One of the highest risk factors for preeclampsia is anemia, so this study aimed to conduct a systematic review of the relationship between anemia in pregnant women and the incidence of preeclampsia. This research was an analytic type with a systematic review method from previous research with an observational case-control approach design with secondary data sources. The data were obtained from the results of previous research with a literature time limit of the last 5 years (2018–2022). This study used databases from Google Scholar, Pubmed, ScienceDirect, Garuda, and Summon Universitas Airlangga. The search yielded 2161 studies; after eliminating 439 duplicates, 1732 remained. After exclusion based on titles and abstracts, 36 studies remained, which were screened in full text. Finally, 8 studies were eligible and included in the review. Four studies showed a relationship between anemia in pregnant women and the incidence of preeclampsia, while four other studies showed no relationship. The prevalence of anemia in pregnant women in Indonesia ranges from 13.27% to 80.8%, with an average of 44.1%. Ages at risk for preeclampsia in Indonesia are pregnant women aged &lt;20 years and &gt;35 years. There is a relationship between anemia in pregnant women and the incidence of preeclampsia in Indonesia. Therefore, anemia can be a risk factor for preeclampsia.</em></p> Pirlina Umiastuti Sri Umijati Safira Raissa Muhammad Fadhil Khansa Raihani Emyrazel Fahdizar Neissya Nastiti Mariska Nuriana Siti Aria Shabrina Nur Imanina Copyright (c) 2024 Pirlina Umiastuti, Sri Umijati, Safira Raissa, Muhammad Fadhil, Khansa Raihani, Emyrazel Fahdizar, Neissya Nastiti, Mariska Nuriana, Siti Aria, Shabrina Nur Imanina http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-05-29 2024-05-29 5 1 99 111 10.20473/jcmphr.v5i1.50098 The Influence of Intant Massage to Weight Gains in Low Birth Weight Infant (LBW) : A Systematic Review https://e-journal.unair.ac.id/JCMPHR/article/view/48642 <p><em>Growth and development is a significant phase that cannot be replicated, underscoring the need for meticulous attention, particularly for those born with low birth weight (LBW). LBW can be stimulated using infant massage. This research aimed to evaluate the impact of infant massage on weight gain among LBW infants. This is a systematic review using PICOS framework, investigating studies from 2018 to 2023 in databases including Cochrane, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Scopus. The inclusion criteria involved full-text access and the keywords low birth weight, weight gain, and massage. The initial search yielded 1913 literature, which were screened based on publication year and type, resulting in 122 articles. After being examined, 119 articles were excluded due to duplication, using non-English language, involving non-LBW, different outcomes, and non-RCT, leaving three articles. The assessment of literature quality was conducted using the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist for Systematic Reviews and Research Syntheses. The results of outcome measurements and group comparisons across the three studies exhibited congruence. In conclusion, the finding indicated that infants who underwent massage intervention exhibited weight gain, as did those who did not undergo such intervention. Furthermore, infants who received massage intervention experienced a more pronounced increase in weight compared to their counterparts who did not undergo massage intervention.</em></p> Atika Lilik Djuari Hafizh Al Ghifari Manaf Daffa Ardhi Bachtiar Annisa Maya Sabrina Naufal Agus Ismahendra Mochammad Ridhwan Soediono Sitti Khofifah Yuliana Muhammad Farras Razaan Yustika Ayoustira Karim Copyright (c) 2024 Atika, Lilik Djuari, Daffa Ardhi Bachtiar, Annisa Maya Sabrina, Hafizh Al Ghifari Manaf, Naufal Agus Ismahendra, Mochammad Ridhwan Soediono, Sitti Khofifah Yuliana, Muhammad Farras Razaan, Yustika Ayoustira Karim http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-05-29 2024-05-29 5 1 112 120 10.20473/jcmphr.v5i1.48642 Back Matter https://e-journal.unair.ac.id/JCMPHR/article/view/58233 <p><strong>Back Matter</strong></p> admin Copyright (c) 2024 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-05-29 2024-05-29 5 1 Profile of Syphilis Compliance and Success of Therapy at Dermatology and Venereology Clinic RSUD Dr. Saiful Anwar Malang: A Descriptive Study https://e-journal.unair.ac.id/JCMPHR/article/view/47714 <p><em>Syphilis is a chronic progressive sexually transmitted infection, that causes a life-threatening condition if left untreated. In lower-middle-income countries, the burden of disease might appear to be lower due to a lack of reports. This study aimed to report the epidemiological profile, the