S epsis merupakan respon inflamasi terhadap infeksi, pendapat lain menyebutkan sepsis neonatorum sebagai sindrom klinik penyakit sistemik yang disertai bakteremia yang terjadi pada bulan pertama kehidupan.1 Sepsis pada neonatus merupakan masalah yang belum dapat terpecahkan dalam pelayanan dan perawatan bayi baru lahir. 2 Pada negara yang sedang berkembang, hampir sebagian besar bayi baru lahir yang dirawat mempunyai kaitan dengan masalah sepsis dan sampai saat ini sepsis pada neonatus masih merupakan penyebab utama mortalitas dan morbiditas pada bayi baru lahir.
Latar belakang. Bilirubin tidak terikat potensial membahayakan sistem susunan saraf pusat, dan dapat menyebabkan kerusakan neurologis yang berat dan permanen.Rasio total bilirubin dan albumin dianggap parameter mewakili bilirubin yang tidak terikat,dalam menentukan modalitas terapi untuk hiperbilirubinemia. Tujuan.Mengetahui rasio bilirubin albumin pada pasien hiperbilirubinemia.Metode.Penelitian menggunakan studi sekat lintang yang dilakukan di Divisi Neonatologi RS. H. Adam Malik Medan dan RS. Pirngadi Medan mulai Agustus 2009 – Maret 2010.Hasil. Terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara kadar albumin dan toral serum bilirubin dengan p<0,05.Kesimpulan.Rasio bilirubin-albumin merupakan parameter jumlah bilirubin bebas, dan dapat digunakan sebagai indikator yang lebih baik dalam penentuan terapi, untuk menurunkan kejadian bilirubin-induced neurologic damage.
Background. Neonatal sepsis is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The evaluation of antibiotic prescription in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) is important for reducing inappropriate antibiotic use and minimizing the development of antibiotic resistance. Antimicrobial stewardship programs potentially promote a prudent use of antibiotics; however, the approach in NICUs is not yet optimal. Objectives. The aim of our study was to evaluate antibiotic prescriptions for neonatal sepsis in a tertiary hospital in North Sumatera, indonesia. Material and methods. In our retrospective study, we collected data from medical records and enrolled 324 neonatal sepsis patients who received one or more antibiotics. Results. Gentamycin and cefotaxime were the two most common antibiotics prescribed in the NICU (72.22% and 71.60%, respectively). However, high levels of resistance to gentamycin and cefotaxime were found among common pathogens circulating in the NICU (55.56% and 82.81%, respectively). Only 40.33% of the antibiotic prescriptions were appropriate: approximately 15.11% of the patients had received antibiotics with incorrect indications and 16.16% of the antibiotics had been administered without sufficient duration. Conclusions. The appropriate use of antibiotic prescriptions in the NICU was low, which may lead to high mortality in neonatal sepsis patients. Continued evaluation of antibiotic usage by implementing antimicrobial stewardship programs in the NICU is important.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
