Abstract: The utilization of hospital services is a benchmark for the success of a health care referral system. Indonesia as the largest archipelago in the world encounters challenging conditions along with lack of infrastructure posed economic and health disparity among its regions. Disparities as a result of this development also have an impact on the accessibility of health care facilities. Regions with good economic movements tend to have good accessibility to health care facilities. For this reason, reducing disparity to achieve universal health services is the goal of health planners and policy makers. Chi Square test was used to test dichotomy variables and t-tests was performed for analysing the difference among continuous variables. These tests were employed to assess the hypothesis that there was significant regional difference in the access of health care in Indonesia. Estimation using multinomial logistic regression test was used to study the disparity between regions in hospital utilization. The results of this study showed that disparities between regions in Indonesia exist in term of hospital utilization. The disparities in hospital utilization among regions in Indonesia were associated with: marital status, socioeconomic status, education level, occupation and insurance ownership. However, the difference in odds ratio for mortality between regions decreased compared to the previous period. Conclusion. Disparities in the hospital utilization among region in Indonesia was associated with complex factors from individual characteristics through geographic barriers.

Abstract Background. The utilization of hospital services is a benchmark for the success of a health care referral system. Indonesia as the largest archipelago in the world encounters challenging conditions along with lack of infrastructure posed economic and health disparity among its regions. Disparities as a result of this development also have an impact on the accessibility of health care facilities.Methods. Chi Square test was used to test dichotomy variables and t-tests were performed for analyzing the difference among continuous variables. These tests were employed to assess the hypothesis that there was significant regional difference in the access of health care in Indonesia. Estimation using multinomial logistic regression test was used to study the disparity between regions in hospital utilization.Results. The results of this study indicate that there were disparities between regions in Indonesia. In the inpatient category all regions have better utilization than the Papua region, except the Sumatra region. The highest disparity occurs between the Nusa Tenggara region and the Papua region. Possibility of utilizing hospital vs. inpatient facilities not using the hospital 1,439 times in adults in the Nusa Tenggara region compared to the Papua region (OR = 1,439; 95% CI = 1,271 - 1,629). In the category of outpatient utilization as well as hospitalization in hospitals, the Papua region has better hospital utilization compared to other regions. The greatest disparity with the Sumatra region (OR = 0.484; 95% CI = 0.392 - 0.597).Conclusion. In conclusion, there were disparities between regions in Indonesia even though the odds ratio for mortality between regions decreased compared to the previous period.Ethical Clearance. The 2013 RISKESDAS survey had ethical clearance that was approved by the national ethical committee in the NIHRD (ethic number: 01.1206.207). Informed consent was used during data collection, which considered aspects of data collection procedure, voluntary, and confidentiality.

Abstract Background Chronic patients are required to access their chronic medicines on a regular basis, often only to refill their repeat prescriptions. Adherence to chronic medicines is challenging and has stimulated health care providers to devise differentiated service delivery models of care to decentralise chronic medicine distribution to decrease the frequency of medicine collection at health care facilities. One such option includes a last kilometre medicine delivery service. This study investigated chronic patients’ preferences for a last kilometre medicine delivery service model. Methods An exploratory non-randomised quantitative study was conducted over 4 weeks at four public sector primary health care facilities in Cape Town, South Africa. Data was collected on a structured questionnaire from chronic patients queuing to receive medication at each facility’s pharmacy waiting area. Patient demographics were noted to align with preferences for chronic medicine service delivery characteristics including; mobile ordering, fee for service and location for delivery. Chi-square test and frequencies were employed to analyse data using SPSS version 23. Results A total of 116 patients participated in this study. Most were interested in a medicine delivery service (80.2%) and were willing to use a mobile application to order their medicines (84.5%). Almost all patients (96.8%) preferred that their medicines be delivered to their home. More than three quarters of participants were willing to pay for the service (77.6%). Chi-square test showed that gender, age group, employment status, distance to the health facility and /or average waiting time at the clinic significantly influenced the preference for certain characteristics of the medicine delivery service (p < 0.05). Conclusion Most participants were interested in a last kilometre medicine delivery service, especially those older than 45 years, waiting for more than 6 h at the facility, and staying within one kilometre radius of the clinic. More studies are needed to establish the influence of patients’ employment status and the distance to health facility on interest in the medicine delivery service.

