Increasing incidence of dengue cases in Malaysia over the last few years has been paralleled by increased deaths. Mortality prediction models will therefore be useful clinical management. The aim this study is to identify factors at diagnosis severe that predicts mortality and assess predictive based on these identified factors.This a retrospective cohort confirmed patients were admitted 2014 Hospital Kuala Lumpur. Data baseline characteristics, parameters, laboratory findings collected....
Existing biomarkers such as AST, ALT and hematocrit have been associated with severe dengue but evidence are mixed. Recently, interests in creatine kinase a biomarker risen. These represent several underlying pathophysiological processes dengue. Hence, we aimed to assess ALT, CK identification of the correlational relationship amongst common dengue.This was retrospective cohort study confirmed patients who were warded Kuala Lumpur Hospital between December 2014 January 2015. CK, hematocrit,...
Objective We aimed to analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with psoriasis and determine predictive factors psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Methods This retrospective cohort study was performed among psoriasis. Demographic data were collected. Psoriasis treatment categorized as topical agents, phototherapy, oral therapy, biologics. Predictive PsA development determined using logistic regression analyses. Results included 330 psoriasis, 83 (25%) developed PsA. Thirty-eight (45.8%) who...
Abstract Background: Biological treatments are effective in the management of psoriasis. However, results real-world setting may differ from clinical trials. Objectives: We aimed to evaluate effectiveness biological drugs among patients with psoriasis Malaysia. Methods: This was a retrospective review adult on biologics who were notified Malaysian Psoriasis Registry between 2011 and 2019. Univariate multivariate logistic regression performed identify factors associated response treatment...
Patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) have an increased risk of psychological distress. This cross-sectional study aimed to determine factors associated burden, quality life (QoL) and patient satisfaction among adults living CSU. Participants completed the self-administered Urticaria Activity Score-7 (UAS-7), Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS 21), Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), Short Assessment Patient Satisfaction (SAPS) questionnaires. Multivariate logistic...

Inflammatory markers such as neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and eosinophil count are known prognostic indicators for SJS/TEN severity. This study explored the correlation of systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII), platelet-lymphocyte (PLR) NLR with SCORTEN patient outcomes. A retrospective audit 34 patients (25 SJS, 3 overlap, 6 TEN) was conducted from 2018 to 2022 revealed mean admission values SII 1597 (standard deviation (SD) 1904.18), 6.52 (SD 5.99) PLR 201.74 135.01). Cut-off...
Abstract There has been a rising incidence of skin cancers among Asians in recent years. We present retrospective analysis 106 and analysed the demography, clinical subtypes surgical techniques used for cancer treatment. In our population, were most frequently basal cell carcinomas diagnosed ethnic Chinese patients.
Background: Oesophageal varices are common in patients with liver cirrhosis. A proportion of them develop variceal bleeding which leads to significant morbidity and mortality. Primary prophylaxis has been recommended prevent bleeding. Endoscopic ligation (EVL) non-selective beta blockers (NSBBs) two commonly used modalities primary prophylaxis. However, EVL requires repeated procedures whereas NSBBs equally effective cost less. Our objective was evaluate the effectiveness propranolol as an...

We present a case of 70 year old man with recurrent abdominal pain for one month, which preceded the onset erythematous tender nodules over bilateral lower limbs. After full history taking and extensive investigations, he was subsequently found to have chronic pancreatitis pancreatic duct stone. Skin biopsy showed lobular panniculitis in setting high serum amylase, diagnosed panniculitis. highlight clinical histopathological findings this rare cutaneous manifestation pancreatitis.
Background: Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory condition in which delayed diagnosis will have health impacts including physical and psychological aspects. Thus, identification of risk factors early are crucial clinical practice. In Malaysia, 13.7% patients with underlying psoriasis develop PsA 1 . However, there limited data on the developing these patients, not just Malaysia but also Southeast Asia region. Objectives: To analyse sex, features, comorbidities PsA, predictive...
