ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Hip fractures are one of the leading causes of disability and dependency among the elderly. The rate of hip fractures has been progressively increasing due to the continuing increase in average life expectancy. Surgical intervention is the mainstay of treatment, but with an increasing prevalence of comorbid conditions and decreased functional capacity in elderly patients, more patients are prone to postoperative complications. OBJECTIVES: Assess the value of surgical intervention for hip fractures among the elderly by quantifying the 1-year mortality rate and assessing factors associated with mortality. DESIGN: Medical record review. SETTING: Tertiary care center. PATIENTS AND METHODS: All patients 60 years of age or older who sustained a hip fracture between the period of 2008 to 2018 in a single tertiary healthcare center. Data was obtained from case files, using both electronic and paper files. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The 1-year mortality rate for hip fracture, postoperative complications and factors associated with mortality. SAMPLE SIZE: 802 patients. RESULTS: The majority of patients underwent surgical intervention (93%). Intra- and postoperative complications were 3% and 16%, respectively. Four percent of the sample died within 30 days, and 11% died within one year. In a multivariate analysis, an increased risk of 1-year mortality was associated with neck of femur fractures and postoperative complications ( P =.034, <.001, respectively) CONCLUSION: The 1-year mortality risk in our study reinforces the importance of aggressive surgical intervention for hip fractures. LIMITATION: Single-centered study. CONFLICT OF INTEREST: None.

Background: The world has more than 360 million population (almost 5% of world’s population) with disabling hearing loss and among them, 32 million are children. It is estimated that over 166 million people in the developing world face a severe lack of intervention services for hearing loss. There is a need to estimate the magnitude of various ear morbidities in school age children as well as to identify the various risk factors that play a role in the emergence of these morbidities. Aim: To find prevalence of various ear disorders and their risk factors among children 5-11 years old. Methodology: It was a cross-sectional, community based study conducted at a resettlement colony named Gokulpuri, in East Delhi. Study was conducted for a period of one year, Jan 2017 – Dec 2017. Children in the age group 5 yrs. to 11 yrs. were included in the study. Results: Total prevalence of ear morbidities in children was found to be 15.8%. Wax impaction in the ears was found to be most prevalent morbidity 10.6%. Educational status of mother and head of the family, immunization status of child, history of slapping trauma and coryza were among the associated risk factors. Exclusive breast feeding was statistically insignificantly associated

Objective: We analyzed the changes in voice- and swallowing-related symptoms that occurred over time in patients who underwent thyroidectomy and identified any associated risk factors. Methods: One hundred and three patients who underwent thyroidectomy were enrolled. Results: The mean thyroidectomy voice-related questionnaire (TVQ) score before surgery was 12.41 ± 12.19; it significantly increased to 28.24 ± 18.01 ( P < .001) 1 month postoperatively, decreased to 24.02 ± 17.30 ( P = .014) and 20.66 ± 15.29 ( P = .023) 3 and 6 months postoperatively, respectively. It was continuously decreased to 18.83 ± 14.63 twelve months postoperatively. The temporal changes in TVQ scores between patients who underwent total thyroidectomy or lobectomy were significantly different. There was a statistically significant difference in the temporal changes in TVQ according to whether neck dissection was performed. The temporal changes in TVQ in patients with and without extrathyroidal extension were significantly different. Conclusions: Voice- and swallowing-related discomfort in patients who received thyroidectomy showed dynamic changes over time. There was a significant difference in the degree of change according to clinicopathological factors. Patients with these risk factors may benefit from appropriate patient education and various rehabilitation programs for symptom relief.

Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver commonly caused by viral infection such as hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E but it is also possible by other causes. Infection with hepatitis C virus is also referred to as a disguise because the early infection is often asymptomatic that often goes undetected. This study aims at determining the several associated risk factors with hepatitis C serological status. The study design is cross-sectional. The biomedical data collection was carried out in 33 provinces in Indonesia with a population in urban blocks, census in Indonesia, where the sample is all household members over the age of one year from selected households by signing the informed consent. Total block census in selected urban area is about 971-block census with a total sample of 15.536 households. The results showed that there is a correlation between hepatitis C serological status and demographic group and that the age and occupation groups showed significant P value obtained at 0.001 (OR = 3.27, CI = 1.84–5.81) and 0.209 (OR = 0.23, CI = 0.59–0.94). In conclusion, there are risk factors such as age and occupation that have a correlation of being infected with hepatitis C serological status.

Background. Septic shock is a common pediatric emergency with a high mortality rate. Objective. The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical profile and outcome of septic shock in pediatric patients treated at PICU of DR. M. Djamil Padang State General Hospital. Method. This descriptive study used data from medical records, conducted in the Medical Record Department of DR. M. Djamil Padang State General Hospital. The target population was pediatric patients which was diagnosed with septic shock in PICU through 2015 - 2017. Samples were collected by the total sampling technique. Result. During the following study of ninety-one patients septic and forty-eight having septic shock. Children having septic shock were commonly under one year of age, female, low nutritional status, having central neuron system infection of Klebsiella sp, having less than two organ dysfunctions with clinical manifestations of Hyperthermia, Tachycardia, and Tachypnea. Hematological profile found that patients commonly had anemia, leukocytosis, thrombocytopenia, and normal I/T ratio. Shock septic outcomes were found high mortality rate, almost some patients use a ventilator, high inotropic usage, and length of stay in living patients compared to dead. Conclusion. The study concluded that prevalence Septic Shock pediatric still high with higher mortality and also morbidity

Abstract Background: To explore the trends in epidemiology and risk factors related to the prognosis of infective endocarditis in a teaching hospital over the past ten years. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed. A total of 407 consecutive patients were included. The clinical characteristics and risk factors related to the prognosis of infective endocarditis during this period were analyzed. Results: A total of 407 patients with infective endocarditis were included, the average age was 48 ±16 years old with an increasing trend and in-hospital mortality rate was 10.6% and one-year mortality rate was 12.2%. Among patients with underlying heart disease, congenital heart disease was the most common(25.8%), followed by rheumatic heart disease which showed a decreased trend during this period (P<0.001). There were 222(54.5%) positive blood cultures and streptococci (44.1%) was the main pathogens with an increasing trend. There were 403 patients (99%) with surgical indications, but only 234 patients (57.5%) received surgical treatment. Hemodialysis (P = 0.041, OR = 4.697, 95% CI 1.068-20.665), pulmonary hypertension (P = 0.001, OR = 5.308, 95% CI 2.034-13.852), Pitt score ≥ 4 (P <0.001, OR = 28.5, 95% CI 5.5-148.1) and vegetation length＞30mm (P = 0.011, OR = 13.754, 95% CI 1.832-103.250) were independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality. Conclusions: There was no significant change in the overall incidence of IE, the clinical features of IE have changed slightly during the past ten years. Streptococci IE was still the predominant. IE patients with hemodialysis, pulmonary hypertension, Pitt score ≥ 4 and vegetation length＞30mm had an worse in-hospital outcome.
