Vaccination ,ICU ,COVID-19 ,Haematological malignancy ,Immunosuppression ,Medicine (General) ,R5-920 - Abstract
Summary: Background: The COVID-19 pandemic heightened risks for individuals with hematological malignancies due to compromised immune systems, leading to more severe outcomes and increased mortality. While interventions like vaccines, targeted antivirals, and monoclonal antibodies have been effective for the general population, their benefits for these patients may not be as pronounced. Methods: The EPICOVIDEHA registry (National Clinical Trials Identifier, NCT04733729) gathers COVID-19 data from hematological malignancy patients since the pandemic's start worldwide. It spans various global locations, allowing comprehensive analysis over the first three years (2020–2022). Findings: The EPICOVIDEHA registry collected data from January 2020 to December 2022, involving 8767 COVID-19 cases in hematological malignancy patients from 152 centers across 41 countries, with 42% being female. Over this period, there was a significant reduction in critical infections and an overall decrease in mortality from 29% to 4%. However, hospitalization, particularly in the ICU, remained associated with higher mortality rates. Factors contributing to increased mortality included age, multiple comorbidities, active malignancy at COVID-19 onset, pulmonary symptoms, and hospitalization. On the positive side, vaccination with one to two doses or three or more doses, as well as encountering COVID-19 in 2022, were associated with improved survival. Interpretation: Patients with hematological malignancies still face elevated risks, despite reductions in critical infections and overall mortality rates over time. Hospitalization, especially in ICUs, remains a significant concern. The study underscores the importance of vaccination and the timing of COVID-19 exposure in 2022 for enhanced survival in this patient group. Ongoing monitoring and targeted interventions are essential to support this vulnerable population, emphasizing the critical role of timely diagnosis and prompt treatment in preventing severe COVID-19 cases. Funding: Not applicable.

Background: Diagnosis of infection in advanced solid tumor patients can be challenging since signs and symptoms might be overlapping due to paraneoplastic condition. Delay diagnosis of existing infection can lead to more severe conditions and increased mortality. Procalcitonin (PCT) has been used to support the diagnosis of bacterial infection and sepsis. Unfortunately, PCT also increases in malignancy even without an infection. We investigated the diagnostic accuracy of PCT in advanced solid tumor patients with fever to diagnose sepsis. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in solid advanced tumor patients with fever patients who were admitted to Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospitals, Indonesia between June 2016 and April 2018. Sepsis was defined using 2001 SCCM/ESICM/ACCP/ATS/SIS International Sepsis Definitions Conference criteria. The diagnostic accuracy of PCT was determined using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results: A total of 194 subjects were enrolled in this study. 60.3% were female with a mean age of 49.47±12.87 years old. 143 patients (73.7%) with advanced solid tumors. Among this latter group, 39 patients (27%) were sepsis. The ROC curve showed that the levels of PCT for sepsis in advanced solid tumor patients with fever were in the area under the curve (AUC) 0.853 (95%CI 0.785 – 0.921). The Cut-off of PCT in advanced solid tumor patients with fever to classify as sepsis was 2.87 ng/mL, with a sensitivity of 79.5%, and a specificity of 79.8%. Conclusion:PCT has good diagnosis accuracy in advanced solid tumor patients with fever to classify as sepsis, however a higher cut-off compared to non-cancerous patients should be used.

Objectives: Elderly patients with hematologic malignancies face the highest risk of severe COVID-19 outcomes. The infection's impact on different age groups remains unstudied in detail. Methods: We analyzed elderly patients (age groups: 65-70, 71-75, 76-80, and >80 years old) with hematologic malignancies included in the EPICOVIDEHA registry between January 2020 and July 2022. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression models were conducted to identify factors influencing death in COVID-19 patients with hematological malignancy. Results: The study included data from 3,603 elderly patients (aged 65 or older) with hematological malignancy, with a majority being male (58.1%) and a significant proportion having comorbidities. The patients were divided into four age groups, and the analysis assessed COVID-19 outcomes, vaccination status, and other variables in relation to age and pandemic waves. The 90-day survival rate for patients with COVID-19 was 71.2%, with significant differences between groups. The pandemic waves had varying impacts, with the first wave affecting patients over 80 years old, the second being more severe in 65-70, and the third being the least severe in all age groups. Factors contributing to 90-day mortality included age, comorbidities, lymphopenia, active malignancy, acute leukemia, less than three vaccine doses, severe COVID-19, and using only corticosteroids as treatment. Conclusion: These data underscore the heterogeneity of elderly hematological patients, highlight the different impacts of COVID-19 waves and the pivotal importance of vaccination, and may help in planning future healthcare efforts.

Background Cytogenetics is a fundamental examination in the course and management of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) since it is widely used as a diagnostic and prognostic indicator for the disease. Some cytogenetic profiles are associated with a higher risk of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) transformation. This is the first study to evaluate the cytogenetic profile of Indonesian patients with MDS. Methods This prospective cohort study was conducted at the Cancer Center and several other referral hospitals. Patients with primary MDS aged >18 years were included in the study. Clinical examination, peripheral blood smear, and bone marrow aspiration were performed, followed by cytogenetic examination. The results were further categorized into revised international prognostic scoring system (IPSS-R) scores, and cytogenetic profiles were descriptively presented. Patients were followed up for one year to evaluate AML transformation. Results A total of 28 MDS patients, aged 66±12 years, were included in this study. The majority of the patients were male (n=17;60.7%), aged 65 years or above (n=19;67.9%), diagnosed with MDS-MLD (n=14;50%), and had an intermediate cytogenetic group (n=4;14.3%). The IPSS-R score was high in 6 (21.4%) patients and very high risk in 3 (10.7%) patients. During one-year follow-up, AML transformation occurred in 3 (10.7%) patients, and 10 (35.7%) patients ceased. Monosomy 7 was observed in 6 (21.4%) patients but in one metaphase each. Deletion of chromosome 5 (del(5)(q31)), del (16)(q21.1), and del (16)(q11.2) were found in a male patient with MDS-EB1. Conclusions Monosomy 7 and deletion of chromosome 5 have been identified in Indonesian patients with MDS. MDS-EB has the highest risk of AML transformation.

Key Clinical Message Optimized treatments for relapsed isolated CNS lymphoma (RI‐SCNSL) remains under investigation. Temozolomide combination‐based therapy, which is often used in glioblastoma may be used as potential treatment in RI‐SCNSL. Abstract One of the most common types of non‐Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Despite advances in treatment, relapsed isolated CNS lymphoma (RI‐SCNSL) from DLBCL remains an issue. The optimal approach in RI‐SCNSL remains an area of active investigation as currently there is no high level of evidence for the treatments due to lack of randomized studies. In this case report, we present a DLBCL patient with CNS recurrence treated radiotherapy and intrathecal methotrexate (MTX) followed by intravenous high‐dose MTX, rituximab, and temozolomide. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report describing RI‐SCNSL treated with the regiments above which also include temozolomide which is used for glioblastoma.

