"Latar Belakang. Hipoalbuminemia sudah diketahui merupakan faktor prediktor morbiditas dan mortalitas pada pasien usia lanjut dengan pneumonia dan CRP merupakan petanda klinis yang penting pada pneumonia. Namun hubungan antara kadar CRP dengan penurunan kadar albumin, sebagai protein fase akut negatif, saat infeksi akut belum pernah diteliti sebelumnya.Tujuan. Mendapatkan: (1) perbedaan kadar CRP awal perawatan antara pasien dengan daa tanpa penurunan albumin, (2) perbedaan risiko teradinya penurunan albumin antara pasien dengan kadar CRP awal tinggi dan rendah, dan (3) korelasi antara kadar CRP dan albumin saat awal perawatan pada pasien-pasien usia lanjut dengan pneumonia komunitas yang dirawat di rumah sakit.Metodalogi. Stuart potong-lintang dan kohort-prospektif dilakukan pada pasien-pasien usia lanjut (>60 tahun) dengan diagnosis pneumonia komunitas yang dirawat di RSCM, untuk diamati penurunan kadar albuminnya selama 5 hari perawatan. Pasien-pasien dengan keadaan-keadaan yang dapat mempengaruhi kadar albumin dan CRP, serta infeksi selain pn nimcnia komunitas dieksklusi dari penelitian. Penilaian kadar CRP dilakukan pada hari pertama perawatan (cut-off 20 mg/L), sementara penurunan albumin ditentukan dari perubahan kadar albumin selama 5 hari perawatan (cut-off 10%). Analisis statistik dilakukan dengan uji-t independen, uji chi-square, dan uji korelasi sesuai dengan tujuan penelitian.Hasil Utama. Selama periode April-Juni 2005 terkumpul 26 pasien usia lanjut dengan pneumonia komunitas yang masuk perawatan di RSCM. Hanya 23 pasien yang menyelesaikan penelitian sampai 5 hari dengan 17 pasien memiliki kadar CRP awal tinggi, dan didapatkan penurunan albumin >10% pada 7 pasien setelah 5 hari perawatan. Terdapat perbedaan rerata kadar CRP hari-1 diantara kedua kelompok (175,36 mgfL vs 75,67 mg/L; P = 0,026; 1K95% 13,25-186,13 mgfL). Namun tidak didapatkan perbedaan risiko bermakna antara pasien dengan kadar CRP tinggi dengan pasien dengan kadar CRP rendah scat awal dengan terjadinya penurunan albumin saat awal perawatan (RR = 2,12; P = 0,621; 11(95% 0,256-29,07). Tidak didapatkan pula korelasi antara kadar CRP dan albumin saat awal perawatan (r = 0,205, P = 0,314)Kesimpulan. Tingginya kadar CRP awal perawatan berhubungan dengan terjadinya penurunan kadar albumin selama perawatan, namun tidak ada perbedaan risiko terjadinya penurunan albumin selama perawatan antara pasien dengan CRP awal tinggi dan CRP awal rendah, serta tidak ada korelasi antara kadar CRP dan albumin scat awal perawatan pada pasien-pasien usia lanjut dengan pneumonia komunitas yang dirawat di rumah sakit.

Backgrounds. Hypoalbuminemia widely known as a predictive factor for increasing morbidity and mortality in elderly patients, including with pneumonia; while CRP has known as a clinical marker for pneumonia. But relationship between CRP level with decrease of serum albumin level, as a negative acute-phase protein, during acute infection has never been studied before.

Objectives. To found: (1) CRP level difference between patient with and without decreased of serum albumin level, (2) risk for developing decreased of serum albumin level in patients with high CRP compared to patients with low CRP level, and (3) correlation between CRP and albumin level on admission in hospitalized elderly patients with community-acquired pneumonia.

Methods. Cross-sectional and prospective-cohort studies was conducted in hospitalized elderly patients with community-acquired pneumonia that admitted to RSCM, to observed the decreased of serum albumin level in five days of hospitalization. Conditions that known could influence CRP and albumin consentration have been excluded, and other infections as well. CRP level was determined on admission (cut-off 20 mgfL), while decreased of serum albumin was observed for 5 days of hospitalization (cu[-off 10%). Statistical analysis was done by using independent t-test, chi-square test, and correlation test appropriately accord-ing to the objectives of the study.

