Time to Positivity of Blood Culture as a Predictor of Causative Pathogens and Survival in Neonatal Sepsis: A Retrospective Cohort Study from Indonesia.

Objectives: In the blood culture procedure for neonatal sepsis, time to positivity (TTP) reflects the pathogenic bacterial load and the time required for empirical antibiotic regimen administration prior to definitive treatment. This study aims to identify the differences in TTP among causative pathogens and its predictive value for the overall survival of neonates with sepsis at a tertiary healthcare center in Indonesia.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted from January 2020 to August 2022 at Dr.

Factors Associated With Culture-proven Neonatal Sepsis and Resistance to First-line Antibiotics in Indonesia.

Background: Neonatal sepsis is one of the leading causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality in low- and middle-income countries. Blood culture positivity rates and antibiotic resistance pattern of neonatal sepsis differs across various regions. This study aims to identify clinical cofactors associated with blood culture-proven neonatal sepsis and in vitro resistance to first-line antibiotics (ampicillin and gentamicin) from cases originating in a tertiary healthcare center in Surabaya, Indonesia.

Determinants of neonatal deaths in Indonesia: A national survey data analysis of 10,838 newborns.

Background: Neonatal mortality is one of the key impediments in achieving global sustainable development goals, especially in lower middle income countries (LMICs). As an LMIC with the highest reported neonatal mortality rate in Southeast Asia, Indonesia faces inequitable distribution of health facilities across the archipelago. Therefore, in this paper, we aim to evaluate the determinants of neonatal mortality rate in Indonesia to search for better strategies to overcome this problem.

Health literacy on COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccinations in Indonesia.

Health literacy on the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) affects people's capability to ascertain their health and health care quality during the pandemic. The objective of this study was to determine the levels of health literacy about COVID-19 vaccines and vaccinations (Vaccines and Vaccinations literacy-VL) in the Indonesian adult general population, assessing the perceptions of the respondents about current adult immunization and beliefs about vaccinations in general, and analyzing correlations of these variables with the VL levels. A cross-sectional study using a rapid survey was administered via the Internet.

The role of optimism in manifesting recovery outcomes after coronary artery bypass graft surgery: A systematic review.

Objective: Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is a major surgery conducted in coronary heart disease management. Postoperative recovery is a crucial process for patients undergoing CABG. This systematic review evaluates current evidence regarding the association between trait optimism and recovery outcomes in patients following coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
