9, 6.1 and 0.4, respectively. There was an association between duration of mechanical ventilation (MV; odds ratio [OR] = 1.22; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.12, 1.34; p < 0.01) and length of ICU stay (OR = 1.213; 95% CI 1.107, 1.32; p < 0.01) and VAP. However, there was no difference in the patients between VAP and non-VAP groups in terms of mortality. The VAP rate differs according to the diagnostic criteria. The factors associated with VAP in our centre were increased duration of MV and increased length of ICU stay. There was no difference in the mortality rate between the VAP and non-VAP groups. The VAP rate differs according to the diagnostic criteria. The factors associated with VAP in our centre were increased duration of MV and increased length of ICU stay.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the major causes of cancer-related mortality in Malaysia. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/cc-90011.html Early screening has proven to be effective in reducing mortality due to CRC. The Malaysian CRC Clinical Practice Guidelines (2017) recommends that immunochemical faecal occult blood test (iFOBT) as the best non-invasive method for screening CRC in asymptomatic or average risk population. Outcome data on CRC screening program in the community is scarce. This study was to evaluate the prevalence and determinants of CRC among patients attending a public primary care health centre who underwent the screening program. Reviews of CRC Screening Registry and medical case record were conducted on patients who underwent CRC screening program at Klinik Kesihatan Mahmoodiah, Johor Bahru (KKMJB) from 2016 to 2018 period. Sociodemographic data, clinical profile of patients, iFOBT results and colonoscopy outcomes were extracted for analysis. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed using IBM SPSS version 25. Out ofBT positive patients progressing to receive definitive colonoscopy and complying to annual surveillance screening. 0.05) CONCLUSION Screening for CRC among average risk groups in primary care should focus on recruiting female patients/clients as an organised activity. Prevalence of CRC detected from screening with iFOBT was 1 per cent. CRC screening programs should focus on proportion of iFOBT positive patients progressing to receive definitive colonoscopy and complying to annual surveillance screening. This study was done to evaluate the visual acuity and quality of life in predicted emmetropia (EM) and predicted residual myopia (RM) patients following phacoemulsification with monofocal intraocular lens implantation. This prospective comparative study was conducted in the ophthalmology clinic of the Universiti Sains Malaysia Hospital, Kelantan, Malaysia. Overall, 139 patients with senile cataract were randomised into EM and RM groups. At three months post-operatively, patients were assessed for distance and near vision, as well as quality of life using a modified VF-14 questionnaire. Thirty-six patients (64.3%) in the EM group and 30 patients (52.6%) in the RM group (p = 0.209) showed good distance vision (LogMAR 0.3 or better). Fifty patients (87.7%) in the RM group and 27 patients (48.2%) in the EM group gained significantly higher satisfactory near vision (p < 0.05). The quality of life in both groups was good, with a mean modified VF-14 score of 94.5 (SD 2.68) for the EM group and 95.1 (SD 3.19) for the RM group (p = 0.286). Female patients scored significantly higher than males for total activities (p = 0.010) and distance vision-related activities (p = 0.001). The RM group had significantly better patient satisfaction for near vision-related activities compared to the EM group (p = 0.001). In particular, the item 'reading small print' was significantly better in the RM group (p = 0.003). Patients in the predicted RM group gained more satisfactory near vision than patients in the EM group, with significantly better quality of life for near vision activities. Patients in the predicted RM group gained more satisfactory near vision than patients in the EM group, with significantly better quality of life for near vision activities. The prevalence of urinary incontinence among pregnant women is high in Malaysia. However, healthcare providers appear to pay little attention to it along with a limited local intervention that addresses the continence health during pregnancy. This study aims to develop and validate intervention with pelvic floor muscle exercise (PFME) for pregnant women. The development of PFME intervention was guided by the Medical Research Council Framework for Developing and Evaluating Complex Intervention (MRC Framework). This involved four phases identification of current research evidence, expert opinion, validation via focus group discussions with physiotherapists and pregnant women, and piloting the intervention using a single group pre-post design among 30 pregnant women at Maternity Hospital Kuala Lumpur to assess the feasibility of the intervention by evaluating changes in knowledge and attitude. The qualitative approach was used to analyse the first three phases, while non-parametric methods were used to analych into the development of the PFME intervention brought novel perspectives to the intervention. Given the promising preliminary results of the pre-testing pilot study, the PFME intervention could be implemented in the planned randomised control trial to validate the robustness of the results. Evidently, this is a pioneer study that illustrates the development of a Malaysian context-adapting PFME intervention on the basis of recommended steps using the MRC Framework. Incorporating a theory-based and rigorous validation approach into the development of the PFME intervention brought novel perspectives to the intervention. Given the promising preliminary results of the pre-testing pilot study, the PFME intervention could be implemented in the planned randomised control trial to validate the robustness of the results. The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of ovarian cancer (OC) diagnosed in a tertiary referral centre in Bali, Indonesia, according to several risk factors. This is a descriptive retrospective study using data from the medical records of patients diagnosed with primary OC who underwent surgery at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Sanglah General Hospital Denpasar, Bali from January 2018 to December 2019. A total of 94 OC or 19.4% from total gynecologic cancer (484 cases) were diagnosed. The characteristics of the majority of OC were as follows 1. Socio demography median age 46.5 years (interquartile range 16.5) and 47.9% (45/94) had low educational level; 2. Hormonal factor 48.9% (46/94) were multiparous, 59.6% (56/94) were premenopausal, and 97.9% (92/94) had never used oral contraceptive pills; 3. Genetic all patients did not have a family history of ovarian cancer; 4. Clinical characteristics 76.6% (72/94) with histologic type of epithelial tumors, 61.7% (58/94) with advanced stage, 74.