profile of compliance, and the success of therapy of syphilis at the Dermatology and Venereology Outpatient Clinic in RSUD dr. Saiful Anwar Malang, Indonesia. This study used a descriptive approach using secondary data from the medical records of newly diagnosed syphilis patients at Dermatology and Venereology Clinic RSUD dr. Saiful Anwar Malang from January 2021 - December 2021. Sample collection was using a total sampling technique. Eighteen medical records met the inclusion criteria. The majority of samples were men (77.8%), aged 17-25 years (44.4%) and 26-35 years (44.4%), had a high school education (55.6%), HIV positive (50%) and HIV negative (50%). All 18 patients got intramuscular injections of a single 2.4 million U or 7.2 million U Benzathine Penicillin G according to the syphilis stage. It was found that eight patients (44.4%) had a successful therapy, two patients (11.2%), experienced failure, and the remaining eight patients (44.4%) were unknown due to loss of follow-up. Several factors are associated with better patient compliance including older age, higher educational level, type of the disease, and lower complexity of treatment schedules. Overall, therapeutic compliance of syphilis patients is good, but monitoring compliance needs to be improved. Benzathine Penicillin G remains the drug of choice for syphilis and has a high success rate.</em></p> Intan Wasaputri Donoseputro Lita Setyowatie Copyright (c) 2024 Intan Wasaputri Donoseputro, Lita Setyowatie http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-05-29 2024-05-29 5 1 1 8 10.20473/jcmphr.v5i1.47714 Predictors of Mortality among Hospitalized Patients with COVID-19 in Egypt-A Retrospective Observational Study https://e-journal.unair.ac.id/JCMPHR/article/view/47733 <p><em>The prediction of mortality and risk stratification of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) offers a rational approach for clinical support, health resource allocation, and implementation of protective interventions to optimize the treatment.

Investigate demographic features, clinical characteristics, laboratory parameters, and pharmacological treatment received by individuals who died due to Covid-19 that may be predictors of mortality. A retrospective observational study. A single-center cohort in Almaza Fever Egyptian Hospital through three years of the pandemic, 2020, 2021, and 2022. About 194 elderly patients with Covid-19 were attendees of the hospital and died through three years of the pandemic, 2020, 2021, and 2022. A total of 64 cases were in 2020, 94 cases in 2021, and 36 cases in 2022. Main outcome measures: Mortality after a short stay of 9 days evaluated by the area under the curve (AUC), determination of the clinical features, and laboratory measures that may be predictors related to mortality over the three years of the pandemic. Our research found a statistically significant variation between the three years (2020, 2021, and 2022) regarding co-morbidities including IHD, renal and stroke (p-value &lt; 0.05), treatment including Iverzine, chloroquine, remedisvir, and SL (P-value &lt; 0.001), and symptoms including pneumonia status, cytokine storm, dyspnea, cough, anosmia, loss of taste and GIT symptoms (p-value &lt; 0.005). After analysis, there were some predictors, including male sex, age, and hospital stay, that were positively associated with the deterioration of some laboratory measures and biomarkers such as IL-6 with mortality after a short period of stay (9 days) over time. The presented study showed a reliable prediction of mortality over time, so, it plays a crucial role in early patients' identification who are at high risk of death. Therefore, the deteriorated cases should be closely monitored.</em></p> Mohamed Abdel-Salam Elgohary Mostafa Mahmoud Elnakib Mohamed G Seadawy Mohamed Emam Mohamed dina elaraby Amany Ahmad Ibrahim Osama Hasan Bekheet Hesham Mosaad Sheshtawy Marina Raouf Abdelmessih Saleeb Nouran Ameen Hamza Nashwa Naguib Omar Ahmed Mahmoud ElShafei Jacklin Samir kamal Copyright (c) 2024 Mohamed Abdel-Salam Elgohary, Mostafa Mahmoud Elnakib, Mohamed G Seadawy, Mohamed Emam Mohamed5, dina elaraby, Amany Ahmad Ibrahim, Osama Hasan Bekheet, Ashraf Ibrahim Zaki, Mahmoud Zeinhom Abdelfattah, Hesham Mosaad Sheshtawy, Marina Raouf Abdelmessih Saleeb, Nouran Ameen Hamza, Nashwa Naguib Omar, Ahmed Mahmoud ElShafei , Jacklin Samir kamal6 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-05-29 2024-05-29 5 1 9 26 10.20473/jcmphr.v5i1.47733 Predictive Factors of Time Die From COVID-19 in Intensive Care Units https://e-journal.unair.ac.id/JCMPHR/article/view/49138 <p><em>To identify risk factors that increase or decrease the probability of dying from Covid-19 in Intensive Care Units (ICU) patients.

