PMID: 39086347

INTRODUCTION: Hirschsprung's disease-associated enterocolitis (HAEC) remains a substantial morbidity and mortality risk in Hirschsprung's disease. HAEC is a challenge. Its p athophysiology is still a mystery, and no adequate treatment strategy exists. The aim of the study is to analyse the pre-and post-operative, mortality and complications: strictures, anastomotic leak, constipation and incontinence associated with HAEC.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Adjust to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) 2020; this study met all the requirements and was up-todate. The search approach was online publications between 2013 and 2023 in Pubmed and SagePub. It was decided not to consider review pieces that had already been published and half done. The STATA 18th version was used for metaanalysis.
RESULTS: Our search results included 370 PubMed and 149 SagePub articles. Since 2013, 134 PubMed and nine SagePub articles have been obtained, and seven studies have met the criteria.
CONCLUSION: Disorders of intestinal motility in the aganglionic segment and accumulation of faeces disrupt the balanced microbiota population, which are factors of preoperative HAEC. Major congenital anomalies and low birth weight worsen pre-operative HAEC. Pre-operative HAEC can continue and affect the post-operative. Constipation and fecal incontinence are still the main challenges after HSCR surgery.

INTRODUCTION: Burn injury patients are at high risk of infection as a result of the nature of the burn injury itself, including prolonged hospital stays, antibiotics use, treatment procedures, etc. In this era, nosocomial infections caused by Acinetobacter baumannii (A.ba) have increased significantly. This study was conducted to investigate the micro-organism pattern and the risk factors for burn patients with multi-drug resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii (A.ba) in the Burn Unit at Dr. Soetomo Hospital.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective, observational study among burn patients with A.ba admitted to the Burn Unit at Dr. Soetomo Hospital from January 2020 to December 2021. Potential risk factors for MDR-A.ba were analysed by univariate and multivariate analysis. The patients diagnosed with MDR-A.ba wound infection were included in the case group. The patients diagnosed with non MDR, these are: (1) the patients isolated micro-organisms other than A.ba, (2) sterile isolates, and (3) the patients isolated as A.ba but not MDR, were included in the control group.
RESULTS: A total of 120 burn patients were included in this study. During this study, 24% burn patients were found to have Acinetobacter baumannii and 79% (from 24% of Acinetobacter baumannii) had MDR-A.ba. According to univariate analysis, risk factors that significant were: Abbreviated Burn Severity Index (ABSI) (p = 0,002; OR: 6.10; CI: 1,68 - 21,57); hospital Length Of Stay (LOS) (p < 0,000; OR: 6.95; CI: 2,56 - 18,91) and comorbid (p = 0,006; OR: 3,72; CI: 1,44 - 9,58). But, after analysed by multivariate analysis, only ABSI was the significant factor (p = 0,010; OR: 1,70; CI: 1,23 - 2,36).
CONCLUSION: Based on univariate analysis, the significant risk factors for MDR-A.ba were: ABSI, hospital length of stay and comorbid. But after adjusted by multivariate analysis, only ABSI was the significant factor.
