"Tumor otak sekunder dapat menyebabkan masalah nutrisi. Manifestasi klinis penurunan selera makan, gangguan menelan, mual, muntah, hemiparesis, kejang, gangguan fungsional dan kognitif dapat menurunkan asupan makanan dan berat badan sehingga berisiko malnutrisi. Perubahan metabolisme makronutrien dan mikronutrien yang terjadi juga memengaruhi terjadinya malnutrisi. Tatalaksana terapi medik gizi yang diberikan bertujuan mempertahankan atau memperbaiki status gizi sehingga meningkatkan kualitas hidup dan memperlama harapan hidupnya. Terapi medik gizi yang sesuai rekomendasi European Society of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) adalah diet seimbang yang meliputi makronutrien, mikronutrien, nutrien spesifik, dan edukasi. Pasien serial kasus ini adalah perempuan, berusia antara 48 sampai 59 tahun dengan diagnosis tumor otak sekunder. Tiga pasien memiliki tumor primer kanker payudara, sedangkan satu pasien dengan kanker endometrium. Skrining menggunakan malnutrition screening tool (MST) dilanjutkan asesmen gizi. Terapi medik gizi diberikan sesuai rekomendasi ESPEN dan toleransi pasien. Pemantauan gizi meliputi pemeriksaan fisik, antropometri, komposisi tubuh, kapasitas fungsional dan analisis asupan. Hasil menunjukkan semua pasien mencapai asupan makan sesuai target pemberian makronutrien, mikronutrien, dan nutrien spesifik. Status gizi berhasil dipertahankan dengan tiga pasien mengalami peningkatan BB. Kapasitas fungsional keempat pasien menunjukkan perbaikan dengan menggunakan Karnofski dan Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG). Pemeriksaan handgrip hanya dapat dilakukan pada 3 pasien menunjukkan perbaikan.

A secondary brain tumor may cause nutritional problems. Clinical manifestations such as decreased appetite, swallowing disorders, nausea, vomiting, hemiparesis, seizures, functional and cognitive disorders may reduce food intake and increase malnutrition. Also changes in metabolism can affect the malnutrition. The aim of the medical nutrition therapy to maintain nutritional status to improve the quality of life and life expectancy. Balance diet were recommended by European Society of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) includes macronutrients, micronutrients, specific nutrients with continuing nutrition education. Patients are females, aged 48 to 59 years, with secondary brain tumor. The primary tumor of three patients were breast cancer and one patient was endometrial cancer. Screening was done using the malnutrition screening tool (MST) and followed with nutritional assessment. Medical nutrition therapy were given based on ESPEN recommendations and patient tolerance. Nutrition monitoring includes physical examination, anthropometry, body composition, functional capacity and intake analysis. Patient’s monitoring showed that all patients achieved their intake targets. The body weight of three patient increased showed that the nutrition status was maintained well enough. Patient’s functional capacity were improved according to Karnofsky and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG). Handgrip examination were also improve when it was assesed on three patients."

"Pasien kanker kepala-leher berisiko tinggi mengalami malnutrisi disebabkan oleh perubahan metabolisme, lokasi tumor, serta gejala toksisitas akut akibat kemoradiasi. Terapi medik gizi secara dini sejak pasien terdiagnosis kanker untuk mencapai asupan energi dan protein yang adekuat, didukung asupan branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) dan eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) sesuai target, serta aktivitas fisik dapat menjaga massa otot dan status gizi pasien. Acute kidney injury (AKI) merupakan efek toksisitas obat kemoterapi berbasis platinum yang sering dialami pasien. Kondisi tersebut dapat menghambat optimalisasi pemberian nutrisi khususnya protein pada pasien kanker. Tiga dari empat pasien serial kasus sudah mengalami penurunan berat badan drastis, juga pre-kaheksia atau kaheksia sebelum mendapat terapi medik gizi. Selama menjalani kemoradiasi, asupan keempat pasien mengalami penurunan akibat gejala toksisitas akut yang semakin memberat mulai minggu ke-2 radiasi, sehingga tiga dari empat pasien tidak dapat mencapai target asupan energi dan protein pada sebagian besar pemantauan, dengan kisaran antara 6–41 kkal/kgBB/hari dan 0,3–1,6 g/kgBB/hari. Pemberian oral nutrition supplements (ONS) dan nutrisi enteral melalui nasogastric tube (NGT) membantu pemenuhan makronutrien, mikronutrien, serta nutrien spesifik. Berbagai studi menyatakan bahwa pasien yang mendapat terapi medik gizi disertai konseling nutrisi rutin mengalami penurunan berat badan lebih sedikit selama menjalani kemoradiasi. Keempat pasien serial kasus ini mengalami penurunan berat badan >10% selama menjalani kemoradiasi, terutama dari penurunan massa otot. Pasien juga mengalami penurunan kapasitas fungsional dan kualitas hidup. Dua orang pasien yang mendapat terapi medik gizi sejak sebelum kemoradiasi disertai asupan nutrien spesifik sesuai target, dengan rentang asupan BCAA 3,5–16,2 g/hari dan EPA 1–1,38 g/hari, mengalami penurunan berat badan dan kualitas hidup relatif lebih sedikit dibanding dua pasien lainnya. Dibutuhkan asupan energi ≥30 kkal/hari dan asupan protein ≥1,2 g/hari disertai peningkatan aktivitas fisik untuk mempertahankan atau meningkatkan massa otot. Penurunan asupan masih dapat terjadi hingga beberapa minggu pascakemoradiasi, sehingga pemberian terapi medik gizi juga harus dilanjutkan setelah terapi kanker selesai.

