BackgroundA three-fold increase in the incidence of detecting pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients hospitalised with COVID-19 pneumonia compared that general population was recently reported; however, this finding may be due to admission bias diagnostic investigation. The current cohort study aimed estimate risk having detectable active PTB after SARS-CoV-2 infection.MethodsInsurance claims data lower Southern Thailand from 12th regional National Health Security Office, Thailand, were used....

Abstract Paediatric septic shock is a life-threatening condition with high global morbidity and mortality rates. Prior guidelines for paediatric demonstrated varying levels of effectiveness. In 2017, the institutional were established, emphasizing three pivotal components: prompt recognition, early appropriate resuscitation, organ support intensive stabilization. Herein, we aimed to assess effect on clinical outcomes. This single-centre retrospective cohort study investigating pre-...

Background There are no recent studies comparing the compliance rates of both patients and observers in tuberculosis treatment between video-observed therapy (VOT) directly observed (DOT) programs. Objective This study aims to compare average number days that with pulmonary their were compliant under VOT DOT. In addition, this sputum conversion rate Methods Patient observer DOT programs compared based on a 60-day cluster randomized controlled trial (VOT: n=63 DOT: n=65) positive acid-fast...

Background Directly observed therapy programs for monitoring tuberculosis (TB) treatment in Thailand are unsustainable, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The current video-observed (VOT) system, Thai VOT (TH VOT), was developed to replace directly program. Objective This study aimed describe system design and identify potential improvements. Methods pilot conducted Na Yong district, a small district Trang province, south of Thailand. TH consists smartphone app patients, secured...

In Thailand, the health care system has struggled to cope with COVID-19, resulting in directly observed therapy for tuberculosis being de-emphasized. A video-observed (VOT) system, or more specifically, Thai VOT (TH VOT) was developed replace therapy. According pilot study, needed notifications improve usability and user compliance. The updated version of TH thus enabled LINE (Line Corporation) notifications.This study aimed reassess users' compliance system.This conducted Hat Yai Mueang...

Due to the data scarcity in low- and middle-income countries, we aimed examine incidence rate of myocarditis pericarditis within 30 days after each dose homologous (3 × BNT162b2) heterologous prime-boost (2 BBIBP-CorV/BNT162b2) vaccine regimen among individuals younger than 40 years.

Background Graduate students in medical fields must learn about epidemiology and data analysis to conduct their research. R is a software environment used develop run packages for statistical analysis; it can be challenging because of compatibility with computers problems package installations. Jupyter Notebook was R, which enhanced the graduate students’ ability epidemiological by providing an interactive collaborative that allows more efficient effective learning. Objective This study...

The health care system in Thailand has struggled to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting decreased administration of community-based directly observed therapy (DOT) for tuberculosis (TB). As an alternative failed DOT, video-observed (VOT) or Thai asynchronous VOT system, "TH VOT," was devised. We developed a protocol study test superiority over DOT ensuring treatment compliance.We aim compare mean cumulative compliance days TB patients and their observers under program that individuals...

Background The durability of heterologous COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness (VE) has been primarily studied in high-income countries, while evaluation policies low- and middle-income countries remains limited. Objective We aimed to evaluate the duration during which VE regimens mitigating serious outcomes, specifically severe death following hospitalization with COVID-19, over 50%. Methods formed a dynamic cohort by linking records Thai citizens aged ≥18 years from citizen vital, vaccine, cases...

<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Introduction</bold> Endotracheal intubation can be difficult or even fail under certain patient and intubator conditions. During the COVID-19 pandemic a country-wide lockdown policy was enforced in Thailand which stipulated that intubators wear personal protective equipment, powered air purifying respirator, goggles surgical/N95 mask during procedure. Thus clad, an intubator’s vision is restricted grip on equipment less sure. Under these conditions, incidence of...

Abstract Background Coronary artery angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are superior to non-invasive approaches in reducing mortality patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, their efficacy remains uncertain non-ST-elevation acute syndromes (NSTE-ACS) limited low-resource settings. This study aimed compare in-hospital 5-year rates between a first event of STEMI NSTE-ACS who underwent CAG PCI those similar severity did not undergo...

Endotracheal intubation can be difficult or even fail under certain patient and anaesthesiologist conditions. During the COVID-19 pandemic a country-wide lockdown policy was enforced in Thailand which stipulated that anaesthesiologists wear personal protective equipment, powered air purifying respirator, goggles surgical/N95 mask during procedure. Thus, an anaesthesiologist's vision is restricted grip on equipment less sure. Under these conditions, incidence of expected to increase. This...

Delayed diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) increases mortality and extends the duration disease transmission. This study aimed to identify significant ICD-10 admission diagnoses preceding TB. All hospital electronic medical records from fiscal year 2015 2020 in Songkhla Province, Thailand were retrieved. After excluding diabetes HIV patients, a case-control analysis was performed. Exposures interest on admissions 1–12 months prior visit during which TB detected. Incident cases respiratory...

Tuberculosis (TB) and COVID-19 are highly transmissible diseases pose a serious risk to public health. Unfortunately, information on cross-risk between the two was still sparse. Our main objective estimate excess among TB patients in getting infection vice versa.The study design series of analyses existing data from registries East Java Province, Indonesia.
