GAMBARAN LUARAN TERAPI OAT PADA PASIEN TB ANAK DIAGNOSTIK SKORING DAN PASIEN TB ANAK DIAGNOSTIK KLINIS DI RSUD PANEMBAHAN SENOPATI
Abstract
Background: Indonesia has high burden of tuberculosis and environment that
promotes tuberculosis transmission, from adults to children. Bacteriological
confirmation of pediatric tuberculosis remains difficult due to unavailability of
diagnostic facilities, difficulties in obtaining samples, and poor performance in
smear microscopy. Scoring table has been used to help with the diagnosis, yet it
lacks sensitivity and spesificity.
Purpose: This study was done to view the output of anti-tuberculosis therapy done
to patients with score ≥6 and patients with score less than 6 in Panembahan
Senopati Hospital.
Methods: This study used analytic observtional approach with retrospective
cross-sectional design. Sampling method used was consecutive sampling.
Obtained data was analyzed using independent t test and chi-square.
Results: Seventy three data of tuberculosis patients in 2014, 2015, and 2016 were
obtained in February 2017. The results from data analysis suggests that there are
no significant difference between both groups' output; with mean weight
increment 2.3kg in patients with score ≥6 and 2.234kg in patients with score less
than 6 (p=0.986) and improvement of all clinical symptoms; cough, fever, lymph
node enlargement and chest x-ray.
Conclusion: There are no significant differences of anti-tuberculosis output in
both groups. Anti-tuberculosis therapy is allowed to be given considering clinical
symptoms and areas with high prevalence of tuberculosis.
