Status gizi, usia dan faktor ekonomi merupakan faktor internal pasien yang mempengaruhi frekuensi infeksi. Masyarakat masih belum mengetahui status gizinya dan tidak dapat memperbaikinya, dengan penyebab yang bervariasi baik dari keadaan ekonomi maupun dari kurangnya pengetahuan masyarakat tentang gizi. Faktor internal lain dalam frekuensi infeksi adalah usia, pada pasien yang lebih tua dari 70 tahun. Faktor usia di atas 70 dapat menurunkan pertahanan tubuh. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi kejadian infeksi post operasi di bangsal Vijaya Kusumah RSUD Kota Banjar. Penelitian ini menggunakan beberapa jenis penelitian korelasi. Populasi penelitian ini terdiri dari seluruh pasien pasca operasi dan sampel sebanyak 21 responden. Alat yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kuesioner, dan analisis data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah univariat dan bivariat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada pengaruh faktor status gizi terhadap kejadian infeksi post operasi, pengaruh faktor status gizi terhadap kejadian infeksi post operasi dan pengaruh faktor ekonomi terhadap kejadian infeksi post operasi. Akibatnya, faktor status gizi tidak mempengaruhi angka infeksi pasca operasi, tetapi faktor status gizi dan tingkat ekonomi ditemukan mempengaruhi angka infeksi pasca operasi. Hasil penelitian ini dimaksudkan untuk digunakan sebagai buku teks dan literatur untuk mengatasi masalah infeksi pasca operasi.Nutritional status, age and economic factors are internal patient factors that affect the frequency of infection. The community still does not know their nutritional status and cannot improve it, with various causes, both from economic conditions and from a lack of public knowledge about nutrition. Another internal factor in the frequency of infection is age, in patients older than 70 years. The age factor over 70 can lower the body's defenses. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that influence the incidence of postoperative infection in the Vijaya Kusumah ward, Banjar City Hospital. This study uses several types of correlation research. The population of this study consisted of all postoperative patients and a sample of 21 respondents. The instrument used in this study was a questionnaire, and the data analysis used in this study was univariate and bivariate. The results showed that there was no influence of nutritional status factors on the incidence of postoperative infections, the influence of nutritional status factors on the incidence of postoperative infections and the influence of economic factors on the incidence of postoperative infections. As a result, nutritional status factors did not affect postoperative infection rates, but nutritional status factors and economic level were found to influence postoperative infection rates. The results of this study are intended to be used as a textbook and literature to address the problem of postoperative infection.

ObjectiveThis paper reports perioperative mortality and postoperative infection rates of surgical patients who underwent operations at district-level hospitals in Malawi and Zambia, and the associations of these outcomes with patient characteristics based on routinely available data.DesignProspective cohort study.SettingEight government district hospitals in Malawi and nine mission and government district hospitals in Zambia.Outcome measuresPerioperative mortality and postoperative infection were used as primary outcome measures in this study. Logistic regression and penalised maximum likelihood logistic regression were used to examine the factors correlated with surgical outcomes.ResultsThe average perioperative mortality rates were 0.19% and 0.43% in Malawi and Zambia, respectively. Penalised maximum likelihood logistic regression showed that age (OR=1.046, 95% CI 1.016 to 1.078) and American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status score II (OR=6.658, 95% CI 2.363 to 18.762) were significantly associated with perioperative deaths. General surgery procedures were significantly more likely than obstetrical procedures to result in perioperative deaths (OR=3.821, 95% CI 1.226 to 11.908). The average rates of postoperative infections in Malawi and Zambia were 2.69% and 2.24%, respectively. Age (OR=1.010, 95% CI 1.000 to 1.020) and male sex (OR=0.407, 95% CI 0.260 to 0.637) were significantly associated with postoperative infections. Additional factors, general procedures (OR=2.319, 95% CI 1.397 to 3.850) and trauma-related procedure (OR=5.490, 95% CI 2.632 to 11.449) were significantly associated with infection rates. There was no significant correlation between surgical outcomes and cadre of lead surgeon (a non-physician clinician or doctor).ConclusionRates of mortality and postoperative infections in this sample of district-level hospitals in Malawi and Zambia were relatively low, with poorer preoperative physical status as the main predictor of both greater postoperative infection and mortality. The study demonstrates that outcomes of major surgical cases do not depend on the cadre (type) of surgeon performing it, and outcomes can be monitored using routine data, at district level in these countries.Trial registration numberISRCTN66099597.