Patients with head and neck cancer are at risk of malnutrition as a result of the metabolic alteration, site of their cancer, also acute toxicity following chemoradiation therapy. Early nutrition intervention consisted of adequate energy, protein, BCAA, and EPA intake, including physical activity initiated immediately after diagnosis was made, may maintain skeletal muscle mass and nutritional status. Platinum-based chemotherapy drug-induced nephrotoxicity can hinder the optimization of protein intake in cancer patients. Three out of four patients in this case series had experienced severe weight loss, also pre-cachexia and cachexia before initiation of nutrition intervention. Energy and protein intake of three patients remained insufficient until the end of chemoradiation therapy, ranged from 6–41 kcal/kg/day and 0,3–1,6 g/kg/day. These inadequacies were mainly caused by acute radiation toxicities that worsen as radiation went on. Oral nutrition supplements and enteral tube feeding may help to achieve adequate macronutrient, micronutrient, and specific nutrient intake. A number of studies demonstrated that regular dietary counseling during chemoradiation was associated with less weight loss. All patients in this case series suffered from weight loss >10%, mainly from skeletal muscle loss. Functional status and quality of life during chemoradiation therapy were also reduced. Better quality of life and less weight loss were seen in two patients who received early nutrition intervention and reached the daily intake target of specific nutrient, ranged from 3,5–16,2 g/day for BCAA and 1–1,38 g/day for EPA. Energy intake ≥30 kcal/day and protein intake ≥1,2 g/day combined with increased physical activity are needed to maintain or increase muscle mass. Side effects of radiation can last for months after treatment; therefore, nutrition intervention should be continued to maintain good nutrition after radiation therapy."

"Pasien kanker laring memiliki risiko terjadinya malnutrisi hingga kaheksia yang disebabkan oleh lokasi tumor dan sitokin inflamasi. Angka kejadian kanker laring dengan malnutrisi meningkat pada geriatri. Laringektomi total merupakan salah satu tatalaksana kanker laring dengan komplikasi pasca operasi tersering berupa pharyngocutaneous fistula (PCF). Tatalaksana nutrisi yang adekuat (makronutrien dan mikronutrien) perlu diberikan dengan menyesuaikan toleransi dan kondisi klinis setiap pasien. Keempat pasien pada serial kasus merupakan pasien karsinoma sel skuamosa laring pasca laringektomi total. Semua jenis kelamin pasien adalah laki-laki. Dua dari empat pasien adalah geriatri. Faktor risiko terbanyak adalah merokok. Semua pasien memiliki status gizi malnutrisi sedang berdasarkan ASPEN dan tiga pasien dengan kaheksia kanker. Sarkopenia didapatkan pada satu pasien non geriatri dan satu pasien geriatri. Terapi medik gizi diberikan sesuai dengan kondisi klinis dan toleransi asupan melalui jalur enteral per NGT. Suplementasi mikronutrien dengan dosis penyembuhan luka diberikan pada semua pasien. Tiga pasien tanpa komplikasi mendapatkan suplementasi omega-3. Komplikasi PCF didapatkan pada satu pasien non geriatri dengan status gizi berat badan berlebih berdasarkan IMT, hipoalbuminemia, anemia, dan riwayat pemasangan NGT dan trakeostomi. Asupan energi dan protein pada pasien yang mengalami PCF tidak mencapai target. Pemberian makanan oral pada pasien yang tidak mengalami PCF dilakukan pada hari ke 7-12 pasca operasi. Pasien dengan PCF pulang dengan NGT. Keempat pasien pulang dengan keadaan klinis yang membaik. Skor indeks Barthel dan Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS) mengalami perbaikan pada akhir masa perawatan. Kesimpulan yang didapatkan yaitu status gizi malnutrisi yang mendapatkan terapi nutrisi optimal akan mengurangi terjadinya komplikasi. Adanya komplikasi pasca operasi berperan dalam terjadinya PCF.

