Introduction: COVID-19 is a disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Coronavirus 2), an outbreak in the world in 2019 until now. High cholesterol levels correlate with increasing disease severity in SARS-CoV-2 infection because there is a surge of cases in Gianyar Regency, a district of Taro Village. This study aimed to examine the relationship between age and gender to cholesterol levels which are expected to become information for the people of Taro Village as a basis for health screening to prevent comorbid diseases that increase mortality in SARS-CoV-2 infection and increase awareness of the people of Taro Village to maintain health and implement a healthy lifestyle. Method: Capillary blood was taken and then checked for cholesterol levels using a standardized tool on 44 respondents. The cholesterol check was conducted in Gianyar Regency, precisely in Taro Village, Tegalalang District, and Bali. The data obtained will be analyzed using univariate analysis followed by bivariate analysis using the Spearman correlation test for variables of age and cholesterol levels. In contrast, for variables gender and cholesterol levels, the Mann-Whitney test is performed. Results: A total of 44 individual respondents in this study, the distribution of data, namely the age of the repondent is more in the 41-50 year age group, the number of female respondents is 33 or 75.0% of the total respondent, and 70.5% of the respondent or 31 have normal cholesterol levels. The results of the Spearman test on the variables of age and cholesterol levels obtained a P value>0, 05, and the results of the Mann Withney test on the variables gender and cholesterol levels obtained a P value>0, 05. Conclusion: Most taro villagers have normal cholesterol levels obtained as many as 31 people, or 70.5% of the total respondent. It may be influenced by the work factor of taro villagers who work a lot in the agriculture and plantation sectors. Based on the study results, there is also no significant relationship between age and gender with the cholesterol levels of Taro Villagers. However, high cholesterol levels were only found in females as many as five people.
CHD (Congenital Heart Disease) is still a dangerous disease that causes a high infant mortality rate in the world. Nowadays, there are two groups of actions to treat congenital heart disease, surgical management and non-surgical management. This study discusses Clinical Profile of Post-Operative Treatment Duration in Pediatric Congenital Heart Disease Patients. Fourty medical records used for this analytical descriptive study were obtained from Department of Pediatrics and Department of Thoracic, Cardiac, and Vascular Surgeons, Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia. This study described post operative treatment duration in pediatric congenital heart disease patients. The total patients in the study were 40 pediatric patients with the majority being female, namely 52.50% with higher mortality rate in patients with congenital heart disease with surgical treatment (16.6%). Most patients with CHD in children with surgical and non-surgical treatment were diagnosed in the infant age group (0-5 years), namely 31 patients (77.50%) with 5 surgical treatment patients and 26 non-surgical treatment patients. The majority of patients with congenital heart disease with surgical and non-surgical management in good nutritional status (60.00%). Most cases of cyanotic congenital heart disease are tetralogy of fallot (50%) with all of cases treated with cardiac catheterization for non-surgical treatment, zero case surgical treatment, and 5 cases without surgical or non surgical treatment. Acyanotic cases are ASD (28.56) with 4 cases cardiac catheterization, 2 cases treated with ASO device, and 1 case with ASD closure as surgical treatment. The duration of hospitalization after the procedure was shorter in good nutritional status (3.2 days) in both surgical and non-surgical treatment while shorter duration after procedure also appeared in cases of congenital heart disease with non-surgical treatment (4.25 days). CHD patients with non-surgical treatments have shorter duration compared to patients with surgical treatment. Most CHD cases were TOF for cyanotic and ASD for acyanotic with higher mortality rate in surgical treatment. Good nutritional status were found in both of the CHD treatment. Most CHD patients with surgical and non-surgical treatment were infant, female. Keywords: CHD, Surgical, Non-Surgical, Pediatrics, Treatment Duration
