PP.90 Risk Factors Associated with Intrauterine Deaths – Our Experience At District General Hospital

Lung adenocarcinoma is one type of lung cancers that increases in number every year globally. Smoking is one of the risk factors for lung adenocarcinoma. This study aimed to determine the distribution of the risk factors of lung adenocarcinoma in patients. The risk factors observed in this study included age, gender, smoking history, number of cigarettes, types of cigarettes, and smoking duration. This study was descriptive and performed a cross sectional design. The study’s population was all lung cancer patients who were treated at Dr. Soetomo District General Hospital Surabaya. The samples were drawn using the accidental sampling technique from the population that met the inclusion criteria. The inclusion criteria for this respondents were patients who were diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma and were willing to be interviewed. While the exclusion criteria involved patients with incomplete medical record data and patients who were not willing to be interviewed. The results indicate that the majority of lung adenocarcinoma patients at Dr. Soetomo District General Hospital Surabaya were male who were light smokers, diagnosed at more than 50 years old. Most of them used filter cigarettes and had smoked for more than 30 years. Keywords: Lung adenocarcinoma, risk factors, cross-sectional.

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.

Little Finger

In a retrospective survey of patients with fractures and dislocations attending the Accident department of a District General hospital, comparison was made between patients with fractures and dislocations in the hand and fractures and dislocations of other sites. Patients with hand injuries accounted for 28% of the total patients seen. They were more likely than other fracture patients to be male and between the ages of 10 and 40 years. Almost a quarter of hand injuries attended on Monday. Leisure activities outside the home formed the commonest aetiological factor. Only 66% of patients with hand injuries attended the Accident department within 24 hours of injury. The little finger was the commonest site of injury. This survey emphasizes the differences between hand injuries and injuries of other sites, identifies the risk factors for hand injuries and has implications for the management of hand injuries in a District General Hospital.
