: Indonesia, as a developing country, has limited data on the factors associated with 30-day mortality in COVID-19 patients in Indonesia. As a matter of fact, study analyzing factors associated with 30-day mortality of COVID-19 infection in Indonesia has never been conducted. This study aims to fill this gap in the literature by conducting a large-scale analysis of factors associated with 30-day mortality in COVID-19 patients in Indonesia.

This study aimed to analyze the levels of anti-SARS-CoV-2 S-RBD IgG and NAB among cancer patients who were vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccines, either with BNT162b2, mRNA-1273, AZD1222/ChAdOx1nCoV-19, or Coronavac/BBIBP-CorV vaccines.
Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted among subjects with either solid or hematological cancers who had received two doses of either mRNA or non-mRNA vaccines within 6 months.
In recent years, considerable progress has been made in the standard treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) due to the availability of new potent drugs. However, the majority of data on CLL were derived from Western populations, with limited studies and guidelines on the management of CLL from an Asian population perspective. This consensus guideline aims to understand treatment challenges and suggest appropriate management approaches for CLL in the Asian population and other countries with a similar socio-economic profile.

This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to provide the most recent update on available evidence on the clinical benefits and risk of oral and parenteral anticoagulants, as well agents with anticoagulant properties, in hospitalized and post-discharge COVID-19 patients.
Methods: This systematic review synthesizes data on the outcome of anticoagulation in hospitalized and post-discharge COVID-19 patients.
Purpose: In 2016, there were 1,308,061 cases of cancer being treated in Indonesia, with 2.2 trillion rupiahs spent, amounting to $486,960,633 in US dollars (purchasing power parity 2016). The high burden of cancers in Indonesia requires a valid data collection to inform future cancer-related policies.

Methods: a multicenter, prospective, disease registry, recruiting patients diagnosed as acutely ill medical diseases and other medical conditions at risk of VTE, with in-hospital immobilization for at least 3 days.
Results: of 401 patients, 46.
Aim: To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with chronic phase CML and evaluate complete hematologic responses (CHR) and overall survival (OS) after treatment with Imatinib.
Methods: This is a cross sectional study using retrospective medical record of patients with chromosome Philadelphia positive and/or BCR-ABL positive chronic phase CML at the polyclinic of Teratai Department of Internal Medicine Cipto Mangunkusumo National Hospital during 2003-2008. In a period of 6 years, we included 53 patients with chromosome Philadelphia positive and/or BCR-ABL positive chronic phase CML.
Aim: To evaluate BMD and bone resorption marker in HIV-infected patients in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed between February and May 2008 in adult HIV-infected patients who had not been treated with antiretrovirals. BMD was measured at the lumbar spine by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) bone densitometer (Lunar Prodigy, GE Medical System, USA), whereas CTX (C-terminal telopeptide) was measured by an automated analyzer (Elecsys 2010, Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Mannheim, Germany) using the b-Crosslaps serum reagents.