Patients with laryngeal cancer are at risk of malnutrition and cancer cachexia that is induced by tumor location and cytokine inflammatory. Incidence of malnutrition related to laryngeal cancer increases on geriatric patients. Total laryngectomy is one of the surgical procedures for laryngeal cancer with the most postoperative complications, such as pharyngocutaneous fistula (PCF). Adequate nutrition therapy (macronutrient and micronutrient) must be provided by adjusting to the clinical tolerance and condition of every patient. Patients in the case series are four patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma after total laryngectomy. The gender of all patients is male. Two patients are geriatric patients. Smoking is the major risk factor in this case series. All patients were moderately malnourished based on ASPEN criteria, and three patients had cancer cachexia. Sarcopenia was identified in one non-geriatric patient and one geriatric patient. Medical nutrition therapy was provided through enteral NGT according to clinical condition and tolerance intake of the patient. Micronutrient supplementation with dose for wound healing was given to all patients. Three patients without complication received omega-3 supplementation. PCF complication was identified in one non-geriatric patient with overweight status based on BMI, hypoalbuminemia, anemia, and history of tracheostimy dan used NGT. Energy and protein intake did not reach target in this patient. All four patients were discharged with improved clinical condition. There are improved in Barthel index and Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS). Conclusion of the case series is that adequate medical nutrition therapy provided in malnutrition patient can decrease the risk of complications after surgery. Complication after surgery with comorbid has a role in the development of PCF."

"Malnutrisi merupakan masalah yang sering ditemukan pada pasien luka bakar berat. Malnutrisi meningkatkan risiko infeksi, lama rawat, terhambatnya penyembuhan luka sehingga mortalitas meningkat. Glutamin merupakan nutrien spesifik yang berperan dalam penyembuhan luka. Tujuan penulisan serial kasus adalah dilaporkannya peran terapi medik gizi pada pasien luka bakar berat dengan malnutrisi yang mendapat glutamin. Empat pasien serial kasus dengan luka bakar berat, derajat II-III, 18,5-41% luas permukaan tubuh (LPT) disebabkan api dan bahan kimia dengan rentang usia 18−64 tahun. Berdasarkan rekomendasi ESPEN pada pasien dengan luka bakar >20% LPT, dosis glutamin enteral yang diberikan adalah 0,3-0,5 g/kg BB/hari. Asupan energi pasien selama perawatan 11-54 kkal/kg BB/hari, protein 0,2-2,4 g/kg BB/hari, lemak 6-28%, karbohidrat 52-70%, glutamin 0,02-0,2 g/kg BB/hari. Selama perawatan, hitung total limfosit (TLC) meningkat pada 2 dari 4 pasien dan terdapat perbaikan kapasitas fungsional pada 3 pasien. Peran glutamin pada pasien luka bakar yang mengalami malnutrisi belum dapat dinilai karena dosis yang diberikan kurang dari rekomendasi, namun tampak peningkatan TLC dan perbaikan kapasitas fungsional setelah pemberian nutrisi.

Malnutrition is the most common problem in severe burns patients. Malnutrition increases the risk of infection, length of stay, inhibits the healing process so increasing mortality. Glutamine is a specific nutrient that plays a role in wound healing. This case series was aimed to report the role of nutritional medical therapy in patients with severe burns with malnutrition who received glutamine. These case series analyzed four of 18-64 years old patients with severe fire and chemical burns, II-III degree, 18,5-41% of body surface area (BSA). According to ESPEN, the dose of enteral glutamine in burns patients >20% BSA is 0,3-0,5 g /kg BW/day. Energy intake of patients during treatment was 11-54 kcal /kg BW/day, protein 0,2-2,4 g /kg BW/day, fat 6-28%, carbohydrates 52-70%, glutamine 0,02-0,2 g /kg BW/day. During treatment, the total lymphocyte count (TLC) increased in 2 of 4 patients and there was an improvement in functional capacity in 3 patients. The role of glutamine in burn patients who have suffered malnutrition cannot yet be assessed because the dose given is less than the recommendation, but glutamine supplementation may be associated with an increase of TLC and improvement functional capacity."