Prevalence of anemia in Indonesia based on Basic Health Research (2018) was 23.7%. Symptoms of iron deficiency anemia were pallor, malaise, palpitation, shortness of breath, headache, sore tongue. But sometimes can be found abnormal behavior in the form of PICA. This article reports on a-52-year-old man who sought medical treatment and was diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia with pica manifestation. The pica manifestation was characterized by a repeated desire to consume raw rice due to bleeding from hemorrhoids. Patient was given oral iron replacement therapy contain 100 mg of Fe (III) hydroxide polymaltose complex and folic acid 0.35 mg alternating with vitamin C 500 mg daily. Total iron daily dose given were 200 mg, divided in two doses. The patient received dietary education and was advised to consult a Gastroenterohepatology Subspecialist for the management of hemorrhoids, but it has not been done yet. The desire for raw rice consumption disappeared and the hemoglobin level increased to 12.4 g/dL after six weeks of therapy. The patient continued to take iron supplements until January 2023 but did not have follow-up visits to the clinic. In January 2023, the patient underwent hemorrhoid surgery due to bleeding accompanied by and a non-reducible lump that had been present for three days. Iron supplements continued for one month post-operation and then discontinued. The latest hemoglobin level was 15.3 g/dL without iron supplements. The symptoms of pica in this patient disappeared along with an increased hemoglobin level, and the management of severe anemia in this patient showed an adequate response. Bleeding has never occurred again after the surgery. Curative measures for hemorrhoidal bleeding are crucial, while iron supplementation is only a supportive therapy.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a significant contributor to cancer-related morbidity and mortality. Biopsy remains the gold standard for CRC diagnosis, but invasive testing may not be preferred as an initial diagnostic procedure. Therefore, alternative non-invasive approaches are needed. Circulating tumor cells (CTC) present in the bloodstream have great potential as a non-invasive diagnostic marker for CRC patients. This study aimed to assess the diagnostic potential of CTC in CRC as an adjunctive diagnostic method using a subjective manual identification method and laser capture microdissection at 40x magnification. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on adult patients suspected to have CRC at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital, Jakarta, between November 2020 and March 2021. CTC analysis was performed using the negative selection immunomagnetic method with Easysep™ and the CD44 mesenchymal tumor marker. The identification and quantification of CTC were conducted manually and subjectively, with three repetitions of cell counting per field of view at 40x magnification. Results: Of 80 subjects, 77.5% were diagnosed with CRC, while 7.5% and 15% exhibited adenomatous polyps and inflammatory/hyperplastic polyps, respectively. The diagnostic analysis of CTC for detecting CRC (compared to polyps) using a CTC cutoff point of >1.5 cells/mL suggested sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value (PPV) of 50%, 88.89%, and 93.94%. Additionally, the negative predictive value (NPV), as well as the positive and negative likelihood ratio (PLR and NLR) were 34.04%, 4.5, and 0.56, respectively. The subjective manual identification and quantification of CTC were performed at 40x magnification using laser capture microdissection. Conclusion: This study assessed the diagnostic potential of CTC examination in CRC as an adjunctive diagnostic method using the subjective manual identification method and laser capture microdissection at 40x magnification. Despite the limitations associated with subjective cell counting, the results showed 50% sensitivity and 88.89% specificity in diagnosing CRC. Further studies are needed to optimize the manual identification process and validate the clinical utility of CTC analysis in CRC patients.

Cancer is a complex group of diseases which arises from uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells in the body. The pathophysiology of cancer involves a sequence of events at the cellular and molecular levels, often initiated by genetic mutations or alterations. These mutations can be acquired due to various factors like environmental exposures such as from carcinogens, lifestyle choices, or inherited genetic conditions. When a cell’s DNA is damaged or mutated, it can disrupt the normal regulatory mechanisms that control cell division and apoptosis, leading to uncontrolled proliferation and cancer. the intricate interplay between genetic mutations, angiogenesis, hematogenic spread, CTCs, immune cells, and systemic cancer therapy defines the complex landscape of cancer progression and treatment. Understanding the role of immune cells, particularly Tregs marked by FOXP3, as prognostic markers in various cancers, alongside advancements in cancer diagnosis involving CTCs, holds promise in understanding cancer prognosis and improving cancer management. Moreover, ongoing research into alleviating chemotherapy-induced side effects, like HFS offer avenues for improving patient care and treatment outcomes in cancer management.

Objectives One of the treatment modalities that can be used for hyperleukocytosis is leukapheresis. However, the result of studies showing the benefit of early mortality through the use of leukapheresis versus no leukapheresis is still inconclusive. Hence, we aimed to conduct a systematic review with meta-analysis to determine the effect of leukapheresis on early mortality in AML patients with hyperleukocytosis. Methods We conducted a literature search on five databases (PubMed, EBSCOhost, Scopus, Clinicalkey, and JSTOR) up to October 2021 for studies comparing early mortality outcomes between hyperleukocytosis AML patients treated with leukapheresis versus no leukapheresis. Summary odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using random-effects models. Heterogeneity tests were presented in I2 value and publication bias was analyzed using a funnel plot. Results Eleven retrospective cohort studies were eligible based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Pooled analysis showed that there was no significant difference in early mortality between patients receiving leukapheresis and not receiving leukapheresis in studies using hyperleukocytosis cutoff of 95,000/mm3 or 100,000/mm3 (OR: 1.17; 95% CI: 0.74-1.86; p: 0.50; I2: 0%). Similarly, studies using hyperleukocytosis cutoff of 50,000/mm3 also showed no benefits of early mortality (OR: 0.67; 95% CI: 0.43-1.05; p: 0.08; I2: 0%). Most of the studies used had a moderate risk of bias due to being observational studies. Funnel plot showed an indication of publication bias on studies using hyperleukocytosis cutoff of ≥50,000/mm3. Conclusion The use of leukapheresis does not provide early mortality benefit in adult AML patients with hyperleukocytosis.

Background: The diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) in patients with HIV remains a challenge for clinicians. The World Health Organization recommends the detection of lipoarabinomannan (LAM) for diagnosing pulmonary tuberculosis in patients with HIV. A new generation of urine LAM tests (FujiLAM®) is available. However, studies regarding its accuracy are limited. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of urine LAM tests using FujiLAM® for diagnosing EPTB in patients with HIV. Methods: A cross-sectional study using urine samples of patients at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Indonesia, was performed from January 2020 to December 2020. Fresh urine was applied to the FujiLAM®. Patients were grouped into definitive, probable, and non-TB groups. The diagnostic accuracy of the urine LAM test was compared with other Mycobacterium tuberculosis specimen gold standard tests. Results: Among 62 patients, 16 patients (25.8%) had definitive diagnosis of EPTB. Among those with definitive TB, an urine LAM test yielded a sensitivity of 75% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 47.62-92.73%) and specificity of 73.91% (95% CI: 87-85.73%). Meanwhile, compared with all diagnostic tests (definite + probable TB), FujiLAM® had a sensitivity value of 61% (95% CI 43.36-76.86%) and a specificity value of 92.31% (95% CI 74.87-99.05%). Conclusion: The FujiLAM® test is a feasible method for diagnosing EPTB in patients with HIV.

