PurposeThe aim of this study was to analyze the association of the carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) with various parameters in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (mHD).MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted, enrolling 68 subjects (41 men, 27 women) on mHD in the Hemodialysis Unit, Sanglah Hospital, Denpasar, Indonesia. CIMT was measured with B-mode ultrasonography using a USG Sonoace 8000 and a 7.5 MHz linear transducer.ResultsCIMT was higher in subjects with cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared with those without CVD (0.6494 vs 0.7288 mm; P=0.026), and in men compared with women (0.7056 vs 0.6141 mm; P=0.003). CIMT was correlated with age (R=0.607; P<0.001), plasma albumin (R=−0.291, P=0.016), serum phosphate (R=−0.294, P=0.015), calcium-phosphate product (R=−0.284, P=0.011), and plasma high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (R=0.279, P=0.030). However, after multiple linear regression testing, only age consistently had a role in determining the CIMT value (β=0.452, P<0.001).ConclusionSubjects with CVD have higher CIMT than those without CVD and men had higher CIMT than women. In addition, older age, higher high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, and lower albumin, phosphate, and calcium-phosphate product levels were correlated with higher CIMT. Age was the most important marker for CIMT in subjects on mHD.
Background: Trauma is now the most frequent cause of death in the first four decades of life and is still a major public health problem in every country. Trauma that occurs often involves several regions of the body. This condition is called multiple trauma. In multiple trauma, coagulopathy often occurs. In the last four decades it was mentioned that in multiple trauma conditions also occur acidosis and coagulopathy which will also increase the mortality of multiple trauma patients with multiple trauma, serum lactate is superior to base deficit. The purpose of this study is to obtain the correlation of each prothrombin time (PT) value, activated partial prothrombin time (aPTT) value and international normalized ratio (INR) value with serum lactate levels as indicators of mortality in multiple trauma cases.Methods: This study was an observational study with an analytic cross-sectional design to determine the correlation between physiological parameters of hemostasis and serum lactate in multiple trauma patients.Results: From the 60 samples studied there were 43 male patients (71.7%) and 17 female patients (28.3%) with an average age of 37 ± 19.61 years. 7 (11.7%) cases died. Logistic regression test with each conducted on the APPT and INR variables and lactate levels obtained aPTT was the most influential risk factor for mortality with a p-value of 0.005 <0.05 OR 0.023 (CI 95%: 0.002-0.332)Conclusion: Serum lactate levels and physiological hemostasis are not only indicators that explain a patient in a state of shock, but can also be used as an indicator in determining morbidity and mortality in multiple trauma patients.Latar belakang : Trauma saat ini merupakan penyebab kematian paling sering dalam empat dekade pertama kehidupan dan masih menjadi masalah kesehatan masyarakat yang utama di setiap negara. Trauma yang terjadi seringkali melibatkan beberapa regio tubuh. Kondisi ini disebut dengan multipel trauma. Pada multipel trauma, sering terjadi koagulopati. Pada empat decade terakhir disebutkan bahwa pada multipel trauma juga terjadi keadaan asidosis serta koagulopati yang juga akan meningkatkan mortalitas pasien multipel trauma multipel trauma, serum laktat lebih superior dibanding defisit basa. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah didapatkan korelasi masing – masing nilai prothrombin time (PT), nilai activated partial prothrombin time (aPTT) dan nilai international normalized ratio (INR) dengan kadar serum laktat sebagai indikator mortalitas pada kasus multipel trauma.Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan studi observasional dengan rancangan potong lintang analitik untuk mengetahui korelasi antara parameter faal hemostasis dan serum laktat pada pasien multiple trauma.Hasil: Dari 60 sampel yang diteliti dijumpai penderita laki-laki sebanyak 43 orang (71,7 %) dan perempuan 17 orang (28,3 %) dengan rata-rata usia 37 ± 19,61 tahun. Penderita yang meninggal sebanyak 7 (11,7%) kasus. Uji regresi logistik dengan masing masing dilakukan pada variabel APPT dan INR serta kadar laktat didapatkan aPTT merupakan faktor risiko yang paling berpengaruh terhadap terjadinya mortalitas dengan p-value 0,005 < 0,05 OR 0,023 (IK: 0,002-0,322)Simpulan: Kadar serum laktat dan faal hemostasis tidak hanya sebagai indikator yang menerangkan pasien dalam keadaan syok, tapi juga dapat digunakan sebagai indikator dalam menentukan morbiditas dan mortalitas pada pasien multipel trauma.
Early application of a novel, intermittent pneumatic compression device may be successful in preparing forearm veins in Stage 4 CRF patients. The early study results of the FACT trial show statistical significance in vein size improvement, distensibility, and clinical effectiveness to reach predetermined size goals.
