrophils, an...
The optimized use of glucocorticoids was found after the publishment of 2017 ERS/ATS Guideline for COPD, this improvement was associated with a decreased 1-year recurrence rate among AECOPD patients a...
Different tools have been developed to measure patients' comfort. This study aims to translate, validate, and apply the Comfort Behaviors Checklist to hospitalized children with chronic diseases....
Validity and reliability are assessed using face and content validity, construct validity (known-groups technique and Principal Component Analysis), internal consistency, and inter-rater reliability. ...
The Comfort Behaviors Checklist demonstrates acceptable face and content validity. Construct validity is supported by the lack of correlation between behavioral comfort scores in known groups. The Pri...