Background: Kidney transplantation is currently the best choice for renal replacement therapy, due to its effect in reducing mortality and improving the quality of life (QoL) of patients with end-stage renal disease. This study aimed to identify factors affecting QoL after kidney transplantation. Methods: We conducted a cross sectional study by recruiting patients who had kidney transplantation at Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia, from 2018 – 2020. QoL was assessed using the 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) questionnaire. We evaluated age, sex, body mass index, hemoglobin level, estimated glomerular filtration rate, duration of dialysis before transplantation, history of diabetes, depression, and performance status as factors associated with QoL score. Results: We involved 107 subjects in our study. Depression, hemoglobin level, ECOG performance status, and duration of dialysis were factors affecting the physical component score (R2=0.21). Depression and hemoglobin level were factors affecting the mental component score (R2=0.34 ). Depression, hemoglobin level, and ECOG performance status were factors contributed to the total QoL score (R2=0.41). Conclusion: Factors that contributed to QoL status were depression, ECOG performance status, and hemoglobin levels. This study supported the need for assessment of QoL on regular basis, psychological aspects including depression, as well as other factors that can affect QoL such as performance status and hemoglobin level in patients before and after kidney transplantations.

Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has spread globally becoming a pandemic. The clinical manifestations of COVID-19 vary from asymptomatic to symptomatic disease. Hematologic manifestation which is commonly found in COVID-19 patients is thrombocytopenia whereas thrombocytosis is rarely reported. Case Presentation: We report a case of a 55-year-old woman with one week history of fever which spike along the day, dry cough, anosmia, nausea, epigastric pain and loss of appetite. She lived in local transmission area. The patient was diagnosed as mild suspected COVID-19 and confirmed with nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swab test (positive result). On admission, the number of platelet count was within normal limit but progressively increased exceeding 1000 x109/L accompanied by worsening of the clinical condition. Interestingly, to our knowledge, no such case has ever been reported. In this study, we will discuss the possible mechanisms of its changes. Conclusions: COVID-19 can present with extreme thrombocytosis. Thus, monitoring the platelet count during hospitalization can be helpful for anticipating worsening conditions and progression of COVID-19.

Medicine - Abstract
Introduction. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a widespread condition that can affect individuals of all ages. Most cases of CMV infection are mild and resolve on their own. However, in immunocompromised individuals, such as post-transplant patients or those with cancer, severe infections can occur. While there have been several studies on CMV infection in post-transplant patients, there is limited literature on CMV infection in cancer, particularly in kidney cancer. Case Report. In this case report, we present the case of a 61-year-old man with clear cell renal cell carcinoma who underwent targeted therapy with the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitor lenvatinib and the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor everolimus. The patient was hospitalized for 26 days and admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) due to shortness of breath, decreased oxygen saturation, and irregular breathing. Cytomegalovirus polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test results were positive. Given the high prevalence of CMV infection in developing countries, it is likely that the patient had a reactivation of CMV. As such, the patient was subsequently treated with ganciclovir for 14 days and showed improvement in symptoms such as shortness of breath, cough, fever, and increased oxygen saturation. Following recovery, the patient received maintenance therapy with oral valganciclovir for 7 days. No further symptoms appeared during subsequent cancer treatments. Conclusion. Cancer patients who are undergoing treatment are at a higher risk for developing opportunistic infections, which can result in morbidity and mortality. Therefore, healthcare professionals should be aware of the possibility of CMV infection in cancer patients and be prepared to diagnose and treat the infection, particularly in areas where the prevalence of CMV infection is high.

Background: Sarcopenia is associated with worse outcomes in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Differences in criteria and methods used to diagnose sarcopenia, results in a wide range of prevalence. Factors associated with sarcopenia in MHD have not been well-studied. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and factors associated with sarcopenia in the MHD population. Methods: Observational cross-sectional study was done with 96 MHD patients aged ≥18 years old, with dialysis vintage ≥120 days at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital March-May 2022. Descriptive, bivariate, and logistic regression analysis were done to find sarcopenia’s prevalence and association with Simplify Creatinine Index (SCI), type 2 diabetes (DM), Interleukin-6 (IL-6), nutritional status, physical activity, and phosphate serum level. Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) 2019 criteria used to diagnose sarcopenia, Hand Grip Strength (HGS) to identify muscle strength, Bioimpedance Spectroscopy (BIS) to calculate muscle mass, and 6-meter walk test to evaluate physical performance. Results: The prevalence of sarcopenia was 54.2%. Factors with a significant association in bivariate analysis were phosphate serum level (p=0.008), SCI (p=0.005) and low physical activity (International Physical Activity Questionnaire) (p-0.006). Logistic regression analysis found higher phosphate serum level and high physical activity protective of sarcopenia (OR 0.677;CI95% 0.493-0.93 and OR 0.313;CI95% 0.130-0.755 respectively). Conclusion: The prevalence of sarcopenia in the MHD population was 54.2%. Phosphate serum level, SCI, and physical activity were significantly correlated with sarcopenia. Both high phosphate level and high physical activity were protective against sarcopenia.

Background: Arteriovenous fistula (FAV) is the most widely used vascular access for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing routine hemodialysis in Indonesia. However, FAV can become dysfunctional before it is used for the initiation of hemodialysis, a condition known as primary failure. Clopidogrel is an anti-platelet aggregation that has been reported to reduce the incidence of primary failure in FAV compared to other anti-platelet aggregation agents. Through this systematic review, we aimed to assess the role of clopidogrel to the incidence of primary FAV failure and the risk of bleeding in ESRD patients. Methods: A literature search was carried out to obtain randomized Control Trial studies conducted since 1987 from Medline / Pubmed, EbscoHost, Embase, Proquest, Scopus, and Cochrane Central without language restrictions. Risk of bias assessment was performed with the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 application. Results: All of the three studies involved indicated the benefit of clopidogrel for the prevention of AVF primary failure. However, all of the studies have substantial differences. Abacilar’s study included only participants with diabetes mellitus. This study also administered a combination of clopidogrel 75 mg and prostacyclin 200 mg/day, while Dember’s study gave an initial dose of clopidogrel 300 mg followed by daily dose 75 mg and Ghorbani’s study only gave clopidogrel 75 mg/day. Ghorbani and Abacilar started the intervention 7-10 days before AVF creation, while Dember started 1 day after VAF creation. Dember gave treatment for 6 weeks with an assessment of primary failure at the end of week 6, Ghorbani’s treatment lasted for 6 weeks with an assessment at week 8, while Abacilar gave treatment for one year with an assessment at weeks 4 after AVF creation. In addition, the prevalence of bleeding did not differ between the treatment and control groups. Conclusion: Clopidogrel can reduce the incidence of primary FAV failure without significant increase of bleeding events.

