Background. The COVID-19 pandemic may increase the risk of psychosocial problems in adolescents from general population. Thallasemia is highly prevalent chronic disease in children and adolescents in Indonesia. Patients with chronic disease are vulnerable to have more psychosocial problems during the COVID-19 pandemic. An increase in psychosocial problems may lead to high morbidity and the risk of decreased quality of life. The pandemic can also have an impact on the transfusion practice of thalassemia patients. The psychosocial problems and its impact on transfusion practice in adolescents with thalassemia major during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia have not been established.

Objectives. To evaluate the magnitude of psychosocial problems in adolescents with thalassemia major during the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the transfusion practice at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta.

Methods. This is a cross-sectional study on 121 thalassemia mayor patients aged 10-<18 years old at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital. Psychosocial aspect was evaluated using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) form. Depression was further assessed using the Children’s Depression Inventory (CDI) form. A comparative paired categorical analysis was performed to analyze the difference between before and during the COVID-19 pandemic concerning transfusion frequency and average pretransfusion haemoglobin.

Results. There are 11,6% thalassemia major adolescents with abnormal total SDQ scores including emotional problems (18,2%), conduct problems (9,9%), hiperactivity (5%), peer problems (8.3%), dan prosocial behavior problems (1,7%).  Nineteen percents thalassemia major adolescents experienced elevated number of depressive symptoms. There was no significant difference between before and during the COVID-19 pandemic concerning transfusion frequency, but there were significant difference between before and during the COVID-19 pandemic concerning blood transfusion pattern (p=0,017) and average pretransfusion haemoglobin (p=0,043). The blood volume obtained by thalassemia major patients was also lower during the COVID-19 pandemic than the required blood volume that is statiscally significant(p<0,001).

Conclusion. Psychosocial screening in adolescents with thalassemia major during the COVID-19 pandemic showed that the most common problems encountered were emotional problems and conduct problems, with a number of patients experiencing elevated symptoms of depression. The pandemic had an impact on the blood transfusion pattern for thalassemia major patients."

"ABSTRAKKeterlambatan diagnosis gangguan spektrum autisme (GSA) masih menjadi masalah kesehatan anak di seluruh dunia hingga saat ini. Tenaga kesehatan yang kompeten dalam diagnosis GSA masih terbatas di pusat kesehatan tersier yang seringkali sulit dijangkau. Penggunaan telemedicine sebagai alat diagnosis dengan berbagai metode mulai diteliti; namun keterbatasan aplikasi menyebabkan telemedicine belum digunakan secara luas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektivitas aplikasi telemedicine menggunakan rekaman video yang direkam dengan protokol khusus dibandingkan dengan observasi langsung terhadap aktivitas pasien dalam menegakkan diagnosis GSA. Sebanyak 40 subyek berusia 18-30 bulan yang datang dengan keluhan keterlambatan bicara atau perilaku acuh dan mendapat skor M-CHAT-R lebih dari dua mengikuti penelitian ini. Hasil rekaman video menurut protokol khusus dinilai berdasarkan kriteria GSA menurut DSM-5, kemudian subyek dinilai menurut kriteria yang sama pada observasi langsung. Tingkat kesesuaian diagnosis pada kedua metode mencapai 82,5%. Sensitivitas rekaman video dalam diagnosis GSA mencapai 91,3% (IK 95% 79,7% sampai 100%) dan spesifisitas 70,6% (IK 95% 48,9% sampai 92,2%). Nilai duga positif mencapai 80,7% (IK 95% 65,6% sampai 95,9%), sedangkan nilai duga negatif 85,7% (IK95% 67,4% sampai 100%). Rasio kemungkinan positif adalah 3,1 (IK 95% 1,47 sampai 6,5), sedangkan rasio kemungkinan negatif adalah 0,16 (IK 95% 0,03 sampai 0,47). Berdasarkan hasil di atas, telemedicine berbasis rekaman video cukup baik dalam mendiagnosis GSA, meskipun spesifisitas tidak tinggi. Pada kasus yang meragukan, observasi langsung tetap perlu dilakukan.