Main Results. During study period (April to June, 2005) 26 hospitalized elderly patients with community-acquired pneumonia had been included into study, but only 23 of them that finished the study for 5 days. There were 17 patients that have high level of CRP on admission, and 7 patiens that developing decreased of serum albumin level more than 10% in fifth day compared to their serum albumin level on admission. There was significant mean CRP difference among 2 groups (175,36 mgfL vs 75,67 mg/L; P = 0,026; 95%CI 13,25-186,13 mgfL), but there was no risk difference between patients with high and low CRP level on admission for developing decreased albumin level on fifth day of hospitalization (RR = 2,12; P = 0,621; 95%CI 0,256-29,07). And there was no correlation between CRP and albumin level on admission (r = 0,205, P = 0,314)

Conclusions. Patients with high CRP level on admission tend to have decreased of serum albumin level during hospitalization, but there was no risk difference for developing decreased of serum albumin level between patients with high and low CRP level, and there was no correlation between CRP and albumin level on admission in hospitalized elderly patients with community-acquired pneumonia."

Background: It is estimated that 20-40% of cancer patients experience metastases to the central nervous system (CNS). Systemic inflammatory conditions in cancer mediated by cytokines are associated with a decrease in muscle mass. In inflammatory conditions, hepatocyte cells are stimulated to produce the acute-phase protein called c-reactive protein (CRP). Circulating CRP levels increase in over 50% of cancer patients. CRP is believed to be related to a decrease in muscle mass and serves as an early predictor in lean tissue loss. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between CRP levels and the skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) in patients with CNS metastases. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study on cancer patients with CNS metastases at RSCM. Subject characteristics include age, gender, metastases type, primary tumor location, neurological deficits, Karnofsky performance status, comorbidities, infectious diseases, glucocorticoid therapy, undergoing chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery, body mass index (BMI), nutritional status based on BMI and ASPEN criteria, energy intake, protein intake, CRP levels, and skeletal muscle mass index (SMI). An analysis of the relationship between CRP levels and SMI was conducted.

Results: There were 57 patients with CNS metastases. Most subjects were female (56.1%). The median age was 47 years. Metastases was more commonly found in the brain (56.1%), and the most common type of metastasis based on the nervous system location was synchronous (86%). All subjects had oligometastasis, and most primary tumor locations were in the nasopharynx (17.5%), breast (15.8%), and lungs (14%). The most common neurological deficits were cancer pain (68.4%), headaches (56.1%), and limb weakness (43.9%). Most limb weakness was hemiparesis (22.8%). Most Karnofsky performance status was moderately impaired (45.6%), 63.2% had no comorbidities, 68.4% had no infectious diseases, 52.6% were not on glucocorticoid therapy, 75.4% were not undergoing chemotherapy, and 1.8% each were undergoing radiotherapy and surgery. The estimated mean BMI was 21.28 kg/m2, with the majority having a normal weight (43.9%). According to ASPEN criteria, the majority were moderately malnourished (49.1%) and severely malnourished (31.6%). The mean energy intake was 19 kcal/kgBW, and the median protein intake was 0.6 g/kgBW. The median CRP level was 46.6 mg/L, with 96.5% of subjects experiencing an increased CRP level. The mean SMI for all subjects was 6.17 kg/m2, with male subjects having a mean SMI of 7.2 kg/m2 and female subjects having a mean SMI of 5.4 kg/m2. There was a weak negative correlation (r=- 0.373) that was statistically significant (p=0.005) between CRP levels and SMI in patients with CNS metastases.

Conclusion: CRP levels are correlated with SMI in patients with CNS metastasis. Higher CRP levels are associated with lower SMI in patients with CNS metastases."

Scleroderma is an autoimmune disease that involves connective tissue. One of the clinical symptoms is Raynaud's Phenomenon with 3 colors change on the skin. Marker inflammations, such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) can be used for investigating inflammation level in establishing Raynaud's Phenomenon.