"Latar Belakang: Luka bakar berat dengan komorbid diabetes melitus (DM) secara teoritis dapat mengalami fenomena second hit, rentan terhadap peningkatan respon hipermetabolisme karena efek gabungan luka bakar akut dan patofisiologi DM. Implikasi gabungan efek tersebut meningkatkan morbiditas mortalitas, sehingga dibutuhkan tatalaksana nutrisi adekuat untuk melawan respon hipermetabolik dan hiperkatabolik, yang diharapkan memengaruhi perbaikan kontrol glukosa darah. Metode: Serial kasus ini terdiri atas empat pasien luka bakar berat karena api dengan DM tipe 2 yang dirawat di ICU luka bakar. Tatalaksana nutrisi diberikan dengan nutrisi enteral dini dalam waktu 24 jam pertama, secara bertahap diberikan sesuai kondisi klinis dan toleransi asupan, dengan target kebutuhan energi awal 20-25 kkal/kg BB/hari, protein 1,5-2 g/kg BB/hari, lemak 25-30%, dan karbohidrat 55-60%. Hasil: Pemberian nutrisi pada keempat pasien dapat membantu mempertahankan kadar glukosa darah tidak mengalami peningkatan fluktuasi tajam. Interupsi pemberian nutrisi yang disebabkan berbagai kondisi klinis dan tindakan, menyebabkan target energi dan protein harian sulit tercapai pada keempat pasien. Komplikasi sepsis dan syok sepsis terjadi sehingga pada akhirnya keempat pasien meninggal. Kesimpulan: Luka bakar berat, pengendalian infeksi, obesitas, komorbid DM, variabilitas glikemik, serta tatalaksana nutrisi yang tidak adekuat, dapat meningkatkan morbiditas mortalitas pada pasien ini, karenanya masih menjadi tantangan tim terapi medik gizi.

Background: Severe burns with comorbid diabetes mellitus (DM) can theoretically experience a second hit phenomenon, susceptible to increased hypermetabolic response due to the combined effect of acute burns and DM pathophysiology. The combined implications of these effects increase mortality morbidity, so that adequate management of nutrition is needed to counteract the hypermetabolic and hypercatabolic responses, which are expected to influence improvement in blood glucose control. Method: The cases series consist of four patients with severe burns due to fire with type 2 DM, treated in ICU burns. Nutritional management is given with early enteral nutrition in the first 24 hours, gradually given according to clinical conditions and intake tolerance, with a target of initial energy requirements of 20-25 kcal/kg body weight/day, protein 1.5-2 g/kg body weight/day, 25-30% fat, and carbohydrates 55-60%. Results: Nutrition therapy to all four patients can help maintain blood glucose levels not experiencing sharp fluctuations. Nutritional interruption caused by various clinical conditions and actions, causes daily energy and protein targets difficult to achieve in all four patients. Complications of sepsis and sepsis shock occur and eventually all four patients die. Conclusions: Severe burns, infection control, obesity, comorbid DM, glycemic variability, and inadequate nutritional management, can increase mortality morbidity in these patients, therefore it remains a challenge for the nutritional medical therapy team."

"Latar Belakang: Katabolisme pascalaparotomi menyebabkan imbang nitrogen negatif dan diduga tidak dapat dicegah dengan pemberian nutrisi. Nutrisi parenteral dapat meningkatkan faktor anabolisme. Belum diketahui apakah proporsi asupan energi dan protein dari jalur parenteral terhadap asupan total berkorelasi dengan imbang nitrogen pasien pascalaparotomi elektif.Metode: Studi potong lintang dilakukan di Rumah Sakit Cipto Mangunkusumo (RSCM) pada pasien pascalaparotomi elektif yang memperoleh supplemental parenteral nutrition (SPN) antara 3 hari pertama pascalaparotomi. Pemeriksaan nitrogen urea urin (NUU) dilakukan terhadap pasien dengan asupan ≥ 12 kkal/kg BB pada hari ketiga pascalaparotomi. Pasien dengan gangguan ginjal dan hati tidak disertakan dalam penelitian.Hasil: Rerata imbang nitrogen hari ketiga pascalaparotomi sebesar -2,8 ± 3,8 g/hari, dengan median asupan energi 19 (12–34) g/kg BB dan protein 0,9 (0,4–1,9) g/kg BB. Proporsi asupan energi dari jalur parenteral sebesar 0,51 ± 0,26 dan protein 0,59 ± 0,28. Tidak ditemukan korelasi signifikan pada proporsi asupan energi dan protein dari jalur parenteral terhadap asupan total dengan imbang nitrogen. Korelasi signifikan ditemukan pada variabel total asupan energi (r = 0,697, p <0,001) dan protein (r = 0,808, p <0,001) dengan imbang nitrogen.Kesimpulan: Pemberian SPN dini penting dalam mencapai total asupan energi dan protein untuk mengimbangi kehilangan nitrogen hari ketiga pascalaparotomi elektif di RSCM meskipun korelasi proporsi asupan nutrisi dengan imbang nitrogen belum tampak pada penelitian ini.

