Pneumonia is one of the common complications of SARS-CoV-2 infection where most patients have moderate to severe symptoms that pose a higher risk for death. This study aims to evaluate the treatment outcome of COVID-19-associated Pneumonia among patients with/without comorbidity in a public hospital in Indonesia. This is a retrospective cohort study involving unvaccinated confirmed COVID-19 patients admitted to the hospital between March and December 2020. All confirmed COVID-19 patients with Pneumonia (n = 1522) treated at the hospital were included. The majority of patients (99%) had mild COVID-19 symptoms while the remaining had moderate symptoms. The median age was about 32 years old and the average treatment duration was 6.25 ± 1.83 days. Most patients (88.8%) received a combination of azithromycin and oseltamivir. There was a very significant relationship (p < 0.001) between comorbidities with treatment and duration of treatment of Pneumonia in COVID-19 patients. Although most patients had Pneumonia and comorbidities, they were successfully treated with azithromycin and oseltamivir combination following approximately five days of treatment.

Bracket Failure

ABSTRACT Objectives: To compare the failure pattern of four different bracket types and to assess its effect on treatment duration. Materials and Methods: A total of 78 white patients (28 male, 50 female) with a mean age of 12.6 years were included in this retrospective cohort study and treated for a mean period of 30.6 months. The patients were treated in a private practice with stainless steel conventionally ligated brackets, ceramic conventionally ligated brackets, stainless steel self-ligating brackets, or nickel-free self-ligating brackets. The loss of at least one bracket during the course of treatment was analyzed with Cox proportional hazards survival analyses and generalized linear regression. Results: The overall bracket failure rate at the tooth level was 14.1% (217 brackets), with significant differences according to tooth type (between 8.0%–23.4%) and bracket type (between 11.2%–20.0%). After taking confounders into account, patients treated with ceramic brackets lost more brackets (hazard ratio = 1.62; 95% confidence interval = 1.14–2.29; P = .007) than patients with stainless steel brackets. On average, treatment time increased by 0.6 months (95% confidence interval = 0.21–1.05; P = .004) for each additional failed bracket. Conclusions: Bracket failure was more often observed with ceramic brackets and was associated with increased treatment duration.

Objectives: 1. To evaluate the orthodontic burden of care of nasoalveolar molding (NAM) and modified McNeil for the treatment of patients with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate (CUCLP). 2. To compare the esthetic outcomes of each with those of centers not utilizing infant orthopedics (IO). Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting: Institutional. Participants: Four cohorts with repaired CUCLP (n = 149) from 3 centers. Interventions: Two cohorts were treated in the same center and had either traditional infant orthopedics (TIO) or NAM and 2 were treated in centers not employing IO. Main Outcome Measures: Burden of care data for the IO groups were compared using t tests. Frontal and profile photographs at approximately age 5 were collected for ratings of nasolabial esthetics, using a modification of the Asher-McDade method. Intrarater and interrater reliabilities were determined using weighted κ statistics. Median ratings were compared using a Kruskal-Wallis test. Results: The burden of care of NAM was significantly greater than TIO for both the number of visits (9.9 vs 6.6, [ P < .001]); and treatment duration (127 vs 112 days, [ P < .05]). Significant differences in nasolabial esthetic ratings were noted among the 3 centers. No significant differences were observed in the nasolabial esthetic outcomes between the NAM and TIO groups. Conclusions: 1. NAM required more visits and longer overall duration compared with TIO. 2. The center employing IO showed favorable nasolabial esthetics compared to those not utilizing IO. 3. No significant differences were found in the nasolabial esthetics of patients who have received NAM compared with TIO.