The aim was to investigate whether there was a significant relationship between CRP and ESR level with Raynaud's Phenomenon on scleroderma patients. This research use cross sectional design and non-probability sampling. Total sample used was 73 (30 with Raynaud's Phenomenon, 43 did not have). The test used was chi square (then change into Fisher Test) to determine whether the data obtained were statistically and clinically significant. Data is considered statistically significant if the value of p < α. Data is considered clinically significant if value of research effect size > minimal effect size.

The results showed that most of scleroderma patients were 26, 38, and 47 years old (6,8% respectively) with range 20-73 years old, the majority was women (87,7%). The results obtained were no statistically or clinically significant relationship between CRP and Raynaud's Phenomenon, nor between female's ESR and Raynaud's Phenomenon. The relationship between male's ESR and Raynaud's Phenomenon was not statistically significant, but was considered clinically significant. "

"Latar Belakang: Kadar hsCRP berhubungan dengan mayor adverse cardiac events. Pada PJK stabil, hubungan antara kadar hsCRP dengan skor SYNTAX sebagai gambaran derajat aterosklerosis koroner belum jelas. Tujuan: Mengetahui hubungan antara kadar hsCRP dengan skor SYNTAX pada penderita PJK stabil, dan mengetahui titik-potong kadar hsCRP yang dapat membedakan antara kelompok skor SYNTAX rendah dengan yang tinggi. Metode: Observasional potong-lintang pada consecutive 93 subjek penderita PJK stabil dewasa yang menjalani angiografi koroner di RSUPNCM pada bulan Mei sampai September 2018, untuk memperoleh skor SYNTAX. Diambil darah dari arteri perifer sebelum tindakan angiografi untuk pemeriksaan hsCRP dan laboratorium dasar. Dieksklusi penderita infeksi berat, trauma, PGK, sirosis hati, keganasan, pengobatan steroid. Selanjutnya data dikumpulkan dan dianalisis. Skor SYNTAX dikelompokkan tinggi bila > 27, dan rendah bila nilai < 27. Untuk menilai titikpotong kadar hsCRP dipakai uji Sperman karena distribusi data tidak normal. Hasil: Ditemukan rerata umur 60,23 tahun (SB 8,984), IMT 26,30 Kg/m2 (SB 3,903), kol-LDL 117,74 mg/dL (SB 36,31). Kadar hsCRP dan skor SYNTAX tidak dipengaruhi oleh IMT atau kol-LDL (hsCRP-IMT: r:0,032; p:0,772; skor SYNTAX-IMT: r:-0,021; p:0,849; hsCRP-kol LDL: r:-0,149; p:0,266; skor SYNTAX-kol LDL: r:0,159; p:0,234).

Background: High sensitivity C-reactive protein levels are associated with mayor adverse cardiac events. In stable CAD, the association of baseline hcCRP level with coronary atherosclerosis severity assessed by SYNTAX score were not clear.

Objective: To investigate the association between hsCRP level and SYNTAX score in patients with stable CAD, and to know cut-off point of hsCRP level which can differentiated between the group of low SYNTAX score and of high SYNTAX score.

Methods: Cross-sectional observation to the consecutive 93 subject adult patients of stable CAD, undergoing coronary angiography in Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital on May to September 2018 to obtain SYNTAX score. The blood tests were taking from pheripheral artery prior to carrying out of coronary angiography to obtain level of hsCRP and laboratory data base. The exclusion were severe infection, trauma, CKD, cirrhosis hepatis, malignancy, and steroid therapy. The SYNTAX score will be differentiated between the group of high if the value > 27, and the group of low if the value < 27. Sperman analysis will be used to evaluate hsCRP cut-off point.

Results: Average age was 60,23 year (SD 8,984), BMI 26,30 Kg/m2 (SD 3,903), and LDL-chol 117,74 (SD 36,31). The Level of hsCRP and SYNTAX score were not influenced by BMI or LDL-chol (hsCRP - BMI: r:0,032; p:0,772; SYNTAX score - BMI: r:-0,021; p:0,849; hsCRP- LDL-chol: r:-0,149; p:0,266; SYNTAX score - LDL-chol: r:0,159; p:0,234). We found positif corelation (weak) between hsCRP and SYNTAX Score (r:0,270; p:0,009). Cut-off point was found in the hsCRP level 2,35 mg/L (sensitivity 0,69; spesivisity 0,53). AUC 0,554, CI 95%, p: 0,472, were the poor discrimination.

