Background: Indonesia ranked the seventh position of the most diabetes patients among other countries. Several risk factors affected the viability of diabetes mellitus patients, such as sex, age, type of DM, obesity, diet program, and family history of DM. Purpose: This research aims to analyze the variables that affect the viability of diabetes mellitus patients with complications. Methods: This research used descriptive analytic research with cross-sectional research design.

Penyakit komorbid Diabetes Melitus (DM) yang umum dan paling sering adalah hipertensi. DM dan hipertensi terdapat secara bersamaan pada 40%-60% penderita DM tipe 2. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui unmodifiable factors dan modifiable factors pada penderita DM tipe 2 sebagai faktor risiko hipertensi. Desain penelitian ini adalah cross sectional. Sampel penelitian adalah pasien DM tipe 2 yang berobat di poli penyakit dalam RSUD dr. Chasbullah Abdulmadjid Kota Bekasi pada tanggal 30 September-19 Oktober 2019 dengan total sampel sebanyak 292 responden. Unmodifiable factors meliputi gender, umur, pendidikan, status perkawinan, lama menderita DM, hereditas DM, hereditas hipertensi dan golongan darah. Sedangkan modifiable factors terdiri dari indeks massa tubuh, pekerjaan, aktifitas fisik dan merokok. Hipertensi adalah keadaan tekanan darah sistolik ≥ 140 mm Hg dan/atau tekanan darah diastolik ≥ 90 mm Hg. Analisis data dengan Cox regression menggunakan Stata versi 15. Persentase hipertensi pada penderita DM tipe 2 adalah 46,57%. Dari analisis multivariat faktor risiko hipertensi yang signifikan untuk unmodifiable factors adalah faktor umur > 50 tahun (Pv= 0,02; PR= 1,93) dan kelompok dengan hereditas DM yang berasal dari kakek/nenek (Pv= 0,04; PR= 1,86) dan orang tua (Pv= 0,04; PR= 1,54). Sedangkan dari modifiable factors, Indeks Massa Tubuh berat badan lebih (Pv= 0,01; PR=1,81) dan obesitas (Pv=0,02; PR=1,81), merupakan faktor risiko hipertensi yang signifikan. Disarankan agar terhadap pasien DM tipe 2 terutama bila disertai dengan berat badan berlebih atupun obesitas perlu diberikan informasi lengkap tentang faktor risiko hipertensi.

Abstract: Glycosuria is a condition characterized by an excess of sugar in the urine. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the causes of glycosuria. Mortality risks of pregnant women and their babies increase in diabetes during pregnancy. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is DM diagnosed in 2nd and 3rd trimesters of pregmancy in women without DM before pregnancy. The probability of GDM among women with family history of DM is 3.46 times higher than those without family history. This study was aimed to evaluate the urine glucose level among primigravids who had diabetic parents in Manado. This was a descriptive observational study with a cross sectional design. Urine samples were obtained by using non-probability sampling with consecutive sampling adjusted to the criteria and time. The results showed that glycosuria (urin sugar level ≥50mg/dL) was found in three subjects (10%), most in age group of 20-35 years old and in 1st trimester. Conclusion: Some of the primigravids in this study had glycosuria.Keywords: DM, glycosuria, DM family history Abstrak: Glukosuria adalah kondisi dimana glukosa ditemukan dalam urin.

The aim of this study was first to describe the natural history of Buerger's disease (BD) and then to discuss a clinical approach to this disease based on multivariate analysis. One hundred eight patients who corresponded with Shionoya's criteria were selected from 2000 to 2007 for this study. Major amputation was considered the ultimate adverse event. Survival analyses were performed by Kaplan–Meier curves. Independent variables including gender, duration of smoking, number of cigarettes smoked per day, minor amputation events and type of treatments, were determined by multivariate Cox regression analysis. The recorded data demonstrated that BD may present in four forms, including relapsing-remitting (75%), secondary progressive (4.6%), primary progressive (14.2%) and benign BD (6.2%). Most of the amputations occurred due to relapses within the six years after diagnosis of BD. In multivariate analysis, duration of smoking of more than 20 years had a significant relationship with further major amputation among patients with BD. Smoking cessation programs with experienced psychotherapists are strongly recommended for those areas in which Buerger's disease is common. Patients who have smoked for more than 20 years should be encouraged to quit smoking, but should also be recommended for more advanced treatment for limb salvage.

OBJECTIVE: To identify the vulnerabilities of children admitted to a pediatric inpatient unit of a university hospital.METHODS: Cross-sectional, descriptive study from April to September 2013 with36 children aged 30 days to 12 years old, admitted to medical-surgical pediatric inpatient units of a university hospital and their caregivers. Data concerning sociocultural, socioeconomic and clinical context of children and their families were collected by interview with the child caregiver and from patients, records, and analyzed by descriptive statistics.RESULTS: Of the total sample, 97.1% (n=132) of children had at least one type of vulnerability, the majority related to the caregiver's level of education, followed by caregiver's financial situation, health history of the child, caregiver's family situation, use of alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drugs by the caregiver, family's living conditions, caregiver's schooling, and bonding between the caregiver and the child. Only 2.9% (n=4) of the children did not show any criteria to be classified in a category of vulnerability.CONCLUSIONS: Most children were classified has having a social vulnerability. It is imperative to create networks of support between the hospital and the primary healthcare service to promote healthcare practices directed to the needs of the child and family.
