META ANALYSIS: EFFICACY OF SHORT TERM WEIGHT-LOSS MAINTENANCE WITH FINANCIAL INCENTIVES INTERVENTION

Obesitas telah menjadi penyebab utama meningkatnya penyakit tidak menular. Penggunaan insentif finansial (FI) sangat mendorong gaya hidup sehat. Pola intervensi ini digunakan untuk mendorong perilaku hidup sehat yang bertujuan untuk mencegah dan mengelola penyakit kronis. Kebaruan penelitian ini yaitu meneliti secara meta analisis tentang kemanjuran pemeliharaan penurunan berat badan jangka pendek dengan intervensi insentif keuangan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengkonfirmasi perbedaan hasil antara studi, penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menguji efek keseluruhan dari studi menggunakan intervensi FI pada program penurunan berat badan. Metode yang digunakan adalah Database PubMed untuk mencari data. Data diambil dari studi yang melaporkan perubahan intervensi FI dengan hasil perubahan berat badan. Hasilnya menemukan bahwa 4 studi dengan obesitas dimasukkan. Hasil gabungan menunjukkan bahwa FI berpengaruh signifikan terhadap perubahan berat badan. Terdapat perbedaan peningkatan berat badan yang signifikan pada kelompok intervensi FI dibandingkan dengan kelompok kontrol (SMD: -3,37; CI 95%). Heterogenitas statistik ditemukan (I2 = 99,92%, P = 0,00). Kesimpulan hasil belum menunjukkan efek menguntungkan dari FI jangka pendek selama 3 bulan pada penurunan berat badan pada pasien obesitas. Namun, heterogenitas statistik ditemukan sehingga analisis subkelompok diperlukan.Kata kunci: penurunan berat badan; obesitas; insentif finansial. AbstractObesity has become a major etiology of the increase in non-communicable diseases. The use of financial incentives (FI) has greatly encouraged a healthy lifestyle. This intervention pattern is used to encourage healthy lifestyle behaviors aimed at preventing and managing chronic diseases. The novelty of this study is to examine the meta-analysis of the efficacy of maintaining short-term weight loss with financial incentive interventions. The aim of this study was to confirm differences in results between studies, this study was conducted to examine the overall effect of studies using FI interventions on weight loss programs. The method used is the PubMed Database to search for data. Data were drawn from studies reporting changes in the FI intervention with outcome changes in body weight. The results found that 4 studies with obesity were included. The combined results show that FI has a significant effect on changes in body weight. There was a significant difference in weight gain in the FI intervention group compared to the control group (SMD: -3.37; 95% CI). Statistical heterogeneity was found (I2 = 99.92%, P = 0.00). Conclusion the results have not shown a beneficial effect of short-term FI for 3 months on weight loss in obese patients. However, statistical heterogeneity was found so that a subgroup analysis was needed

NICHE: A Curated Dataset of Engineered Machine Learning Projects in Python

Machine learning (ML) has gained much attention and been incorporated into our daily lives. While there are numerous publicly available ML projects on open source platforms such as GitHub, there have been limited attempts in filtering those projects to curate ML projects of high quality. The limited availability of such a high-quality dataset poses an obstacle in understanding ML projects. To help clear this obstacle, we present NICHE, a manually labelled dataset consisting of 572 ML projects. Based on evidences of good software engineering practices, we label 441 of these projects as engineered and 131 as non-engineered. This dataset can help researchers understand the practices that are followed in high-quality ML projects. It can also be used as a benchmark for classifiers designed to identify engineered ML projects.Comment: Accepted by MSR 202

Comparison of Germ Patterns and Antimicrobial Susceptibility in Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media with Cholesteatoma and without Cholesteatoma in Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Hospital.