Conclusions: There were positif (weak) correlation between hsCRP level and SYNTAX score in stable CAD patients. Cut-off point in the hsCRP level > 2,35 mg/L can differentiated between the group of low SYNTAX score and of high SYNTAX score, but the prediction value is low-grade."

"Latar Belakang : Inflamasi kronik berhubungan dengan tumor dan menyebabkan prognosis yang buruk pada pasien kanker. Salah satu penanda inflamasi yang meningkat pada tumor adalah C-Reactive Protein (CRP). Kadar CRP meningkat pada lebih dari 50% pasien keganasan. Peningkatan CRP berhubungan kuat dengan keparahan penyakit pada beberapa kanker. Salah satu zat gizi dalam inflamasi adalah asam lemak omega-3. Asam lemak omega-3 dapat meningkatkan pembentukan specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPM) yang berfungsi meningkatkan mediator antiinflamasi, melindungi blood brain barrier, menurunkan sitokin proinflamasi, menurunkan apoptosis neuron. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menilai hubungan asupan asam lemak omega-3 dengan CRP pada pasien tumor sistem saraf pusat.Metode : Studi potong lintang ini dilakukan pada subjek berusia 18-65 tahun di RSUPN Cipto Mangunkusumo pada bulan November hingga Desember 2023. Pengukuran CRP menggunakan metode immunoturbidimetric assay. Pengambilan asupan asam lemak omega-3 menggunakan Food Frequency Questionnaires semikuantitatif. Analisis bivariat digunakan untuk menilai hubungan antara variabel bebas dan terikat.Hasil : Dari total 63 subjek penelitian, sebanyak 35 subjek (55,6%) pada kelompok asupan asam lemak omega-3 < 2 g/hari dan 28 subjek (44,4%) pada kelompok asupan asam lemak omega-3 ≥ 2 g/hari. Nilai median CRP 8,3 (0,6 – 71,5) mg/L. Tidak terdapat hubungan yang bermakna (p = 0,714) antara asupan asam lemak omega-3 dengan CRP pada pasien tumor sistem saraf pusat.Kesimpulan : Tidak terdapat hubungan bermakna antara asupan asam lemak omega-3 dengan CRP pada pasien tumor sistem saraf pusat.

Background: Chronic inflammation is associated with tumors and causes poor prognosis in tumor patients. One of the inflammatory markers that increase in tumors is C-Reactive Protein (CRP). CRP levels are elevated in more than 50% of patients with malignancies. Elevated CRP is associated with disease severity in some cancers. One of the nutrients in inflammation is omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids can increase the formation of specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPM) which function to increase anti-inflammatory mediators, protect the blood brain barrier, reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines, reduce neuron apoptosis. This study aims to assess the relationship between omega-3 fatty acid intake and CRP in patients with central nervous system tumors.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on subjects aged 18-65 years at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital from November to December 2023. CRP measurement using immunoturbidimetric assay method. Omega-3 fatty acid intake was collected using semiquantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire. Bivariate analysis was used to assess the relationship between independent and dependent variables.

Results: From the total 63 research subjects, 35 subjects (55,6%) in the omega-3 fatty acid intake group < 2 g/day and 28 subjects (44,4%) in the omega-3 fatty acid intake group ≥ 2 g/day. The median CRP value was 8.3 (0.6 - 71.5) mg/L. There was no significant relationship (p = 0,714) between omega-3 fatty acid intake and CRP in patients with central nervous system tumors.

Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between omega-3 fatty acid intake and CRP in patients with central nervous system tumors."

"Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui korelasi antara penilaian risiko malnutrisi menggunakan skor PG-SGA dengan kadar CRP serum sehingga dapat digunakan untuk memprediksi tingkat inflamasi pada pasien kanker kepala dan leher stadium I_IV guna mencegah terjadinya kaheksia. Malnutrisi hingga kaheksia pada kanker terjadi karena interaksi faktor tumor, faktor pejamu dan faktor-faktor lainnya. Faktor tumor berupa sitokin pro-inflamasi akan memicu respons pejamu untuk memproduksi protein fase akut seperti CRP. Protein fase akut memerlukan sejumlah substrat yaitu asam amino yang berasal dari otot rangka. Otot rangka akan mengalami degradasi sehingga menyebabkan wasting otot rangka. Oleh karena itu, CRP selain dapat digunakan sebagai marker inflamasi sistemik juga dapat digunakan sebagai salah satu indikator faktor risiko yang berperan dalam terjadinya malnutrisi dan kaheksia. Efek wasting otot rangka yang ditimbulkan secara tidak langsung oleh CRP dapat dinilai dengan terdapatnya penurunan BB maupun berkurangnya massa otot yang juga merupakan komponen dalam penilaian PG-SGA. Penelitian ini merupakan studi potong lintang dengan menggunakan consecutive sampling yang melibatkan 51 subjek kanker kepala dan leher stadium I_IV yang belum mendapatkan terapi. Hasil penelitian didapatkan rerata usia 46,6 13,9 tahun, sebanyak 76,5 berjenis kelamin laki-laki. Kanker nasofaring merupakan kanker terbanyak 80,4 , dan stadium terbanyak yaitu stadium IVA. Rerata indeks massa tubuh IMT yaitu 20,6 4,0 kg/m2, dan sebanyak 37,3 subjek berada pada IMT normal. Berdasarkan skor PG-SGA sebanyak 64,7 subjek berisiko tinggi malnutrisi dengan rerata skor PG-SGA 11,7 6,2. Nilai median CRP yaitu 6,4 0,4_170,4 . Penelitian ini memperoleh korelasi positif yang signifikan antara skor PG-SGA dengan kadar CRP serum dengan kekuatan korelasi lemah r = 0,372; p = 0,007.

The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between the malnutrition risk assessment using PG SGA score with serum CRP levels so that it can be used to predict the levels of inflammation in head and neck cancer patients stage I IV to prevent cachexia. Malnutrition and cancer cachexia occurs due to the interaction of tumor factors, host factors and other factors. Tumor factors such as pro inflammatory cytokines will trigger a response of the host to produce acute phase proteins such as CRP. Acute phase protein which require a number of amino acids derived from skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscles will be degraded, causing skeletal muscle wasting. Therefore, CRP can be used as a marker of systemic inflammation and can be used as one indicator of the risk factors also that contribute to malnutrition and cachexia. Effect of skeletal muscle wasting which caused indirectly by the CRP can be assessed by the weight loss and reduced muscle mass which is a component in the assessment of PG SGA also. This study is a cross sectional study using consecutive sampling, 51 subjects head and neck cancer stage I IV who had not received treatment participated in this study. Data showed the mean age of subjects was 46.6 13,9 years, and 76 were male. Most cancer sites were as nasopharyngeal 80,4, and mostly in stage IVA. The mean body mass index BMI is 20,6 40 kg m2, with most of the BMI is normal 37,3. Based on PG SGA score 64,7 of the subjects at high risk of malnutrition, and the PG SGA mean score is 11,7 6,2. The median value of CRP is 6,4 0,4 170,4. The result of this study showed a significant positive correlation between PG SGA score with serum CRP levels with the strength of correlation is weak r 0,372 p 0,007. "

