Abstract

Background: The problem of heart failure patient relates with reduced functional capacity and eventually leads to declined quality of life (QoL). Improved QoL may not relate to better functional capacity since QoL is influenced by patient’s expectation to the on-going treatment. This study was conducted to investigate the correlation between  six-minutes’ walk test (6MWT) as a measure for functional capacity and QoL of heart failure patient in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital.Methods: This cross sectional study involved 32 patients who were on planned visit at the outpatient clinic of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung from September to October 2013. Subjects were chosen using consecutive sampling. The correlation of 6MWT and QoL assessed using modified Minnesota Living and Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) was analyzed through Pearson’s correlation test.Results: There was a significant correlation between distance covered in 6MWT and QoL (r=-0.354, p<0.05).The mean of six-minute walk distance was 277.96 (±42.17) and mean of QoL score was 33.41 (±7.88). In accordance with the findings in previous studies, this study revealed correlation between the distance obtained in 6MWT and the QoL score in heart failure patient.Conclusions: There is correlation between 6MWT and quality of life in outpatients with heart failure at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital.

Abstract

Introduction: The femtosecond Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis (fs-LASIK) procedure iscommonly used for myopia correction because of good efficacy, safety, and predictability. The aim ofthis study was to compare the outcome of the fs-LASIK procedure among myopia groups in CicendoEye Hospital from January to December 2021.Methods: This retrospective study included 212 patients (399 eyes) and the data were obtained frommedical records from January 2021 to December 2021 using ICD-10 coding for LASIK (S0800),consisting of fs-LASIK procedures. The outcome variables were safety index, and efficacy index.Results: The median of safety index was not statistically significant different between groups,1,00(0,50-1,67) in low myopia, 1,00(0,20-1,43) in moderate myopia, and 1,00(0,30-3,33) in highmyopia. The median of efficacy index was statistically significant different between groups, 1,00(0,40-1,67) in low myopia, 1,00(0,20-1,43) in moderate myopia, and 1,00(0,30-3,33) in high myopia. Theproportion of eye with UCVA > 6/12 on the first month after the procedure was higher in the mildmyopia group (223;99,2%) than in moderate myopia (87;98,8%) and high myopia (77;88,5%) withp=0,0001. The proportion of eye with BCVA > 6/12 on the first month after the procedure was alsohigher in the mild myopia group (224;100%) than in moderate myopia (87;98,8%) and high myopia(82;94,3%) with p=0,0001.Conclusion: There was no statistically significant difference of the safety index between groups. Theefficacy index was statistically significant different between groups.Keywords: efficacy index, LASIK, myopia, outcome, safety index

Abstract

Introduction : Lentiglobus is a lens deformation characterized by spherical bulging of the lens surface. The weakness of the posterior capsule in the lentiglobus makes the surgery challenging. We present a case of bilateral posterior lentiglobus and its management. Case Illustration : A 5-year-old boy was presented with the chief complaint of gradually blurred vision since 1 year ago. Visual acuity were 0.1 and closed face finger counting in the right and left eyes, respectively. An ophthalmology examination revealed lens opacities with partially reabsorbed lens material and protrusion of the lens surface posteriorly in both eyes (figure 1). The patient was diagnosed with developmental cataracts of the membranous type and posterior lentiglobus in both eyes. The patient underwent a surgical intervention for cataract extraction with aspiration technique. A spontaneous posterior capsule rupture was found with a shape like a lentiglobus. An anterior vitrectomy was performed. An intraocular lens was implanted. At one month after surgery, the best corrected visual acuities were 0.5 in both eyes (figure 2). Discussion : Several difficulties can be encountered during pediatric cataract surgery with the posterior lentiglobus morphology because of the thin or ruptured capsule. Previous studies have found preoperative and intraoperative posterior capsule rupture in 25% and 3.13% of lentiglobus cases, respectively. Hydrodissection should be avoided due to the weakness of the posterior capsule. ConclusionAppropriate surgical techniques to anticipate posterior capsule defects in the lentiglobus are required to produce a favorable outcome.