ABSTRACTDelayed diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) remains as a persisting child health problem throughout the world until now. Competent professionals in diagnosing ASD are limited in tertiary health care centers which are usually hard to access. The use of telemedicine as a diagnostic tool using various methods has been investigated; however, application limitations cause the telemedicine has not widely used. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of telemedicine using video recording with special protocol compared to direct observation of patient s activities in diagnosing ASD. We included forty subjects aged 18-30 months old with chief complaints of delayed speech or ignoring behavior and M-CHAT-R score more than two. Video records guided by special protocol were assessed using DSM-5 criteria of ASD and the subjects were assessed using the same criteria during direct observation. Diagnostic agreement between the two methods was 82.5%. The sensitivity of video recording in diagnosing ASD was 91.3% (95% CI 79.7% to 100%), while the specificity was 70.6% (95% CI 48.9% to 92.2%). The positive predictive value was 80.7% (95% CI 65.6% to 95.9%), while the negative predictive value was 85.7% (95% CI 67.4% to 100%). The positive likelihood ratio was 3.1 (95% CI 1.47 to 6.55), while the negative likelihood ratio was 0.16 (95% CI 0.03to 0.47). Based on the results, telemedicine using video recording is effective for diagnosing ASD, despite its low specificity. In uncertain cases, direct observation is still need to be done. "

"Prevalens SNAD NKB < 34 minggu dan atau BLSR di Indonesia masih tinggi. Asuhan antenatal yang tidak adekuat, gejala infeksi saat lahir yang sulit dibedakan dengan prematuritas, dan modalitas diagnostik yang suboptimal membuat diagnosis SNAD pada populasi ini sulit. Presepsin salah satu marker infeksi meningkat saat awal infeksi berpotensi dijadikan salah satu parameter diagnostik SNAD. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat akurasi presepsin sebagai salah satu parameter diagnosis SNAD dan dibandingkan dengan CRP. Studi ini merupakan studi potong lintang terhadap 71 NKB < 34 minggu dan atau BLSR dengan faktor risiko SNAD lebih tinggi atau faktor risiko SNAD rendah yang menunjukkan gejala sepsis di Unit Perinatologi RSCM. Penelitian ini mencari nilai batas presepsin sebagai parameter diagnostik SNAD pada berbagai waktu pengambilan, kemudian membandingkannya dengan CRP. Kurva ROC dikerjakan untuk menentukan nilai batasan optimal presepsin. Penelitian ini mendapat nilai presepsin lebih tinggi pada kelompok SNAD dibandingkan dengan non-sepsis (median 814, 802, dan 693 pg/mL, p<0,05). Presepsin mencapai nilai puncaknya pada T1 sedangkan CRP pada T24. Nilai batas optimal, batas bawah dan batas atas presepsin T1 adalah 621,5, 458, 808 pg/mL. Pada T4 yaitu 733, 518,5, 733 pg/mL serta T24 yaitu 667,5, 556,5, 820,5 pg/mL. Nilai batas presepsin T1 memiliki sensitivitas 82,14%, spesifisitas 81,4%, NDP 74,19%, NDN 87,5%, dan akurasi 81,69%. Sedangkan presepsin T4 memiliki sensitivitas 60,71%, spesifisitas 93,02%, NDP 85%, NDN 78,43% dan akurasi 80,28%. Nilai batasan presepsin T24 memiliki sensitivitas 64%, spesifisitas 86%, NDP 75% dan NDN 78,7% dan akurasi 77,46%. Sebagai kesimpulan, presepsin meningkat sesaat setelah lahir jika terjadi infeksi. Presepsin T1 dapat digunakan sebagai parameter skrining SNAD dengan menggunakan nilai batasan optimal 621,5 pg/mL. Presepsin dengan berbagai nilai batasan tertentu memiliki fungsi yang berbeda dan dapat diaplikasikan ke dalam alur diagnosis dan tata laksana SNAD berdasarkan faktor risiko populasi tersebut.