BackgroundObesity is a traditional risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, recent studies reported that metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO) exerts a higher risk of developing T2DM than metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) because of its higher state of insulin resistance. This may happen due to metabolic endotoxemia through gut dysbiosis and increased intestinal permeability. Our study aimed to know the association of intestinal permeability using intestinal fatty acid-binding protein (I-FABP) with obesity-related T2DM patients in Indonesia.MethodsThis was a cross-sectional study that recruited 63 participants with obesity defined using body mass index (BMI) classification for the Asia-Pacific population (BMI ≥25 kg/m2). All participants were then grouped into T2DM and non-T2DM based on American Diabetes Association (ADA) diagnostic criteria. The I-FABP levels were measured using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method.ResultsThe I-FABP level of T2DM group was higher compared to non-T2DM group, namely 2.82 (1.23) ng/mL vs. 1.78 (0.81) ng/mL (pConclusionsThis study underscores the association of intestinal permeability with T2DM in people with obesity and supports the evidence of the potential role of intestinal permeability in the pathogenesis of obesity-related T2DM.

Background: The diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is mainly based on blood count, morphology, and immunophenotyping. In Indonesia, the diagnosis is more challenging as the availability of immunophenotyping tests is limited. The European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) stated flowcytometry as a prerequisite to establishing diagnosis of CLL, meanwhile in the original International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (iwCLL) 2018 criteria, which has been widely accepted by physicians caring for patients with CLL, the diagnosis of CLL can be made in patients with cytopenia using bone marrow biopsy where flowcytometry test is not available. The aim of the study was to compare the utility of International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia 2018 [iwCLL 2018 (2)] compared with National Cancer Institute Working Group 96 (NCI-WG96) criteria in the diagnosis of CLL in Indonesia, especially in limited resource settings. Methods: The data of newly diagnosed CLL patients, including baseline demographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics was retrieved retrospectively from medical records in Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital from 2015 until 2021. Diagnosis of CLL using iwCLL 2018 diagnostic criteria were then compared with National Cancer Institute Working Group 96 (NCI-WG96) criteria. Results: Thirty-eight patients were enrolled to this study. The median age was 59.5 years and dominated by males. Most of them were classified in the late-stage disease (63.4% in Binet C and about 70% in Rai III-IV). Four cases were CD5-negative CLL. Based on NCI-WG96 guideline, only 24 patients (63.2%) fulfilled all four criteria for CLL. Similarly, using the iwCLL 2018 flowcytometric criteria without biopsy data, 26 patients (68%) were diagnosed as CLL. However, if bone marrow biopsy in patient with cytopenia was taken into account, all patients (100%) can be confirmed as CLL. Conclusion: The iwCLL 2018 criteria which included bone marrow biopsy in the presence of cytopenia was more applicable to establish the diagnosis of CLL in Indonesia where flowcytometry is not available.

Patient populations, including those with hematological malignancies, have different responses to COVID-19 vaccines. This study aimed to quantitatively analyze the efficacy and safety of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines in patients with hematological malignancies. Studies reporting on the efficacy and safety of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines in cohorts with hematological malignancies compared to healthy controls were systematically searched in four databases. Meta-analysis and subgroup analyses were performed to generate quantitative synthesis. Fifteen studies with 2,055 cohorts with hematological malignancies and 1,105 healthy subjects as control were included. After two doses of COVID-19 vaccination, only 60% of cohorts with hematological malignancies were seroconverted compared to healthy controls (RR 0.60; 95%CI 0.50–0.71). A single dose of the vaccine resulted in a significantly lower seroconversion rate (RR 0.30; 95%CI 0.16–0.54). Non-Hodgkin lymphoma cohorts had the lowest rate of seroconversion (RR 0.5; 95%CI 0.35–0.71) and those who received active treatments had lower immunological responses (RR 0.59; 95%CI 0.46–0.75). Antibody titers were lower in cohorts with hematological malignancies without any differences in adverse effects in both groups. In conclusion, cohorts with hematological malignancies showed a lower seroconversion rate and antibody titers after receiving COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. The type of malignancy and the status of treatment had a significant impact on the response to vaccination. The vaccines were shown to be safe for both patients with hematological malignancies and healthy controls. Booster doses and stricter health protocols might be beneficial for patient populations.

Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by the presence of the Philadelphia chromosome and BCR-ABL fusion oncogene. CML is one of the illnesses that may be treated using Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs), a type of targeted therapy. Since TKIs are the standard of therapy, long-term survival of CML has improved compared to chemotherapy and interferon-alpha. For the first-line treatment for CML, there are four commercially available TKIs that serve as an integral part of the disease management. However, there are many challenges in diagnosing, treating, and monitoring patients with chronic phase CML in Indonesia. This study highlights the epidemiology data of chronic phase CML patients, particularly at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital, an Indonesian national referral hospital, and how to diagnose, select first-line TKIs, and monitor the response of treatment after TKIs administration.

Background: The 7+3 regimen is still the main choice of remission induction chemotherapy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Successfully achieving complete remission (CR) and the time required to achieve it determine patient’s survival. Hence, bone marrow examination on 14th day of chemotherapy is recommended to predict CR. However, the examination is invasive and still inaccurate. Methods: A prognostic study with retrospective cohort design was conducted at two central hospitals in Indonesia based on medical record data of AML patients who underwent 7+3 induction chemotherapy from January 1st, 2015, to December 31st, 2019. The association of nadir leukocyte level and the time required to achieve it with CR occurrence was assessed. Results: One hundred and one subjects were recruited with median age 39 years and 55% men. A total of 55.4% subjects achieved CR. Nadir leukocyte level below 200/mcl was the most optimal cut-off point and independently associated with CR (OR 2.48; 95% CI 1.03–5.97) while time required to achieve it was not. Conclusions: The nadir leukocyte level is associated with an increase probability of CR but not for the time required to achieve it in AML patients undergoing 7+3 induction chemotherapy.

Abstract Background Readmission is related to high cost, high burden, and high risk for mortality in geriatric patients. A scoring system can be developed to predict the readmission of older inpatients to perform earlier interventions and prevent readmission. Methods We followed prospectively inpatients aged 60 years and older for 30 days, with initial comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) on admission in a tertiary referral centre. Patients were assessed with CGA tools consisting of FRAIL scale (fatigue, resistance, ambulation, illness, loss of weight), the 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale, Mini Nutritional Assessment short-form (MNA-SF), the Barthel index for activities of daily living (ADL), Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), caregiver burden based on 4-item Zarit Burden Index (ZBI), and cognitive problem with Abbreviated Mental Test (AMT). Demographic data, malignancy diagnosis, and number of drugs were also recorded. We excluded data of deceased patients and patients transferred to other hospitals. We conducted stepwise multivariate regression analysis to develop the scoring system. Results Thirty-day unplanned readmission rate was 37.6 %. Among 266 patients, 64.7 % of them were malnourished, and 46.5 % of them were readmitted. About 24 % were at risk for depression or having depressed mood, and 53.1 % of them were readmitted. In multivariate analysis, nutritional status (OR 2.152, 95 %CI 1.151–4.024), depression status (OR 1.884, 95 %CI 1.071–3.314), malignancy (OR 1.863 95 %CI 1.005–3.451), and functional status (OR 1.584, 95 %CI 0.885–2.835) were included in derivation of 7 score system. The scoring system had maximum score of 7 and incorporated malnutrition (2 points), depression (2 points), malignancy (2 points), and dependent functional status (1 point). A score of 3 or higher suggested 82 % probability of readmission within 30 days following discharge. Area under the curve (AUC) was 0.694 (p = 0.001). Conclusions Malnutrition, depression, malignancy and functional problem are predictors for 30-day readmission. A practical CGA-based 7 scoring system had moderate accuracy and strong calibration in predicting 30-day unplanned readmission for older patients.

