The CORRELATION OF ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE WITH PROGRESS TEST SCORE IN PRECLINIC STUDENTS

Fuad Khadafianto, Itsna Chairunnisa — Fri, 31 May 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Background : A problem-based learning curriculum is a curriculum that starts with problems and then studies to gain knowledge and skills. One of the curriculum weaknesses is that the students prefer clinical to basic medical knowledge. Student knowledge will be good if they have understood basic knowledge in the learning process. However, students often experience a decrease in basic knowledge retention, so evaluating using an assessment is necessary. In medical education, assessment can be either summative or formative. Assessment of basic medical science can be seen from the summative assessment of GPA scores in the first year, while formative scores in the phase 1 progress test (PT) scores. In addition to assessments, retention of basic medical science at the Faculty of Medicine at the Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII) is also supported by a spiral curriculum design. A good performance in basic medical science in the first year is expected to have good retention in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th phase PT scores (basic medical content).

Objectives: Knowing the correlation between first-year academic performance and phase 1 PT scores (basic medical content) to 1, 2, 3 and 4 in preclinical students at the FK UII.

Method: This study is an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design. The sampling technique used purposive sampling on FK UII students in 2018, 2019 and 2020 (n = 471). Secondary data collection was taken from the academic division of FK UII. Correlation analysis using the Spearman test.

Results: The results of the correlation between the academic performance and PT (phase 1) to 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th scores are significant (p <0.01). In the 2018 students, there is a weak correlation at 1st PT (phase 1) (r = 0.231), 2nd PT (phase 1) is a strong correlation (r = 0.664), 3rd PT (phase 1) is a weak correlation (r = 0.378) and 4th PT (phase 1) is a moderate correlation (r = 0.490). In the 2019 students, 1st PT (phase 1) is a weak correlation (r = 0.266), 2nd PT (phase 1) is a strong correlation (r = 0.607), and 3rd PT (phase 1) is a moderate correlation (r = 0.426). In the class of 2020, 1st PT (phase 1) has a moderate correlation (r = 0.493), and 2nd PT (phase 1) has a weak correlation (r = 0.322).

Conclusion: There is a correlation between academic performance and progress test scores in preclinical students at the medical faculty, Universitas Islam Indonesia.

Yemima Graciela, Dian Wisnuwardhani, Ismi Adhanisa Hamdani — Fri, 31 May 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Background: Tuberculous meningoencephalitis (TBME) is a rare extrapulmonary TB that accounted for less than 1-2% with high mortality and morbidity rate. Loss of follow-up (LTFU) TB cases are also associated with worse prognosis, treatment failure, drug-resistant cases, decompensations, and complications. The objective of this study is to present a TBME case in LTFU patient as both conditions are correlated with worse outcomes for the patient.

Case report: A 20-year-old man with a history of discontinued TB therapy presented to the emergency room (ER) with complaints of depressed consciousness, absence seizure, fever, shivers, nausea, vomiting, and holo-cranial headache. The diagnosis of TBME was confirmed by contrast-enhanced radiological findings, detection of M. tuberculosis in sputum, and blood investigations. Early initiation of anti-tuberculous drugs was given and showed marked clinical improvement followed by complete relief after a month follow-up.

Conclusion: TBME should be diagnosed in patients living in high-rate TB countries with presumptive symptoms and signs supported by laboratory investigations as well as radiological findings to initiate early treatment. LTFU patients should be monitored with family or social group support while improving TB regimens in healthcare facilities.

Keywords: Tuberculosis, meningoencephalitis, loss-to-follow up

Attiya Istarini — Fri, 31 May 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Background: Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to various pain conditions, including chronic low back pain. The role of vitamin D for the health of the musculoskeletal system involves the downregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines that contribute to pain and the upregulation of anti-inflammatory cytokines that help reduce inflammation. Hypovitaminosis D can result from various factors, including age, low exposure to sunlight, dietary factors and genetic.

Objectives: This study aimed to determine vitamin D levels in chronic low back pain patients.

Methods: This research is an observational study with a cross sectional design. The population was all patients with chronic low back pain for more than 3 months. All samples underwent a total Vitamin D 25-OH examination using the Enzyme Linked Fluorescent Assay (ELFA).

Results: This study found that the majority of participants are elderly women (73.5%) aged 56-65 years (30.6%). In this study 59.2% of participants had vitamin D deficiency and 30.6% had vitamin D insufficiency. Based on radiological examination, 34.7% had lumbar osteoarthritis.

Conclusion: Patient with chronic low back pain had low level of vitamin D. Adequate sunlight exposure, dietary intake, and supplementation when necessary are essential strategies to prevent vitamin D deficiency and its associated health risks in the aging population.

Key words: Chronic low back pain, Vitamin D