Background: Construction sector is a thriving industry which comprises most of the unorganized workers and providing widespread opportunities for employment of most of the poorest and marginalized sections of society in India. The workers are more susceptible to various occupational hazards due to working conditions in dusty environment. This study is proposed to identify the morbidity pattern, availability and usage of safety measures, health care seeking behaviour and health care facilities at the quarry site.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among the stone quarry workers of Maduranthakam area in Kancheepuram district from February 2018 to May 2018. The sample size was calculated as 94 and five quarries were selected randomly. The study tool was interview based semi structured questionnaire and clinical examination. Appropriate descriptive and inferential statistics like Chi square test, Fischer’s exact test was done to determine significant association (p<0.05).Results: The common morbidities among the participants were abdominal conditions (54%), injuries (34%) and musculoskeletal disorders (27%). One in five individuals had respiratory problems and those with breathing difficulty had decreased peak expiratory flow rate. Usage of personal protective equipments is low and about 63.8% of them were using government health care facilities.Conclusions: Increasing demand for stone and aggregates has led to extensive stone quarrying operations. Awareness and enforcement of personal protective equipment, vaccination against diseases like tetanus, periodic health check- ups should be enforced for people working in quarries.

415 Background: It has been argued that universal screening for LS should be performed on all patients (pts) diagnosed with CRC because screening LS pts and their relatives can detect early cancers and improve outcomes. This approach is being adopted by many comprehensive cancer centers around the country. The Ohio State University (OSU) began screening for deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) proteins by immunohistochemistry (IHC) on all CRC cases in 2006. This retrospective study aims to assess whether universal screening with IHC followed by conclusive testing (BRAF mutation in setting of MLH1 deficiency, and/or gene sequencing) affects pts survival. Methods: All CRC pts diagnosed at OSU from 3/2006-6/2012 with dMMR testing per IHC were included, and their charts were reviewed. Chi-square test was used to for categorical parameters, t-test was used for continuous variables, and the log-rank test for overall survival (OS) to compare the difference between pts with full conclusive testing vs those without full testing. Patients who expired within 4 weeks of diagnosis were excluded (n=10) from the OS analysis. Results: One hundred and twenty-two tumors (15.7% of 777 tumors tested) had dMMR by IHC during the study period. Fifty-one pts went on to have conclusive testing done; thirteen patients (25.5%) were diagnosed with LS, 29 patients (56.9%) had MLH1-hypermethylated tumors, and 9 patients (17.6%) were not found to have MMR mutations on gene sequencing. In an OS analysis, patients undergoing conclusive testing had significantly longer survival as compared to those with abnormal IHC without further testing (median OS not reached vs. 38 months, p=0.04). The difference was similar and remained marginally significant (p= 0.04-0.09) after correcting for age, stage and testing date using different models. Conclusions: Patients who had conclusive testing after initial abnormal universal screening with IHC had significantly longer OS compared to pts who had abnormal IHC without follow-up testing. It is possible that ascertainment bias and pts compliance influenced survival so larger prospective studies that document stage and treatment are needed to determine if increased surveillance in the setting of a LS diagnosis leads to better OS.

<p>This study aimed to demonstrate the effect of successive stages of high-level judo competitions on match outcome and the factors effecting it. A total of 4550 official matches in both men and women were included in the analysis. Frequencies and percentages were used for descriptive statistics. Mean and standard deviations with 95% confidence intervals were also presented. The difference in the variables investigated for each stage of judo competitions was analysed with the Chi-square test. Continuous variables were analysed with the Kruskal-Wallis test. The way competitors won a match differed in elimination, final stages, and medal matches (<em>p</em>=.02). When the difficulty of the matches increased, the percentage of the matches ended with <em>ippon </em>decreased and the percentage of the matches resulted with <em>waza-ari</em> increased. The percentage of the matches without any <em>shido</em> decreased from the elimination to the finals while there was a significant increase in the percentage of the matches with s<em>hido </em>(<em>p</em>=.01). The match duration was found to increase from eliminations to the finals (<em>p</em>=.00). The efficiency index of the winner athletes during the first stage was higher than the other stages (<em>p</em>&lt;.05). In conclusion, high-level judo athletes won a match with different scores at different stages during high-level judo competitions. Moreover, athletes were awarded with penalties more during the finals compared to eliminations, and match duration incrementally increased from the eliminations to the finals.</p>

This paper will attempt to clarify the meaning of negligence. The difference between the negligent acts of a layman and a professional are defined and compared, as well as professional and non-professional occupations. The method of determining the standard by which occupational therapists are measured is discussed as well as the points the Courts consider when the standard is breached and harm to the patient results. Consideration is given to the gradual shift of responsibility from the physician to the health care professional, the ensuing legal implications, and the division of responsibility for negligence. The position of occupational therapists employed by health care facilities, in relation to the liability of the employer and the practitioner are outlined. The points discussed are illustrated by cases from the British, Canadian and American Courts.
