COPD affects the lungs and produces significant systemic consequences. In Bangladesh, the prevalence of COPD after 40 years of age is 21.24% and the general population is 4.3%. COPD leads to a sedentary life, which reduces the functional status of the individual. Functional status assessment is vital for appropriate therapy and rehabilitation programs in COPD patients. A Sit-to-stand test (STST) has been proposed as a better alternative to 6MWT, but a Squat-to-stand test (SqTST) to test their ability to stand from the squatting position will be more appropriate in rural patients. This study was conducted using a cross-sectional observational design from July 2020 and September 2021 in the Department of Respiratory Medicine at the National Institute of Diseases of the Chest and Hospital, Bangladesh. Sixty (60) diagnosed cases of COPD patients were enrolled in this study. Severities of airflow obstruction according to GOLD were categorized on the basis of post-bronchodilator FEV₁ by spirometry. SqTST was performed on all patients, and functional status was recorded. All data were collected using a preformed questionnaire. Statistical analyses of the findings were carried out using SPSS version 23.0. In this study, the majority of 21(35.0%) patients had very severe COPD, and almost half (48.3%) of the patients had abnormal SqTST. A significant relation was found between the severity of COPD with SqTST (p=0.001). Based on the receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) curve, SqTST had an area under curve 0.901. SqTST had 82.1% sensitivity, 85.7% specificity, 83.3% accuracy, 91.4% positive predictive value, and 72.0% negative predictive value to find severe COPD cases in stable COPD patients. ROC was constructed using SqTST, which gave a cut-off value <7.0, with 82.1% sensitivity and 85.7% specificity for predicting severe COPD. From this study, it may be concluded that SqTST is a clinically useful tool to assess the functional status of stable COPD patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":94148,"journal":{"name":"Mymensingh medical journal : MMJ","volume":"33 3","pages":"656-663"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141474048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In critically ills, hyperglycemia is secondary to already existing DM or stress-induced hyperglycemia (SIH). Admission glycemic gap (AGG) is considered as a reliable indicator of SIH. This study aimed to explore the association of AGG on diabetic neuro-critical patients' short-term mortality, and understand the potential of AGG as the predictor of outcome. Sixty adult diabetic neuro-critical patients admitted in ICU and stayed at least for 24 hours, were prospectively observed for 30 days, or until discharge or death, whichever came first. The patients' initial clinical assessment and HbA1c, CBC, ABG, and blood glucose level were done within 24 hours of admission. A1c derived admission glucose (ADAG) was calculated as, ADAG = (1.59 × HbA1c) - 2.59 (mmol/L). The AGG was calculated by subtracting ADAG from admission blood glucose level (ABGL). Death or survival of 30 days was our primary outcome and participants were divided between survivor or non-survivor groups according to primary outcome. Statistical comparisons of the study variables between the groups were performed and the relationship between parameters derived from blood glucose and mortality was prospected. Among the 60 patients enrolled, 35(58.3%) were non-survivors and 25(41.7%) were survivors. Age, sex, residence, primary diagnosis, co-morbidity, or drug history had no association with survival/non-survival. Among the initial clinical assessment parameters, lower GCS had significant association with non-survival. AGG, HbA1c, ADAG and ABGL were significantly different between the groups, with higher values in the non-survivors. Lower GCS, and higher AGG, HbA1c, ADAG and ABGL showed significant odds of non-survival. The highest odds of non- survival was for AGG (OR 2.95, 95% CI: 1.83-4.75; p<0.001). For ABGL and HbA1c the OR were 2.03 (95% CI: 1.44-2.86; p<0.001) and 1.93 (95% CI: 1.04-3.58; p<0.04) respectively. The final adjusted odds (aOR) of non-survival for higher AGG was 3.25 (95% CI: 1.71-6.16; p<0.001), signifying that AGG is independently associated with non-survival. AGG, GCS level, ABGL, HbA1c level, and ADAG can predict short-term outcome (mortality).

This cross-sectional observational study was conducted in the Department of Physiology in collaboration with the Department of Nephrology, Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital (SMAGOMC&H), from July 2022 to June 2023 to observe the status of kidney function among the employees of SMAGOMC&H, Bangladesh. The study population consisted of all willingly participating volunteers working at SMAGOMC&H between the ages of 18 and 59 years. Participants with acute illness, malignancy, pregnancy, diagnosed case of CKD, and history of kidney transplant were excluded from the study. A thorough history was taken, and a physical examination was done. Serum creatinine, and spot urine albumin creatinine ratio (ACR) of each participant were measured. eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) was estimated by using NKF (National Kidney Foundation) eGFR calculator app. A Semi-structured questionnaire was used for data collection.
