Abstract

When the COVID-19 outbreak is ongoing, the classification of COVID-19 patients based on the severity assessment is necessary to optimize the allocation of existing resources and early management interventions to improve prognosis. Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR) are two of the most common, simple, inexpensive, rapid, and widely available tests in all health facilities, which indirectly indicate the inflammatory status of COVID-19 patients. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between NLR and PLR with the severity of COVID-19 inpatients. This cross-sectional study was conducted retrospectively using medical record data of COVID-19 patients hospitalized at Al Islam Hospital, Bandung, from January to March 2021. COVID-19 patients involved in this study were classified into moderate, severe, and critical degrees. Statistical analysis was carried out using ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis and Spearman with a significant value of p < 0.05. The median NLR and PLR results based on the severity were 3.49; 6.27; 8.4 (p<0.001) and 159.2; 202.6; 250.9 (p<0001), respectively. There was a correlation between NLR and PLR and the severity with r= 0.415 (p<0.001) and r=0.216 (p<0.001), respectively. The correlation between NLR and the severity was stronger than PLR. Therefore, it was concluded that there was a correlation between NLR and PLR with the severity of COVID-19 patients.

Abstract

COVID-19 is a respiratory infection caused by a new strain of Coronavirus, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which is highly contagious, primarily through respiratory droplets and contact. Typical symptoms include fever, cough, and shortness of breath. Weakness, nausea, and vomiting are often accompanied by respiratory symptoms but are sometimes confusing when these symptoms occur without respiratory symptoms. COVID-19 can affect any age group, are more common in adults and males and increase in patients with comorbidities. One of the most common comorbidities is Diabetes Mellitus (DM). A 40-year-old male patient complained of fever and weakness for three days. Nausea and vomiting since nine days before hospital admission, accompanied by painful swallowing, heartburn, and decreased appetite. History of going out of town and eating with friends 14 days before access to the hospital. 3 3 Laboratory examination results: 6600 leukocytes/mm , 264,000/mm platelets, NLR 2.3, 209 mg/dL of blood glucose, HbA1C 8.6%, SGOT 67 IU/L, SGPT 102 IU/L, IgG SARS-CoV-2 reactive, positive TCM SARS-CoV-2 (N2 Ct 18 and E Ct 20.3), and the duration of negative conversion of RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2 results was 19 days. The SARS-CoV-2 virus not only infects pneumocytes but also gastrointestinal, pancreatic, and endothelial cells via ACE2 receptors in DM patients, causing increased cell wall permeability to foreign pathogens and viral replication in the gastrointestinal lining cells. Subsequent enterocyte invasion causes malabsorption resulting in enteric symptoms. Uncontrolled glycemia conditions can slow viral shedding, so the length of negative conversion of RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2 results is prolonged. Based on the data above, the diagnosis in this patient was COVID-19 (symptomatic non-respiratory) with type 2 DM.

Abstract

The automatic platelet count sometimes requires confirmation on the peripheral blood smear. Platelet count estimation can also be used for reporting platelet count if an automatic cell counter is not available, with an estimation factor according to the Field Number (FN) of the microscope used. This study aimed to determine the platelet count estimation factor based on peripheral blood smear confirmation using an FN 22 microscope. An observational cross-sectional study was carried out in patients who had routine hematological and peripheral blood smear examinations during September 2021 by determination of platelet count using the automatic cell counter method and an average number of platelet counts per field of view with 100x objective magnification. The estimation factor is the total ratio divided by sample size. The total ratio of 254 samples was 4.086. The platelet count estimation factor was 16, indicating that 1 platelet per field of view was equivalent to 16x103/µL. There was a very strong significant correlation between mean platelet count per field of view and platelet count using the automatic cell counter (p<0.001, R>0.750). The field number is the image diameter of the microscope eyepiece. The latest generations of microscope use FN 20 or more, which provides a wider field of view, enabling the observation of more platelets. Factor estimation was used to determine the estimated platelet count on a peripheral blood smear. A big difference between automatic cell counter and peripheral blood smear might indicate pre-analytic, analytic, and post-analytic errors. The platelet count estimation factor based on peripheral blood smear confirmation using the FN 22 microscope was 16. Each laboratory needs to determine the estimation factor according to the FN microscope used.

