While gastrointestinal disease is common among HIV infected individuals, the prevalence and distribution of ano-rectal pathology has not been well studied in our setting. The objective of this study therefore was to determine the prevalence and determinants of ano-rectal pathology in HIV infected patients attending the Douala General Hospital HIV treatment centre. A hospital-based cross-sectional study was undertaken. We collected socio-demographic, clinical and laboratory data using a structured questionnaire and patients’ files. Each study participant had a full physical and ano-rectal examination. We further studied factors associated with having at least one ano-rectal lesion by logistic regression reporting odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CI). We included 390 HIV infected patients. The mean age was 41 (SD: 8) years and 48% were men. Median duration since HIV diagnosis was 3 (interquartile range: 2–5) years and median CD4 cell count was 411 (interquartile range: 234–601) cells/mm3. Prevalence of ano-rectal pathology was 22.8% (95% CI: 18.7–27.3). Hemorrhoids and proctitis were most common lesions found; each in 10% of patients. From multivariate logistic regression, factors associated with ano-rectal pathology were CD4 < 350 cells/ml (OR: 2.1, 95% CI: 1.1–4.2), not on highly active antiretroviral therapy (OR: 2.2, 95% CI: 1.1–4.6), inpatient (OR: 2.3, 95% CI: 1.2–4.3), ano-rectal intercourse (OR: 5.0, 95% CI: 1.7–15.1), and more than one sexual partner (OR: 2.4, 95% CI: 1.3–4.2). Ano-rectal pathology is common amongst HIV infected patients. Care givers should actively investigate and treat them as this will improve the quality of life of people living with HIV/AIDS.

The Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) in Indonesia is still fairly high. One of the top three causes of maternal death is bleeding. Spontaneous abortion is an early pregnancy problem leading to the occurrence of bleeding and direct maternal death. The causes of spontaneous abortion vary and can be caused by multiple factors. Early identification of risk factors is necessary to reduce mortality and morbidity due to spontaneous abortion and its complications. This study's objective was to identify the risk factors of spontaneous abortion in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital. This study was an observational analytic with a case-control approach. The population was all pregnant women hospitalized at the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital from January 2017 to December 2018. The samples were 120 in total, included  40 cases and 80 controls taken by consecutive sampling. The data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the Chi-square test. The results based on the bivariate analysis showed history of previous abortion (p <0.001), chronic maternal disease (p <0.001), hemoglobin levels (p = 0.020), maternal age (p= 0.026), gravidity (p= 0.036), and  infection (p= 0.037) had significant correlation with spontaneous abortion. In conclusion, risk factors associated with spontaneous abortion in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital were history of previous abortion, chronic maternal disease, anemia, advanced maternal age, multigravidity, and infection. Positive pregnancy outcomes are expected to play a role in reducing MMR in Indonesia. Therefore, high-risk pregnant women are suggested to carry out regular Antenatal care recommendations with intensive supervision.