"Latar Belakang. Penggunaan obat antiepilepsi (OAE) generasi lama (karbamazepin, fenitoin, fenobarbital dan asam valproat) mendominasi tatalaksana epilepsi di Indonesia. OAE tersebut berpotensi menimbulkan efek samping obesitas, peningkatan fraksi lipid aterogenik, peningkatan homosistein, resistensi insulin dan stres oksidatif yang merupakan faktor risiko ateroksklerosis dan penyakit kardiovaskular. Oleh karena itu diperlukan penilaian risiko global kejadian kardiovaskular dan aterosklerosis pada orang dengan epilepsi (ODE) yang menggunakan OAE generasi lama, yaitu dengan mengukur kadar hs-CRP plasma. Molekul hs-CRP merupakan penanda biologis inflamasi tingkat rendah dan penyebab langsung aterosklerosis. Metode. Desain penelitian adalah potong lintang yang membandingkan kelompok studi (ODE yang menggunakan OAE generasi lama) dan kelompok orang normal yang usia dan jenis kelaminnya disesuaikan. Subjek kelompok studi didapatkan dari populasi ODE yang kontrol di Poliklinik Saraf RS Cipto Mangunkusumo dan Yayasan Epilepsi Indonesia. Dilakukan wawancara, pemeriksaan fisik, dan pemeriksaan laboratorium pada semua subjek. Hasil. Didapatkan masing-masing 44 subjek kelompok studi dan kontrol. Kadar hs-CRP pada kelompok studi (1,19 (0,27-9,13) mg/L) lebih tinggi secara signifikan dibandingkan kelompok kontrol (0,745 (0,13-4,9) mg/L). Tidak terdapat hubungan signifikan antara usia, jenis kelamin, tipe bangkitan terakhir, jenis dan jumlah OAE dengan kadar hs-CRP. Kadar hs-CRP cenderung lebih tinggi pada ODE yang menggunakan OAE generasi lama penginduksi ekstensif enzim CYP (fenitoin, karbamazepin dan fenobarbital) dibandingkan asam valproat (1,785 (0,27-9,13) vs 0,77 + 0,36 mg/L). Kadar hs-CRP kelompok OAE penginduksi enzim CYP lebih tinggi secara bermakna dibandingkan kontrol, sedangkan rerata kadar hs-CRP kelompok asam valproat tidak berbeda dengan kontrol. Kadar hs-CRP juga cenderung lebih tinggi pada kelompok politerapi (2,255 (0,43-8,67) mg/L) dibandingkan monoterapi (1,105 (0,27-9,13) mg/L). Nilai median kadar hs-CRP kelompok politerapi penginduksi-penginduksi enzim CYP lebih tinggi (3,11 (1,80-8,67) mg/L) dibandingkan kelompok politerapi penginduksi-bukan penginduksi enzim (0,96 (0,43-4,59) mg/L). Pada analisis multivariat, interaksi antara jumlah dan jenis OAE berhubungan dengan kadar hs-CRP secara bermakna. Simpulan. Kadar hs-CRP pada ODE yang menggunakan OAE generasi lama lebih tinggi dibandingkan kelompok kontrol. Kadar hs-CRP cenderung lebih tinggi pada ODE yang menggunakan OAE generasi lama penginduksi ekstensif enzim CYP dan menggunakan OAE politerapi. Terdapat peningkatan risiko mengalami kejadian kardiovaskular dan aterokslerosis yang lebih tinggi pada ODE yang menggunakan OAE generasi lama penginduksi ekstensif enzim CYP baik monoterapi maupun politerapi.

Background. Old generation antiepileptic drugs (AED), including carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital and valproic acid are still utilized extensively in treating epilepsy patients (EP) in Indonesia. Those drugs are potencial causing obesity, higher atherogenic lipid fraction, higher homocysteine, insulin resistance and oxidative stress which are atherosclerosis risk factor and cardiovascular events. Therefore, atherosclerosis and cardiovascular global risk assesment is required in epilepsy patients treated with those AED by measuring high sensitivity C-reactive Protein (hs-CRP). Hs-CRP is well-known biomarker of chronic low level inflammatory and direct etiology of atherosclerosis.

Method. This is a cross sectional study comparing study group (EP treated with old generation AED) and control group (healthy subjects), age and sex are matched. Subjects of study group are selected from EP who are visiting neurology outpatient clinic in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital and Indonesia Epilepsy Foundation. All subjects underwent interview, physical examination and laboratory investigations.