Abstract

The value of D-dimer value, lactic acid levels, and the results of blood gas analysis (PaO2, PCO2, PH, and PaO2/FiO2) are prognostic factors for COVID-19 patients, although there is no agreement on the optimum cut-off point for specificity and sensitivity. The aim of this study is to examine D-dimer value, lactic acid levels, and the results of blood gas analysis as a prognosis for patients with severe or critical COVID-19. This was a retrospective study of the medical records of the UGM Academic Hospital. Overall survival was assessed by the Kaplan-Meier curve. Determination of the cut-off for D-dimer, lactic acid, and BGA variables was carried out using the ROC followed by calculating the Youden index. Then the hazard ratio was determined by Cox regression. The cut-off value to determine the group of patients on the D-dimer and lactic acid variable was 881 ng/mL (sensitivity 77.23%, specificity 32.31%) (p=0.040) and 21 ng/mL, patients with lactic acid values above the cut-off had a higher risk of death (p=0.391). The cut-off of pH, PaO2, and PaCO2 were 7.43, 72.2 mmHg, and 33.9, respectively. D-dimer levels, lactic acid, and PaCO2 values in blood gas analysis above the cut-off value had a worse survival rate, while patients also had a worse survival rate if the PaO2 and PH values were below the cut-off value.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has drawn global attention as its main health issue. The rapid transmission and the diverse degree of severity have caused complicacy in controlling the disease. A hematological lab test has been a standard procedure done during therapy. This study aimed to determine the relation of the hematological parameter as a COVID-19 mortality predictor. The cohort retrospective method was used for this study by observing the medical records of critically ill COVID-19 patients admitted at Dr. Moewardi Hospital, Surakarta, from May 2020 to June 2021. The observed variables in this study were age, gender, comorbidities, and hematological lab test towards the outcome. The results were then analyzed bivariate and multivariate with SPSS. Out of 161 data, 101 were found alive and 60 deceased. Bivariate analysis showed that age of 50-80 years (RR= 2.246; p=0.029), comorbidities (RR=2.891; p=0.008), leucocyte>9850/µl (RR=2.634; p=0.004), neutrophil percentage >84.25% (RR=4.808; p=0.000), lymphocyte percentage<22% (RR=0.065; p=0.008), and NLR>9.326 (RR=5.031; p=0.000) had a relationship with the outcome. Gender, hemoglobin level, and platelet did not significantly correlate with the patient's outcome. Multivariate analysis showed that a history of comorbidities (RR=2.9326; p=0.012) and NLR >9.326 (RR=5.073; p=0.000) were proven to be a good predictor for mortality of COVID-19 patients. This result can be advantageous for clinicians in predicting the mortality of COVID-19 patients.

Abstract

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Knowing the severity of COVID-19 is important during a pandemic. Measurement of Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) levels is a simple, quick, and widely available laboratory test in most health facilities. Lactate dehydrogenase levels change significantly in patients with tissue damage including COVID-19 disease. The purpose of this study was to analyze the LDH levels as a marker of the severity of COVID-19. The research method used was a cross-sectional approach using primary data from 70 suspected COVID-19 patients from June to July 2021 at Labuang Baji Hospital, Hasanuddin University Hospital, and Makassar City Hospital. Samples were grouped into mild, moderate, and severe COVID-19. The LDH levels at the time of hospital admission were measured using an Architect device. Chi-Square, Kruskal-Wallis, and ROC curve statistical tests were used to obtain the LDH value with a significant value of p<0.05. The sample consisted of 24 mild COVID-19, 23 moderate COVID-19, and 23 severe COVID-19. The LDH levels in mild COVID-19 were 101.00 U/L (74.00-156.00 U/L) significantly different from moderate COVID-19 was 143.00 U/L (126.00-253.00 U/L) and COVID-19 were 291.00 U/L (177.00-655.00 U/L) (p<0.001) and had a very strong positive correlation (r=0.914). The ROC curve showed that LDH had a sensitivity of 91.3%, specificity of 94.7% with the cut-off >250.5 U/L, NPV of 96.4%, PPV of 87.5%, and accuracy of 91.3%. LDH levels increase along with the increasing severity of COVID-19 caused by tissue damage due to increased inflammatory response. LDH can be used as a marker of COVID-19 severity.