Background: Postoperative infection is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients who undergo craniotomy and/or craniectomy. Data on the rates of infections associated with these procedures are limited. We present a single-center retrospective study on the rates of infection in post-traumatic craniotomies, craniectomies and cranioplasties. Methods: Data on 100 TBI adult patients who underwent a craniotomy, craniectomy and/or cranioplasty from 2011-2015 will be analyzed. Demographic and perioperative data including open/closed TBI, peri/postoperative infections, duration of procedure, type and mode of bone flap preservation will be retrieved. Results: Following our data collection (to be completed by the end of February), we expect infection rates of 3-20% in our study. Upon instituting a protocol similar to the Hydrocephalus Clinical Research Network’s (HCRN) ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VP) protocol, we hope to reduce our post-TBI craniotomy/craniectomy/cranioplasty infections rates to less than 10%. Our projection is based on the HCRN protocol’s 3.15% absolute risk reduction of VP shunt infections. Conclusions: The results of this study will emphasize the need for instituting robust perioperative protocols to reduce infections. Further research will be pursued following this study to establish a protocol similar to the VP shunt protocol from the HCRN, in an attempt to reduce perioperative rates of infection.

Anthrax is a neglected zoonotic disease that remains a global issue because it can cause regular epidemics. Anthrax affects not only health systems but also social-economic conditions, safety, and welfare of the people. This paper aimed to give an overview of human anthrax, prevalence, and prevention in Indonesia. A literature search was performed using search engines such as Google Scholar, Crossref, Mendeley, PLoS One, Elsevier, dan the Ministry of Health official website. The literature used were published between 2015-2020. Anthrax is caused by Bacillus anthracis that affects animals and humans. The virulence factors of these bacteria are determined by the tripartite toxin complex and poly-γ-D-glutamic acid capsule. Anthrax in humans can be found in four forms, namely cutaneous, gastrointestinal, inhalational, and injection anthrax. Each form of anthrax can develop into meningitis and sepsis. Anthrax treatment is commonly done by administering antibiotics. In Indonesia, 14 provinces have been declared anthrax endemic areas. The prevalence of human anthrax in Indonesia is fluctuating and most of it is cutaneous anthrax. Prevention and control of anthrax can be done mainly by vaccination, obeying the rules or standard operating procedures of the authorities, multisectoral cooperation, strengthening anthrax surveillance, increasing resources for diagnosis, increasing public knowledge, and awareness.

Abstract Purpose One of the most common complications after septoplasty is a postoperative infection. We investigated the number of postoperative infections and unplanned postoperative visits (UPV) in septoplasties with and without additional nasal surgery at our institution and evaluated the role of antibiotic prophylaxis. Methods We collected data of all consecutive 302 septoplasty or septocolumelloplasty patients operated during the year 2018 at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, HUS Helsinki University Hospital (Helsinki, Finland). Hospital charts were reviewed to record sociodemographic patient characteristics and clinical parameters regarding surgery and follow-up. Results Altogether 239 patients (79.1%) received pre- and/or postoperative prophylactic antibiotics and within this group 3.3% developed a postoperative infection. The infection rate in the non-prophylaxis group of 63 patients was 12.7% (p = 0.007). When all patients who received postoperative antibiotics were excluded, we found that the infection rate in the preoperative prophylaxis group was 3.8%, as opposed to an infection rate of 12.7% in the non-prophylaxis group (p = 0.013). When evaluating septoplasty with additional sinonasal surgery (n = 115) the rate of postoperative infection was 3.3% in the prophylaxis group and 16.7% in the non-prophylaxis group (p = 0.034). These results show a statistically significant stand-alone effect of preoperative prophylactic antibiotics in preventing postoperative infection in septoplasty, especially regarding additional sinonasal surgery. Conclusion The use of preoperative antibiotics as a prophylactic measure diminished statistically significantly the rate of infections and UPVs in septoplasty when all postoperative infections, superficial and mild ones included, were taken into account.