Background: Milk consumption in the Indonesian elderly population is among the lowest in the world, and two-thirds of the population are lactose intolerant. This might have an impact on energy and nutrient intakes. However, data on the prevalence of nutrient intake inadequacies in dairy users versus non-dairy users, as well as population characteristics, are lacking. Therefore we obtained data comparing nutritional inadequacies and characteristics of Indonesian older adults consuming or refraining from dairy products. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2021 as a part of the INA LACTASE study, involving 194 community-dwelling older adults in the outpatient geriatric clinic at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia. We collected data on demographic and clinical characteristics as part of a routinely performed comprehensive geriatric assessment. A structured questionnaire was developed to categorize participants as dairy-or non-dairy users based on habitual dairy intake. Food records were collected to assess nutrient intakes. The prevalence of inadequacies of energy, macronutrients, and a selection of micronutrients (calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin B12) was calculated by comparing the reported mean intakes to the recommended dietary intakes of the Indonesian population (Indonesian RDA). Prevalence ratios were calculated to measure the association between dairy product consumption and the prevalence of nutrient inadequacies. Results: We recruited 194 eligible participants. This study found that dairy users had a higher proportion of women, a higher monthly income, but a lower proportion of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidaemia in older adults consuming dairy products. We observed wide variability in energy and nutrient intakes, as well as a high prevalence of inadequacies for all dietary intake parameters, particularly micronutrients. Dairy users had a lower prevalence of micronutrient inadequacies than non-dairy users. The prevalence of vitamin D inadequacies in dairy users versus non-dairy users was 91.6% vs. 99.3% in men and 71.9% vs. 98.0% in women, respectively. Inadequate vitamin B12 intake was found in 60.6% of dairy users vs. 89.4% of non-dairy users in men and 65.5% vs.. 68.4% of women, respectively. The most pronounced difference was found in the prevalence of calcium intake inadequacies in dairy users vs. non-dairy users, which was 64.8% vs. 99.5% in men and 89.9% vs. 99.8% in women. We found statistically significant differences in the prevalence of calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin B inadequacies between dairy and non-dairy users. Conclusion: This study identified that dairy users had a higher monthly income and had a lower proportion of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia. In addition, we discovered a high prevalence of nutrient intakes inadequacies in Indonesian older adults, particularly among non-dairy users. Micronutrient inadequacies are major sources of concern, with statistically significant difference in calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin B12 prevalence of inadequacies.

Background: R-CHOP/R-CVP is the only recommended first-line treatment for Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL). Limited treatment alternatives often lead to relapse and refractory NHL, which increases disease progressivity and worsens prognosis. Bendamustine-rituximab is being studied for its potential as a superior first-line therapy for indolent NHL and mantle-cell NHL (MCL); however, it is not in the national guidelines. Evidence-based research is needed to demonstrate the effectivity of bendamustine-rituximab compared to R-CHOP/R-CVP for a complete response of indolent NHL and MCL. Methods: A literature search was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, EBSCOHost, and Cochrane. Studies consistent with clinical question and eligibility criteria were included and critically appraised using the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine (CEBM) tool. Results: Two randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included in this study, both concluding that bendamustine-rituximab is superior to R-CHOP/R-CVP with a complete response, with RR values of 0.90 (95% CI 0.80 – 1.01) and 0.86 (95% CI 0.76 – 0.98). Conclusion: Bendamustine-rituximab is more effective than R-CHOP/R-CVP as a first-line treatment of indolent NHL or MCL.

Introduction. The complete hematologic response is an integral part to achieve the complete cytogenetic response target and the major molecular response of imatinib mesylate therapy, although it does not determine the prognosis. The complete hematologic response in Indonesia is lower than in the world (74% vs. 95%). Sixty percent of chronic myeloid leukemia patients in Indonesia were administered hydroxyurea before imatinib mesylate. Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) patients in Indonesia are younger than in other countries. This study aimed to determine what prognostic factors which affect the complete hematological response of chronic phase CML patients who received imatinib mesylate in Indonesia. Methods. The study was done by retrospective cohort design using the medical records data of chronic myeloid leukemia patients who were treated at Teratai Clinic and hematology clinic RSCM and received imatinib mesylate therapy from January 2004-December 2011. Results. Most of the study subjects were male (61.5%), aged 26-40 years (47.4%), duration of diagnosis

Background: Entrustable professional activities (EPAs) are tasks entrusted to students who assist supervisors in determining their competencies. However, the competencies required and the end-educational stage in which each EPA item is assigned have yet to be determined by the stakeholders of internal medicine residency programs in Indonesia. This study aimed to identify and determine the activities in internal medicine residency programs which could be defined as EPAs in the competency-based curriculum of Indonesian internal medicine residency programs. Methods: A literature review was conducted to identify activities which could be examined as EPA items in Indonesian internal medicine residency programs, which were then validated by 10 educational experts. Two rounds of the Delphi method were conducted with participants consisting of the Indonesian Board of Internal Medicine professionals, residency program directors, internal medicine specialists, and internal medicine residents to evaluate the importance of the identified EPA items. The EPA items were rated on a Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5, and their variances were analyzed. The participants also rated the end-educational stage appropriate for each EPA item. The effect size was calculated between groups as (1) small, 0.8. Results: The literature review identified 29 modified items from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons (RCPS) and three items from other academically developed EPA designs. The expert discussion resulted in the validation of 28 EPA items (out of the 32 items in the initial EPA draft). All 28 items were accepted after two rounds of the Delphi method, and a decrease in their variances was found. Conclusion: This study formulated 28 EPA items for Indonesian internal medicine residency programs. Further collaboration between the Board of Internal Medicine and residency program directors will be needed for the application of these EPA items at each residency year.

Background: Extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is rare but fatal. Patients who come are usually already in the advanced stage that can not undergo curative resection and chemotherapy also seems to be very rarely done. The survival rate and its associated factors in Indonesia are unknown. This study aimed to identify 1-year survival of patients with extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma without curative resection and palliative chemotherapy and its associated factors. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study using medical records of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (perihilar and distal) inpatient and outpatient patients at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta from January 2015 to March 2020, reviewed retrospectively. The following factors were analyzed in terms of mortality: metastasis, sepsis, hypoalbuminemia, serum bilirubin level, serum CA 19-9 level, billiary drainage, neutrophyl lympocyte ratio (NLR) and comorbid factors. Results: 115 out of 144 patients were enrolled in this study with male proportion of 50.4%, and proportion of patients aged 65 years or above was 71.3%. 1 year survival rate was 10 % and median survival was 3 months (CI 95% 2.388-3.612)Multivariate analysis showed that only sepsis, unsuccessful or no prior biliary drainage and total bilirubin >19.8 mg/dl were independent predictors of mortality. Conclusion: 1 year survival of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma without curative resection and paliative chemotherapy was 10 %.Sepsis, unsuccessful or no prior bilirary drainage, and total biirubin >19.8 mg/dl are factors significantly associated with shortened survival in malignant obstructive jaundice patients.