Background: Post-laparotomy catabolism causes a negative nitrogen balance and is unlikely prevented by nutritional intervention. Parenteral nutrition can increase anabolic factor. It is not known whether the proportion of energy and protein intake from parenteral nutrition to total intake correlates with nitrogen balance in elective post-laparotomy patients.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital in elective post-laparotomy patients who received supplemental parenteral nutrition (SPN) within first 3 days after laparotomy. Urine urea nitrogen (UUN) examination was performed on patients with intake ≥ 12 kcal/kg BW on the third day after laparotomy. Patients with renal and hepatic impairment were excluded. Results: The mean nitrogen balance on the third day post-laparotomy was -2.8 ± 3.8 g/day, with median energy intake of 19 (12–34) g/kg BW and protein 0.9 (0.4– 1.9) g/kg BW. The proportion of energy intake from the parenteral route was 0.51 ± 0.26 and protein was 0.59 ± 0.28. No significant correlation was found in the proportion of energy and protein intake from the parenteral nutrition to total intake with nitrogen balance. Significant correlations were found for total energy intake (r= 0.697, p <0.001) and protein (r= 0.808, p <0.001) with nitrogen balance. Conclusion: Early administration of SPN is important in achieving total energy and protein intake to compensate nitrogen loss on the third day after elective laparotomy although the association between the proportion of nutrition intake and nitrogen balance has not been observed in this study."

"Latar belakang. Meningkatnya prevalensi obesitas diikuti pula dengan kejadian sakit kritis pada pasien obesitas. Obesitas merupakan suatu kondisi inflamasi kronis yang memengaruhi disregulasi respon imun dan meningkatkan risiko sepsis. Sepsis merupakan penyebab tersering perawatan di intensive care unit (ICU) dan berkaitan dengan tingginya mortalitas dan morbiditas. Terapi medik gizi yang adekuat diperlukan untuk menopang diregulasi metabolisme pada sakit kritis dan mencegah penurunan status gizi. Pasien obesitas dengan sepsis menunjukkan prognosis yang buruk pada kondisi hiperlaktatemia. Salah satu mikronutrien yang berperan dalam bersihan laktat adalah tiamin. Beberapa studi menunjukkan efek positif suplementasi tiamin pada penurunan kadar laktat dan mortalitas pada pasien sepsis.Kasus. Serial kasus ini memaparkan tiga pasien laki-laki dan satu pasien perempuan, berusia 33-68 tahun dengan status gizi obesitas, mengalami sakit kritis, dan sepsis. Seluruh pasien mendapatkan terapi medik gizi sejak fase akut sakit kritis. Pemberian energi dan protein sesuai dengan kondisi klinis dan toleransi pasien. Seluruh pasien mendapatkan suplementasi tiamin 2x100 mg per enteral yang dimulai pada 24 jam pertama pasca penegakkan diagnosis sepsis selama 7 hari.Hasil. Selama perawatan, asupan energi pasien kasus dapat mencapai 30 kkal/kgBB dan asupan protein mencapai 1,3–1,7 g/kgBB sesuai dengan fungsi ginjal pasien. Tiga pasien mengalami penurunan kadar laktat dan skor SOFA setelah 7 hari suplementasi tiamin. Ketiga pasien tersebut dapat melewati fase kritis di ICU dan pindah ke ruang perawatan biasa, sedangkan satu pasien mengalami peningkatan enzim transaminase dan peningkatan kadar laktat. Pasien tersebut mengalami 3 kali periode sepsis dan meninggal dunia saat perawatan sakit kritis.Kesimpulan. Suplementasi tiamin memberikan efek positif pada penurunan kadar laktat darah dan skor SOFA pada pasien sakit kritis dengan sepsis dan obesitas. Terapi medik gizi yang adekuat dapat menunjang luaran klinis dan kesintasan pada pasien sakit kritis dengan sepsis dan obesitas.