The assertion that economic conditions prevailing during a government's tenure influence the level of electoral support it receives is frequently expressed in Turkey. Despite frequent references to economic dimensions of electoral behavior in Turkish media and academic circles, however, there are only a few systematic analyses of the impact of macro-economic performance on incumbents' electoral success. Bulutay and Yıldırım (1969) and Bulutay (1970) were the first attempts in this direction. These pioneering empirical analyses were mainly descriptive and rely on cross-sectional observations across provinces for the elections between 1950 and 1969. Based solely on developments in the agricultural sector they concluded that economic factors were first among the factors determining election outcomes. Özselçuk (1975) included macro-economic indicators, such as changes in per capita income and prices, in a regression model to explain changes in incumbents' vote share. Özselçuk provided some evidence that incumbents' electoral support was shaped by developments in macro-economic indicators, however, his analyses were technically deficient and his results were poorly documented.

Category: Hindfoot; Ankle; Ankle Arthritis Introduction/Purpose: Tibiotalocalcaneal (TTC) fusion is used to treat a variety of conditions affecting the ankle and subtalar joint, including osteoarthritis (OA), Charcot arthropathy, avascular necrosis (AVN) of the talus, failed total ankle arthroplasty, and severe deformity. The prevalence of postoperative complications remains high due to the complexity of hindfoot disease seen in these patients. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between preoperative conditions and postoperative complications in order to predict the outcome following primary TTC fusion. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 101 patients who underwent TTC fusion at the same institution between 2011 and 2019. Risk ratios (RRs) associated with age, sex, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, smoking, preoperative ankle deformity, and the use of bone graft during surgery were related to the postoperative complications. We determined from these data which pre- and perioperative factors significantly affected the outcome. Results: Patients with a preoperative diagnosis of Charcot arthropathy and non-traumatic OA had significantly higher nonunion rates of 44.4% (12 patients) and 39.1% (18 patients) (p = 0.016) and infection rates of 29.6% (eight patients) and 37% (17 patients) compared to patients with traumatic arthritis, respectively (p = 0.002). There was a significantly increased rate of nonunion in diabetic patients (RR 2.22; p = 0.010). Patients with chronic kidney disease were 2.37-times more likely to have a nonunion (p = 0.006). Patients aged over 60 years had more than a three-fold increase in the rate of postoperative infection (RR 3.60; p = 0.006). The use of bone graft appeared to be significantly protective against postoperative infection (p = 0.019). Conclusion: We were able to confirm, in the largest series of TTC ankle fusions currently in the literature, that there remains a high rate of complications following this procedure. Those with diabetes, chronic kidney disease, or aged over 60 years had an increased risk of nonunion. These findings help to confirm those of previous studies. Additionally, our study adds to the literature by showing that autologous bone graft may help in decreasing infection rates. This helps surgeons further understand which patients are at a higher risk for postoperative complications when undergoing TTC fusion. [Table: see text]

Objective: This study was aimed at assessing socio-demographic and economic factors associated with nutritional status of adolescent school girls in Lay Guyint Woreda, Northwest Ethiopia. Methods: The school-based cross-sectional study comprising 362 adolescent girls aged 10–19 years was included in the study. Simple random sampling technique with proportional allocation to size was used to select the participants. An interviewer-administered questionnaire and anthropometric measurement were used to collect the data. An anthropometric measurement was converted to the indices of nutritional status using World Health Organization Anthro Plus software. Result: The overall prevalence of stunting and thinness among adolescent girls were 16.3% and 29%, respectively. Adolescents aged 14–15 years (AOR = 3.65; 95% confidence interval: 1.87, 7.11), adolescents living in rural areas (AOR = 1.34; 95% confidence interval: 1.24, 2.33), and adolescents who did not have snack (AOR = 11.39; 95% confidence interval: 1.47, 17.8) were positively associated with stunting. Whereas mother’s occupation was negatively associated with stunting (AOR = 0.12; 95% confidence interval: 0.17, 0.87). Similarly, being a rural resident (AOR = 2.40; 95% confidence interval: 1.13, 5.08) and adolescents aged 14–15 years (AOR = 6.05; 95% confidence interval: 2.15, 17.04) were positively associated with thinness. Educational status of adolescent girls was negatively associated with thinness (AOR = 0.13; 95% confidence interval: 0.05, 0.35). Conclusion: Stunting and thinness are prevalent among adolescent girls. The age of adolescents, place of residence, having a snack, and mother’s occupation was significantly associated with stunting and thinness. Having at least a one-time snack in addition to the usual diet is strongly recommended.