In the last three years, there have been consecutive cases or deaths due to Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF). Based on the epidemiological triangle concept, the emergence of dengue fever can be caused by an imbalance between host (human) factors, the agent as the cause, and the supporting environment. Environmental factors facilitate contact with agents consisting of the physical, social and biological environment. The physical environment that influences the occurrence of dengue fever cases includes house layout, type of container, frequency of draining the container, availability of lids on containers, altitude and climate. DHF cases in Guntur District in 2022 were 67 cases (IR 0.8 per 1,000 population). The case sample in this study was 86 respondents consisting of 43 case groups and 43 as controls. Sampling was taken in Guntur, Demak, Indonesia. The results showed that the factors having influence on the DHF were landfill materials, landfill volume, landfill availability, frequency of landfill draining, and the presence of larvae. The risk factors for dengue fever are the material of the water reservoir, the frequency of draining the water reservoir, the volume of the landfill, and the presence of larvae. People who used cement/soil landfill materials had a 3.529 greater chance of contracting dengue fever. People with less reliable behavior in draining landfills had a 5.569 times greater chance of contracting dengue fever, and people whose water reservoirs containing larvae had a 17.939 times greater chance of contracting dengue fever.</em></p> Fika Hariyanti Mursid Raharjo Tri Joko Copyright (c) 2024 FIKA HARIYANTI http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-05-29 2024-05-29 5 1 45 51 10.20473/jcmphr.v5i1.50325 The Relationship Between Central Obesity and The Incidence of Hypertension in Women of Productive Age in Turirejo Hamlet, Lawang, Malang, Indonesia https://e-journal.unair.ac.id/JCMPHR/article/view/50562 <p><em>Inactivity and sedentary lifestyles, particularly among women who primarily fulfill the role of housewives, are associated with a higher risk of obesity.

This study aimed to investigate the correlation between obesity and hypertension in women of productive age. This research used descriptive analytics with a cross-sectional design. Data were collected by interviews, blood pressure measurements, and central obesity measurements. The data were collected from Public Health Training Center Murnajati Lawang, Malang, Indonesia. The majority of participants belonged to the 46-55 age group and were non-working individuals. Among the total sample of 50 respondents, 19 (38%) experienced hypertension, with only 3 (6%) exhibiting central obesity. Dietary habits among respondents with central obesity included light to moderate consumption of items such as butter (52%), offal (34%), egg yolks (54%), shrimp (36%), cream milk (54%), mayonnaise (40%), and fatty meats (52%). However, the Fisher test results did not indicate a significant relationship (p= 0.279) between central obesity and hypertension.

The World Health Organization (W.H.O) Strategic Framework identifies five key strategic directions for enhancing basic medical education to meet existing health concerns. A long-term, integrated module across disciplines is one strategy that the Faculty of Medicine at Universitas Indonesia has experienced in its implementation in both community and clinical medicine. The module includes a variety of field practices (hospital and primary care) as well as inter-departmental personnel (committees and tutors). The module has bridged the gap between community medicine and clinical medicine, with integrated staff as well as collaboration between the departments of community medicine and clinical medicine. Community medicine has been seen as important not only for epidemiological concerns but also as part of the clinical teaching approach that prepares students for careers in hospitals or primary care after graduation. COME can be taught in multidisciplinary or inter-departmental collaboration to accomplish applied learning outcomes for individuals and community health activities. COME ensures our education system produces medical graduates to meet health system needs with the help of faculties and teachers who are also responsible for community health and well-being. </em></p> Retno Asti Werdhani Dian Kusuma Dewi Ardi Findyartini Andi Ade Ramlan Agus Sugiharto Copyright (c) 2024 Retno Asti Werdhani, Dian Kusuma Dewi, Ardi Findyartini, Andi Ade Ramlan, Agus Sugiharto http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-05-29 2024-05-29 5 1 90 98 10.20473/jcmphr.v5i1.47512