Background. The prevalence of obesity is rising worldwide followed by the incidence of critical illness in obese patients. Obesity is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects dysregulation of immune response and increases the risk of sepsis. Sepsis is the most common cause of hospitalization in the intensive care unit (ICU) and is associated with high mortality and morbidity. Adequate medical nutrition therapy is required to support metabolism in the critically ill and prevent deterioration in nutritional status. Obese patients with sepsis and hyperlactatemia exhibit poor prognosis. One of the micronutrients that play a role in lactate clearance is thiamine. Several studies have shown a positive effect of thiamine supplementation on reducing lactate levels and mortality in septic patients.

Case. This case series described three male patients and one female patient, aged 33-68 years with obesity, critical illness, and sepsis. All patients obtained medical nutrition therapy ever since the acute phase of critical illness. Administration of energy and protein was adjusted to clinical conditions and patients` tolerance. All patients received thiamine supplementation 2x100 mg enteral starting in the first 24 hours after diagnosis of sepsis for 7-day period.

Result. During treatment, the energy dan protein intake of case patients attained 30 kcal/kgBW and 1.3–1.7 g/kgBW respectively, according to the patients' tolerance. Three patients had decrement of lactate levels and SOFA scores after 7 days of thiamine supplementation. The three patients were able to surpass the critical phase in the ICU and step down to ward. Meanwhile, one patient experienced an increment in transaminases enzymes and lactate levels. The patient had 3 periods of sepsis and died during critical care.

Conclusion. Thiamine supplementation exhibited positive impact on lactate levels and SOFA scores decrement in critically ill patients with sepsis and obesity. Adequate medical nutritional therapy could promote clinical outcomes and survival in critically ill patients with sepsis and obesity."

"Latar Belakang: Pada luka bakar terjadi peningkatan respon inflamasi. Peningkatan c-reactive protein (CRP) pada luka bakar merupakan penanda inflamasi sistemik. Kadar vitamin D yang rendah banyak ditemukan pada pasien luka bakar dan berhubungan dengan luaran klinis yang buruk. Vitamin D memiliki efek memodulasi imun dan antiinflamasi. Metode: Serial kasus ini terdiri dari 4 pasien luka bakar berat karena ledakan gas dan api yang dirawat di ULB pada periode Januari hingga Mei 2022. Terapi medik gizi yang diberikan berupa nutrisi enteral dini, kemudian ditingkatkan secara bertahap sesuai toleransi dan klinis pasien, hingga kebutuhan energi total (berdasarkan formula Xie), target protein 1,5-2 g/kg BB/hari, lemak 25-30%, dan karbohidrat 55-60%. Keempat pasien serial kasus diberikan suplementasi vitamin D dan dilakukan pemeriksaan kadar vitamin D sebelum dan sesudah suplementasi, serta pemeriksaan kadar CRP. Hasil: Keempat pasien serial kasus selama perawatan telah mencapai kebutuhan makronutrien sesuai target, meskipun terdapat fluktuasi asupan karena adanya perburukan kondisi klinis atau tindakan operasi/perawatan luka. Keempat pasien serial kasus memiliki kadar vitamin D yang rendah, namun mengalami peningkatan dengan suplementasi. Kadar CRP juga diperoleh meningkat dan mengalami penurunan dengan meningkatnya kadar vitamin D, yang menyebabkan hambatan produksi sitokin proinflamasi dan jalur NF-kB, selain adanya terapi pembedahan dan antibiotik. Keempat pasien serial kasus diperbolehkan rawat jalan pada akhir perawatan. Kesimpulan: Pada serial kasus ini, semua pasien luka bakar dengan kadar vitamin D yang rendah memiliki kondisi inflamasi yang tinggi ditandai dengan peningkatan CRP. Pemberian suplementasi vitamin D menyebabkan peningkatan kadar vitamin D dan turut berperan dalam penurunan CRP, selain adanya terapi pembedahan dan antibiotik

Background: Burns induce an increased inflammatory response. Elevated c-reactive protein (CRP) is a marker of systemic inflammation in burns. Low vitamin D levels are common in burn patients and are associated with poor clinical outcomes. Vitamin D has immune-modulating and anti-inflammatory effects. Method: The case series was held in the burn unit Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital from January to May 2022, involving 4 severe burn patients due to gas explosions and fire. Nutritional medical therapy was given in the form of early enteral nutrition, then gradually increased according to patient tolerance and clinical, up to total energy requirements (based on Xie's formula), the target protein is 1.5-2 g/kg BW/day, 25-30% fat and 55-60% carbohydrates. Vitamin D supplementation was given and vitamin D levels were measured before and after supplementation, CRP levels were also measured. Result: All case series patients during treatment had achieved the target macronutrient requirements, despite fluctuations of intake due to clinical deterioration or surgical procedure or wound care. All patients had low vitamin D levels but increased with supplementation. CRP levels also increased and decreased with increasing vitamin D levels, leading to inhibition of inflammatory cytokines production and the NF-kB pathway, besides surgical and antibiotics therapy. All patients were allowed outpatient treatment at the end of treatment. Conclusion: This case series exhibited low level of vitamin D in burn patients accompanied with elevated CRP level indicating high inflammatory condition. Vitamin D supplementation causes an increase in vitamin D levels and may contribute to decreasing CRP levels, in addition to surgical and antibiotic therapy."