Early onset neonatal sepsis prevalence in Indonesia remains high among preterm neonates born at <34 weeks' gestation and or VLBW. Inadequate antenatal care, infectious symptoms at birth that are confusing to distinguish from prematurity, and poor predictive performance of laboratory tests made diagnosis of EOS is wearisome. Presepsin, one of the biomarkers, increases early in onset of infection has potential to become diagnostic tools for EOS. The objective of this study is to find the accuracy of presepsin as one of EOS diagnostic tools and compared it with CRP. This study is a cross-sectional study of of 71 neonates born at < 34 weeks' gestation and or VLBW at higher risk of EOS or at lower risk for EOS that showing some degree of respiratory or systemic instability. Presepsin which was collected in different time interval (T1, T4 and T24), compared to diagnostic criteria of sepsis as the gold standard. The accuracy of CRP with currently cut-off points also analyzed in this study. The ROC curve was performed to determine the optimal cut-off points of presepsin. Presepsin values were higher in the EOS group than in uninfected group at T1(median 814 vs 438 pg/mL; p<0.05) T4 (802 vs 445 pg/mL; p<0.05), and T24 (693 vs 469 pg/ mL; p <0.05). Presepsin achieved best accuracy at T1 and reaches its peak value at T1 while CRP have it at T24. Optimal cut-off points, the lower limit and the upper limit of presepsin at T1 are 621.5, 458, 808 pg/mL. At T4 are 733, 518.5, 733 pg/mL and T24 are 667.5, 556.5, 820.5 pg/mL. With those optimal cut-off value, presepsin has 82.14% sensitivity, 81.4% specificity, 74.19% PPV, 87.5% NPV, and accuracy of 81.69%. Whereas presepsin at T4 has 60.71% sensitivity, 93.02% specificity, 85% PPV, 78.43% NPV and an accuracy of 80.28%. Presepsin at T24 has a sensitivity of 64%, a specificity of 86%, an NDP of 75% and an NDN of 78.7% and an accuracy of 77.46%. In conclusion, presepsin increases shortly after birth in EOS group. Presepsin at T1 can be used as EOS screening tools by using an optimal cut-off value of 621.5 pg/mL. Presepsin with certain boundary values have different functions and perhaps can be applied to the EOS diagnosis and management pathways in RSCM."

"Latar belakang. Kolestasis terkait sepsis (KTS) masih merupakan permasalahan medis di negara berkembang disebabkan tingginya morbiditas, mortalitas dan lama rawat. Inflamasi usus akibat disfungsi sawar usus diduga berperan dalam KTS sehingga perlu dibuktikan perannya terhadap terjadinya KTS. Inflamasi dan permeabilitas mukosa usus dapat dinilai melalui kadar kalprotektin dan alfa-1 antitripsin (AAT) pada tinja.Tujuan. Untuk mengetahui hubungan antara terjadinya KTS pada sepsis neonatorum dengan inflamasi dan gangguan permeabilitas usus yang dinilai dengan peningkatan kadar kalprotektin dan α-1-antitripsin dalam tinja. Metode. Studi kohort prospektif di ruang rawat inap Perinatologi dan Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Departemen Ilmu Kesehatan Anak Rumah Sakit Cipto Mangunkusumo periode Juni 2012- Oktober 2013.

Background. Sepsis-associated cholestasis (SAC) remain a medical problem in developing countries due to high morbidity, mortality and length of hospital. Intestinal inflammation as the causes of intestinal barrier dysfunction are suspected play a role in SAC, so it is necessary to prove its contribution to SAC. Intestinal inflammation and increased permeability were assessed through faecal calprotectin and alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) concentrations.Objective. To determine the association between SAC in sepsis neonatorum with intestinal inflammation and permeability were assessed through increased faecal calprotectin and AAT levels.Methods. This was cohort prospective study at Perinatologi and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Department of Child Health Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital during June 2012 to October 2013. Eighty neonates were obtained by consecutive sampling, of which 271 proven sepsis hospitalized in this period, devided 2 groups (SAC and non cholestasis sepsis) respectively 40 subjects. Faecal calprotectin and AAT concentrations was measured.Results. There was no significant association between SAC and faecal calprotectin excretion [SAC vs. non cholestasis sepsis, median (range) 104.4 (25 to 358,5) vs. 103.5 (5.4 to 351) μg/g; p = 0.637] and faecal AAT [median (range) 28 (2 to 96) vs. 28 (2 to 120) mg/dL; p = 0.476). Increased faecal calprotectin (CI 95% 0.4 to 3.6; p = 0,63) and AAT (CI 95% 0.4 to 3.3; p=0.152) did not differ significantly between the two groups.Conclusions. Faecal calprotectin and alpha-1 antitrypsin concentrations is not associated with SAC in sepsis neonatorum. There is no evidence of intestinal inflammation causes increased paracellular intestinal permeability in SAC. Further research is needed on the pathogenesis of intestinal inflammation in SAC which may result in increased intestinal permeability by transcellular and enterocyte damage."
