Abstrak (OR = 2,6; p = 0,052), dan juga hipertensi (OR = 1,758; p = 0,498). IMT berhubungan dengan hipertensi (OR = 3,354; p = 0,041), tetapi tidak berhubungan dengan prehipertensi (OR = 2,343; p = 0,099). Kesimpulan: Prevalensi prehipertensi dan hipertensi cukup tinggi pada dewasa muda di pelayanan kesehatan dasar di daerah pedesaan. Intervensi untuk mencegah penyakit yang lebih lanjut perlu dilakukan sejak dini dengan modifikasi gaya hidup karena tekanan darah berhubungan dengan faktor risiko yang dapat diubah, AbstractBackground: Prehypertension and hypertension were related with many complications of nearly every organ, but often neglected by young adults in rural area. This research was done to observe the prevalence of prehypertension and hypertension among young adult in a primary health care of rural area at Cicurug, Sukabumi District, West Java.

Background Anemia in children and adolescents affects growthand development. It is a preventable disease, but unfortunately isoften ignored until the symptoms occur. There have been limitedreports on the prevalence of anemia in children and adolescentsin Indonesia, especially from rural areas.Objective To describe the prevalence of anemia in children andadolescents in district ofMalinau, a rural area in East KalimantanProvince.Methods This cross-sectional study was done in June 20 10 usinglaboratory records between July 2009 to January 20 10. Laboratoryrecords of patients aged between 6 months and 18 years whichinvestigated were complete blood count (CBC) from ambulatory,inpatient, and emergency care ofMalinau Public Hospital in EastKalimantan. Mentzer and England & Fraser indices were used todifferentiate iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and thalassemia amongmicrocytic hypochromic anemic patients.Results This study involved 709 laboratory records. Prevalenceof anemia was 53 .9% (95% CI 50.2% to 57 .5%) . The prevalenceof IDA among age groups were as follows: 29.4% (95% CI 24.3to 34.5%) in 6- 59 months group, 16% (95% CI 11 to 21 %) in5- 11.9 years, and 15.2% (95% CI 10.2 to 20.2%) in 12- 18 years.Children aged 6- 59 months tended to have more anemia th anthose aged 5- 11.9 years (OR 2. 184, 95% CI 1.398 to 3.413) oraged 12- 18 years (OR 2.3 19, 95% CI 1.464 to 3.674).Conclusion T he prevalence of an emia in children andadolescents of the Malinau Regency is 53 .9% (95% CI 50.2 to57.5%), quite similar to that of other developing countries . Agovernment program to overcome anemia is recommended, n otonly for pregnant women, but also for children and adolescents.

Latar belakang. Belum ada pemeriksaan penunjang yang dapat memastikan diagnosis penyakit Kawasaki (PK) yang saat ini ditegakkan menggunakan kriteria klinis. Pemeriksaan penunjang tambahan dapat membantu dalam menegakkan diagnosis, meskipun tidak definitif.Tujuan. Mengetahui apakah foto toraks dapat digunakan sebagai alat bantu diagnostik pada  penyakit Kawasaki.Metode. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian retrospektif data rekam medis pasien penyakit Kawasaki di beberapa rumah sakit sejak Januari 2003 hingga Desember 2018. Kriteria inklusi adalah anak yang memenuhi kriteria diagnostik penyakit Kawasaki dari American Heart Association baik komplit maupun inkomplit serta memiliki data lengkap klinis, ekokardiografi dan foto toraks.Hasil.Terdapat 916 subyek yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan 786 (86%) diantaranya memiliki kelainan foto toraks. Kelainan terbanyak yang dijumpai adalah bercak infiltrat bilateral (84%). Tidak ada perbedaan bermakna pada frekuensi kelainan foto dada pada PK komplit maupun inkomplit.Kesimpulan. Tingginya angka kejadian kelainan paru pada foto toraks anak dengan PK, maka foto toraks dapat digunakan sebagai alat diagnostik tambahan pada kasus PK inkomplit.

BACKGROUND Encephalitis is more frequent in children and has a poor outcome. There was no data on encephalitis in children in Indonesia, so this study was aimed to evaluate clinical presentation and diagnostic examination of children with acute encephalitis, and factors related to outcome. METHODS This was a retrospective study of medical records between 2014 and 2018 in three referral hospitals in Jakarta and Tangerang. Clinical presentation at admission, cerebrospinal fluid analysis, neuroimaging, and electroencephalography (EEG) were documented. Outcome was determined at hospital discharge and classified as poor for severe neurological abnormalities at discharge or died. Logistic regression was used to evaluate associated factors with the outcome. RESULTS A total of 190 children were included and most were age >1 year (71%). Most subjects presented with fever (90%) and seizures (87%). Of those who had seizures, 80% experienced generalized seizures. Focal neurological deficit was seen in 90 patients (47%). EEG was positive in 90% subjects (n = 27/30). Probable cases were found in 51% of all subjects. The mortality was 23%. Focal seizures (odds ratio [OR] = 3.305, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.122–9.742) and age >1 year (OR = 3.076, 95% CI = 1.388–6.803) were risk factors for a poor outcome. CONCLUSIONS Acute encephalitis occurred most often in children aged >1 year. Fever and seizures were the most common symptoms. EEG was better than other examinations for confirming diagnosis of encephalitis. Focal seizures and age >1 year were associated with a three-fold increased risk for a poor outcome.
