"Penurunan kesadaran merupakan suatu keadaan darurat medis yang harus segera ditangani dengan tepat untuk mengurangi kerusakan lebih lanjut. Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) yang digunakan untuk menilai tingkat kesadaran pada pasien penurunan kesadaran akan memberikan gambaran keparahan dari kerusakan otak dan memprediksi outcome. Tujuan: Mengetahui ketepatan GCS dalam memprediksi outcome pada pasien dengan penurunan kesadaran di Instalasi Gawat Darurat RSCM. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan studi observasional, kohort prospektif. 116 pasien usia ≥ 18 tahun dengan Glasgow Coma Scale dibawah 15 saat tiba di IGD RSCM Jakarta. Glasgow Coma Scale sampel dinilai sebanyak 1 kali ketika pasien pertama kali diterima di IGD RSCM. Peneliti mengevaluasi outcome pasien dua minggu setelah masuk IGD RSCM berdasarkan kriteria Glasgow Outcome Scale. Hasil Rerata usia pasien 51,4 ± 16,4 tahun, median GCS 9 (3- 14). Hasil: Glasgow Outcome Scale diklasifikasi menjadi bad outcome (meninggal dan disabilitas berat) 66 pasien (56,9%) dan good outcome (disabilitas sedang dan sembuh) 50 pasien (43,1%). Skor GCS pasien kelompok bad outcome berbeda bermakna dengan kelompok good outcome berdasarkan analisis statistik (p < 0,001). Skor GCS-E, GCS-M dan GCS-V masing-masing pasien kelompok bad outcome berbeda bermakna dengan kelompok good outcome berdasarkan analisis statistik (p < 0,001). Hasil regresi logistik, komponen GCS yang memiliki nilai prediksi terhadap outcome adalah komponen verbal dan membuka mata. Hasil uji kalibrasi skor GCS total dan skor GCS E+V memiliki kualitas yang baik. Hasil uji diskriminasi menunjukkan skor GCS total mempunyai nilai AUC 0,788 (IK95% 0,705-0,870). Skor GCS E+V mempunyai AUC 0,777 (IK95% 0,690-0,864). Titik potong GCS adalah ≤ 9. Uji Kappa antara dokter dan perawat terhadap skor GCS menunjukkan hasil yang sangat kuat Kappa 0,901 (p < 0,001). Kesimpulan: Skor Glasgow Coma Scale mampu memprediksi outcome dengan tepat pada pasien dengan penurunan kesadaran di Instalasi Gawat Darurat RSCM, karena memiliki kalibarasi dan diskriminasi yang baik.

Altered level of consciousness is a medical emergency that must be manage immediatly to reduce further damage. Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is used to assess the level of consciousness in citically ill patients. GCS indicates the severity of brain damage and predictor of patient outcomes.

Objective: To assess accuracy of GCS in predicting outcome for patients with altered level of consciousness in Emergency Department of Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital.

Method: This study is a observational prospective cohort study. Samples were 116 patients aged ≥ 18 years with a Glasgow Coma Scale below 15 at the time of admisssion in the Emergency Department of Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital. Glasgow Coma Scale was assessed when patients first arrived in the Emergency Department. To assess outcome, researchers used The Glasgow Outcome Scale. Glasgow Outcome Scale was reviewed 2 weeks after admission for every sample.

Results: The mean patient age was 51.4 ± 16.4 years, median GCS 9 (3-14). The Glasgow Outcome Scale classified into bad outcome (death and severe disability) 66 patients (56.9%) and good outcome (moderate disability and good recovery) 50 patients (43.1%). The difference in GCS score between both outcome group were statistically significant (p < 0,001). Each of patient's GCS-E, GCS and GCS-M-V in bad outcome groups differ significantly with good outcome group (p < 0,001). The results of logistic regression, GCS components that have predictive value to the outcome are verbal and eye opening component. Calibration test showed that total GCS score and GCS E+V score has good quality. The results of discrimination test showed total GCS score has a AUC of 0.788 (IK95% from 0.705 to 0.870). GCS score E+V has AUC of 0.777 (IK95% from 0.690 to 0.864). GCS's cut off point was ≤ 9. Kappa Test between doctors and nurses to the GCS score showed very strong results of Kappa 0.901 (p < 0,001).

Conclusion: Glasgow Coma Scale can predict outcome in patients with altered level of consciousness in the Emergency Department of Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, because of its good calibration and discrimination."

"Pelaporan nilai kritis laboratorium merupakan salah satu indikator mutu yang sangat penting. Kegagalan melaporkan nilai kritis kepada DPJP akan menjadi sebab potensial untuk menimbulkan kejadian yang tidak diharapkan. Di Rumah Sakit Umum Pusat sanglah Denpasar tingkat pelaporan nilai kritis baru mencapai 15,8%. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mendapatkan gambaran pelaporan nilai kritis laboratorium berdasarkan parameter pemeriksaan, jenis pasien (rawat jalan dan rawat inap), area perawatan, sub laboratorium, dan waktu dalam satu hari dan untuk melihat implementasi manajemen dalam pelaporan nilai kritis tersebut. Ada variasi jumlah hasil kritis berdasarkan parameter, jenis pasien, ruang perawatan, sub laboratorium dan waktu dalam sehari. Implementasi manajemen dari pelaporan nilai kritis tidak dilakukan secara utuh.

Laboratory critical value reporting is one of important quality indicator. Failure to report critical values to care givers will be a potential cause of adverse events. In Sanglah Central General Hospital critical values reporting rate only reached 15.8%. The purpose of this study was to obtain an overview of laboratory critical values reporting based on parameters, patient type, treatment areas, sub-laboratory, time of the day and to see the management implementation of the critical value reporting. There were variations in the number of critical values based on parameters, patient type, treatment areas, sub-laboratory, and time of the day. Management implementation in the critical values reporting system is not executed comprehensively."

"The authors evaluated the effect of a brief tailored smoking control intervention delivered during basic military training on tobacco use in a population of military personnel (N = 33,215). Participants were randomized to either a tobacco use intervention (smoking cessation, smokeless tobacco use cessation, or prevention depending on tobacco use history) or a health education control condition. Results indicated that smokers who received intervention were 1.16 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.04, 1.30) times (7-day point prevalence) and 1.23 (95% CI = 1.07, 1.41) times (continuous abstinence) more likely to be abstinent than controls from smoking cigarettes at the 1-year follow-up (p < .01); the cessation rate difference was 1.60% (31.09% vs. 29.49%) and 1.73% (15.47% vs. 13.74%) for point prevalence and continuous abstinence, respectively. Additionally, smokeless tobacco users were 1.33 (95% CI = 1.08, 1.63) times more likely than controls (p < .01) continuously abstinent at follow-up, an overall cessation rate difference of 5.44% (33.72% vs. 28.28%). The smoking prevention program had no impact on smoking initiation. These results suggest potential for large-scale tobacco control efforts."