Result. Forty four patients are selected for each group. Hs-CRP level of study group (1.19 (0.27-9.13) mg/L) is significantly higher compared to control group (0.745 (0.13-4.9) mg/L). No significant correlation between age, sex, last epileptic seizure type, AED type and duration with hs-CRP level. Hs-CRP level in EP treated with extensive CYP-inducer AED tend to be higher than valproic acid-treated patients (1.785 (0.27-9.13) vs 0.77 + 0.36 mg/L). Hs-CRP level in EP treated with extensive CYP-inducer AED is significantly higher compared to their control group, whereas no difference in valproic acid group compared to their control. Polytherapy group (2.255 (0.43-8.67) mg/L) tends to have higher hs-CRP level compared to monotherapy group (1.105 (0.27-9.13) mg/L). Median of hs-CRP in extensive CYP-inducer polytherapy (3.11 (1.80-8.67) mg/L) is higher than polytherapy with combination AED (0.96 (0.43-4.59) mg/L). In multivariat analysis, interaction between number and type of AED is significantly related to hs-CRP level.

Conclusion. Level of hs-CRP in EP treated with old generation AED is significantly higher than control. Hs-CRP level tends to be higher in EP treated with CYP inducer AED and polytherapy although not reaching significant point. Therefore, there is increased cardiovascular events and atherosclerosis risk in EP treated with extensive CYP-inducer AED in monotherapy and polytherapy manner."

"Pendahuluan. Skor CURB-65 merupakan suatu sistem skor untuk menilai derajat penyakit pneumonia, namun beberapa penelitian menilai performanya kurang baik, sehingga diperlukan faktor prognostik lain sebagai penambah variabel. C-Reactive Protein dinilai mempunyai peran sebagai faktor independen dalam memprediksi mortalitas pasien pneumonia. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menilai peran C-Reactive Protein pada skor CURB-65 dalam memprediksi mortalitas 30 hari pasien pneumonia komunitas rawat inap. Metode. Penelitian ini merupakan studi prospektif berbasis riset prognostik dengan subjek penelitian yaitu pasien pneumonia komunitas yang dirawat di IGD dan gedung A Rumah Sakit dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo RSCM, Jakarta bulan Oktober-November 2017. Keluaran yang dinilai pada penelitian ini yaitu mortalitas pasien dalam 30 hari. Pada subjek dilakukan penilaian performa skor CURB-65 sebelum dan setelah ditambah dengan nilai C-Reactive Protein. Performa diskriminasi dinilai dengan area under the curve AUC. Hasil. Sebanyak 200 pasien ikut serta dalam penelitian ini dengan angka mortalitas 37. Performa diskriminasi skor CURB-65 menunjukkan nilai AUC 70,1 IK 95 0,62-0,77. Setelah ditambahkan dengan nilai C-Reactive Protein berdasarkan cut off ge;48,5 mg/L, didapatkan peningkatan nilai AUC skor CURB-65 menjadi 88,0 IK 95 0,83-0,92. Simpulan. C-Reactive Protein memiliki peran pada skor CURB 65 sebagai prediktor mortalitas 30 hari pasien pneumonia komunitas rawat inap.

Introduction. CURB 65 is a scoring system to evaluate the degree of pneumonia, but some research identified that its performance to predict mortality was below expectations. Therefore, we need other prognostic factor as an added value. C Reactive Protein has a role as an independent factor to predict mortality in community acquired pneumonia. This study aims to evaluate role of C Reactive Protein in CURB 65 score to predict 30 days mortality in hospitalized community acquired pneumonia patient.

Method. A prospective cohort study was conducted to hospitalized community acquired pneumonia patients in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta from October to November 2017. Outcome of the study was mortality in 30 days. Performance of CURB 65 score was evaluated before and after addition of C Reactive Protein. Discrimination was evaluated with area under curved AUC.

Results. Total of 200 patients were included in this study with number of mortality was 37. Performance discrimination CURB 65 score was shown by ROC curve, the AUC is 70,1 CI 95 0,62 ndash 0,77. After addition of C Reactive Protein based of cut off ge 48,5 mg L, the AUC score improved to 88,0 CI 95 0,83 ndash 0,92.

Conclusion. C Reactive Protein has a role to CURB 65 score to predict 30 days mortality in hospitalized community acquired pneumonia patient."