Introduction: Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a chronic inflammation of the middle ear and mastoid cavity. It is necessary to identify bacterial patterns and antibiotics susceptibility in CSOM. Appropriate administration of antibiotics is essential to treat infection and prevent widespread resistance. Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the pattern of germs and antibiotic susceptibility between CSOM with cholesteatoma and without cholesteatoma. Methods: Observational study with cross-sectional design. Data collection was carried out using medical record data on 102 subjects who underwent middle ear swab and bacterial culture from January to December 2019. Results: From 102 subjects and 122 bacterial culture results. it was found that Pseudomonas aeruginosa (36.1%) was one of the most common organisms to cause CSOM. followed by Staphylococcus haemolyticus. Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus. There was a significant difference between the germ pattern and the type of CSOM (p = 0.002). Amikacin. meropenem. gentamicin. cefepime. ciprofloxacin and ceftazidime were found to be the most effective antibiotics for Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The rate of resistance to tigecycline and cefazoline were highest. Age. sex. nutritional status and comorbidities were not factors that significantly influenced the incidence of cholesteatoma in CSOM. Conclusion: There is a significant difference between the germ pattern in both CSOM groups. Patients that show Gram negative have a significant effect on the incidence of CSOM with cholesteatoma

Factors Affecting Intratympanic Corticosteroids Injection Therapy Results in Sudden Deafness Patients at Dr Mohammad Hoesin Hospital Palembang

Background. Sudden deafness is an emergency in the Ear Nose Throat Department, a subset of sensorineural hearing loss within a 72-hour window period and consists of a decrease in hearing of 30 decibels affecting at least three consecutive frequencies. The therapy given is corticosteroids, systemic corticosteroids or intratympanic corticosteroids injection, or both. The prognosis of sudden deafness depends on several factors. Patient with sudden hearing loss does not always have the same result in hearing improvement. This study was aimed to determine the factors that affect the results of intratympanic corticosteroid injection therapy in patients with sudden deafness.Methods. This study is an observational study with a cross-sectional design. The data were collected using medical records on 96 ears given intratympanic corticosteroid injection therapy at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Hospital Palembang from July 2018 to February 2021.Results. From 96 ears conducted in the study, the improvement of therapeutic results on intratympanic corticosteroid injection in patients with sudden deafness was 72.9%. The study found factors that influenced the outcome of therapy, namely age (p=0.002), the onset of therapy (p = 0.003), and the use of a combination of systemic steroids (p=0.010). From the logistic regression test, it was found that the factors that most influenced the results of intratympanic corticosteroid injection therapy were young age 18-40 years (p=0.016) with (OR) 6.654 (CI95% 1.418-31.222) and therapy onset less than two weeks (p=0.027) with (OR) 3.108 (95% CI 1.134-8.515).Conclusions. The factors associated with the improvement in the outcome of intratympanic corticosteroid injection therapy in patients with sudden hearing loss were patient age and early onset of therapy

Risk Factors for Congenital Deafness in Pediatric Patients Who Underwent Otoaccoustic Emission (OAE) and Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) Examinations in General Hospital Mohammad Hoesin Palembang, Indonesia

Introduction: Congenital deafness is a hearing loss that occurs at birth. Congenital deafness in neonates can be caused by risk factors during pregnancy and during the birth process. The tests carried out for hearing screening for neonates in hospital up to 1 month old are Otoaccoustic Emission (OAE) and Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) examinations. Objective: Determining the relationship between family history of deafness, syndromes associated with sensorineural hearing loss, TORCH infection and prenatal syphilis, use of ototoxic drugs during pregnancy, prematurity, low birth weight, asphyxia, and hyperbilirubinemia with the incidence of congenital deafness in children Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted based on medical record datas from children who underwent OAE and ABR examinations at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang hospital from January 2019 to February 2021. Results: From the 349 children, 180 (51.6%) had bilateral OAE and ABR pass results, 161 (46.1%) had bilateral referrals and 8 (2.3%) children received unilateral refer results. From 122 children with risk factors, 38 (31.1%) children with bilateral passes, 81 (66.4%) children with bilateral referrals and 3 (2.5 %) children with unilateral refer. From 227 children without risk factors, 142 (62.6 %) children with a bilateral pass, 80 (35.2 %) children with bilateral referrals and 5 (2.2%) children with unilateral refer. The most common risk factor was LBW of 41 (11.7%) children. Chi square test and logistic regression analysis results showed a significant relationship between ototoxic drugs during pregnancy and congenital deafness (p = 0.001) with referral results, the value of Odd Ratio (OR) 9.651. Conclusions: There is a significant relationship between risk factors for ototoxic drugs during pregnancy, TORCH and syphilis infection during pregnancy, asphyxia, congenital syndrome, LBWand hyperbilirubinemia with congenital deafness