"Latar belakangJumlah pasien obesitas yang dirawat di unit perawatan intensif semakin meningkat. Pasien obesitas dalam kondisi sakit kritis berisiko mengalami acute kidney injury (AKI). Belum ada panduan pemberian energi dan protein yang optimal bagi pasien obesitas sakit kritis dengan AKI. Asupan energi dan protein yang tidak adekuat akan memperberat risiko malnutrisi dan sarkopenia sehingga meningkatkan komplikasi, lama rawat, dan mortalitas. Terapi medik gizi yang komprehensif diperlukan untuk mencegah progresivitas penyakit dan penurunan status gizi yang memengaruhi luaran klinis pasien.Kasus:Pasien pada serial kasus ini adalah tiga orang laki-laki dan satu orang perempuan, berusia 58-64 tahun dengan status gizi obesitas, mengalami sakit kritis, dan menderita AKI saat perawatan. Seluruh pasien mendapatkan terapi medik gizi sejak sakit kritis fase akut. Preskripsi energi berdasarkan rule of thumb sedangkan protein berdasarkan nilai imbang nitrogen. Pemberian nutrisi disesuaikan dengan kondisi klinis, hemodinamik, dan toleransi asupan pasien.Hasil:Selama perawatan, asupan energi pasien dapat mencapai 30 kkal/kgBB dengan protein 1-1,3 g/kgBB. Dua pasien mengalami imbang nitrogen negatif hingga akhir perawatan karena asupan protein tidak adekuat dan kondisi hiperkatabolisme berat. Dua pasien dengan asupan protein yang cukup (1,1–1,2 g/kgBB) memiliki imbang nitrogen yang normal. Tiga pasien mengalami komplikasi sepsis dan satu pasien menderita ulkus dekubitus.

Background

The prevalence of obesity has increased and is reflected in the intensive care unit (ICU) population. Critically ill obese patients are at risk for acute kidney injury (AKI). There are no guidelines for optimal energy and protein delivery for critically ill obese patients with AKI. Inadequate energy and protein intake will exacerbate malnutrition and sarcopenia, thereby increasing complications, length of stay, and mortality. Comprehensive nutritional medical therapy is needed to prevent disease progression and derivation of nutritional status that affects the clinical outcome.

Case

The patients were three men and one woman, aged 58-64 years with obesity, critically ill, and AKI.

All patients received medical nutrition therapy since the acute phase of critical illness.

Energy prescription is based on the rule of thumb while protein is based on the nitrogen balance.

Nutritional administration is adjusted to the clinical condition, hemodynamic, and patient's tolerance.

Result

During treatment, the patient's energy intake reach 30 kcal/kgBW with protein of 1-1,3 g/kgBW.

Two patients experienced negative nitrogen balance at the end of treatment due to inadequate protein intake and severe hypercatabolism.

Two patients with adequate protein intake (1.1–1.2 g/kgBW) had normal nitrogen balance.

Three patients had complications of sepsis and one patient had a pressure ulcer. One patient developed malnutrition and sarcopenia during treatment.

Two patients with a normal nitrogen balance were able to pass the critical phase and step down to the ward.

Two patients with negative nitrogen balance died during intensive care treatment.

Conclusion

Medical nutrition therapy and adequate protein intake in critically ill obese patients with AKI can improve clinical conditions,increase survival, and reduce mortality."

