Summary The data on the predictors and prognosis of acute liver injury (ALI) among patients in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) patients are limited. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence, predictors and outcomes of ALI among patients with COVID‐19. A systematic review was conducted up to 10 June 2021. The relevant papers were searched from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane and Web of Science, and the data were analysed using a Z test. A total of 1331 papers were identified and 16 papers consisting of 1254 COVID‐19 with ALI and 4999 COVID‐19 without ALI were analysed. The cumulative prevalence of ALI among patients with COVID‐19 was 22.8%. Male and having low lymphocyte levels were more likely to be associated with ALI compared with female and having higher lymphocyte level, odds ratio (OR): 2.70; 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.03, 3.60 and mean difference (MD) −125; 95% CI: −207, −43, respectively. COVID‐19 patients with ALI had higher risk of developing severe COVID‐19 compared with those without ALI (OR: 3.61; 95% CI: 2.60, 5.02). Our findings may serve as the additional evaluation for the management of ALI in COVID‐19 patients.

Determinants of stunting are a concern in stunting locus villages, especially in East Nusa Tenggara, the province with the highest prevalence of stunting in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the determinants of stunting in such villages. A cross-sectional research design was conducted on a sample of 166 mothers of children aged 24–59 months selected using a proportional random sampling method in four stunting locus villages in East Nusa Tenggara province, from January to March 2022. Chi-square and binary logistic regression were used to analyze the determinants of stunting with a significance level of p < 0.05. The prevalence of stunting among children aged below five years in the villages was 22.3%. Lack of maternal knowledge (AOR: 5.310; 95% CI: 0.671–41.997) and negative parenting (AOR: 3.026; 95% CI: 1.191–7.871) were associated with higher risk of stunting. Meanwhile, children aged below five years with close birth spacing (AOR: 0.304; 95% CI: 0.087–1.063) had a low risk of stunting. The prevalence of stunting in stunting locus villages needs special attention from the Indonesian government. Maternal knowledge should be enhanced by distributing information related to stunting through formal and non-formal education and teaching good parenting to reduce the prevalence of stunting among children aged below five years in stunting locus villages.

Penanggulangan permasalahan penyakit Tuberkulosis menjadi prioritas karena merupakan salah satu masalah kesehatan global termasuk di Indonesia. Pemerintah telah melakukan strategi pemecahan masalah tuberculosis dengan kebijakan khusus yaitu DOTS untuk memberikan pengobatan standar, melakukan monitoring dan evaluasi melalui petugas puskesmas untuk mengontrol dan memastikan pasien TB mengkonsumsi obat secara teratur. Beberapa teknologi informasi pendukung dibuat agar memudahkan komunikasi dua arah dari petugas Kesehatan ke pasien dan sebaliknya. Salah satu teknologi tersebut yaitu system layanan SMS terhadap kepatuhan pengobatan pada pasien TB. Peneliti menggunakan cara telaah jurnal/mereview literatur dari beberapa database diantaranya Scopus, Elsevier, Clinical Key dan online datebase lainnya. Kata kunci yang digunakan adalah “Pesan singkat” dan “Tuberculosis”, dan “Pengobatan”. Berdasarkan metode pencarian secara online dan penyeleksian jurnal ilmiah akhirnya dipilih dua belas artikel yang selanjutnya dilakukan telaah, didapatkan bahwa teknologi layanan Short Message Service memberikan manfaat kepatuhan mengkonsumsi OAT dan memberikan informasi kunjungan ulang yang berdampak pada kesembuhan pasien. Pasien dan juga petugas Kesehatan yang menangani TB dapat melayani secara efektif melalui komunikasi dua arah sehingga dapat menekan angka putus obat yang berdampak pada TB-MDR. Penggunaan teknologi layanan SMS sangat memberikan manfaat terhadap kepatuhan pengobatan pada pasien Tuberkulosis.