Polycythemia or erythrocytosis is an increase in the number of red blood cells in circulation marked by the increase in hematocrit. Polycythemia is a case that still raises questions and dilemma for doctors. In this paper, it will be discussed about the diagnostic approach and management of polycythemia. The initial complaints of polycythemia are generally nonspecific, such as weakness and dizziness due to blood hyperviscosity. It is also essential to know accompanying diseases, routine medications, habits, and family histories of the patients. Patients with polycythemia commonly exhibit plethora. In vital sign examination, hypertension can be found in polycythemia vera. In general examination, we should look for signs that lead to secondary polycythemia, such as low oxygen saturation that can be found in secondary polycythemia. Initial workup that should be done is a complete blood count. Ferritin and transferrin saturation are evaluated to assess the iron status that can disguise the incidence of polycythemia, especially when the image of the blood smear indicates a microcytic hyperchromic. Advanced work up that can be done is genetic examination. In the case of polycythemia vera, the primary purpose of treatment is to prevent thrombotic events. In the case of secondary polycythemia, the aim of management is to identify the underlying disease and treat it, which one of them is phlebotomy.

Introduction. Patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) had an increased risk for depression up to 1.53 times from a large cohort study. Studies have found an increase in the neutrophil - lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in various mood disorders including depression, also the value of the platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) associated with major depression accompanied by psychotic symptoms. This study aimed to describe the peripheral blood characteristics, NLR, and PLR in pulmonary TB patients with depression. Methods. A cross-sectional study of 106 non-multidrug-resistant pulmonary TB patients was done at outpatient department of Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital, Jakarta from August to October 2018. The diagnosis of depression was made by interview according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder-V (DSM-V) criteria, and severity of depression is determined using Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II). The laboratory tests were done to obtain complete peripheral blood results, NLR, and TLR. Parametric test was used for numeric variables with even distribution, and nonparametric test for variables with uneven distribution. Results. From 106 patients with non-multidrug-resistant pulmonary TB, the proportion of depression was 32%. White blood cell count (p=0.024), and absolute lymphocte count (p=0.004) is lower in depressed TB patients compared to nondepressed TB patients. There were no significant relationship between NLR and TLR and the severity of depression in depressed pulmonary TB patients (p>0.05). Conclusion. White blood cell count and absolute lymphocyte count are lower in depressed pulmonary TB patients. Meanwhile, RNL and PLR are higher in depressed pulmonary TB patients eventhough not statistically significant.

Introduction. Health care workers (HCW) have a high risk of infectious substance exposure. Hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are some diseases transmitted by body fluid or body tissue. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital Jakarta has been implementing post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP)s towards HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. This study aimed to identify the implementation of post-exposure prophylaxis of HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C among HCW in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital Jakarta. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted to exposed workers in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital Jakarta between 2014-2016 who had been recorded by report. Demographic data were collected through medical record and interview was conducted to gather additional data. Statistical analysis was conducted with SPSS 20. Results. Among 196 reports, most HCW were female (69.9%), worked as nurse (38.3%), medical doctor (49.5%), and exposed percutaneously (93.4%). There were 183 risky exposures, with 19 (10.4%) reactive anti-HIV, 11 (6.0%) positive HBsAg, and 12 (6.6%) reactive anti-HCV in source of exposure. Almost all of the HCW has no HIV, hepatitis B, nor hepatitis C at the moment of exposure. Recommendation for antiretroviral (ARV) was given to 81 HCW, but only 49.4% completed the course. Anti-HIV follow up was done only by 21.3% workers. Recommendation of PEP for hepatitis B was given to 37 HCW. But, only 13.5% and 13.3% receive hepatitis B vaccination and hepatitis B immunoglobulin, respectively. Follow-up of HBsAg and anti-HBs on 3rd and 6th months were done by 41 (31.1%), 38 (28.8%), and 2 (1.5%) workers who were recommended to receive prophylaxis. In 182 workers recommended to do the follow-up of anti-HCV, 39 (21.4%), and 37 (20.3%) workers did the follow-up on 3rd and 6th month. Majority of exposed workers were not re-evaluated for HBsAg (64.9%) and anti-HCV (69.9%). Conclusions. The implementation of post-exposure prophylaxis for HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C was still low especially in re-evaluation serologic marker. Comprehensive management is recommended including improving knowledge of health care workers, re-evaluation of operational procedure standard, and effective communication.

Background: Dysbiosis of the gut microbiota has been considered to have a role in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) progression. However, there is still lack of studies regarding this phenomenon. Aim: To find the difference in the proportion of gut microbiota in NAFLD patients based on the stages of liver fibrosis. Patients and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, which is the largest tertiary referral center. Human fecal samples from NAFLD patients who came to the outpatient clinic were collected consecutively. The stool sample examination was performed using an isolation DNA kit (Tiangen) and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (Fast 7500). Clinical and laboratory data were also collected. The stage of fibrosis was diagnosed based on transient elastography (FibroScan® 502 Touch; Echosens, France). Results: Of 60 NAFLD human fecal samples, 35 patients had nonsignificant fibrosis and 25 patients had significant fibrosis (46.7% male and 53.3% female; median age 56 years). Most patients had diabetes (85%), dyslipidemia (58.3%), obesity (58.3%), and central obesity (90%). The proportion of Bacteroides was higher when compared to Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria. Of these 3 microbiota, the proportion of Bacteroides was significantly higher in the significant fibrosis group when compared to the nonsignificant fibrosis group. Conclusion: There is a change in the composition of gut microbiota in NAFLD patients. The proportion of Bacteroides is significantly higher in significant liver fibrosis, which may play a role in NAFLD progression.

Patients with undernutrition at admission have higher risks to worsen their nutritional status, which is linked to an increase in morbidity and mortality. This study investigated the prevalence of undernutrition at admission and its associated factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted on patients aged 18 to 59 years old in Internal Medicine ward at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia, between July and September 2019. Factors that might be associated with undernutrition at admission, such as age, sex, marital status, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) and type of comorbidity, depression, and neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR), were assessed. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were used to determine the associated factors. Sixty hospitalized patients with median age of 42 years and 76.7% with married status joined the study. The most common reason for hospitalization was acute gastrointestinal disease with gallstones as the most common comorbidity. Undernutrition exists in 26.7% of subjects. High CCI score was observed among 11.7% subjects and half of subjects had NLR category ≥5. Bivariate analysis revealed that unmarried status, age ≥40 years, and malignancy were associated with undernutrition at admission. Logistic regression analysis showed malignancy as an independent predictor of undernutrition during the initial hospital admission (odds ratio [OR] = 11.8; 95% confidence interval [CI]: [1.1, 125.7]). The prevalence of undernutrition at admission was 26.7%. Factors associated with an increased prevalence of undernutrition at admission were age