Abstract

Low Birth Weight (LBW) newborns face a risk of iron deficiency. Iron deficiency hinders growth, and motoric, and cognitive development. Newborns with LBW sometimes suffer from inflammation, which affects the commonly used iron measurements. Reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent (Ret-He) is considered a potential tool to measure iron profile because it measures functional iron, and it is not affected by inflammation. This study compared the Ret-He in LBW and normal birth weight newborns. This cross-sectional study was done retrospectively by observing and comparing the hematology data of newborns from November to December 2019. The difference in Ret-He level was assessed using a non-parametric test. Out of 70 newborns, 26 were normal and 44 were LBW. The proportion of LBW newborns with anemia was higher than the proportion of normal ones (29.6% vs 7.7%, p=0.03). The median value of Ret-He in LBW was lower compared to normal birth weight (32.6 vs 33.3 pg, p=0.09), however, the values were still within the normal limits. Five from 70 of these newborns' Ret-He levels were under the reference range (7.14%). There was found that CRP levels were higher in LBW newborns than normal ones (5.6% vs 5%, p=0.98). There was a positive correlation between Ret-He and the birth weight of the newborns (r= 0.34, p =<0.01). There was no significant difference in Ret-He levels of LBW compared to normal babies. Further research is needed with a larger sample size to better assess the association of Ret-He and iron profiles in newborns.

Abstract

Obesity is a condition of excess body fat mass with cardiometabolic complications. The levels of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) decrease in obesity because it is stored in adipose tissue compartments and is related to dyslipidemia conditions. A high triglyceride/HDL-cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio in obesity is related to dyslipidemia. Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI) is one of the parameters indicating central obesity related to visceral fat distribution in dyslipidemia conditions. This study aimed to prove a correlation between TG/HDL-C ratio and VAI with 25(OH)D levels in obese females. Observational study with cross-sectional design in 66 female patients. HDL-C examinations and triglyceride using the enzymatic colorimetry method. The TG/HDL-C ratio was calculated by dividing TG by HDL. The equation obtained visceral adiposity index (WC/(36.58+(1.89xBMI)) x (TG/0.81) x (1.52/HDL). 25(OH)D examinations used the Enzyme Linked Fluorescent Immunoassay (ELFA) method. Relationship status used the spearman rank test (p<0.05). Median 25(OH) levels were 9.75 (8-18.6)ng/mL. There was a weak negative correlation between TG/HDL-C ratio with 25(OH)D levels in obese females (p=0.020; r= -0.287) and VAI with 25(OH)D in obese females (p=0.019; r= 0.287). There was a weak negative correlation between TG/HDL ratio and VAI with 25(OH)D in obese female patients.

Abstract

 C-peptide is part of the, which its amounts were equal to endogenous insulin secreted by pancreatic β cells. Carboplatin is one of the chemotherapy regimens that are widely used to treat gynecological malignancies. Carboplatin may cause the damage of β-islets of Langerhans, which may cause defects in insulin synthesis leading to secondary diabetes mellitus or other types of diabetes mellitus. The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in C-peptide, (which reflects endogenous insulin levels) levels in patients with gynecologic malignancy who underwent carboplatin chemotherapy. This study was a comparative observational study with a cross-sectional design. There was a total of 42 subjects who met the inclusion criteria. Subjects with gynecological malignancy post-carboplatin chemotherapy regimens had lower serum C-peptide levels in group II compared to group I. Serum C-peptide levels can further be used to monitor side effects of carboplatin and can be used as a test to diagnose the other types of diabetes mellitus especially before starting the fourth cycle