"Latar Belakang: Disfungsi saluran cerna berhubungan dengan luaran klinis yang lebih buruk pada pasien sakit kritis. Kadar albumin serum yang rendah merupakan salah satu faktor yang dapat meningkatkan risiko disfungsi saluran cerna. Hubungan kadar albumin dengan disfungsi saluran cerna masih inkonklusif karena pendekatan diagnostik disfungsi saluran cerna yang belum terstandarisasi dengan baik. Gastrointestinal dysfunction score (GIDS) instrumen dengan subjektivitas minimal dan reproduktifitas maksimal, diharapkan dapat menegakkan diagnosis disfungsi saluran cerna dengan objektivitas yang lebih baik. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara kadar albumin saat admisi dengan terjadinya disfungsi saluran cerna yang dinilai menggunakan GIDS. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kohort prospektif pada subjek berusia ≥18 tahun yang dirawat di ruang rawat intensif Rumah Sakit Umum Pusat Nasional (RSUPN) dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo dan Rumah Sakit Universitas Indonesia (RSUI). Karakteristik subjek penelitian berupa usia, jenis kelamin, status gizi, penyakit komorbid, diagnosis admisi intensive care unit (ICU), waktu inisiasi pemberian nutrisi oral atau enteral, kebiasaan mengonsumsi alkohol, dan skor sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA). Dilakukan analisis bivariat untuk menilai hubungan kadar albumin saat admisi dengan disfungsi saluran cerna. Hasil: Diperoleh 64 subjek, kelompok kadar albumin rendah 32 subjek dan kelompok kadar albumin normal 32 subjek. Rerata usia subjek 50,2±15,7, laki-laki 64,1%, 26,6% subjek dengan status gizi berat badan normal berdasarkan indeks massa tubuh (IMT), 50% subjek dengan malnutrisi secara klinis,  21,9% subjek dengan diagnosis komorbid diabetes melitus dan 3,1% subjek dengan parkinson, 34,4 % subjek dengan diagnosis admisi bedah, 95,3% subjek mendapatkan nutrisi oral atau enteral ≤ 48 jam, median skor SOFA 3 (0-12). Rerata kadar albumin  subjek dengan disfungsi saluran cerna 2,7±0,6 g/dL, rerata kadar albumin  subjek tidak disfungsi saluran cerna 3,7±0,7 g/dL. 31,3% subjek mengalami disfungsi saluran cerna. Terdapat hubungan signifikan secara statistik antara kadar albumin saat admisi dengan disfungsi saluran cerna RR 9 (95%CI 2,3-35,6; p <0,001) dan skor GIDS, p<0,001. Kesimpulan: Terdapat hubungan bermakna antara kadar albumin saat admisi dengan disfungsi saluran cerna. Pemeriksaan kadar albumin saat admisi ICU idealnya dilakukan secara rutin dan diikuti dengan koreksi kadar albumin apabila ditemukan kondisi hipoalbuminemia.

Background: Gastrointestinal dysfunction is associated with worse clinical outcomes in critically ill patients. Low serum albumin levels are one factor that can increase the risk of gastrointestinal dysfunction. The relationship between albumin levels and gastrointestinal dysfunction is still inconclusive because the diagnostic approach to gastrointestinal dysfunction is not yet well standardized. Gastrointestinal dysfunction score (GIDS) is an instrument with minimal subjectivity and maximum reproducibility, which is expected to provide a diagnosis of gastrointestinal dysfunction with better objectivity. This research was conducted to determine the relationship between albumin levels at admission and the occurrence of gastrointestinal dysfunction as assessed using GIDS. Methods: This study is a prospective cohort study of subjects aged ≥18 years who were treated in the intensive care unit at RSUPN dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo and RSUI. Characteristics of research subjects included age, gender, nutritional status, comorbid diseases, ICU admission diagnosis, time of initiation of oral or enteral nutrition, alcohol consumption habits, and SOFA score. Bivariate analysis was carried out to assess the relationship between albumin levels at admission and gastrointestinal dysfunction. Results: There were 64 subjects, 32 subjects in the low albumin level group and 32 subjects in the normal albumin level group. Mean age of subjects 50.2 ± 15.7, 64.1% male, 26.6% subjects with normal weight nutritional status based on BMI, 50% subjects with clinical malnutrition, 21.9% subjects with comorbid diagnosis of diabetes mellitus and 3.1%  subjects with Parkinson's, 34.4%  subjects with surgical admission diagnosis, 95.3% subjects received oral or enteral nutrition ≤ 48 hours, median SOFA score 3 ( 0-12). The mean albumin level of subjects with gastrointestinal dysfunction was 2.7 ± 0.6 g/dL, the mean albumin level of subjects without gastrointestinal dysfunction was 3.7 ± 0.7 g/dL. 31.3% of subjects experienced gastrointestinal dysfunction. There was a statistically significant relationship between albumin levels at admission and gastrointestinal dysfunction RR 9 (95%CI 2.3-35.6; p <0.001) and GIDS score, p<0.001. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between albumin levels at admission and gastrointestinal dysfunction. Albumin levels examination during ICU admission should ideally be carried out routinely and followed by correction of albumin levels if hypoalbuminemia is found."