Objective This study will test the performance of the anal swab PCR test when compared with the nasopharyngeal swab PCR test as a diagnostic tool for COVID-19.Design An observational descriptive study which included hospitalised suspected, or probable cases of hopitalised COVID-19 patients, conducted in Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National Hospital, Ciputra Hospital, Mitra Keluarga Depok Hospital and Mitra Keluarga Kelapa Gading Hospital, Indonesia. Epidemiological, clinical, laboratory and radiology data were obtained. Nasopharyngeal and anal swabs specimens were collected for SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection.Results We analysed 136 subjects as part of this study. The clinical spectrum of COVID-19 manifesation in this study was typical of hospitalised patients, with 25% classified as mild cases, 14.7% in severe condition and 12.5% of subjects classified as having acute respiratory distress syndrome. When compared with nasopharyngeal swab as the standard specimen for reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) detection of SARS-CoV-2 antigen, the sensitivity and specificity of the anal swab was 36.7% and 93.8%, respectively. The positive and negative predictive value were 97.8% and 16.5 %, respectively. The performance of the anal swab remained similar when only the subgroup of patients with gastrointestinal symptoms (n=92, 67.6%) was analysed (sensitivity 40% and specificity 91.7%). Out of all the subjects included in analysis, 67.6% had gastrointestinal symptoms. Similarly, 73.3% of patients in the anal swab-positive group had gastrointestinal symptoms. The two most common gastrointestinal symptoms in the subjects’ population were nausea and anorexia.Conclusion Anal swab specimen has low sensitivity (36.7%) but high specificity (93.8%) for detecting SARS-CoV-2 antigen by RT-PCR. Only one additional positive result was found by anal swab among the nasopharyngeal swab-negative group. Anal swab may not be needed as an additional test at the beginning of a patient’s diagnostic investigation and nasopharyngeal swab RT-PCR remains as the standard diagnostic test for COVID-19.

Medicine - Abstract
Background. Acquired hemophilia A (AHA) is a potentially life-threatening autoimmune hemostatic disorder where autoantibodies that disrupt the functions of factor VIII (FVIII) are present in the circulation. The early diagnosis of AHA is difficult since the symptoms of AHA differ from those of congenital hemophilia A. Furthermore, the management of AHA is also more complex due to the presence of autoantibodies against FVIII (FVIII inhibitors). Here, we present three case reports and conduct a literature review of AHA with the aim to increase awareness and knowledge regarding the diagnosis and treatment of AHA. Case Presentations. We present three patients diagnosed with AHA in these case reports. The first patient was a young female, while the second and third patients were middle-aged and elderly males, respectively. All patients presented with a chief complaint of bruises without hemarthrosis and a history of bleeding. Laboratory examinations of the patients revealed isolated prolonged aPTT, normal PT, and the presence of autoantibodies against factor VIII, which are characteristics of AHA. Patients were then treated with corticosteroids to reduce the titer level of autoantibodies and received factor VIII transfusion to stop bleeding. Conclusion. AHA can be suspected in patients presenting with symptoms of bruises without hemarthrosis and without the history of bleeding. Isolated aPTT elevation with normal PT should raise high suspicion of AHA. The presence of FVIII inhibitors can help to confirm the diagnosis of AHA. Treatment consists of factor VIII transfusion and corticosteroid therapy. Bypassing agents are recommended as an alternative to FVIII transfusion.

Background: new-onset atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a common postoperative complication. This arrhytmia considered as temporary phenomenon which the majority are converted back to sinus rhytm when the patients discharged from the hospital. Despite its transience, those arrhytmia can recur and increasing the long term mortality. This study aims to determine the role of new-onset atrial fibrillation after CABG in three year survival. Methods: retrospective cohort study using survival analysis of patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting since January 2012 to December 2015 at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital. Patients with atrial fibrillation before surgery, who had surgery without cardiopulmonary bypass machine, and who died in 30 days after surgery are excluded. Subjects are divided into two category based of the presence of new-onset atrial fibrillation after CABG and the mortality status is followed up until 3 years post-surgery. The Kaplan-Meier curve is used to determine the three-year survival of the patients who had new-onset atrial fibrillation after CABG and Cox regression test used as multivariate analysis with confounding variables in order to get adjusted hazard ratio (HR). Results: new-onset atrial fibrillation after-CABG occurred in 29,59% patients. Patients with new-onset atrial fibrillation after CABG have higher three-year mortality (15,52% vs 3,62%) and significantly decreases three-year survival (p=0,008; HR 4,42; 95% CI 1,49-13,2). In multivariate analysis, new-onset atrial fibrillation after CABG is an independent factor of the three-year survival decline (adjusted HR 4,04; 95% CI; 1,34-12,14). Conclusion: new-onset atrial fibrillation after CABG independently decreases three-year survival.

Background: non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer. Therefore, research into its prognostic factor is very important for better patient management. However, there have been no studies looking for the association of CYFRA 21-1 and CEA with survival of NSCLC in Indonesia, and no cut-off value for them as standardized prognostic factors. This study aims to know the association of CEA and CYFRA 21-1 with one-year survival of advanced stage NSCLC in RSCM and determining their cut-off point as a prognostic factor. Methods: a retrospective cohort study of 111 subjects with advanced stage NSCLC aged > 18 years who were diagnosed from January 2012 to May 2018, resulted in a set of data which includes an initial score of CEA and CYFRA 21-1 at diagnosis, along with their confounding factors, namely performance status (PS), type of histology, therapy, and stadium. All data were taken from the RSCM Medical Record Unit. Results: the CEA area under the curve (AUC) was less than 50% (AUC=0.446) and not significant, whereas AUC CYFRA 21-1=0.741 (0.636–0.847) with p 10.9 ng / mL with a sensitivity of 69.5% and specificity of 65.5%. The variables that met the proportional hazard assumption were CYFRA 21-1, PS, histology, and therapy. CYFRA 21-1 > 10.9 ng/mL had HR 1.744 (HR=1.744; p=0.028); ECOG 3-4 PS had HR 2.434 (HR=2.434; p=0.026); non-adenocarcinoma histology had HR 1.929 (HR=1.929; p=0.029); and the non-chemotherapy group had HR 2.633 (HR=2.633; p=2.633; p=0.015). Conclusion: from both tumour markers, only CYFRA 21-1 was proven to be significant to NSCLC survival. CYFRA 21-1 cut-off value as a prognostic factor was > 10.9 ng/mL.

Global widespread of current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has emerged huge predicament to healthcare systems globally. This disease caused by a new beta-type coronavirus, known as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), may lead to systemic multiorgan dysfunction syndrome and subsequently cause death due to abundant angiotensin converting enzyme 2 as its functional receptors throughout body. Oncology patients even have a worse prognosis with greater infection susceptibility because they are in a state of suppression of the systemic immune system due to malignancy and anticancer therapy. This problem makes adequate and appropriate treatment urgently needed. Through randomized clinical trials, various drugs were known to have good responses in COVID-19 patients. Here, we reported a-49-year-old-woman that was confirmed for COVID-19 by clinical manifestation, radiology profile, high procalcitonin concentration, and positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test. The patient also had breast and thyroid cancers history and had undergone various therapeutic modalities such as chemotherapy, thyroid surgery, and breast surgery. She was undergoing hormone therapy but experiencing disease progression after achieving complete remission based on PET-CT scan 4 months before. The patient was treated with various antibiotics but showed a significant clinical improvement by administering moxifloxacin.

Introduction. Cardiovascular complications caused by endothelial dysfunction become one of the highest causes of mortality in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Rheumatoid Factor (RF) is an autoantibody that is commonly found in RA and is thought increasing the inflammatory response and endothelial dysfunction. Metabolic syndrome may also increase endothelial dysfunction. There have been no study assessing correlation between RF and endothelial dysfunction in RA patients without metabolic syndrome. Aim of this study was to determine the correlation between RF levels with VCAM-1 levels in RA patients without metabolic syndrome. Methods. Cross sectional design study of adult RA patients treated in Rheumatology Polyclinic of Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital without metabolic syndrome. Data collection was conducted from February to March 2018 from the previous research data taken from February 2016 to September 2017. The levels of RF and VCAM-1 were assessed through blood serum testing using the ELISA method. Correlation between the two variables was made using Spearman correlation analysis with SPSS 20.0 Results. A total of 46 subjects were included in the study. Most (95.7%) subjects were women with an average age of 44.43 years, median duration of 36 months, and most had moderate activity (52.2%). Most patients had a positive RF (63%). The correlation between RF levels and VCAM-1 levels had a weak correlation strength but was not statistically significant (r= 0.264; p= 0.076). Subjects with RF positive had higher levels of VCAM-1 (626.89 vs. 540.96 ng / mL). Conclusion. There is no correlation yet between RF and VCAM-1 in RA patient s without metabolic syndrome.

Introduction. Rheumatoid Arthritis is a chronic disease requiring a long-term medication affecting quality of life. Short Form 12 is a generic questionnaire to assess patients quality of life and has been validated in England. This study was designed to test reliability and validity of Indonesian version of SF-12 questionnaire. Methods. Sixty-five patients with clinically diagnosed RA using ACR/EULAR criterion were interviewed using Short Form 36 and Short Form 12 questionnaire. Validity was assessed with construct validity and external validity, while reliability tested with internal consistency and test-retest method. Results. Short-Form 12 (Indonesian Version) did not proved having a good validity, as it have a poor correlation between RE and MH domain in SF-36 and SF-12. Indonesian version of SF-12 shown a poor internal consistency (Cronbach Alpha: 0.561-0.754) but a good test and retest reliability ( intraclass correlation coefficient: 0.844-0.980, p

Background: there are differences in factors associated with frailty syndrome in elderly population. The aim of this research was to determine frailty status (fit, pre-frail and frail) and to identify factors associated with physical frailty in urban community-dwelling elderly women. Methods: a cross-sectional study of community-dwelling women aged 60 years and older was conducted in West and Central Jakarta regions, Indonesia, from July until September 2017. The Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS) score was used to determine frailty status (fit/ pre-frail/ frail). Chi-Square Test and logistic regression analysis were used to determine association between independent variables and physical frailty. Results: there were 325 female subjects with a median age of 67 (60–94) years; 95.7% had income below the Provincial Minimum Income of DKI Jakarta in 2017 (

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a clonal haemopoietic stem cell disorders with reciprocal translocation in chromosome 9 (ch9) and 22 (ch22) which cause the fusion of Break cluster region-Abelson murine leukemia (BCR-ABL) oncogene. This fusion will activate tyrosine kinase. Imatinib mesylate is the first tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), which could change the prognosis of CML patients. However, there is a resistance to TKI’s, and based on transcriptomic study, increase expression of gen signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) 5A and runt-related transcription factor 3 (RUNX3) can cause resistance to TKI’s. The STAT5 protein, which in normal myeloid cells being activated by cytokine, in CML patients was activated even without cytokines. STAT5 refer to STAT5A and STAT5B, however they have might have different role in hematopoietic stem cells or in CML cells. This review summarizes the role of STAT5 in tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance in CML patients.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease which has recently been recognized to manifest as not only intraarticular but also extraarticular symptoms. Cardiovascular events, presented either subclinically or clinically, were discovered more in AR patients. Atherogenic inflammatory mediator in AR including interleukin-6 (IL-6) was thought to be one of nontraditional cardiovascular risk factor contributing to increase the endothelial dysfunction biomarker such as E-Selectin. This study was purposed to determine the correlation between inflammatory mediator and endothelial dysfunction event, especially between IL-6 and E-Selectin, in RA patient without traditional cardiovascular risk factor. A cross-sectional study was performed to 40 RA patients of Rheumatology Clinic of Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital, Indonesia from September to November 2017. Measurement of the level of IL-6 and E-Selectin were performed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Bivariate correlation analysis was performed to determine the correlation between those two biomarkers. The mean age of this study subjects was 44.9 (13.1) years and median of disease duration was 36 months. This study showed weak correlation between IL-6 and E-Selectin level, but not statistically significant.232, p=0.149). There is weak correlation between IL-6 and sE-Selectin in rheumatoid arthritis patient without traditional risk factor cardiovascular Keywords: traditional risk factor cardiovascular, E-Selectin, interleukin-6, pro inflammatory mediator, rheumatoid arthritis

Hodgkin lymphoma is a cancer that can be cured using standard chemotherapy with or without radiation. Although it accounts for only 0.6% of all malignancy worldwide, but it usually affects young adults with median age of 38 years. About 60 to 90% cases can be cured depending on its stage and 5 to 10% cases are refractory to the first-line chemotherapy; while 20 to 30% patients experiencing relapse after receiving the first-line chemotherapy. The relapse causes new problem in treatment. A monoclonal antibody-chemotherapy conjugate, Brentuximab vedotin, was approved by Food Drug Association and European Medicine since 2011 dan was approved by European Medicine Agency since 2012 to treat relapsed classical Hodgkin lymphoma and anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). Brentuximab vedotin has also been known as anti-CD30. CD30 or Ki-1 or TNFRSF8 is a 120-kD glycoprotein, which is a trans-membrane receptor of Hodgkin lymphoma cells. The glycoprotein was first identified in 1982 using monoclonal antibody against Hodgkin lymphoma-derived cell lines. The glycoprotein was then cloned and recognized as a member of tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily, which has intracellular, transcellular and extracellular domains. The monoclonal antibody obviously does cause a reaction not only with the Reed-Sternberg (RS) cells of Hodgkin lymphoma, but also with a small number of normal lymphocytes subset, which are located at perifollicular zone as well as lymphoid tumor such as anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) and other non-lymphoid tumor such as embryonic and pancreas carcinoma, undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma and malignant melanoma. Therefore, CD30 monoclonal antibody alone to confirm the diagnosis of Hodgkin lymphoma is ineffective as it must be used together with other panel of immunohistochemistry antibodies such as cytokeratins, carcinoma embryonic antigen, melanoma-associated antigen and placental alkaline phosphatide. The expression of CD30 molecules in Reed-Sternberg cells of Hodgkin lymphoma has been demonstrated in over 98% of classical Hodgkin lymphoma cases; however, there is a difference in staining intensity among various cases or even in one case.
